PS3 Question about installing homebrews in ISO format

[GiannisIrakleio]

Hi all, i downloaded a homebrew in .iso format, i saved in the root folder of my external usb drive, but the system can only see the multiman.pkg. What am i doing wrong ? I just want to install a homebrew in .iso format

We do not allow piracy related discussions or help here, and I haven't seen any homebrew distributed as ISO (though it is theoretically possible). If the app / game you're trying to install is really homebrew please provide a link to it so I can verify it's not piracy, and then I'll help you.

Homebrews typically are distributed as NPDRM free software. They are PKG installed in the internal HDD.

To load homebrews from ISO they need to be re-signed with retail keys and the application should use relative paths to find the resource files in the new path. Some non properly signed homebrews can run through the debug icon "★ app_home/PS3_GAME".

ISO format requires a backup manager to mount the content. So this format is not convenient for homebrews.

webMAN MOD allows mount and play extracted PSN content via the debug icon. The files should extracted to a subdirectory within GAMEI folder of an USB FAT32. The subdirectory should be named with the TitleID or ContentID of the homebrew.

ISO format can be used to install homebrew packages stored in INSDIR, PKGDIR or PS3_EXTRA folders. Also the packages can be placed in the root directory of the ISO to allow their installation using Package Manager.

I'm pretty sure TrueAncestor can sign homebrew that way right? If there were some homebrew stuff that's over a gigabyte or so, it might actually be a good idea to release it as an .iso in order to save people some precious HDD space.
