What the title says.

Please no "just google it you'll find out how", I've already tried, there's nothing.
Even tried going in blind multiple times and I get installation errors every time.

EDIT: I've figured out how, steps here

Hi... so if you mean by How to convert PS3_GAME with update? you have a PS3_GAME and PS3_UPDATE folder right? if it is the case try only using the PS3_GAME folder... i have used ODE and some backups has those two folder just concentrate on PS3_GAME and ignore the other.... Hope It may work
 
A Blueray Disk game? If it's that I found this and seemed to work
  1. download update of the game
  2. extract it then resign eboot using aldostools
  3. take param.sfo from game folder (not from update folder) then edit it to HG and version according to update then overwrite param from update folder
  4. rebuild PKG
  5. install PKG to ur PS3
  6. copy usrdir and tropdir from ur Game folder to installation folder (dev_hdd0/game/gameid)
  7. install PKG again
Click to expand...

But, after installing it, when I was going to boot the game, It asked for the disk
What I did was:
  1. Downloaded the update using Awesome Update Findr 0.3 to get the link
  2. Extracted it using PSN PKG Decryptor & Extractor Written By LMAN, I tried with psn_package_npdrm but it said the file was corrupted.
  3. I edited the PS3_GAME param.sfo using PARAM.SFO Editor from Aldo's Tools, I found it in a youtube video, search for Param.sfo - By BaSs_HaXoR, I changed the category form DG (Disk Game) TO HG (HDD Game), changed the App Ver. to the Update Version (ex. 01.04), and leved the Version as it (01.00) Then I replaced the UPDATE param.sfo with the one I just edited, and then replaced the main game files with the files in the update folder.
  4. I rebuilt the PKG using PKG Toolkit GUI, which uses psn_package_npdrm, in that folder there must be the PS3_GAME folder and rename it to the title ID, also I used a .bat that automatically makes the config file and build the PKG, in case you don't want yo use the GU, you should erase the ABCD12345 example, or use it as a guide at first of how the directory should look like.
  5. I wasn't able to resign with PS3xplot-resigner it because as a DG it doesn't have a .RAP file, so no .RIF, or RIF INSTALLER .PKG.
  6. I downloaded the .pkg from the PC to the PS3, using the package_link.xml, but now there's the PKG Linker.
  7. It installed correcty, everything seemed right, the version, the logo, the background, the name, but it asked for the disk.

I know it's not that helpful, but wanted to share my experience, and see if someone knows a workaround for PS3xploit 3.0, maybe it works for lower FW or in CFW, or maybe I just did something wrong, also I repacked a HDD Game into a PKG installed it, but it doensn't run even with HAN Enabler, Debug PKG Enabler, I installed the .RIF PKG, manually copied the .RIF and signed acc.dat, and still didn't get it to boot.

edit: The error I get when trying to boot the installed pkg of the HDD Game is 80010017

FOR /D %%d IN (NP???????*;B??S?????) DO set ps3pkg=%%d

echo Content-ID = %ps3pkg:~2,1%P0001-%ps3pkg%_00-0000111122223333>package.conf
echo klicensee = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000>>package.conf
echo DRMType = Free>>package.conf
echo ContentType = GameExec>>package.conf
echo PackageVersion = 01.00>>package.conf

psn_package_npdrm.exe package.conf %ps3pkg%
pause

No, I know what PS3_UPDATE is. I'm talking about an update .pkg, since that's required with this exploit, you can't convert the PS3_GAME alone.

I actually tried this too (with TrueAncestor_PKG_Repacker_v2.45) and got the same error. It asked for a disc.
That's why I'm asking here, I've tried a bunch of methods and all of them result in different errors.
 
Okay, I've figured it out, here's how to do it:

The game should have a LICDIR/LIC.DAT. If it doesn't, you might be able to generate it, use google.
First you need to "prepare" the game like you would for backup injection using something like CFW2OFW Helper.
Simply put the PS3_GAME folder in the same place as the .exe and run it. It will download and unpack the updates by itself.
This should give you 2 folders, one starting with BL/BC (BLUS, etc) and one starting with NP (NPUB, etc).
Then you need to download this tool, place the BL/BC+NP folders in the same folder as the .bat, and run the .bat.
This should make 3 pkgs, all starting with 000000-NP.
Run these 3 pkgs through ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe to obtain _signed.pkg versions.
Install all 3 of these on your PS3 without Debug PKG enabled.
You should now be able to play!

Then you need to download this https://github.com/nikolaevich23/make-pkg-bat (you only need the .bat and 2 .exes, the rest is just trash), place the BL/BC+NP folders in the same folder, and run the .bat.
This should make either 3 or 4 pkgs. If you get a pkg starting with 000000-BL/BC that one's useless. You only need the 3 starting with 000000-NP. Run these 3 pkgs through ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe to obtain _signed.pkg versions. Install all 3 of these versions on your PS3 without Debug PKG enabled. You should now be able to play!

I will try, have some games already in folder format just need to convert, but can only test in home at night, but thanks for the help.

Did you test any game with lic.dat file? if so, did it work? i'm about to try god of war 3, gonna take some time
Click to expand...
The only game I tested had LIC.DAT. The bat file will create a .pkg just for the LIC file (the 3 final pkgs are GAME, PATCH and LIC, you need all 3 to play).
If your game does not have LICDIR/LIC.DAT you might have to create one, I haven't tried this yet.

Hello i am not able to create the PATCH file with make pkg bat. Installing the pkg of GAME and LIC trigger the ps3 to ask for a disc

After using CFW2OFW Helper i have BL and NP folders, Make pkg bat gives me two pkg files NP GAME and NP LIC
I tried other games like no more heroes to see if the problem was that game, but the CFW2OFW does not recognize

What are the full names of the folders?
Did you get any errors?
 
Bakugo said:
Yeah that's a bug in the .bat file, it doesn't read the folder if it's not B__S (even though B__M is possible).
I made a modified version that should work with all games and doesn't make the extra useless pkg.

Thank you very much! It is annoying that the CFW2OFW does not work with all games, but i'm happy to be able to convert some games
 
Bakugo said:
Are you SURE you're installing the _signed.pkg versions and not the originals?
Also, did you enable debug pkgs? If you did, you need to disable it by rebooting before installing anything.

I installed it successfully but it is appearing in game data folder in ps3 ? Should i change its using parameters to hg ?
