Split PKG installation

[Factr0]

What's up, Factro back with another problem that he can't seem to figure out even with all the videos on the specific topic he needs help with.

So, I want to install a game say Orange Box along with Skate 3 and well they are over 4gb so I go online this and that vut then I stumble into this channel

I have the files on my fat32 128gb thumb drive... I just don't know what to do now I tried installing them one by one but that didn't seem to work

Maybe I am missing something and I just dont know it so that's why I came here again

Packages larger than 4GB cannot be installed from USB FAT32.

There are various methods to install them:

Method 1
- Use FTP to copy the large package(s) directly to /dev_hdd0/packages
- Install the files using Package Manager

Method 2
- Create a data disc image with the large package(s) in the root folder and split the ISO.
- Copy the split ISO files to USB x:/BDISO
- Mount the BD ISO image and install the files using Package Manager

Method 3
- Copy the large package(s) to an external NTFS disk drive
- Use IRISMAN to install the package
- The file will be copied to the internal HDD and you can install it from a bubble in Package Manager

Method 4
- Copy the large package(s) to PKG folder on an external NTFS disk drive
- Scan the files using prepISO
- Install the package from Bluray & DVD folder in webMAN MOD games

Method 5 (slow)
- Put your large package(s) in PKG folder of ps3netsrv on the PC
- Mount net0/PKG as /dev_bdvd
- Install the files using Package Manager

Method 6
- Use PSN store to re-download & install your games

@aldostools, is it possible to convert games like God of War Collection to PKG and split the PKG at 4GB ? I know it's possible with ISO .
Attention, this game already has files inside larger than 4GB .

No. The PKG only install complete files. If the game contains individual files larger than 4GB, at least one of the split packages will be that big.

You have to convert the game to retail (Bluray game), then create the ISO with split files if you want to use FAT32.

Other options are:
1. Copy the large PKG to NTFS or exFAT and install it using prepISO + webMAN MOD.
2. FTP the file to the internal HDD
3. PKG Linker 2.0 server to download and install the PKG from a PC
4. PKGi to download and install the file from PSN servers or a local server
5. Mount a remote PKG folder using ps3netsrv and install directly from the mounted /dev_bdvd
