no, it's not

i am not asking where i should download the games, i am saying where i should copy the files on PS3 in order to play that game,

it doesn't have to be for piracy, for example if ripped the PS3 game using your PC, you will have the game files.

Sure, because you can rip a PS3 game with your PC... Use multiman to copy the game disc, it will put files in the correct directory.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but can this be used to dual boot without an e3 flasher?
I already have a dual boot setup, but it requires me to install dual boot ofw and cfw every time I want to switch before I swap my hdd's over. (I'm not using this when I'm already on cfw, just asking about it first, I do read lol)

As far as I understand there is a way to swap the hdd's and the corresponding firmware would just boot when the cfw or ofw hdd was put in the console using the flasher, because it writes to NOR to match the firmware with the hdd or something like that.

I could be totally wrong on that since I'm not too educated on the ps3 scene (have some homebrew, softmod my 3.55, not much else), so sorry if I sound like a noob at this point.

I used the OFW from the link provided by OP and updated through Storage Media, now I got all my purchased content and will try cfw after backing up.

I was able to go back to OFW, then I did the hack and could install CFW once more.

Nice, I hope to get there, I bought two dualshock3 controllers for $10 and $5 one was faulty but I thought it was a good deal. Im currently washing the shells and trying the exploit.

Alright fellow Tempers. I have been stuck on the following screen for about 10 minutes. Seems frozen. I was just wondering how much longer it could take. Also, is it safe to turn off the PS3 while on this screen, in an attempt to retry?

Do you see those menu waves moving in the background? If they are NOT moving then it's safe to turn it off.

it doesn't have to be for piracy, for example if ripped the PS3 game using your PC, you will have the game files.

Make a folder on your PS3 HDD over Wifi. Copy the games into that directory. You can feel free to delete the Update folder inside the game to save space.

Webman or Multiman should detect the game and allow you to load it.

 

[zeveroth]

Sorry I didn't add the picture before. OK, well I don't see them so I'll try again. Thank you.

 

[JiveTheTurkey]

Hey guys I've been having trouble using the exploit all day and now when I try to load the page it gives me a 404 error. Is it no longer available?
EDIT: Nevermind. I retyped and got the page loaded.

Dumpers for older firmwares have been added if you would like to use them for whatever reason

question, i've downloaded a game from other site but it's not .pkg version nor .iso
it's like the folder of the game and inside it all the files and DLC, where should i copy the files?

dev_hdd0/games/ <-- this is the main folder where you place your games.
Attention, do not use the "game" folder (not plural), as it's the one used by the console to store the savegames and updates.


So, for example :
dev_hdd0/games/your game title whatever you want/PS3_GAME/
dev_hdd0/games/your game title whatever you want/PS3_DISC.SFB

You can delete the "UPDATE" folder, it's not used at all. it contains the PS3 firmware used to update the console in case your console is not up to date.

The DLC, I don't remember if they are on the form of a folder.
maybe inside there's a pkg for you to install? or rap file ?
Often, games were released with a "nfo" containing ... info ! it explains how/where to install. though, some games were released back when only old firmwares were compatible, and newer games needed patches to work. don't try the patches, they probably are not needed as you are now on latest firmware version. the game should work without a trick to firmware version.


the "games" folder can be on internal, or external.
it could even be named "gamez" in the past and I'm sure it's still compatible. this way, it's easy to differentiate the "gamez" you add yourself (think warez?) from the "game" official folder you should not touch/edit/delete.
I wrote a guide to use MultiMAN. it's old, and written with MM v2.0 only, so things changed since I wrote it but a lot of information are useful if you want to understand how the program works and where to put files.
see PS3 guide section.

thanks a lot for this info, the game i've downloaded says it contain all the DLC, so the DLCs are inside the PS3_GAME folder?
i tried to search for them inside the game folder but i can't find any clue, maybe they are embedded inside the game?

If there's no extra files included in your download, the DLC could presumably be pre-applied.

I've decided to replace the thermal paste on my Slim, for no reason other than the fact that I can and it seems like a good idea. Had to buy a set of torx security screwdrivers, I already bought a torx T-8 not realising that T-8 Security is a different thing. Bah.
