Guide: How to Run PS3 Games with 4+GB Files from External HDD

[shummyr]

Nice Guide and it's nicely documented guys

This only works for games that look outside their archives for files. Some games will still not work even if they use psarc files if they are not coded to look outside the archive.

Ps this tool was taken from xentax.com.

i just extracted hawx 2 : "BLUS30488\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\install.psarc"

and it gave me 2 folders i tried placing those 2 folders on the root of the install.psarc

"BLUS30488\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\install\installdata " and "BLUS30488\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\install\installsysd ata"

archive i could play but i got no sound, tried this way:

"BLUS30488\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\installdata" and "BLUS30488\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\installsysdata"

no sound either.. which way should i place them? what am i doing wrong?

[chrrox]

hard to know, you can try to look for some references to those sound files in other files to figure out the correct path.

Use PASARC tool on levels.psarc, will extract \levels\FM\PS3\LEVELS

add the LEVELS folder to BLES00788\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\FM\PS3
