I have been waiting for something like this to come along. I'll have to take a look and see what happens.

[RushCoil]

Real'y not working at all... It says cannot find my eboot.bin at usdir...

[raphael4]

Nice, something I've been waiting for. Maybe I'll finally get MGS4 working from a hard-drive.

[gtorresini]

When I try to install the .pkg, it says "A later version is already installed. There is no need to install this version."

Btw, I'm running this with Heavy Rain with it's 2.0 update. It's IMPOSSIBLE to run this game without this update in my system, cause it crashes when I load a game.

[Kiriller]

sorry i don't quite follow, what is the use of this app? quick explanation from someone would be great, thanks!

[cdubb9800]

i guess it worked the two games i did didnt work but that's manually and with this app looks legit.

[thewarlock]

Real'y not working at all... It says cannot find my eboot.bin at usdir...

Same thing here no EBOOT.BIN finded.

[Tatsh2DX]

This is almost as cool as ISO2GoD for JTAG 360s. Exactly what I had hoped to come eventually.

[kmjansen83]

Will this ever work for use on external hdd, i guess this is for internal hdd use only?
