From richdotward on Disney Epic Mickey 2 The Power of Two PS3: Got mickey working. Simple as change the .sfo file to 4.21 overwriting 4.25. Then just use your preferred eboot resigner and it works fine. No patch out. Resign the eboot.bin on the disk, change the .sfo to 4.21 and it works. Sorry not posting my patch. People better just get used to resigning things themselves. Took me 1 minute tops.

Here's mine. Rogero 4.21 internal, no bd mirror: http://www.4shared.com/rar/oMdWbShv/BLES01627_-_Epic_Mickey_2___42.html
