From IRC (ps3patchr was Mibbit AT host.7.202.broadband.redcom.ru):

[ps3patchr] time to shake sht up
[ps3patchr] pastie.org/private/rnta936xjojxuhqhrknzqg
[ps3patchr] have fun
[ps3patchr] in advance ... the only issue you may have is that after installing the pkg's you will be asked to update (if you are not spoofed)
[ps3patchr] don't update
[ps3patchr] rebuild disk db
[ps3patchr] its mentioned in one of the readme files
[ps3patchr] well rebuild after updating the PARAM.SFO
[[A]KangB] oh! what a shtty method to patch VERSION on SFO
[ps3patchr] if someone else cares to rebuild the pkg's ... well thats for someone else
* ps3patchr did all the heavy lifting already ..

From CaptainCPS-X: There is no need to rebuild the PS3 database or anything, I just tested my PKGs before uploading.

1 – Download and install the demo from: DEMO -> UP2026-NPUB30741_00-WD1010000000GAME.pkg (473 MB)

2 – Download and install one of these PKGs depending on what version you prefer (no need to install both, you can just install the latest):

UPDATE 1 -> FIX_340+_UP2026-NPUB30741_00-WD101000001PATCH-A0101-V0101-PE.pkg (20 MB)
UPDATE 2 -> FIX_340+_UP2026-NPUB30741_00-WD101000002PATCH-A0102-V0100-PE.pkg (17 MB}

NOTE: For those who think this will make the “Demo” a “Full Game”, this is not it. The patch is to allow the Demo to be played in lower firmwares from 3.40+.

From IRC:

[Anon] Something to mention is that those pkgs when downloaded from $0ny either need modification of the PARAM.SFO inside, or the HD db needs to be rebuilt once the PARAM.SFO is updated.
[Anon] not much can be done about that without releasing the full pkgs
[Anon] which is not for me to do.
[Anon] there are tools for that already
[Hellsing9] hdd encryption?
[Anon] nah any tool that allows modifying a pkg, just need to replace the PARAM.SFO inside the pkg
[Anon] or use spoofing.
[Anon] when the pkg is installed the PARAM.SFO is used to create the db entry for the title
[Anon] so if you install the sony pkg with the normal PARAM.SFO it will insist you need 4.xx firmware to run the title
[Anon] modifying the PARAM.SFO after installation will not be reflected until the HD db is rebuilt from the service menu
[Anon] spoofing gets around that.
[Hellsing9] cool
[Anon] they need to backup files
[Anon] preferable that person has spoofing.

From CaptainCPS-X: When you "manually" install those "patched" files (EBOOT.BIN, PARAM.SFO) you will need to rebuild the PS3 Database via Recovery Menu for example, for the changes to take effect (I never had to rebuild DB because of what I will explain later).

What I been doing is:

• download the "official" PKG using AldosTools Updater (aldostools.org/ps3tools.html)
  
• extract its content into a new directory
  
• replace the original EBOOT.BIN + PARAM.SFO
  
• repack using AldosTools Shell Extension
  
• Install new PKG
  
• Play!... no need to rebuild PS3 database
  

That is what he is saying on that chat quote, we still need the patched files, he didn't say how he patched the EBOOT.BIN and PARAM.SFO. The system will not magically patch them just by replacing the PARAM.SFO.
