204w ago - OK, do you remember the OLD
PS3 Backup Tool? I've updated it, and now you can successfully write mixed backups on your PS3.
The new method mixes not all parts like before, but only half. Doing so, the PS3 recognizes the backup and restore, not only the "Integral" part, but even the part (50%) you added.
So the new formula is:
archive.dat + archive_XX.dat = INJECTOR
archive2.dat + archive2_XX.dat = DATA TO WRITE
You need the INJECTOR to begin the Write process. If you don't add Archive2.dat to your backup the PS3 writes the INJECTOR only. You need to create yourself the INJECTOR, in fact, it's unique for backups. If you have an old INJECTOR you can use it.
Here's a video demonstrating the process, with a guide below:
== HOW TO ==
1) Switch on your PS3
2) Go to Settings -> System Settings -> Backup
3) Connect a USB Drive or a Memory Stick to PS3
4) Select it in Backup utility
5) Make a Backup
6) Copy it to your Desktop
7) Delete backup from the USB Device or Memory Stick
8) Connect it to the PS3
9) Delete something in your PS3 (To make backup smaller)
10) Backup again and copy the 2nd backup to your desktop
11) Delete backup from the USB Device or Memory Stick
Now you have 2 different backups on your desktop.
1) Copy
archive2.dat and
archive2_00.dat from the bigger backup to the smaller one (see picture below).
2) Copy the Mixed (Bigger + Smaller) backup to a USB Drive or Memory Stick in:
X:/PS3/EXPORT/BACKUP/XXXXXXXXXXXX/
(
XXXXXXXXXXXX is the number of your backup)
3) Restore the Mixed backup from your PS3 (Go to Settings -> System Settings -> Backup -> Restore)
4) Once restore is complete, your PS3 has the files from the two Backup in HDD.
That means the PS3 writes files in the HDD, even if the backup is mixed with another. That can be useful in further hacking when you need to write a file in a directory, for example the Game directory.
100% Working (

1] make a backup with the game from psn
2] change password
3] publish the backup
It could work by allowing a certain number of installations per account, but what if it is already installed? unless you are absolutely certain through your testing of how it works then you need to test it first.
This of course then means, why would you wanna share your Archive (backup) data, when you could just temp share your psn login to allow your 'mate' to download your psn games..
The only good thing would be if you could alter the game included in the Archive to change the Owner of the content. This won't work at present because it would need to be re-signed by Sony.
Exactly, If you purchase something of PSN it is connected to your account and your account only, restoring a backup of it to another PS3 will not work since it will require the original purchasers account to be apparent on the console.
Thats the backup i made. Interesting point about the registering issue, i was wondering about that as well. Might as well try with a bought game... Maybe an owner is only needed to install the game (decrypt/extract the pkg) and having the files installed in a backup already bypasses that.
