Install Package Files Ps3 Without Jailbreak
This guide is not complete yet considering what I want to cover. It's currently explaining how to setup multiMAN and how to use the game manager.I'll add the other part of multiMAN little by little when I have the time.The purpose of this guide is to explain how everything is working, why doing something instead of another, explaining what the user have to do instead of telling him 'do it blindly'.Maybe I'm writing too much text, but I like explaining things correctly so newbie can understand what they are doing instead of following a guide like a lemming's instruction.I hope you will appreciate the work I put into it and find it useful. MultiMAN beginner's guide Developed by: DeanOfficial release forum:Old release forum:Official Website:Also Known As: Multi Manager, AVCHD/Game manager/File manager (old name).Tutorial by Cyan, for GBATemp.net.
Please ask me before using it or part of it on another website.Last updated on 2013-03-03 (added version compatibility with PS3 firmware)This tutorial cover only some functionalities up to: v02.02.00.Disclaimer:This is a 'starter guide' based on multiMAN 2.x to understand how the manager is working. MultiMAN has been updated and improved a lot of times since this guide (now at version 4.x), some menus might be different or fully missing. I hope you will understand how to 'translate' the guide's content to the new multiMAN versions.Compatible versions:multiMAN 4.19 = latest version compatible with 3.41multiMAN 4.20 = supports only 3.55 CEX/DEX/4.21 CEX/DEX/4.30 CEX/4.31 CEXmultiMAN 5.0+ = 4.30+ CEX.
IMPORTANT - Things you must NOT DO in any cases.1- Do not move or delete the 'devhdd0/GAME' folder or any of it's content in your internal Hard Disk Drive. This folder, used by the Playstation 3, contains important files like all your installed game's data.2- Do not accept any update, from the console, the network or the original games. If you want to play a game which require an update, you need to dump the game to HDD and use multiMAN to launch the game. Not all games are compatible with Custom Firmwares, so you need to refer to first. If you update your console, you will loose all your hacks!Tutorial Contents & Index:.Red= Chapter not written yet. SorryFeel free to ask on this thread for help, I'll answer uncovered chapter's questions individually. MultiMAN is compatible with any PS3 from firmware 3.4x to firmware 3.55 supporting execution of unsigned homebrew.Previous multiMAN versions were also compatible with older PS3 firmwares, like 3.10 or 3.15.If your PS3 has an old firmware, for example to keep OtherOS, you can download multiMAN v01.16.11 (latest compatible version as of this writing).MultiMAN distribution can be found in different formats:.
BASE: This package includes all the minimum necessary files to use multiMAN. Use this package if you are updating, or if this is your first installation.
FULL: Same as the BASE, but include all the game's covers. MEGA: Same as the FULL, but also include a lot of different Themes. UPDATE: This package is released when there are little changes, for testers only.
The package includes only the modified files, so you need the previous complete version already installed before installing any UPDATE version. Extract the downloaded archives to your computer.Fig1. The extracted archive.
In the folder, you will find:. BDrom-reset: Unmount the virtual Blu-ray drive from memory to restore real blu-ray disc playback on XMB(tm). multiMANLast Game: This homebrew is a shortcut to reload the last played game without launching multiMAN. In the archive, there is one for firmware 3.4x and one for 3.55. multiMAN v2.xx.xx BASE (date and time).pkg: This is the main multiMAN installation package for your PS3. optiondefault.ini: The file containing the paths preferences for multiMAN. Launch your PS3 in jailbreak mode.
(Either with dongles or custom firmwares).Step 2. Plug your USB drive into your PS3 (any USB slot, they are all working the same way) and go into the '★ Install Package Files' menu under the 'Games' column of your XMB(tm).Step 3.
Select MultiMan v2.xx.xx and press to install the package to your internal HDD.Once done, proceed with BDEMU or Lv2 Patcher if you need it.Optionally, you can now install LastGame.All these files are now installed in your PS3 internal HDD, press to go back to XMB(tm).Step 4. Select the multiMAN icon under the 'Game' columns and press to launch the homebrew. Chap.
2.4 - Updating multiMAN. To update multiMAN you don't need to delete the currently installed/old version from your PS3. Install the new version over the old one.You can update multiMAN manually or use the included update menu from multiMAN.Manual: Follow the procedure from the.multiMAN:Step 1. Ensure that you have a working internet connexion for your PS3. (Don't use a proxy, multiMAN won't detect a working internet connexion)Step 2. Enter multiMAN main settings by pressing, or go to the 'Home' column in the XMMB layout.Step 3.
Select the 'Update' menu and let multiMAN download the new package.The downloaded file is stored in /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/TEMP/Step 4. When prompted, accept to exit multiMAN to return to XMB(tm) and install the pkg from the '★ Install Package Files' menu under the 'Games' column of your XMB(tm).If you don't exit multiMAN when prompted, the path containing the downloaded.pkg won't be set in the PS3 memory as a correct installable path and your.pkg won't be listed in the '★ Install Package Files' menu on your XMB(tm).Use the mode to manually move the downloaded.pkg file from the TEMP folder to the root of your USB device if needed.Information: When updating, your old optionsdefault.ini is overwritten with the new one.

On the first launch, or after an update, multiMAN will show you three License and Warning screens.Select yes to each of the screens to accept the license agreements and load the main screen.Information: At the loading screen, multiMAN is putting new game's icons, game's background image, and different other files in a cache folder to speed up the process when navigating in the interface.The cached files can be deleted manually if needed.MultiMAN has 9 different screen layouts (or Display modes): 8 for games and medias, 1 for File's manager.Press or to scroll through the display modes. Display mode 9 - XMMB (XMB(tm) clone) (Default mode)Informations:- Display mode 6 (the File manager) is no longer part of the display mode list, to access it press Select+Start or select 'File Manager' in the Home column of the XMMB Display mode 9.- The default display mode (the one loaded at launch) can be changed in the.If this is your first time using a game manager, you won't have any game listed except your Blu-ray disc. ► Update: If your PS3 has a working internet connection, you can check and download new multiMAN released.► Refresh List: Re-Scan internal and external hard disk drives to reload new content.► File Manager: Switch to the File Manager mode.
You can press Select+Start too.► Launch Showtime: Launch the internal version of Showtime media player. To quit Showtime, select the exit icon on the top-right corner.► PFS / NTFS Driver: Switch between FAT32 and NTFS mounting method for the external HDD. You need to first.► Link VIDEO to Showtime: Creates links of your video files present on your XMB(tm) into a video folder to be readable while using Showtime.► Screenshot: Takes a screenshot of the current Mode. You can use Start+ to take a screenshot almost anytime. You can also use telnet to connect to your PS3 IP on port 8080, and send 'screenshot' command to capture any screen.Screenshots are saved on the root of the internal or external HDD. Use the file manager to copy the files to your external USB Drive if saved internally. The images are saved as RAW, use a compatible pictures viewer to load them (like gimp or Photoshop).► Screensaver: Launch a screensaver.
Sets whether to check titles on USB for compatibility.- Auto:???- Always: Always perform the check.- No: Don't check the folder content.This setting is used to scan the game's folder before launching it to detect if it contain split files.Setting this setting to Auto or Always allows you to name the folder without the starting underscore usually used to mark it as 'split game'.Set this setting to Auto or Always if you want multiMAN to reconstructed and cache the split files to the internal HDD. See the chapter for more informations. Scan for Homebrew Applications.
Change emulator type (payload). A system restart is required to apply the changes.- Unavailable: You will have this setting if you don't have BDEMU v2 installed or if you are using a dongle/cfw with a forced payload.- None: Don't load a payload in memory at multiMAN launch.- PSGroove (Syscall 35): Load the default PSGroove payload in memory.
(same as BDEMU v1)- Hermes (Syscall 8): Load Hermes Payload in memory (require BDEMU v2)Note: You need BDEMU v2 to activate this menu and unlock Hermes payload entry. Change interface language. Download a language file text, for example you can find the French language file LANGFR.TXT onStep 2. Place the LANGFR.TXT file on the root of your USB device and connect it to your PS3.Step 3. Go to the (Access it from multiMAN setting screen, or go to the Home column on the XMMB layout)Step 4. Copy the LANGFR.TXT file to /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USBDIR/lang/You should now have your file here: /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USBDIR/lang/LANGFR.TXT You can also use the to copy the file from your computer to the PS3.Language selectionNow you need to select the language used by multiMAN interface. Dumping a game will make a copy of your retail Game Disc to your internal or external HDD.The dump/backup process copy all the Game Disc's files and folders to the HDD, it doesn't create an iso. The speed is around 4GB for 10Minutes.multiMAN can only create a dump of a PS3 games.
You can't use multiMAN to dump DVD, Blur-Ray movie or PS2/PS3 game disc.Step 1. Insert your PS3 game disc in your console.Step 2. Select the game and enter the game's sub-menu by pressing, or if you are using the XMMB layout.Step 3.
Select the 'Backup / Copy' menu and press to start the backup process.When asked if you want to copy to internal, select yes.If you select no and you have a FAT32 USB drive connected, it will ask if you want to copy to external.Step 4. Just wait (10min for 45GB) until the backup process is done and press to go back to multiMAN game's sub-menu.If your game contains files bigger than 4GB, it will be stored on the external drive with split files and will appear in black & white on multiMAN. You need to copy the backup to your internal HDD in order to play the game.Update: v2.00.01 allows games with split files to be launched directly from the external HDD. See the chapter.Every PS3 games contain a 256MB firmware update files which is copied along the dump process. You can delete this file manually using the to save space on your HDD./devhdd0/GAMES/Game folder name/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUPusb:/GAMES/Game folder name/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP Chap. 3.4 - Copy/Move/Delete a game. You can make a copy from internal to external, and external to internal.You can't move a game, so you need to make a copy and then delete the one you don't want anymore.Step 1.
Select the game and enter the game's sub-menu by pressing, or if you are using the XMMB layout.Step 2. Select '► Backup / Copy' menu to make a copy to another device. (USB000, USB001, HDD), or '► Delete' menu to delete the game from its current location's device.When the copy or deletion process is done press to go back to multiMAN game layout. Chap. 3.5 - Playing a backup game. There's 2 different method to play a backup game.- Launch the game directly from the Game Manager.- Load the game in the PS3 memory and exit the game manager. Launch the game from the XMB(tm) as if it was a real game inserted in the blu-ray drive.The first one is known as 'Direct Boot', but have many inconveniences.First, it works only for very few games (less than 10%), so you will have to try yourself and see if it works.Secondly, the GameID of the game Manager (multiMAN ID is BLES80608) is used to check the updates, trophies and saves data.
If your game already has an update on the PS3 it won't be used.It's not recommended to use this mode, but some users are too lazy to go back to XMB(tm) (which takes 1.5 additional seconds) to boot the game, so this option is available if you want to use it.The second launching option is a 'mounting' method. It tricks the PS3 by placing game's backup folder path in memory instead of the one of the Blu-ray drive. Once done, the Game Manager exit itself to let you return to XMB(tm). You can't then launch the game by inserting a blu-ray game in the PS3, and the backup path will be read instead of the real inserted Blu-ray game.If you have a payload installed (dongle, cfw, BDEMU or Lv2 patcher), the '★ /apphome/PS3GAME/' menu will be patched and redirected to the game path, it will allows you to launch the game without inserting a game in the drive.A lot of games will work without a disc in the drive, but some games need a disc to make proper disc insertion checking. The best thing to do is to always leave a game disc inserted in the blu-ray drive.Mounting a game in memory.
Select one of the games layout from multiMAN available layouts. (Any layout except the file manager), eg:On every layout, you can see where the game you are selecting is located, internal HDD, USB or Blu-ray, along with the full backup folder's path.Step 2. Select the game you want to mount in memory and press.The manager will exit itself and the PS3 returns to XMB(tm).Step 3. In the 'Games' column on the XMB(tm), select the Disc icon to launch the mounted game.If you have a payload, you can launch the game from the '★ /apphome/PS3GAME/' menu.Direct Boot. To direct boot a game, you need to access the game's sub-menu options.Step 1. Select the game and enter the game's sub-menu by pressing, or if you are using the XMMB layout.Step 2.
Select the 'Direct boot' option on the bottom left and press to enable the option.Step 3. Press Start to launch the game from the sub-menu, or press to save and return to the game layout.The options are memorized for each games, you don't need to do it every time.Step 4. When you are on a game layout, press to launch the game.If the game is not compatible with the Direct boot it will reboot the PS3 or freeze to a black screen. If it's the case, return to the game's sub-menu and remove the 'direct Boot' option.Other game's options.
If you installed the 'multiMAN Last Game' package on your PS3, you can mount the last played game in memory without launching multiMAN interface.It's a multiMAN's shortcut to the 'mount' function to put the game in the PS3 memory.Last Game is not compatible with the ' BD Mirror' option.Step 1. After booting your PS3, launch the ' Last game' homebrew from your 'Games' column on the XMB(tm).Step 2. Wait until it returns to XMB(tm).Step 3. Launch the mounted game from the Disc icon. Chap. 3.7 - BD-rom Reset. If you installed the 'BDROM Reset.pkg' package on your PS3, you can un-mount the current loaded game from the memory.While a game is mounted, you can't use your Blu-ray drive to read the inserted disc as the blu-ray drive is mapped to another folder.Step 1. Launch BDROM Reset homebrew from the 'Games' column of the XMB(tm).When launching BDROM Reset homebrew, it will:.
Remove the path redirection to unload the current game in memory and give blu-ray drive access back. Clear BD Mirror by:. Unmount the emulated USB device (clear BD Mirror).
Remount the USB device as /devusb000x/. Remount the Blu-ray device as /devbdvd/. Move the PS3GAME folder located at the root of the USB drive back to its original game's folder. Chap.
3.8 - Updating games. You have 3 available methods to update your games. Let the PS3 check for new updates, download it and install it automatically when you launch the game from your XMB(tm). (You need internet access on your PS3).
Use multiMAN to check if there's an available update and select the one you want to download. (You need internet access on your PS3). Download the update files manually from your computer using a web-browser or a specific application.
(No internet access needed on your PS3)The first one is the official update method from the PS3, so I won't detail it. Just connect your PS3 to internet, launch your game and accept the update if prompted.Update a game using multiMAN's update function. MultiMAN can check if your game have an update available on Sony's update server.Step 1.
Verify that your PS3 have internet access. (XMB(tm)/Settings/network Settings)Step 2. Select the game you want to update and enter the game's sub-menu by pressing, or if you are using the XMMB layout.Step 3.
Select the '► Update' menu and pressIf the internet connection is detected, it will prompt you that one or more updates are available and will ask you if you want to download only the latest or all the available versions.Step 4. Select yes to start the download. The files will be stored in this path on your internal HDD: /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/PKG/Step 5.
When the download is completed, it will show you a screen with the path and filename and you will be prompted to quit to XMB(tm) right now.Select Yes and press.If you don't exit multiMAN when prompted, the path containing the uploaded.pkg won't be set in the PS3 memory as a correct installable path and your.pkg won't be listed in the '★ Install Package Files'.Use the mode to manually move the downloaded.pkg files from the PKG folder to the root of your USB device, then you can use the Installation menu from XMB(tm).Step 6. On the XMB(tm), go to the '★ Install package files' menu, select your update file and press to install the game update.Some games require that you install all the update in the released order, and other games only require the latest available update version only.To know if the game needs all the versions or not, you can launch the game with a working internet connection and accept the update process. It will show you the number of download needed. If it shows only one, then you need only the latest. You can then press to cancel the official update process.Update a game manually. To update a game manually, you will need to verify if a game has an update, download it and install it from the '★ Install package files' menu on the XMB(tm).There are different websites and applications available to do that.Step 1. Select and download your update using your preferred method:.
Websites:.: Enter the game ID and it will show you the available updates.: PSN-like graphical navigation. Also available directly from multiMAN website menu (most right on XMMB). Quit to XMB(tm) when asked, or copy the downloaded file from /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/DOWNLOADS to the root of your USB device.: Search by name.: Search by Game ID on all update servers.Applications:. Awesome Update Finder. PS3 Game List:, and. PS3 Game UpdaterStep 2.
Place the downloaded.pkg file to the root of your USB device.Step 3. Connect the USB device to your PS3 and go the '★ Install package files' menu on your XMB(tm), select the update you want to install and press.Some application's screenshots. Some games contain files bigger than 4GB, but you can't store these files on a drive formated as FAT32.To be able to transfer or dump a game to a FAT32 drive, the homebrew (Comgenie file Manager, Gaia Manager, multiMAN, etc.) are automatically splitting the big files into multiple 4GB files when copying or dumping a game to the external USB device. Games with big files are automatically split and reconstructed by multiMAN, but you can also use computer's applications to split or reconstruct the files.You can find few Windows applications to split and un-split game's files automatically on your computer to create a FAT32 compatible files version.(java), developed by Dean, multiMAN's author. Allow.666xx and.xx.part file extensions.The split files will be renamed with extension.666xx, where xx is part number.A game containing split files will have his folder's name renamed with a starting underscore, for example ' BLESxxxx - Gran Turismo 5', and will be shown in black and white in multiMAN.You can display these game's cover in color if you want by either deleting the underscore or setting an option in multiMAN.
Open split is written in Java and is so multiplatform.Step 1. Place your game's folder on an NTFS partition (you can't have a big file on a FAT32 partition).Step 2. Download and extract anywhere on your computer.Step 3.
Double click on the OpenSplit v1.2.jar file to launch it.Step 4. Click on the 3rd button if you want to keep the original BIG or split files instead of deleting them after the process. (You usually don't want to keep them).Step 5. Click on the button 'Split BIG files to.666xx' and select the game folder you need to split files from. For example 'X:gamesBCES-00569 - GT5'Step 6.
Wait until the process is complete and the application will rename the game folder with a starting underscore 'X:games BCES-00569 - GT5' if the game contains split files.Pro: The program automatically search for big files in all the folders and sub-folders. It Splits and reconstructs files.Cons: The program's window is very big and can't be resized, not a big problem though.Split4G. Split4G is an application developed by multiMAN's author.It allows the split of files in two different formats:.666xx.xx.partOnly.666xx is compatible with multiMAN.Step 1. Place your game folder on an NTFS partition (you can't have a big file on a FAT32 partition).Step 2. Download and extract anywhere on your computer.Step 3. Launch Split4G.exe and click on the first input field.
Select your game folder, for example For example 'X:gamesBCES-00569 - GT5'.Step 4. Click on the second input field and select the destination folder, for example 'X:games'.Step 5. Select the '666xx' format from the drop down menu and click on Start button.If you selected the destination folder where the original game folder is located, it will only create (add) the new split files. You will have to delete the big files manually.If you selected another folder, all the files will be copied to the new destination, so if you select your fat32 device as destination, the game will be copied directly with split files.Pro: Split4G can create/copy the game with split files directly to the FAT32 destination drive. You can select 666xx or xx.part files format.Cons: Split4G can't reconstruct split files to Big files. It doesn't delete the big files and doesn't add the underscore automatically when saved to the same folder?
(please let me know, I currently don't have a game with big files on my HDD to test).PS3spliter. To cache split files automatically, you will need at least multiMAN v2.00.01, and either BDEMU v2 or any jailbreak dongle method with Hermes v4 payload.Caching split files will only work with a Hermes syscall8 payload, so remember that if you are using a custom firmware with an included payload (for example Waninkoko cfw3.55), then multiMAN will not load BDEMU v2 because you already have a payload in memory.If you are using such a cfw, re-install Kmeaw cfw or any other cfw not including a native payload.
Go to multiMAN's Settings column on the XMMB layout.Step 2. Set the 'BD-ROM Emulator' option to 'Hermes (Syscall8)'.If you are not using BDEMU v2 you will only have 'Unavailable' as a choice. If you are not using a Dongle, you need to install BDEMU v2 to use this functionality.Step 3. Set the 'Verify USB Games' option set to 'Always' or 'Auto'.This is used to verify is the game you are loading contains split files even if the game folder name doesn't start with an underscore Step 4. IMPORTANT: REBOOT your PS3 nowYour PS3 is currently running with a patched memory set to syscall36 since you launched multiMAN with BD-ROM Emulator set to 'PSGroove (syscall36)'.If you run multiMAN without switching the power OFF, then it will detect an already patched memory and won't apply the new Hermes payload patch.Switch the power off to clear the memory.Step 5.
Reload multiMAN (now the PS3 memory will be patched with Hermes Syscall8)Step 6. Launch a game with split files and multiMAN will reconstruct and cache the split files into the internal HDD before mounting the game and will exit to XMB.The cache files will be stored in this folder: /devhdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/gamecache/TITLEID/Info: You can store up to 10 reconstructed files per games.Step 7. If the big files have a.psarc file extension, then they are Playstation Archives files and can be extracted like a.zip or.rar.If the files have another file extension, use the split method.This program require.Net framework 4.0Step 1. Download and extract.Step 2. Search files bigger than 4GB from all your game's folders and sub-folders, and copy the files to the PSARC extractor folder.Step 3. Drag and drop the bigfile.PSARC into PSARC.exeNote: Sometime the program is not working.
Maybe a bad Net framework version, or the file is not compatible.Step 4. When the process is complete, you will have a new folder named after the archive filename.Go into that folder and copy/move all the content into your game's folder, at the location of the bigfile, and delete the bigfile.PSARC(replace the big file with the extracted content, don't copy the created folder but only its content).Step 5. Place your game on a FAT32 USB device and load the game with multiMAN.Some games request the '.PSARC' file instead of the file's content. (for example to install the game data to HDD on the first launch).If it's the case, you can try to place the game with all the big files on internal first, let the game install the game's data when launching it for the first time, then delete the game from your internal HDD and use the game with its big files replaced by the extracted archive on your external USB device.. There are 3 possible causes which will give you a black screen at launch.The first one is a common issue:If you already played the game from a retail original Blu-ray disc and your game created a Game Data (Game installation on HDD, Updates, etc.), you need to delete them and let the game mounted in memory from the game Manager recreate the data.Step 1. In the manager, mount the game you want to play with and return to XMB(tm) (Do not use Direct boot).Step 2.
Go to the 'Game Data' menu in the Games column and locate the installed game's data. Press and choose Delete from the menu.Verify that you don't have more than 1 Game data icon for that game.Step 3. Go back to the Game menu and launch the game mounted in memory from the Disc icon or the '★ /apphome/PS3GAME/' menu.Note: You need to delete the Game's data only if the last time you played the game you used a retail Disc. Do not delete the Game's data every time. Black Screen at game launch - 2 - Files permission. This issue is due to incorrect file's permission while copying the games from external to internal using the PL3 payload, or when using the FTP method to transfer the files.Some FTP homebrew can't set the CHMOD files permissions (read, write, execute), so the files are not set to allow the game execution.You can fix the permission from the game's sub-menu option in multiMAN.Step 1. Select your game and enter its sub-menu by pressing, or if you are using the XMMB layout.Step 2.
Select the '► Permissions' menu on the right and press.Wait until the process is completed. You can now launch your game the usual way.Note: The fix permission is needed only once. Black Screen at game launch - 3 - The Black Screen Games. Some games are called 'Black Screen Games' because they just stop on a black screen when you launching and no other fixing method are working.These games need to be placed on the external drive and require a specific setting called 'Blu-Ray mirror'.The external USB drive is then mounted as if it was a real blu-ray drive. This is like a virtual drive mounter, or a blu-ray drive emulation on USB.This mode needs a PS3 game disc inserted in your blu-ray disc drive. No payload, Lv2 Patcher or BDEMU.bin are needed for BD-mirror to works.These games are not compatible with the 'Direct boot' method, they need to be launched from the real PS3 XMB(tm).Step 1. Go to the game's sub-menu by pressing on a game, or if you are using XMMB layout.Click to see the boot optionsStep 2. Place the cursor on 'BD mirror' and press.
You can also check the 'External' and 'Disc' memo and on the left.The memos are used to give you an alert if you try to launch the game from the internal HDD, or if you mount the game without a disc in the drive.Step 3. To play the game, select a game layout and press on the game, or open the sub-menu of that game with and press Start button.Step 4. Once the PS3 it back to his real XMB(tm), insert a PS3 Game disc in your drive if you didn't yet, and launch the game from the Game Disc icon.Do not use the '★ /apphome/PS3GAME/' menu, the BD mirror option doesn't use a payload to patch the game path but instead it re-maps the USB device as the PS3 Blu-ray device.You can activate the BD-mirror option without going into the game's sub-menu by pressing the Select+ combination shortcut. The option is applied and saved automatically in the sub-menu, the game is mounted in memory and the PS3 returns to XMB(tm).A list of can be found on WikiTemp. Games requiring a newer firmware - Eboot mod. The games requiring a newer firmware than the one you are currently using can be played by decrypting and re-encrypt the game (eboot.bin) with a 3.55 or lower firmware keys.The decryption can be done with the EBOOTFIX tool included in multiMAN's archive. To decrypt the files you first need to place your backup game, or at least the eboot.bin, on your computer.Sometime, decrypting the eboot.bin (game executable) is enough, but it's better to decrypt all the game files.Decrypting only eboot.bin:Step 1.
On PS3, if your game is on internal HDD, copy your game's eboot.bin file to your external USB drive using the or use the included with multiMAN to transfer eboot.bin to your computer.Step 2. Extract multiMANEBOOTFIX.rar to any folder on your computer.Step 3.
Drag and drop your eboot.bin file into ebootmod.exe, a new MODIFIEDeboot.bin file will be created in the folder where your eboot.bin is located.Step 4. Rename eboot.bin to eboot.bak and MODIFIEDeboot.bin to eboot.binStep 5. If your game is on internal HDD, replace the old eboot.bin file in your PS3GAME/USRDIR/ folder with the new modified eboot.bin file using the file manager or the FTP server.Decrypting all the files (If eboot.bin alone is not enough):Step 1.
On PS3, if your game is on internal HDD, copy your game to your external USB drive. Once done, connect your USB drive to your computer.Step 2.
Extract multiMANEBOOTFIX.rar to any folder on your computer.Step 3. Drag and drop your game's folder (PS3GAME) into ebootfix.exe and wait until the process is complete and the command window is closed. You will now have 2 new folders named after the game's name, one containing 'NPDRM' and one with 'RETAIL'.→ →Step 4.
