1.Open the archive GAME_CONVERT.zip with any archiver and extract the folder GAME_CONVERT packed inside, containing the script CONVERT.BAT and the utility make_npdata.exe, at any place convenient for you, preferably closer to the root of the disk.
(the path to the folder should NOT be long, contain Cyrillic characters and other characters like! @ & () "/ [\]:; | =,)
2.If you downloaded the game to ISO, you need to extract the PS3_GAME folder to the GAME_CONVERT folder using
PS3-ISO-Rebuilder.
In the end, you should have this:
3.Go to the
PS3_GAME folder and check for the presence of the
LICDIR folder with the file
LIC.DAT in it, if this is not the case, then you need to prepare it yourself. Create a folder
LICDIR and generate in it a file
LIC.DAT with the game code from PARAM.SFO by any of the methods below:
4.It's time to unpack the UPDATE patch. We, in principle, need only the very first patch, and the rest, if any, will be installed during the update check on the PS3. To unpack (* .pkg) always use the PS3PKG GUI (included in the "
PS3 Tools Collection").
Keep in mind that patches from the US region will not fit the EU region of the game or vice versa, without any special tricks.
5.For example, all patches should have approximately the same original name and they are extracted into folders with the same names:
- EP0700-BLES01765_00-PATCH20121115MAS-A0107-V0100-PE_fw0.00.pkg - патч версии 1.07
- EP0700-BLES01765_00-PATCH20121115MAS-A0108-V0100-PE_fw0.00.pkg - патч версии 1.08
- EP0700-BLES01765_00-PATCH20121115MAS-A0109-V0100-PE_fw0.00.pkg - патч версии 1.09
6.In these folders you will find a subfolder called the Game TitleID, like
BLES01765. We need only one patch, the very first. But, if the patch is not one and you strongly wish to merge them all at once on your computer, then you need to merge them one by one into one folder, updating the files of the smaller version of the older version, agreeing to replace, that is, update the folder
BLES01765 with the patch v1.07
BLES01765 patch v1.08, then the folder
BLES01765 patch v1.09 and so on. Then we cut out the common folder
BLES01765 to the root of our folder GAME_CONVERT, and delete the old folder. As a result, you should have something like this:
7.
We start
CONVERT.BAT, we wait ...
After the script is completed, a ready-made folder with the game will appear next to other files.
Something like this should look like ready-made game folders and patch
