C8: Final trip to the PS3

three minutes clapping

Moving the files to the console is not difficult at all, it just takes some time. Again, as I said at the beginning, you can use any file manager to move the files to the console; IRISMAN, through FTP (the most viable method if you don't have a large enough USB stick) or whichever method you choose. It's entirely up to you.

Regardless, let's get to it. I'll be assuming again you're using IRISMAN. with your stick plugged, enter IRISMAN and go to the File Manager (quick refresh: Start, X on Tools, X on File Manager). Open dev_usb000\Loadout on one side and dev_hdd0 on the other side.

ignore the fact that the cpk files are placeholders for the sake of demonstration

Your dev_hdd0 may differ from mine, that's okay. You can tell it's the right folder if it has folders like game, home, savedata, etc.

We now have to move p5ex from the Loadout folder to dev_hdd0. To do so, hover over p5ex and press Triangle, then press X on Move (or Copy, up to you), confirm the operation and wait a couple seconds. It should look like this.

Okay, now we have the move the other files. Go to the folder containing the game. A reminder straight from Chapter 1.

  • If you have the dumped version (folder), the game will be on the GAMES folder, as either BLUS31604 or BLES02247, for America and Europe, respectively. You probably will see a PS3_GAME folder there, enter it.

  • If you have the PSN version of the game, go to the game folder, then search for a folder that's named either NPUB31848 or NPEB02436, depending on the region of your game.

Now, enter the USRDIR folder.

We're going to move all of the files inside the Loadout folder to \gamefolder\USRDIR. To do so, press Square on each item from the folder to select it. Like this.

Alright, now press Triangle and either Move or Copy the files here. This will take quite a while, because the files are very large. But, whenever it's done, so are you, because that was the last thing we had to do. Check that your USRDIR folder has all the files we just transferred. Use these screenshots as a reference.

If it does, we're done here. Go to the next chapter, since we have to check that everything is working.
