You need a root account in Linux for this! I used Ubuntu 10.04. The SDK is for Windows as well, but there's no readme for the files. So I set up VMWare with Ubuntu so I can use Linux inside Windows.

For Linux:
In Ubuntu, Fedora, Yellow Dog, etc, type "sudo apt-get install yum" in Terminal.
Type in your root password.
Now, look for a repository with PS3 binaries. You can get some from PS3Bodega.
You need the PS3 SDK kit as well, the full one. You can't get the full 600MB one from pretty much anywhere unless you search. I can't give a link since it's not allowed.
With yum and the RPM installed, now you can just type "yum ps3unpkgr" in Terminal instead of code editing.
When you get the SDK and install the binaries (the RPM is right there), you can use "ps3unpkgr -x <PKG name>" and unpack everything.
To pack it into a PKG again, use "ps3unpkgr -c <PKG name>" and it will pack.
I'm not going to sit and explain everything so thoroughly if you don't know how to do it. If you really are wanting more, reach me another way.

To do this in Windows:
Download the PS3 SDK.
Go into the "host-win32" folder.
Go into "bin."
In Command Prompt, drag "make_package_npdrm.exe" into the prompt, and use -x <PKG name> to decompress. Use -c <PKG name> to compress.
This unpacker will only work for certain PKGs! Luckily, the patch falls under this category.

It is to host the full one, but I have it.

If it's illegal, you can post it only for information. If a user download it, he will assume its responsibilities when he download it.

Just sayin michael I could host files on my web server that I no longer use. I think that would be better than waiting 40 + seconds for file downloads. Just offering my service to NGU.

What patch are you talking about? I expect a working Mw2 mod by the end of July or mid August. Smile

Super :pedo:

I think that all users of this part of forum are waiting only the modded patch of Mw2. We need only a complete tutorial.

Hell if all they want to learn to mod the actual patch itself they can look at the sticky, or learn C++ it is not that hard they just need to apply themselves. Ounce we figure out how to get into the patch modding it will be easy.
