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.

where we have to place the sdk files please, ive got ubuntu on my virtual VMWare. And i have install YUM but i don't know hot to install rpm ect....

All your doing is making directories... and in this directories you install the ps3 unpacker etc... and if you know a lot about bash commands you should be able to do it quite easily, bash commands are exclusive to Macs and Linux, since I use both I know what he is talking about.

nice dude keep up the good work

First of all the Sony SDK is now a low price of $2k

Second of all it don't work like that

Why does Retop56 post something like that... he doesn't help he doesn't make suggestions and I bet he leaches stuff to other forums. I mean com'on man tell us somethings that you know, like tell us if you tried this etc, just don't sit there like a lump or fungi on a log man.

I have the ps3 sdk kit. On my ubuntu.

I have type "sudo apt-get install yum" for install yum.
I have install the ps3bodega.rpm.

But now when I type "ps3unpkgr -x patch.PKG". An error says : ps3unpkgr: command not found.

The ps3 sdk file and my patch.PKG are on the home folder.

Can you explain me where i have to deplace my files. Have I to install ps3 unpacker ? If yes can you tell me how please.

for one, if Sony found you doing this, you would be in some massive crap with them, so definately not worth it, unless you can make up the amount they will sue you for :p

Is it really necessary to curse?

probably not, it just adds an emotive effect on how bad it will be :p But for the sake of it being necessary, i edited it out
