To quote from PSGroove: He has managed to run Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from his internal hard drive, while on Geohot's 3.55 Custom Firmware. He achieved this by patching the game's main executable file (EBOOT.BIN) and making the PS3 think it's a PSN game.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (BLES01047) signed&packed EBOOT (33.5MB)
Downlaods:
Thing You will Need:
- Compatible Dongle.
- PS3.
- CFW Firmware.
- Computer/PC
- Brain.
[multipage=*Full Tutorial*]
1) Install PKG file.
2) Transfer contents of USRDIR folder, EXCEPT EBOOT.BIN, to /devhdd0/game/BLES01047/USRDIR/
Thats all! Tested! The game will work from XMB on retail nonJB 3.41, 3.55 and future versions.
OK, here's the guide to patch your own games:
1) Download and compile You must login or register to view this content. tools from git.fail0verflow.com Git (old versions of unself produce incorrect ELF)
2) Extract ELF from SELF
3) Hexedit ELF, find and replace dev_bdvd to correct path on dev_hdd0 (not all, but most games require this step)
4) Build NPDRM SELF using Geohot's tools
5) Build package using psn_package_npdrm
6) Patch your builded package using Geohot's tool (only for 3.55 firmware)
That's it. If you can't follow this guide, more detailed guide won't help you.
This also works from 3.41, with no jailbreak dongle, video Next Page. (courtesy of TheRuler):

i dont get that bit either. i was thinking the same thing that its the same folder. i cant find another USRDIR folder anywhere. i wonder if it means just from another game just not the eboot part.
