(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay So I have been up for ages trying to do this with different patches but it is failing, I have converted them to xbox, edited them and then converted them back to PS3 and then converted that to 683 (my region) and uploaded it to my ps3 and data transfered.

When I then get on to mw2 mutliplayer it just all goes black. The size of the patch is smaller than the original patch, All I did was edit some say commands.
It has nothing to do with the update, any other unedited by me patch works fine.

Can someone help me? It's pissing me off, thanks Needa

well my mind was on W@W, sorry haha, you could just as easily pirate MW2 and update it so your patch would work with the update though...

thats not my problem, my 3.55 is on 1.13 already and i dont mind transfering every time i edit, takes like a minute. my prob is that my own edited / new patches give me blackscree, other peoples patches don't.

There seems to be some seriously incorrect/inaccurate comments here.

You cannot use FFViewer effectively to edit PS3 patches because FFViewer is designed solely to edit Xbox360 patches. It can be used for PS3 patches, but in a very limited capacity and is prone to errors.

Converting from PS3 to Xbox and then from Xbox back to Ps3 often does not work correctly and results in the patch_mp.ff file being too small and causes a black screen.

I am not sure if this is due to .zone mods that some people are mentioning, but it seems unlikely to be the sole cause of the problem to me.

If you can provide full replication steps, someone may be able to assist you properly.

For example;
1) Convert PS3 patch_mp.ff to Xbox360 using (Insert name of converter here)

2) I then edit the patch_mp.ff using (Insert name of editor you are using)

3) I then save the editted patch_mp.ff and convert it back to PS3 using (Insert name of converter here).

The more detail you can provide, the more assistance people will be able to give.

It wasn't really meant to help believe it or not. It was intended more as a request for additional information and pointing out the incorrect pieces of information already posted here

The following user groaned spudeeelad for this awful post:

Nope, I have no idea in all honest. But it's nothing to do with that anyway. I was merely stating that if you want accurate help then you need to give accurate information. I could have helped you, if you had provided more information, but since there are so many unknowns in your question, I am not going to sit here trying to guess exactly how you're going about converting your patches. But whatever
