So how can I put this game save on my external HDD, and get her to boot it up. Do I copy the game to the external, and change it to a FAT? Still confused on how the external actually works while running games via that, instead of my PS3 internal. It's slow. :megusta:
All help is greatly appreciated, and a +rep will be given. :y:

To quote: Due to FAT32 limitations users needed to run these games from internal hard drive only. However, it seems that isn't the only option anymore. Many games utilize a file format known as PSARC (*.psarc).
These files ending in .psarc are archive files similar to zip or rar files on PC. By extracting these large archive files and using the smaller files that are inside, users can get stay under the 4GB limit.
This method has been tested on Uncharted II, and will only work on games utilizing the psarc file format.
1) Download PSARC.zip PlayStation Archive Utility (or the PARC GUI v0.1 or the PARC GUI v0.2 update by TeamKidneyBean if you prefer).
2) Extract zlib.net.dll and PSARC.exe to any folder.
3) Find any files more than 4Gb for example /PS3_GAME/USRDIR/build/main/pak22.psarc (5,596,444,529 bytes)
4) Copy pak22.psarc into zlib.net.dll and PSARC.exe directory.
5) Extract pak22.psarc (just drag-n-drop pak22.psarc to PSARC.exe)
6) Now copy pak22 folder with extracted files to gamefolder /PS3_GAME/USRDIR/build/main
7) Now you can delete pak22.psarc.

Copy PS3_GAME folder with game to your external fat32 usb hdd GAMEZ/Uncharted2/
9) Use Backup Manager to load game, should work fine.

also Quoted - Clutch Hunter, "This right here is why I always recommend copying to internal via FTP, but if you're intent on playing it externally you're going to need to split the large file(s) using a PS3 splitting program, using file-type ".666". When you place these files on the drive alongside everything else, Multiman should detect them as split and play them. Be warned though split files are a real hassle and lots of problems have been reported with playing externally"
