You copy games to "dev_hdd0/GAMES" folder.

Once you update the game, "dev_hdd0/game" folder is created.


Sprx files go into "dev_hdd0/tmp" while the eboot that goes with it goes in "dev_hdd0/game/BLES01807/USRDIR/


You can use Filezilla to access your ps3 hdd and transfer files.

The reason its in GAMES folder is that you did your updates through mmcm ..makes no difference ..you will still have a USDIR folder in there to put your EBOOT

That's incorrect.

Backup or pirated games are supposed to go there. If you are wanting to replace a file such as an eboot to mod it you do it through /game. Never mess with /GAMES files unless necessary.

/game is where updates are found. This is where you would place modified files such as an eboot, rpf, etc.

When the game is launched it reads from the update folder.

/GAMES is where backup/pirated games are located. This location is where full games are loaded from. If there are no updates for the game, it will load from here. For example, if there were no updates, the eboot would be read from here.

Replacing files in this directory can cause many issues for games. You are messing with the official game files it uses to read. Depending on what game and what was changed it could cause the game to not load, have a black screen, or not work properly.

In some cases, you can replace an eboot here. Those cases are typically when a game, which doesn't have any updates installed, won't launch or has issues. You then replace it with a "fix" eboot. Other cases would be when wanting to mod a game, sometimes the modified file is in the games install contents. So you'd replace whatever file it was and then install the game, which would install the modified version.

Almost every game has updates, installed or not. So you replace them in /game. For noobs it's simple to just tell them never to mess with /GAMES unless needed. Understand the difference?

No, that is incorrect. Any updates whether installed on launch or mm are located in /game. Updates from mm are pulled from the same server PSN uses, it's no different, they're official.

Only a full games content is found in /GAMES.
