Again for the noobs who are struggling with what to do.

1. Click on the button with 3 dots and select the folder that contains all of the game example: c:\GAMEZ\BCES00322 where this folder contains the PS3_GAME, PS3_UPDATE and possibly some other folders and files.

2. Type in a backup directory name to be no more than 6 characters, so why not choose MOTST for Motorstorm

3. Select Firmware either 3.55 if your on 3.55 with GeohotJB or 3.41 if using a Dongle

4. Patch method. I like to use advanced as it has been okay so far

5. Click Patch and hopefully it ends with 0 warnings. If not, then try a different patch method or check 1 to 3

6. Find the folder where you ran the app PS3 BD2HDD and you'll find a file ending in PKG. It will also have the Game ID as part of the file name.

7. Copy PKG to USB stick, Go to PS3, Find app Install Package and look for PKG file

8. Run PKG file and go back to XMB. Look for your game. It won't run yet!

9. Start FTP on PS3, Start FTP on PC

10. Using FTP on PC, look for dev_hdd0/game and then the folder that your game ID is called for example dev_hdd0/game/BCES00322

11. Open this folder and make your way to the USRDIR folder

12. On the PC side, do the same navigation and copy all of the files inside the USRDIR folder to the PS3 EXCEPT the EBOOT.BIN

13. Wait a while

14. Close FTP on PC and PS3, play game

15. If it don't work, it could be that the game is not playable from XMB or you've screwed up somewhere.

This works for me all of the time except where a game refuses to follow the rules......

Instead of using an FTP and copying 14+gb of data. you can just copy over the param.sfo file from PS3_Game and the eboot.bin from the usrdir.

make a folder on your desktop called PS3_GAME and dump param.sfo in it, then create a folder inside PS3_GAME called USRDIR and dump eboot.bin into it, then run PS3BD2HDD.

Either way you do it though, i've found that you can get erros like 'Later bersion is already installed', 'pkg not found', 'eboot.bin not found' etc.

That usually because the game your're trying to crack has been patched.

it's easier to crack a 1.0 version of the game.
