Indeed.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I've been trying to get WaW running from the XMB for DAYS .

And this was really a last attempt and IT WORKED

I am so happy =D

Here's what i done ..

1. Went to dev/hdd0/NPAUXXXXXX (Was Warhawks folder) . Will probably work with any game folder .

2. Deleted Warhawk's USRDIR and replaced it with the USRDIR From my COD5 game .

2.5. Tried to run the game then but i got the corrupted data error yada yada /facepalm

3. Downloaded the latest WaW patch on my PC and installed it through the install package files on my XMB

4. Went on FTP/ Awesome File manager and copied the PARAM.SFO from the updated games folder (in my case dev/hdd0/game/BLES00354) to the place where i have my COD5 USRDIR (dev/hdd0/game/NPAUXXXXX) and it replaced Warhawk's PARAM.SFO .

5. Went back to the XMB and went to run Warhawk knowing it had the COD5 Files in it.

6. Literally closed my eyes cos i have been so frustrated trying to get this to work lol -.-

7. Heard that creep music in the COD5 Intro , I was so happy Smile

8. Works like a charm , its easier than it looks but this was all coincedences i found this and i somebody else has i havn't seen it anywhere cos every single method i tried didn't work !!


PS : I didn't copy over the trophys folder yet and if you want to get them working you should copy them over .

I Think this should work with any game because none of the other methods worked with my COD5 and this DID .

Also if you want to go ahead and replace all the files like The images and names and stuff im sure it will still work

I don't know HOW this works it just DOES :y:

Hey Nice find mate! Was just wonderin have you copied over the WAW patch/gamesave/backup image file and replaced it with the warhawk one? Then you will be able to run WAW with its own title image on the XMB instead of Warhawks lol

I think this could work with any Downloadable game, however Idk if warhawk is downloadable, just what i think, also I think one way we could fix games with the black screen is to try patching their eboots, then running them from a backup manager
