(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); it is in (if back up)
/dev_hdd0/GAMES/*game ID*/PS3_UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

if on disk then I think its
dev_bdvd/PS3_UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

what is that file for?

Hmm.. Maybe to make sure you have a certain firmware e.g 3.5x before you play the game.. I'm not too sure though.. Try extracting it and sending it to me. I'll take a look

where can I upload? not mediafire cause it is 262,144 kb and mediafires non member limit is 200mb

ah ha! I found out how to compress with winRAR (never done before - I always uncompress)

it's now only 72 mb (WIN!)
it's uploading (btw this was from CODmw1 )

its so that when u try to play it on a lower firmware the game wont load

that pup is the fw the ps3 has to be on or higher to play

I'll stop the upload then if that's the answer xD

No if you can repack the eboot it won't ask young update. The rejection of game firm req. And ps3 firm is by the decryption of the eboot. If the ps3 can't decrypt it, it will ask to update.



But on with the Question. The backup maneger displays the game Id folder to emulate it on the bddrive. When it is on the bd drive it doesn't need the bddrive.

It's the bare minimum firmware that must be used to be able to play the game according to sony, it's really more of a way so people that don't have internet connections, or just not set up to their PS3 can receive updates so everything works accordingly and they can also get new features.

Oh yea i remember seeing that before on Backups. Maybe it's the minimum firmware to that the game can play on .
