In order for Star Ocean: The Last hope modded PKG to get work, they say to Drag everything in /USRDIR/ "from were the game is Backed up" (except the eboot) into dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR/

From what I've understood, under the USRDIR are the aska00001.bin and srpx directory.

Am I right? :confused: Cause no matter what I do, I always get the "Corrupted game data" message whenever I run the PKG file.

Its different for every game. The PKG file contains the modified eboot.bin, which has to be installed as a signed package. The eboot HAS to be signed before install so you cant just drag and drop it. If you backed your game up.
Lets say you downloaded to this: c:\downloads\starocean\.
There are folders there called USRDIR TROPHDIR etc (this can be different).

You need to transfer all those folders to "dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/"
So your ps3 looks like;
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/TROPHDIR
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/etc etc etc

When you did that, go into the usrdir folder on your ps3 and delete the eboot.bin file. Then install the pkg file (which makes a new eboot).

Wtf is that in your signature LMAO!!!

Thanks for the reply! :love:

What I did was I use Comgenie's Awesome FileManager for me to copy the files from dev_hdd0/GAMES/MRTC-00001/USRDIR/ [which are aska00001.bin and srpx directory except the eboot file] <--this is where my game was backed up into dev_hdd0/game/MRTC00001/USRDIR/ (actually the game ID is MRTC00001).

So do you mean that I have to copy also the:


dev_hdd0/GAMES/MRTC-00001/TROPHDIR/
or in short, the files under /MRTC-00001/

into

dev_hdd0/game/MRTC00001/ except the eboot.bin?

AND do I have to delete the eboot.bin inside the dev_hdd0/game/MRTC00001/USRDIR/ BEFORE I've installed the modded PKG? So that means I'm doing the wrong method? :banhamma:

I'm very sorry I asked too many questions at once I'm so frustrated I cant get this to work for 3 days of trying and trying...

dont delete the eboot or any file it will only screw the pkg just drag and drop

Okay.. If you say drag and drop, I will just move the files from USRDIR and not COPY? The USRDIR will leave blank except the eboot.bin if I did that.

I saw what some guy wrote above try to find out the order and folder all those files are stored into since Ive never worked mannually with backups /facepalm

If the readme says "dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR/" then that it is. The eboot, which runs your game is modified to look into that folder. So if you do "dev_hdd0/game/STAR99999/USRDIR/" it doesnt work cause the eboot looks into "dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR/".

So make the folders: dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/ with comgenie. Now copy your game's folders into that so it becomes:
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR/
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/TROPHDIR/
dev_hdd0/game/STAR00001/ICON0.PNG
etc etc etc. After thats done, go into the star00001/usrdir folder. Remove the eboot.bin that is there.

Now close comgenie and install the PKG file you have.
If you start comgenie after installing the pkg again and go to the usrdir folder, you should notice that there is a new EBOOT file. And that is how it should be.

Here a little explenation on how the eboot works;

The eboot excists in any game, application etc.
The eboot defines the path's where the ps3 system should look for certain files it needs. the eboot normally looks for dev_bdvd0, which is your bluray drive. However the pkg method and modified eboot(which you have as a.pkg file) is modified to look on your harddrive. so dev_bdvd0 becomes dev_hdd0. If the readme is saying "make folder dev_hdd0/games/blus00001/ then do that. You are making the same mistake i did in the start. Forget about what folder you downloaded, that doesnt matter with this method. Since you are using Geo's cfw, i might suggest you start using other cfw's which doesnt require to install modified eboots. kmeaw for example or whatever its called.

I hope you can understand what im trying to say. Sorry for any typo's (Dutch) and let me know if you got it working.

Haha its crazy ain it;p Its a master thief! :FU:

Thank you so much izyehboy! I really appreciate it! I think I understand now. I finally got it working! :love: The mistake I've done was I installed the PKG for MRTC00001. I have the other PKG which is STAR00001 so I installed it and it worked for me (though I don't know why, my game is PAL)

After hours of searching while nobody's replying, I found this You must login or register to view this content.. This also helped me. I analyze what you said and what the man said in his thread, and I think what you both said are the same?

Again, thank you for your time. :wub:

Yeah its the same idea, cuz thats the only way it works lol. Only for games which support direct-boot method. Thats why i said you should install a other CFW so you wont have to make the pkg files yourself and pray they work .

Just follow the readme's, they usually point you in the right direction.

Glad you got it to work. Have fun!
