When you file transfer the game to the OFW PS3 you won't need a jailbreak/CFW it will be in the XMB games column as a Demo.

OR if you want me to change the name then suggest one.

1 CFW PS3
1 OFW PS3 (Both PS3's need to be on the same FW to be able to File Transfer!)
A demo of the game you wish to backup
Comgenie's Awesome File Manager
multiMAN

This instructions are for BO1 but they should serve as PoC

1. On your CFW PS3 Install your demo & backup the full game to the HDD

2. Open CAFM & on the left side go to /dev_hdd0/game/*game-demo*/PS3_GAME/
& delete the following: ICON0.PNG,PIC1.PNG PARAM.SFO

3. Open CAFM & on the left side go to /dev_hdd0/GAMES/*full-game*/PS3_GAME
on the right side open /dev_hdd0/game/*game-demo*/PS3_GAME
3b.Copy (or move) these files: ICON0.PNG,PIC1.PNG & PARAM.SFO

4.Now on the left side go to /dev_hdd0/GAMES/*full-game*/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/
on the right side navigate to /dev_hdd0/game/*game-demo*/USRDIR/

5.MOVE (not copy) all of the files from the left to the right
(Move all of *full-game* USRDIR'S Contents to *game-demo's* USRDIR)

THE ONLY FILE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT MOVE OR COPY IS THE EBOOT.BIN

6.Check that the game was correctly transferred by booting it on the XMB

7.File transfer to OFW PS3!!

I don't know why this works but it only works on games which have a demo available just delete the old "XMB" files
(ICON0 PIC1 PARAM) & then transfer everything BUT the EBOOT to the demo & it will boot as the full game

--If you want to update to 1.XX then:

1. On your CFW PS3 Install the pkg update

2. Open CAFM & file transfer every file to their respective direcctories BUT EBOOT.BIN
(e.g. /dev_hdd/.../.../*fullgame-update*/ to /dev_hdd0/.../.../*game-demo*/ & it will work)

--The black ops demo has online functionalities disabled
(if you go to Zombies>PlaystationNetwork it won't do anything)
but there is a dvar that can activate that (i think it's: set xblive_connection "1")
for this you have to mod your savedata & also mod your EBOOT since the modded savedatas have been patched & you will need bypass.

I came across this while trying to mod Black Ops 1 for Zombies but my CFW doesn't have a BD Drive
(i had to download COSad AwesomeBO & ftp to PS3) but then multiMAN wouldn't boot it so - i tried EVERYTHING to make it boot & you know what IT FUCKING BOOTED (but i still couldn't mod BO1...)


There was previously a way to run any game without its demo on ofw, I forgot how though. Just google it , it was a bit more complicated though

They have a tutorial to convert backups into psn games and then they work like demos (any game no activation needed) I saw the tut on a site I forgot where though but I saw it mentioned on psx scene as well.

This requires a CFW PS3... which would be a better alternative to using a 4.41 OFW as you have a high chance of being banned.

If you have a CFW PS3 then just use your CFW PS3 for backups/mods e.t.c

I don't think anyone has read the First Post thoroughly because i state that i have a CFW ps3 that has a NON-WORKING BLU RAY DRIVE, & since i wanted to MOD black ops 1 i followed the tutorials but on step 3 or 4 you have to run black ops on the CFW PS3 and since my BD Drive is fried i had to try everything to run it which let me discover this & at the end i couldN'T run Modded Black Ops 1 Zombies.

But i wanted to contribute to the community & help people that are stranded like me & can't run their backups on a working OFW PS3!


PSad Awesome I also think that this has not been detected or patched since the game runs by the demo's parameters e.g. no online & the name on your friends list comes up as if you were playing a demo not the full game from multiMAN which gets you an instant-perma-ban from PSN & any game server.

thx for this

Fact is, this is a pretty straight forward PoC but will not work for ALL games. Most demos don't include the WHOLE game which would mean missing files. BUT you might be able to reverse the order of steps slightly to get ALL to work. All you need is the Demo's Eboot.bin, transfer that into the full games USRDIR replacing the original then play. But I'm not sure.

Wrong, the PARAM.SFO is what tells the console which tells Sony what game you are playing. I could mod the MultiMan Param to say "I'm having sex with Sony's mother" and they'd see that.

I suppose the question really is, if you have an OFW why not try something like this? Might have a slightly less chance of being detected.
