(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NGU, so today I've decided to share how to save and conserve space on your PS3 system. I don't believe something like this has been published any where, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows it. Unfortunately, I don't own a Elgato to show you this over video, but I will try to be as descriptive as possible. If someone could please make a video tutorial I'd greatly appreciate it.

I did post how to save space on the game Watch Dogs long ago when it first was out, but haven't seen how to do it on several games. That's why I'm here to show you. Basically, this will delete unneeded or unwanted languages on games to gain more system space. This will not affect gameplay, only languages. Now, before we begin just incase.. BACKUP FILES THAT WILL BE DELETED. Let's begin..

If you go into any game directory under "dev_hdd0/game", most games somewhere under USRDIR will have additional language files. Not always is it possible to delete them, sometimes you can't play the game without them or you cannot access them as they are inside another file. I do know that this works on most Call Of Duty titles and Watch Dogs. There are a few other games I have tried, but don't remember. That's for you to try and find out. So let me show you how to do it for Call Of Duty: Black Ops.

1. Go into the Black Ops region directory (I will be using BLUS30951)
2. Go inside the USRDIR folder.
3. You should see a folder named "french", this can be deleted.
4. If you have DLC's for this game they will be under folders named "dlc1, dlc2, etc.".
5. Inside those you will find another french folder, this can be deleted from each of the dlc folders.

Simple enough right? Pretty self-explanatory as they are named after languages. If you go into another Call Of Duty game you will most likely see folders with the same thing. For example, Black Ops 2 is displayed the exact same way. Now, let's try Watch Dogs (not that anyone plays this shit any more)

1. Go into the Watch Dogs region directory (I will be using BLUS31176)
2. Go inside the USRDIR folder.
3. Go inside the data_ps3 folder.
4. Delete these files: sound_french.dat, sound_german.dat, sound_italian.dat, & sound_spanish.dat.

Pretty basic and easy, you just look through until you see files or folders marked as a certain language. Now, you can go through each of your games to see if you find useless language files. I recommend that you back them up just incase it doesn't work. Unless, you'll have to re-install the update.

This can also be done with games under dev_hdd0/GAMES. Depending the game you can delete some language files, but for these are less likely to work although it has worked before. These are more important to backup if they don't work, otherwise you'd have to re-download those files or copy the game, depending how you got it

Again, I apologize that I couldn't provide any pictures or videos and I'm hoping someone can. But this is pretty simple to do, so these written tuts should be good enough :p Anyways, enjoy your extra space

I DO NOT allow this to be posted elsewhere, but knowing some assholes will anyways please give me credit.

This actually worked for me. i now have loads more space Thx <3

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! Glad to know this works and can actually be useful to some

How much space would this clear up might do this later
Not read anything about this so good one and it wont mess my game up in any way will it?

I think its just the language folders that are just there

I don't think that it will mess up your game, I mean you play on the english language and not the french one. I guess if you would change it to french for example it wouldn't start.

Reaily grave digging in the 3.55 days i see...

Like if french people join my match it wont crash on me or anything lol but thanks for answer tested after seems to work still

No, it's the language of the game. So if you wanted to play the game everyone in the game would speak French and subtitles would be too. Doesn't affect people you play with online or gameplay, just the language of the game.



It would block out French or just not work, but yeah. Pretty much!



Depends on the game it is and you can check the size of the folders or files before. No as I stated in the thread this does not affect any gameplay only the languages you can use.

Bump!
