I've decided to share with people on NGU who are having difficulty playing GTA 4 Online with Modifications.

Numerous Threads are scattered about getting GTA IV online which are quite hazy, and various Threads requesting for help.

So here is a simple Tutorial which I hope will be of help to many of you guys having trouble.

You'll be greeted with a nice Blue screen... now press Select to turn it Red and you're now in Advanced Mode.

Now the Layout is pretty simple:

Browse and select a file on the Left and then browse for the destination folder on the Right, then Press O from the Left side to copy it over to where you chose on the Right side.

Press Right to switch to the other side of the File Manager.

'EU' owners navigate to: 'dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLES00229/PS3_GAME/'

'US' owners navigate to: 'dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30127/PS3_GAME/


Now press Left to go back to the Left side again.

Hover over the PARAM.SFO.

(Make sure you've got Advanced mode enabled! Press Select until your screen is Red)

Press O on PARAM.SFO and press Start to confirm, your new PARAM.SFO has now replaced the original.

Done. Quit the File Manager.

Once back on the XMB, go to your favourite Backup Manager (I highly recommend MultiMan 1.15.02)

Run GTA IV and if you did everything correctly, you will have no prompt to update to 1.06.

Go to your in-game Phone and select Multiplayer... Success!

(Note: As this is a bypass hack, you can only play online with other bypassed players, but they're increasing so it will get populated quickly even on modded online games!)

+Rep ofcourse if I manage to help you guys. :love:

I think I read about that somewhere the Xbox version is do-able but the PS3 is a bit more difficult due to some file differences, that and the fact that the Xbox has many system file editing utilities.


Cool thanks, I'll get to work on that when I get back from work.

I'll also put a direct link to the Mods (common.rpf & PS3.rpf) if you guys need it.

please do put everything so this thread is my one stop shop

:rolleyes:

I will get to work ASAP

EDIT: First post updated for BLUS30127 support and also direct links to the GTA IV Mods. :carling:

And i can update to latest patch on these or not?
