Tested some more

History Channel Great Battles Medieval - Working - DVD-RW

Not Working.
MindJack, Hasbro Family Night, Call of Juarez, NailD, Winter Sports

I really like the screenshot option.
Wish I had a BD recorder to test on a rewritable. I´m kind of limited with DVD-RW. I´d like to check if they work before burning them permanetly.
Anybody got a compatibilty list going yet? I´m not sure if Deank wants this thread clogged up with testing posts.

A big big thanks to the author been having lots of fun with this

thanks a lot for this great work! (as usual). tried this a bit just some observations;

1. does not work with 64bit windows, tho only tried once.

2. pkg uses same gameID as the game being booted from the disc, so i suspect that when the game needs to install data or checks whether there is an installed data it crashes or reports that data is corrupted so some games dont work, just my two cents.

3. lastly, you can create a pkg and boot a game disc of a diff game, ex created pkg for dead to rights backup but inserted a farcry2 burned backup and it booted fine, so this worked since the app only calls for the eboot in the disc? so maybe this can be tried to those games that were reported not working? want to try it but i have limited backups.

not sure if a standalone pkg (with unique gameID) is possible? since we can only boot game off our disc one at a time so no need to create and install diff pkgs from the game xmb?

Yes, it does. Win7 x64.

It has been mentioned few pages back.

I was thinkig something like that, so i checked:

Installed GH Smash Hits .pkg and started it:
1) Mafia II show a message "Trophies are corrupt, please exit the game and restart",
2) Batman Arkham Asylum, Game data installed and everything is ok.

The problem with the game data install games is this app tells the game its version 9.00 which is way to high for the original game to recognize thats probably why is crashes.
FTP into the PS3 and edit the PARAM.SFO to say its version 1.00 then it should install the game data.
IF it gets removed then just reinstall the game installer then it should work.
I've done that for a few games and they now work. (NOT with this app. I do it manually)

EDIT the Param.sfo then run the game. It might take 2 or 3 tries for the system to recognize the changes but it should work.

I haven't got any of these to work yet as all my games are originals or HDD/USB games. I did try a few 3.6* games and none of them work. All the other games work so no need to move them to a disc. HDD/USB is faster than a disc.

Stupid question. Thats exactly what MultiMan does....

For Mafia II, it doesn't rewrites Param.sfo for 9.00, and it doesn't modyfi any files just copies (trophy, lic, and few other files) and compile it into a .pkg file.

Originally Posted by deank How does it work? discBOOT application: 1) uses the original game folder to get the icons, sounds and PARAM.SFO 2) doesn't change/mod any of the original files - it only copies ICON*.PNG, PIC*.PNG, SND0.AT3, the license and trophies 3) uses a precompiled PS3 program, which enables direct disc access, enables screenshot and background music and then waits until a disc is present with /dev_bdvd/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN. If no disc is present - it will just sit on black screen until you insert one. You can't use original PS3 disc. 4) Once it finds the file - it executes it - that's it.

Then, it will be cool to make an application which can enable internal game boot from XMB (I have some Pkg which can run games from XMB, including FF XIII) AND unlock the screenshot/ music feature
OR
make a pkg which will unlock screenshot/ Music feature, but we'll still need to go through multiman which will mount the game (for ★ App_home, not from a disc).

I have a "cheat" pkg installed for FF XIII which enable 99 999 HP (and modify other things) but in order to run it, I need to enter in Multiman, launch the game, then when it exit from multiman, I launch the XMB icon (instead of ★ App_home/).
Every game (that already work in multiman) should work in this way.
I can share the PKG if someone want to study it

I really hope that someone will make a such program

I don't know if this was asked before but would this allow me (for instance) to burn DIRT 3 on a BD and play it with this app?

DiRT 3 requires the keys for fw3.60+.

[killbill9999]

We really need someone to publish/take control of a compatibility list for ps3 disc backups

1 for dvd5 media
1 for DVDR-DL
1 for BDR

They need to tried and tested by someone with good knowledge and willing to re-insert disc upon black screen/spinning drive heads

I have found 3 so far poss already posted

Full Auto 2 Battlelines
Burnout Paradise
Moto GP 10/11

Trying :-
FIFA Street 3
Fight Night Round 4
G-Force
Monopoly Streets
NBA Jam
Sonic & Sega All Star Racing
WCS Real 2011
WRC FIA World Rally Chamionship

I WILL POST RESULTS ON THESE WHEN COMPLETE (APPROX 2HRS)
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
fight night 4 not working ' delete game data corrupted etc'
@dean would this still be possible if game resides under fake id ?
ie BLES00095 > ZLES00095 maybe if possible could improve compatibility I believe we are getting delete corrupted date due to files already existing in ex BLES00095 so installing shortcut to another id may help , but your the TECH and i can't answer if this is even possible ;just an idea

Update


MX vs ATV Untamed - WORKS
G-Force - WORKS
NBA Jam - WORKS ( after Disc re-insert upon black screen ( checked param.sfo 'app ver 9.0'))
WRC FIA World Championship Rally - FAILS ' delete gamedata corrupted error ( tried change param to app ver 1.0 - made no difference
PDC Darts- FAILS tried re-insert on blackscreen just black screens again
SONIC & SEGA RACING - FAILS b.screen and again after disc out n in
WCS REAL 2011 - works - reinsert required


A good point was made a couple of pages back and needs changing within discBOOT program via Dean K ; App Ver 9.0 ( I believe this is why we need to re insert discs ; changed it to 1.0 on MX Vs ATV Untamed ( no disc re-insertion required ) I understand that this was made to ver 9.0 as people may have updates for games but standardly really needs to 1.0
