I was expecting you to say something bigger than the PKG you created, but is the other way around o_O
Im guessing your PKG included game files (taken from the disc the first time you booted the game in version 1.00)

And this is making me remember, GT5 had a setting where is allowed to perform 2 or 3 different types of "gamedata" installations... in one of them the gamedata installation was minimal (so most files are loaded from the disc), and other was massive (it was creating a gamedata installation of more than 20gb or so)
GT6 have that too ?, and you changed it in the settings ?
 
Not sure about the minimal instalation, but I didn't change anything. I had to boot GT6 one time at least, because it has to "unpack" the updates. Afaik, GT6 is the only game that acts this way (you install a pkg, then boot the game, and the game "installs" the pkg again).
 
GT6 left choice to the user if he want install data or not (this cannot be tick by mistake becasue user is not even informing about it lol, he must crawling in game settings to do that, at least AFAIR). If he agree, there are probably additional tasks during patching (I have in mind of course disc distributed game). This have for sure also impact on overall size. Additional data on disk was around 10GiB.

@jcorrea I heard that multiplayer for The Last of Us or U3 acting the same way as GT6. I dunno.

Game doesn't install pkg again because package is already extracted. ;] It installing patch data from it's USRDIR. Sony PS3 patches are just archives which overwriting files, but GT6 patches after unpacking from PKG are like xdelta or PPF. That's why this takes ages to do.

I was thinking in it mostly for storage purposes, because im not sure if the PKG you created includes some files from the disc, but i guess is hard to know because this GT games does some things that are unique
Another weird thing is the game performs small gamedata installations (using files from the disc), the first time you play in one of the circuits
It looks like every circuit needs to install his gamedata, and everytime you play for first time in a new circuit the gamedata size increases

If the purpose is to short the instalaltion times, then what you did is better... allow the game to install everything then create a PKG with all... but delete ghost laps, photos made in the photo mode, and things like that... all this stuff is stored inside the gamedata installation too (this was retarded imo, and LBP does it too)
 
Do someone knows about hyenas project? Maybe we can play GT6 online again, on private servers of course.

The author has a lot of another repos, with servers for specific PS3 games (Warhawk, Ratchet Clank 3, Twisted Metal). I will check how it works, because I'm really curious.:witless:

Weird, there is a binary file inside that. I'm just removing the URL of project, because I'm not sure if this is secure. But it's easy to find on github.

I found the option about game data. It lets you check the used space (654MB used) and, I deleted it and changed the option to don't install it again in future. Thanks @Berion
 
Quite tiny. I remember that when I comparing size in XMB before and after install data, difference was ~10GiB (clean version, no patches, maybe that's the reason).

Im guessing it could be made this way to try to do it with the smaller size:
-Delete previous gamedata if it existed
-Boot game for first time (and allow to install gamedata)
-Look at the game settings, incase there are several options for the "hdd install" select the minimal
-FTP/filemanager the gamedata files and make a list of his MD5 (because we dont need to backup this ones)
-Install all the PKG updates...
-FTP/filemanager the gamedata files and delete the ones that matches the MD5 from previous step
-Build PKG witht he rest

This should include "only" the files from the updates... or thats my guess, as mentioned before GT games does some weird things so im not completly sure if what im saying makes sense :rolleyes:

Hello everyone. Does anyone still have a pkg with the DLC FIX for GT6? All links on the Internet are broken.
Click to expand...

it's called psn. not a single piece of content needs to be fixed and often the fixer messes things up anyway. better hurry, because I think it's October 27th that sony stops allowing credit cards and paypal on the ps3 and the vita, so I guess only psn cards will work from then on.
 
you should check psn asap. I got the email about the change today actually, to two of my email addresses. tbh, at first, I was hoping it was an invitation to buy a ps5 or something or a banning somehow even though I haven't been on psn on any of my systems in a long time. :-P they may have a collection of dlc's. I remember when I was looking at psn on my superslim, they had both tales of symphony and dawn of the new world together in a collection for like $20. that's one of the games I bought until my account got messed up somehow in such a way that sony didn't even know what was wrong (talked to them online with their customer service several times). I eventually got a refund for all purchases, because my account wouldn't allow me to buy anything anymore. I thought that was nice of them.
