PS3 HAN [OBSOLETE] [Tutorial] The Great PS3Xploit 3.0 HAN All In One Guide

Faqin hell matey!

Even I am getting that error on Alien Isolation.
If you do find a solution, make sure to post it here.
The only way it worked, was using a PKG with its respective RAP because the backup of my BluRay could never make it work, now I have problems with the Army of Two game, since it starts but when you reach the profile selection screen it stucks and I have to restart the console, does anyone know any solution? I would thank you a lot.
 
2 questions about the c00 unlocker and demos. If I download Far Cry 4 Keys to Kyrat and unlock it, will it unlock the full Far Cry 4 game? Also, are there any more games that can be unlocked with c00 unlocker or are those the onpy games that can be unlocked?

Only c00 games can be unlocked in this Manor.
You don't download a demo, you download the full game but it's a timed trial. C00 unlocked removes this time trial
 
Great tutorial, I've had a lot of success with most PS2, a few PSP and PS3 titles. Thanks to the OP and the devs who gave us the tools to exploit our SuperSlim PS3s finally!

Couple of PS3 persistent offenders that are giving me grief though :-

  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma - BLUS30036. CFW2OFW Helper moans that it can't find TITLE, PARAM.SFO information and so on when the PS3_GAME folder is present in it's directory. I had the EUR version before this, same problem, like it wasn't recognising it as a game at all. Using PARAM.SFO Editor on the file didn't help either. Gonna try with PS3GameConvert again, although first time I tried it I couldn't get it to finish. I notice the make_npdata.exe from CFW2OFW Helper is newer than the one that comes with PS3GameConvert although it is smaller so I'm gonna try that.
  • God Of War Collection - BCUS98229. Tried the EUR version originally and it was only creating a 4.5GB or so main PKG file so I assumed that was where the error was, i.e. not converting all the game resources. Switched to the US version and it compiles to around 12GB for the main PKG but black screens every time GoW I or GoW II is chosen, hard crashes the PS3.
  • WATCH_DOGS - BLES01854. This one just hangs on the loading screen, never getting to menu. I understand this was happening for people from the disc version who updated to v1.04 before starting and playing the game, so I've tried installing just the 15GB main PKG and the 100kb license PKG (missing out the PATCH PKG), running the game this way but it still hangs before it gets to main menu.

Any ideas chaps? I've got about half a dozen other PS3 PKG games across and working flawlessly, just these ones that seem to elude me.

I remember reading that bluray compilation collections don't work. So that's God of war out the way.

Can't find anything about ninja gaiden...
Same for watchdogs.

Nothing special for compatibility on these 2 games. Maybe check you backups aren't corrupt etc
 
Thanks for your reply.

GoW Collection is out then, that's a shame. On the backup of my Vita cartridge it was possible to just have the patched VPK for GoW I and have that work while if GoW II was missing it would black screen - I don't like the second one anyway, original was best IMO.

Yeah that's the odd thing, no compatibility info on the CFW2OFW compatibility list for NG Sigma but both EUR and US versions don't show as a game to CFW2OFW Helper. Running both backups through PS3GameConvert caused a crash on the LIC.DAT encryption, and I notice it can't then be fed straight into Make Backup PKG anyway because it makes one folder not two as CFW2OFW Helper would, meaning I'm guessing there are additional steps that I don't know about.

I'm gonna try WATCH_DOGS backup from The Russian Forum anyway, see if their pre-patching makes for a smoother conversion because it just constantly gets stuck on the LOADING... screen after installing the 7GB update and shows as v1.04 regardless of whether the PATCH PKG is installed. Compatibility list for this shows no Exclusive Method or anything so on paper it should be simple, but sadly it's not lol.

Does Ninja Gaiden have an update? If there's no update for a bluray game, then there's no way to make it work with HAN.

God of War 1 and 2 HD is available as a PSN title. These should work fine

Good shout on going PSN PKG route, lot faster to grab and sign than the whole PS3 Blu-ray backup deal. GoW I works perfectly from that version when installed with the RAP, I'm working on Sigma and WATCH_DOGS now.

EDIT: Oh incidentally nice to see another musician on here! What do you play (instrument/styles) as you mentioned it in the original post too.

Bass player by profession but i play most instruments. Or at least try to play them :D
 
Some updates to the guide.

Ive added an XMB part with sections for changing coldboot, fonts and xmb waves.

Apologies for the very very poor editing...
Everytime i think ive sorted the BB code out and it adds a millions commands and its getting worse and worse....

Any help would be appreciated, im just editing blind now...
 
Hey did somebody got Modnation Racer to run? I tried it twice now but always get the 80010007 Error. What is this Error and how can you fix it?
 
How people are doing their own pkg files?
I'm struggling a lot with process of making them through TrueAncestor.
I'm using a pythin script that do the thing, but F%$# up a memory error if the package is to big.
TrueAncestor version doesn't do that, but when I install and try in-game, it freezes my PS3.
So I assume this hierarchy of package is unsupported.
I'm trying to put some custom songs on Rock Band 3, btw.

We need more details to answer your query appropriately.
Are you using HAN on OFW to run the game?
If yes, are you resigning files using the ps3xploit resigner pc app?
What do you use to prepare your game? CFW2OFW then TA? Only TA?
Can you actually install the pkg produced by TA?
Where does the game come from? Disc? PSN?
When does the crash occur? On load? In game?

Yep. HAN on OFW.
Resigning with ps3xploit resigner master on PC.
CFW2OFW won't accept the folders for packaging.
TA do them through fast repack, but after installing, ps3 freezes on checking content.
I'm using another program, still beta to say the least. This one won't accept larger files though.
RB3 is a disc-based only title. It is a US release, so it's BLUS30463. DLC matches with it.
Crash/freeze happens when game check for additional content, that won't occur when I build package through PKG Maker script.

Are you applying the game updates? Without game updates, the game files are not npdrm but retail disc versions & incompatible with HAN.
CFW2OFW should work fine, if it does not, it probably means something is wrong either with your game files or the lack of updates making the game title incompatible with CFW2OFW preparation.

In any case, doing everything manually requires using the right steps like extracting all the game updates into the game folder in the right order before repackaging etc..
 
I have successfully created the 3 required pkgs for the euro version of Mafia II following this tut. sadly, I'm unable to install to the ps3 using pkg linker v2. The message I receive whenever i hit the X button to install is "To use this feature,you must first download software". Please help me to get this working. Thank you.
 
about life is strange, do i download the free episode 1 and then use c00 unlocker to unlock it or what?

If you have already installed c00 unlocked, then your are done. The unlocked c00 covers all compatible games and only has to be installed once.

Havent personally tried Life is Strange though. So I can't help your further than this
 
After re reading the guide I've noticed there's a lot of coding mess leftover in the latter parts and trying to fix it, I've made it a little worse.
Im putting updates on hold while I try and sort this out.
But its still all readable right now so I'll leave it till I can figure out what I've done wrong
