Hi all

I've been reading about making a pkg.
I've been trying to make apkg from a ps 1 game.

The game is chase the express. Or some call it nuclear dawn covert ops for ps 1.

Now it's a 2 disk game and I've got it in Afew formats.

Pbp
bin and cue
And eboot

Now I want it as as pkg to install onto rebut 4.81.

I've managed to get the eboot and get the the part where it converts from folder game to pkg.
Then I use true ancestor to sign it.
And it makes a pkg signed.

I then put this on a usb drive then go to ps3 install package file it installs then I load it and then I'll get across black screen and ps3 freezes or it boots me back to xmb.

Am I going wrong somewhere or is this game not possible to turn into a pkg file.

Just want easy pkg file as u can't get the multi disk swap working in multiman or webmod

Any help would be appreciated thanks

PBP file = EBOOT, with that format swapping discs wont be a problem so no need for pkg conversion for that reason. If you still want to convert the game to a pkg follow this guide, it's for HAN users but should do the trick for you (i dont know if the resigning part does apply for you as a rebug user).

did you try in "install from psn" inside PKG manager ??

when i convert my psx games to pkg i do this:

1.-Convert to iso bin img or whatever you want
2.- with PSX2PSP -->get PBP also in this step you select if its 2 or more disc game
3.-Run _Fix_EBOOT.PBP_ download from here https://www.sendspace.com/file/5qompg
4.- edit icons pic0 pic1 snd0.at3 etc
5.-make pkg.

i use another tool. with this i just install it directly to the ps3 without installing it again from PSN content
but if you try with that in the download you need to install it first then go to Install from psn and there should be your PKG

I've done them steps 1 to 5 it installs but get a black screen when trying to play it.

Hi thanks for reply
I need to change it to pkg as ps3 slim doesn't read Pbp or eboot for psx they don't show up. And for the Han I've tried that but my ps3 freezes when I click on enable pkg.

Do I need to get my idps and act.dat before I try to enable the pkg.

And also I'm on cfw rebug is it ok to use the Han exploit aswell and this will put the enable Han on my xmb is it ok to have both

I've 1 han and 1 cfw console, so i'm dont know anything about using han on cfw. More info on HAN installation here:

I've been reading about Han and some say there's no need for it if your already on cfw.
I just want this ps1 game converted to pkg as it's 2 disks and I can't seem to get the option to change disks if I play it through multiman or irisman

I've followed the steps to convert it but get black screen

1. Deliver the .pkg to your console. This can be done in many ways, some of which are:
   • FTP: copy the file to /dev_hdd0/packages/
   • FAT32 flash drive: Only for packages that fit. Simply put them on the root, or a "packages" subfolder of the root, of said external disk.
   • NTFS hard drive (bubble method): Browse to the packages in IRISMAN's file manager and click on them.
   • NTFS hard drive (remount method): Browse to the packages in IRISMAN's file manager, press circle on one of them, select "mount and exit to XMB", go immediately to next step.
2. Go to Game > ★ Package Manager > ...
   • FTP: ... > Install Package Files > PS3 System Storage > your package
   • FAT32 flash drive: ... > Install Package Files > Standard or Package Directory > your package
   • NTFS hard drive (bubble method): ... > Playstation Network Content > your package
   • NTFS hard drive (remount method): ... > Install Package Files > Standard > your package
3. Your package is now installed. You can find the applications in the appropriate main menu (Game, unless it's a video-related application, etc)
4. You can delete the files you used in the previous steps.
5. You may need to install licenses for non-DRM-free packages. The most common way is by installing the ReactPSN homebrew (yep, another package), copying the licenses (RAP, RIF, EDAT) to an "exdata" folder of a FAT32 hard drive, creating or renaming a second PS3 user called "aa", then running ReactPSN while holding L1 until it returns to the XMB.

PSN Patch is much quicker and easier than ReActPSN, and you don't have to create another user to do it, the licences files are stored the users extdata folder on there profile of the console when there are installed.

Spoiler: PSN Patch RAP & EDAT Install.....

 

[cybernet707]

Thanks for all the info I did install it all ok but it doesn't need react psn does it as it's it's a ps1 game not from the store.

It's a ps1 game from my physical copy. And I've also got it also a Pbp file. Doesn't have a rap or rif file

But it does have an edat file does this have to go in the exdata folder. Is this why I'm getting the black screen and it has to be activated with reactpsn

Ok, first...please consider using the question mark, i dont know what's a statement and what not.
When you install a PKG it wil create a rif file for that package on your system based on user and console info.
When you're converting an EBOOT backup to PKG it will also need a rif file on your system, otherwise it's not activated for use. I really suggest you read the linked tutorials once again and finish all the steps, otherwise you'll keep getting a blackscreen.
Also from my experience, if the ps3 doesn't give you an error when you start a ps1 backup but just a blackscreen it's either a corrupt EBOOT or i made a mistake during the pkg conversion.

Your both welcome..

Doesn't have a rap or rif file

A RAP file is installed as a RIF. So whatever RAP file you put on the USB will show up as RIF in the folder on the PS3.

But it does have an edat file does this have to go in the exdata folder

Normally you find edats in the game install data folder on PS3. PSN Patch would import these edats and put them where they belong, sorry for the bit confusion. The Rap is used to activate the edat.
I'm not 100% sure how they are used in PS1 games as all my PS1 games are in BIN/CUE format on my PS3. So they don't ever black screen.

For ps1 backups they need to be in the USRDIR folder of the game, so in his case /dev_hdd0/game/SCES02812/USRDIR

So the same place you find them on a PS3 game... i thought they would go there but wasn't sure. Thank's for the confirmation.

I'll check again and try a different rip I've read a lot of tutorials thanks for your input I'll report back thanks

ive followed a tutorial can i post a link to the video that i followed
as it still gives me a black screen

 

[cybernet707]

hi all well ive followed the video and it didnt work and ive also followed the link up above from that tutorial in the signed pkg wont even install followed it step by step dont kn ow why it wont work

hi all well ive followed the video and it didnt work and ive also followed the link up above from that tutorial in the signed pkg wont even install followed it step by step dont kn ow why it wont work

well it should if you correctly follow the steps, so somethings wrong on your end. try this:

hi all well ive followed the video and it didnt work and ive also followed the link up above from that tutorial in the signed pkg wont even install followed it step by step dont kn ow why it wont work

i can not understnd what is the problem with this process:


Download this--->>>https://www.sendspace.com/file/5qompg
Follow this.
1. Create EBOOT.PBP from iso with PSX2PSP (Compression:0-None)
2. Place EBOOT.PBP in workbench directory
3. Run _Fix_EBOOT.PBP_.exe (wait until EBOOT.PBP is moved to PKG directory)
4. Make PKG.

optional (before make PKG)
- Replace Pictures (or use template)
- Replace Param.SFO (or use template)

is too damn straightforward, also i dont know why are you struggling with rifs raps edats and all that stuff.... unless im missing something if you are converting your isos and even if you donwloaded em you dont need all that stuff using this method.
also you are on CFW you dont need any resing for HAN and all that HAN stuff.

again unless im missing something this should not be any problem at all. you should consider that the ISO perhaps is wrong?? IDK.. or there is something wrong with your PS3?? maybe reinstalling Rebug ?? rebuild database restore file system or whatever the name is in recovery menu. ???

IDK that whats come to my mind. good luck mate!!

 

[cybernet707]

thanks for the video link mndxgood to know but im more interested in the pkg side of the game. but i tried the tutorials again but i changed some of the tools to choose so i used PS3xploit-resigner-2.0.0 instead of the one suggested. and i also used a different psx to psp eboot converter. then followed the rest of the steps but didnt sign the pkg just left as is.

loaded it up installed it and it worked no black screen dont know where i went wrong before as i done the exact same things but changed programs which done the same things as the programs suggested

but hey all worked in the end

thanks for all your info on this thread appreciate it
