Sure! If i could... I mean, there isn't much to say about it. No error log or code,just that mensage,"Some folders are missing". It's not a problem to me,though. I use the pkg linker.
 
The problem might have been due to the fact that there was a folder with the same name(as I was unpacking the pkg). I'm just guessing as this was the only problem I had

Hi! Just to notify that I recently uploaded a more updated version of my tool.

I did perform a Windows 7 clean install on my laptop, and still, PKG linker is not working for me :( ... I believe the error (It has been always the same error) should be hardware related. Also, for advanced users, if you are following the HAN Toolbox close, you may already noticed that it can be used to download PKGs direct from internet. I am not sure why it is not implemented, but I can think several reasons, so I will not follow that patch; research it if you are reading and interested.

Anyway, find the v0.7 tool in the first post!

Hello @Zakkious. That error is because the assistant is looking a folder named NPXXXXXXX, and it seems yours is not. Could it be that the PKG contains a BLXXXXXX folder instead? Check this! But anyway, did you get that PKG direct from Zeuz or Ares servers?

I believe that the lic pkg is separated from the other PKGs because its install instructions are different. Since I am working with OFW, I will be blind if I try to work with a whole package that includes it all.

Cool, thanks! Testint the splitter.exe. Did you manage to fix the bug that does not allow the program to handle very large games?
Anyway, I am testing it out right now.

Also, in the batch files you attached, it is not recommended to use psn_package_npdrm to create the whole PKGs because some times it will refuse to pack together some files (.sprx, .self, etc); that's why the _main folder exists; it includes some files that psn_package_npdrm may refuse to pack. Use make_package_npdrm_retail instead.

In order to avoid the psn_package_npdrm error with some files, my tool have this line:
Code: 
dir /b /s "temp" | robocopy "temp\%game_id%" "%temp%\%game_id%_main" "*.edat" "*.self" "*.sprx" "*.sdat" "eboot.bin" /s

The aforementioned copy those files to the _main folder, and then, make_package_npdrm_retail creates that PKG without errors.
I do not use make_package_npdrm_retail to create the whole package because it gave other errors if files are mixed. It is quite complicated because I have no pay too much attention to it, nor to investigate, but at least they work they way I put together.

Does anyone know if you can split ps2 games for han?

Haven't tried it my self, but I believe it is possible as the main intention of this thread is to split a large PKG into smallers ones so you can use a USB stick.
Those games with files larger than 4gb, can't be split with this method.
 
Hey there, thanks for the program. it really helped me since i cant use PKG linker. here are some stuff that happened to me with v0.7:

i downloaded AC 1 which is 7.63 GB and after splitting it, the files's sizes (Main, part1 and part2) were 6.3 GB. so there is a 1.3 GB missing this happened to me before with wwe 13 which was 12 GB and the files's sizes were less than that. but i freed some space and retried it and the files's sizes were the same as the game this time. but when i retried it again with AC there was still that missing 1.3 GB even tho i have more than enough space . the game works at start but i dont if the missing 1.3 GB will remove something from the game when i reach the final stages and i might not even able to finish it. and why is the 1.3 missing in the first place?

i downloaded Red Dead Redemption which is 8.17 GB and when splitting it, it gave me a pop up saying "file big" and i clicked "ok" and the splitting continued and it was longer than usual. after the split i only got 1 file ( main) which was 8.17 GB with no parts. why that? why didnt the file split? the game wasnt even that big i split wwe 13 and ninja gaiden sigma which are 12 GB and 11 GB and they split perfectly ( apart from wwe 13 until i retried it ) so if it can work with games larger than 11GB why not 8 GB?

and thanks in advanced :D

That's basicly what happens when I try to split a ps2 game.It says big file,then when I press any key to continue it says files or folders are missing.

Hello Saleh. Thanks for your reply!

I will need to test AC to check what happen. Would like to test it out.
Regarding RDR, be aware of the following:
1. A PKG is 1 file that contains several other files. It is a PacKaGe file.
2. My assistant does not split the game core files, it split a PKG.
3. In order to split the PKG, my assistant extracts its content, create several folders smaller than 4GB and repack it.
4. If the game we are working with have 1 file larger than 4GB, it is pointless to repack it because FAT32 can't handle it. My assistant can't split those files because each game is configured to work as its developers intended to; splitting the game core files (not the PKG) will need to hard mod the game it self.

What I can suggest to you is to create a BackUp of your PS3 in a USB stick, then inject the game into that backup and restore it. Nevertheless, there are some details to take in mind:
1. If you do not have a large size USB stick, you may have to modify the backup it self, which could be annoy.
2. Each time you restore a BackUp, you will have to install HAN, HAN toolbox and any game licenses you prior enable.
3. Also, you will lose trophies if you didn't sync up them prior to restore the BackUp.

Finally, there is a way to install games directly from the XMB by downloading them from the internet directly into the PS3, no need of PKG Linker, remote server nor my assistant. However, I do not know why it is not discussed here. If you want more details, Google is your friend.
