PS3 [TUTORIAL] How to split a large PKG file for OFW

montcer said:
No, by extracting the CPK file you will be able to split its content in several folders and then, create a PKG per folder.
I do not have that game so my help is limited, but doing a small Google search, it seems that the tools to do this are easy to find. Read here.
If you are lucky enough, Persona 5 developers leave behind some code in the EBOOT file or any other file that will search for the game content in the extracted files instead of the packaged ps3.cpk. In order to know if you are a lucky person, you could do a little Google search about how to mod the game, OR, try it by yourself like this:
1. Extract only the content of ps3.cpk following the instructions in the link I previous share with you
2. Once extracted, place it in another folder. I mean, the ps3.cpk file MUST NOT be inside the USDIR nor any other folder within NPEB02436.
3. The USDIR folder should have this files:
  • EBOOT.BIN
  • ICON0.PNG
  • cache.cpk
  • content.edat
  • data.cpk
  • xrd664.aad
  • ALL THE CONTENT OF ps3.cpk. It could be a bunch of files and folders, or several package files, not sure.
4. At this point you must have only files which size should be less than 4gb.
4.1 Show us the result files and folder structure
5. Start my assistant direct from option 2, the split option
6. Install the resulting PKG as usual and try

PS3.cpk all files are less than 4gb.

That is good news.
Now comes the most tedious part and is to create the PKGs, and then, try if it will work!
I can notice in your patch root that the CPK extraction create a folder called ps3_cpk_unpacked. Take the content of the whole folder and place it DIRECTLY inside the USDIR.
Once the ps3_cpk_unpacked is empty, you can safely erase it.
AFTER THAT, you can continue with the split patch with the assistant.

Just so you know, you can just press printscreen on your keyboard to take a screenshot, paste it into any image editor like paint.

Well, there is a file that the split program can't handle. I think it is cache.cpk, but do a manual verification.
If you can't find that file, try with cache.cpk.

EDIT: Also remember to vanish the original .cpk file that you extracted.

Cool!
Tell us how it went. In case it does not work, you still have one shot with a modified EBOOT.BIN. However, you may have to request support in other forums in order to look for that file, or to find someone who can mood the file so it reads the game content directly from the root folder instead of the package.

You need to install all the PKGs, and then, the main PKG as this one should have some special files.

ALSO, remember you do some modifications to the game files; if I were you, I WOULD TOTALLY AVOID TO GO ONLINE WITH THAT GAME ON THE PS3 HDD OR WITH ANY TRACE!!! It is better to stay safe than get banned
