Play your PS3 games from a burned disc

Image unavailable (removed by its host) Developer DeanK ( Multiman, does that ring a bell ) has just released his latest tool called discBOOT!
It converts your PS3 backups so they are compatible with Multiman's new feature that lets games start directly from a DVD or Blu Ray.
Here's his message! ( thanks to Pass_code from Logic Sunrise for the translation)
Hey guys!

Here's the little promised tool that will let you play your backups of your original PS3 games when they are burned onto DVD/DVD-RW/BD/BDRE discs.
If you're familiar with the ebootFIX tools, you won't have any problems. It will be included in the ebootFIX/MOD package in the next FULL version of Multiman.
Usage is simple and instructions are provided for when the program finishes its work:


1) Drag and drop the "PS3_GAME" folder of the backup you want to play onto the discBOOT.exe file the "PS3_GAME".

2) The tool will create a folder with 3 files:

- PKG for 3.41

- PKG for 3.55

- TXT with the instructions

3) Burn the game onto a disc (the PS3_GAME folder and the PS3_DISC.SFB file created from a backup made using Multiman or another manager).

4) Insert the burned disc into your PS3's drive.

5) Install the PKG file for your firmware on your PS3.

6) Launch the game from the newly appeared icon.



IMPORTANT: When you burn a game onto a DVD/BD disc, make sure that you use a correct backup of the game. This means that all files, as they were saved on your PS3's internal hard drive, and not the split files 0.666**, must be present. All files over 4GB must be complete and not split.



Appropriate steps to create a DVD/BD backup of a PS3 game:



1) Launch Multiman and insert the original PS3 game disc

2) Create a backup of the game to:

- If the game contains files over 4 GB -> internal hard drive

- If the game does not contain files over 4 GB -> internal or external

3) Transfer the backup to your PC (if the game contains files over 4 GB, it is possible to transfer via FTP)



At this point, you should have the PS3 game backup on your PC with all files 1:1 (no split files!)



4) Open a burning program like ImgBurn and put the PS3_GAME folder and the PS3_DISC.SFB file at the root of the compilation

5) Burn the disc

The good things that come with this:



* You can now take screenshots for all the games you play using this method (to do so, press the PS button, go to the Photo column of the XMB and select "Screenshot").

* You can listen to music from the Music column of the XMB (background music) while playing the game

* This method requires no payload - only on CFW/MFW



Reminder: Only use this method with original, legally owned PS3 games.



There is no guarantee that this method works with all games, but if you follow the instructions in this message and in the created txt file - everything should go fine.



Have fun!
