Play PS3 Backup Games from DVD-R

[deedie]

Play PS3 Backup game disc!

Requirements:

1) Jailbroken PS3 with Backup Manager, running v3.41 firmware!
2) Any Original Game Disc or Any Jailbroken game files
3) Nero or any similar program on your PC.
4) USB HDD

If you have your jailbroken game files skip to step 4

Step1: Launch Backup Manager and Backup the original disc to the Ext. HDD

Step2: Plug the Usb HDD to the pc and Browse to "X:/GAMEZ/[title_id] Ex. "G:/GAMEZ/BLES00188"

Step3: Copy the contents of the [TITLE_ID] DIRECTORY to New folder on your desktop
* Contents of [title_id] a)PS3_DISC.sfb B) PS3_UPDATE C)PS3_GAME

Step4: Burn the Contents of the jailbroken game to any type of disc
* Contents of [title_id] a)PS3_DISC.sfb B) PS3_UPDATE C)PS3_GAME

Step5: Insert the Disc in the Jailbroken PS3

Step6: Launch Backup Manager and load the Disk
* Note: The disc icon will not appear

Now it should launch and you can update and play without any problems!

NOTES:

1) You can use Internal Hdd and copy the files using FTP Homebrew.

2) It only can read the jailbroken games that was ripped from discs using backup manager. It can't read a game that was not backed up by backup manager.

3) If the backup manager could not read the disc, then try launching the backup manager first, then insert the disc. If this still doesn't work, insert the disc while you are at the XMB and wait until the PS3 reads it as a data disc, then launch backup manager.

4) It has been confirmed by MRelectro713 that it works with updates and saves with no problems.

5) Thanks for XsilentX help in writing my first news post!

this will only work with games that fit on dvd. but i wonder if it also works with bluray copies also

How does this work if you need an original in the drive to be able to boot ??

Does this mean that the PS3 recognises it as an official disk meaning you could burn one of the smaller backups to DVDR and use in the drive to be able to boot from the HDD instead of having an original game ??

 

[deedie]

no idea how it works.

but yes, as it says, you can burn a smaller game to disc and play it from disc

 

[pwillo1982]

What I mean is could you use a disc that you have burnt yourself in the drive to be able to boot other backups from HDD instead of having to have an original game in, still haven't been able to get hold of a PS3 to have a play with myself yet but guess the only way to find out is to try it and see lol

u mean like a swop disk method having the hack on disc

 

[pwillo1982]

Sort of but not really mate no, think people are missing my point !!!

Current method states that you have to have an original blu-ray game in the drive to boot backups from HDD.

As this method boots from the disk itself so imposible to have an original in the drive so just wondering how it actually works and if it is possible to boot games from the HDD with a backup DVDR in the drive instead of an original.

Also I know that a lot of PS3's with faulty drives will still read DVD's even though they wont read the blu-ray's so could be a way to pick one up on the cheap and just boot from the HDD with the DVDR in the drive.

there is more info on this at psx-scene.com by Jamal94

Jamal94 one of our new PSX-SCENE members, after experimenting with his PS3 and new jailbreak device, has found out that once you backup your original PS3 game via the "backup manager" to an USB HDD, and then transfer the game to your PC, and burn it onto a normal DVD-R disc (if the game is small enough!), you can then insert it back into your jailbroken PS3 and play it.

You must ask why? -- Is this news! -- The amazing thing that Jamal94 found out with his experiment is, that games that previously had major problems with game updates, save files, and not loading via your USB HDD, now play perfectly without any problems, when running via "backup manager" on a burned DVD-R!

from when this first came out i said that you would probably be able to do this.. its the same idea as burning the files of games of xbox 360 games for jtagged consoles...

an original disc is only needed to be put into drive to allow the bluray emulator to run (which is how the games on hard drive run..)

soon you will be able to burn games on dual layer dvdr/bdr

you can burn most games to a BD25 without issues, if you do have issues just strip out languages you dont want etc..
