Installing games on xmb menu

I find this post on the multiman thread. Did not try yet. If someone did, please feedback

OK Guys after lots and lots of reading this is how i got this to work - the info is all there just takes a while to grasp it all.

Update to OFW 3.55 - Google how to

Install KMEAW (Latest Version)

Install Multiman (Latest Version)

Launch Multiman

Insert Game (if locks up insert game at xmb then launch Multiman.)

Press O to backup game.

Once backed up remove game and exit Multiman

Need for Speed here is an example - all games ive tried seem to work.

================================================== ======================================
!) Delete all GAME DATA you may have on you PS3 system for "Need for Speed™ Undercover" game!

1) Open multiMAN in file manager mode on your PS3 system (press SELECT+START)
2) Browse to your game (on internal HDD) and press [R3] while PS3_GAME folder is selected - DONT OPEN PS3_GAME Just have mouse curser over it!!

3) This operation will create SHADOW copy of "Need for Speed™ Undercover" to:
--> /dev_hdd0/G/E00449
and --> /dev_hdd0/game/BLES00449

4) Exit multiMAN

THIS DOES NOT GENERATE A PKG

You need to FTP the game over to your computer BLES***** Folder

BIG TIME SAVING OPTION

You only need to copy the contents of the BLES folder and the EBOOT.BIN in the USRDIR to create the PKG

So EG

BLES*******
param.sfo etc and all other FILES in this folder from the PS3
USRDIR
ONLY need EBOOT.bin in here.

Drag that over the ebootfix.exe and it will create the PKG for the game just fine.

No need to copy the WHOLE GAME to computer.

The EBOOTFIX.EXE from Multiman MEGA package.

This WILL create the PKG Needed.

5) Copy the generated PKG file to the root folder of USB stick or USB HDD:
--> for firmwares 01.90-03.41: "[BLES00449] Need for Speed Undercover (HDD).pkg"
--> for firmwares 03.55- : "[BLES00449] Need for Speed Undercover (HDD)-FW_355.pkg"

6) Install the PKG file from [* Install package file] menu on your PS3
7) Launch the game directly from "Need for Speed™ Undercover (HDD)" icon on the [GAME] column in XMB
8) If prompted to update to newer version - cancel the update

Job Done People, i hope you find this useful.

I was wondering what files were needed to do this. Just what I as looking for. It really is a HUGE time saver not copying the whole game to the computer. Thanks for the info bud. ;)

ive done this myself just to try it, and it works, for games that normaly work, but for games like cod:mw 1&2 and time shift, it does not, just black screens like always :(

and btw, the BS games i tried where from internal, i also know that they work from external via select+x, just so yall dont start saying stuff i already know lol
:P

I noticed when I do the copy from MM, in the G/******/USRDIR folder, it gives me a MM_EBOOT.BIN folder, do I delete that?

Wow, cool. Cant wait to try this..
