Running PKG games on OFW?

[godfatherharry]

Hey guys! First, my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or one that has already been asked and answered! During the early days when the PS3 was first jailbroken (recall PSFreedom days when one could load up the PS3 in JB mode using a smartphone), I remember that when a game was made into a PKG and installed in JB wmode such that the game icon showed up on the XMB, such games could be run even in non-JB (OFW) mode. These games were probably on the internal HD. Now assuming that using the tools available, we make such PKG installations of all our backed up games and then upgrade from CFW to a newer OFW, would it be possible to play the older backups off the internal HD as well as the newer games off the original discs? Just a thought...please let me know. Cheers!

that's not posible... geohotz keys are now on a black list, so that kind of pkg will not run on OFW above 3.55

Technically, there is a white list for 3.55 apps now. That is why it would not work. Otherwise old games would not run.

just a correction at that time we installed pkgs in a mfw
the first patches by egohot and kakarotoks only added the install package
but in a pure ofw you dont have that option , aside a debug console so u cant even install them
after that was released the peek and poke option , debug options for retail consoles etc

3.41 pkg you remember working without a dongle, was working because built with 3.41 keys. If you remember, when 3.50 arrived, old pkg wasn't working anymore. Why? Because keys was different. Reason because if on 3.55CFW you attempt to create a pkg of your new game (will not work obiouvsly), then upgrade to 3.72, every pkg will stop to work. Why? Different keys, different method of check. So, your work creating pkg is just trash, on 3.72. We don't have new keys.
Did i answer you?
