How to ACTIVE download content (DLC) ????

**xxo** · 12-10-2010,01:29 PM

Hi guys,

I just downloaded a game update patch: FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4 V1.03
and installed it via USB and .pkg file.

I can see the new boxers and arena- but all of them are "locked".
I have to activate them via PSN.

Is there any other way to get it activated?
I mean, I cannot login to PSN with Firmware 3.41.

Cheers,
xxo

Nope, not unless another PSN bypass is figured out.

Upgrade to 3.50 and use the proxy trick to get PSN working. Activate your content and away you go (unless you don't own the original copy). This is assuming the proxy trick is still working and that you have a device capable of downgrading (most do now). A further issue is whether or not you have a second internal hard drive to use when downgrading back, so as to ensure your content isn't erased.

Doesn't work, for when I downgraded my console I lost all my dlc content. They're still there, but it just won't work, says that I need to renovate my psn licence.

isnt the licence/activation stored in the EBOOT.BIN ???
then there might be a way to activate it without PSN...

Here's what i did.
After downloading and activating my psn content, i made a complete backup of my ps3 through ftp this included hdd and flash.
Then i downgraded to 3.41.
I made a user with the same name as my backup.
I copied to my ps3, my entire home folder, my xregistry files, and my game folder.
After restarting, xregistry was rebuilt, i copied this back over.
After the next restart my xregistry was back to it's backup.
I forced the ps3 to rebuild its databse, by replacing, the mms folder with my backup. This froze my ps3, and the database was rebuilt. You could probably do this with the option in the recovery menu.
This rebuild made the ps3 recognise all my save games, and dlc.
I then put the act.dat, where it belongs, as it got removed again.
I now have all my dlc on 3.41, activated.
I'm pretty sure i got all neccessary steps. Have fun.
I should mention this was a slim, so some steps may change for a phat model. Also, you will need to replace the act.dat every boot, just like the method in this thread.

No, the license and activation is stored inside ACT.DAT on your flash. Some games have internal EDAT checks, but those are very few and far between.
