Time Crisis: Razing Storm is also working on 3.41 with a simple SFO edit.

After the multiple threads, and hundreds of methods, theres a simple and easy way that works on all three games that currently require 3.42. I personally just tested each one of them.

Medal of Honor
John Daly's ProStroke Golf
EA Sports MMA

Step 1) Modify the PARAM.SFO in the PS3_GAME folder for each release and change 3.42 to 3.41

Step 2) Copy the game to your external drive.

Step 3) Install the game, and allow it to update online if it prompts you to.

(*edit*) I just tried a second time after deleting all game data. This time skipping the patch process. It works completely without patching as well!


There is no need to swap EBOOT.BIN files, all these games run off external drives, and you don't need to run patches before installs. There is no reason to run "Patched" mode. They work perfectly in normal.

*The only game that requires any special attention is Medal of Honor. The BONUS content has its own installer located in \PS3_GAME\PKGDIR\ that has a file over 4gb. If you want to preserve the file, use a splitter on it. Otherwise, delete or 0byte it. Its not needed for the game.

Note : You must be using Hermes v4 payload. I tested all 3 games with OBM 1.7.2 and Gaia rc10. Also, always using a disc in the drive.

Hi! if i have a TI-84 plus calculator & a psjailbreak clone which i have no idea what chip is inside. how can i get medal of honor to work? i'm currently using the original Backup Manager. Also i'm very confused with this Hermes payload thingy not sure what it does & how to get it working with the current tools i have or tools i don't have. Sorry for the noob question cause i'm not so tech savvy.

They should work off internal as well, usually things are more compatible off internal drives.

As for editing the PARAM.SFO, i'd recommend using PS3SFOEdit.exe. I hear using something like notepad does not work.

What do you mean by install the game? Usually when I run games off my external, I just open OBM and launch the game and then start from the XMB. How exactly do I install the games? I am using Hermes4B off a TI-84 along w/ OBM 1.17. Thanks and great work!

Type, i meant launch the game. Corrected. I tested both OBM 1.7.2 and Gaia rc10, both launched all these games correctly.

Oh okay, good deal, thanks. Did you mean install game data? Because doesn't Medal of Honor have a mandatory install of around 2.8GB? Does this allow an install on the external or does it go on the internal HDD like normal? Also, will it force you to download this everytime we load the game as was reported with the other MoH patching method?

[h0bbit]

This method it installs the game data to the internal HD. And I didn't notice if it installed on the second launch, but it launched fast enough that if it did anything, it was nearly instant.
