VANQUISH .CPK Format UNCOMPRESSED / PSARC

[KuroiKami]

split it will crash. because the game only load up to where it get splitted. once it start and try to load on the next file it will crash no matter what. Since the big file mostly are movies so if anyone can downsampling it then it would be ok.

This is at least confirmed. Split can play, but will crash!
Hope this helped!

Since most people split and start it and play and say it works yeah it works, but no one have played through the whole game iin split format.

Finaly fixed !!!! I hope if anyone post in other site my tutorial give me some credit.
Use split4G to split files, use FILENAME.666** .
Install Gaia Manager v1.04.1.
Copy from usb to internal with gaia and will join the files automatically.
If you want to play with open manager copy the entire folder of Vanquish from dev_hdd/gamez/ to dev_hdd/games/oman*****/.
I think will be the same for games like gt5, killzone2, quantum theory, red dead redemption and games with +4gb files.

Not sure, but I'm positive that PS3 doesn't support NTFS and only supports FAT32 file system which only allows up to a 4gb file. What you mentioned above implies that GAIA Manager will join the split files once it's transferred into the internal hard drive? How is this possible?

Thanks, but this is useless to what the thread is about. We are trying to get the whole game to run off an external drive, not copy to the internal.

The PS3s internal drive can hold files over 4GB, but external drives cannot because they must be formatted in FAT32

I get working Vanquish from external disk, i use safeimg for split the files , then rename.

Vanquish\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\data----is the directory of the 9+gb file size.

they will generate 9 files, i dont remember the extension (something like 6600.6601.6002 i think)

rename the obtained files to :

file1) data001.cpk
file2) data001.cpk.1
file3) data001.cpk.2
file4) data001.cpk.3
file5) data001.cpk.4
file6) data001.cpk.5
file7) data001.cpk.6
file8) data001.cpk.7
file9) data001.cpk.8

And i have to say the game works great and is great.

working perfectly. i backed it up from multiman and the files were already as you described (66601, etc.) It was bugging me since i couldn't find a 4+ GB file, thanks for the info! May i ask how you figured to what they should be renamed? or was it just pc experience? :P

I was wondering..

thanks in advance!
