XMB method works from USB and card slots too.

Felt this needed a new thread to ensure it gets maximum exposure. It is possible to edit games to read from the USB.

I can only assume those who tried it and said it didn't work were getting the dev_usb000 part wrong and instead were doing dev_usb or dev_usb0.

The paths:
USB ports:
dev_usb000 (right most port)
dev_usb001 (Slims left most port)
dev_usb002
dev_usb003 (Fats left most port).

Flash cards:
dev_cf
dev_ms
dev_sd

r u saying that it's possible or that u actually made something work?????

If it works from USB then there's no reason why it shouldn't work from the card slots either. The paths are dev_cf, dev_ms and dev_sd.

Does the USB Method even make sense?
Most Backups are bigger than 4GB.

You're supposed to extract them first.

Even if you extract them, there might be files that are bigger than 4GB, and then you're screwed.

(OK, normally there aren't any files that are bigger than 4GB I think... :P

)

It's possible. In the EBOOT.BIN, patch the "DEV_BDVD" to "DEV_USB0" instead of" DEV_HDD0".

Some games still have files bigger than 4gb. even extracted.

+ You should post this after you've tested it yourself. Not post it here like it's a fact when nobody has even tried it properly (except the one guy that claimed it works).

Tiglet stop posting bullshit.
Yes sure it is possible to load games from every device! The path just needs to have the same size.

And yes when you extract something you get some smaller files. Its mostly not like there is ONE file in the package. So go and put that

in your proper place

I immediately edited my post after posting. I'm not sure how you even quoted that part.
