issues with external h/d recognizing games for ps3

[twoballedrider]

downloaded a game about 3 weeks ago, put it on the usb stick, downloaded it into the ps3 as back up, all went well and game works fine. issue is, downloaded 4 games for the ps3, all are in the usa region and i am in canada. files were extrated to the desk top as suppoose to be then put on to the external h/d. the external is formatted to fat32 same as the usb stick but, the 4 games i downloaded on to the external for the ps3 are not recognized in the ps3. the only game recognized on the ps3 is the 1 that was downloaded 3 weeks ago and have no issues with that 1. i transfered 1 game on to the usb stick, put it in the ps3 usb port, downloaded it to the ps3 and only did the 1 download process. i get the game up on in the internal for the ps3 using multiman with a disk in the ps3 i also have a box screen inside the game screen up on the ps3 but, when i go to play the game, all is blank, any ideas why this may be happening?

make sure your games are in a GAMEZ folder <--- spelled with a Z

well, got john dalys golf to work off the sub stick. tried that on the external hard drive and was not recognized on the external, ***asins creed 2 is recognized by the external and thats the only 1. its got me a little baffed on this. tried a bowling game, no recognition off the external. tried it with the usb stick and it recognized it in the ps3, backed up the game to the internal, got game screen up for the golf game, went to play, no go, black screen. i am using the multiman to for this.

Multiman only looks for recursive folders in the dev_usbx\GAMES and dev_hdd0\GAMES folders. Folder structure is the most important thing here... Should be dev_usbx\GAMES\BLxxxxxxx\USRDIR\ If it's not like that you won't be able to see them.
