All 3.55 compatible games now discless on DEX

I've been asked a few times so thought I'd let everyone know, by using the DEX firmware BD Emulator option you can load a game onto a usb drive with ps3gen and use it the same as a retail disc then switch to BD Emulator mode and load whatever backup in multiman even discless games like Call of Duty: Black Ops. If you have any problems let me know.

Instructions: Make a ps3gen compatible partition on an external, it doesn't matter what game it is, I used a 4gb thumb drive formatted on the ps3(because ps3gen would make 4 1gb partitions instaed of 1 4gb one) and loaded SAW just because it's so small, then go to Debug settings and enable BD Emulator and chang Transfer Rate to HDD Native so the ps3 see's it as a retail disc then load whatever backup you want in multiman and it should let you run the game "discless". Let me know how it goes.

so, the ps3 seems to see saw backup as a retail disk inserted, Can this work in a HDD with 2 or more partitions?

as the instructions say, this will only work if you use ps3gen to write the game to a ps3gen formatted harddrive / usb stick, and then use the BDEMU feature on DEX. it will not work if you don't use ps3gen, and ps3gen will not work on any harddrive not formatted by ps3gen itself.

are you sure you are using the most recent version of multiman? that version should be able to dump your flash with no issues as long as you have sufficient space available on your USB drive.

also to add to amp2006's answer, ps3gen is indeed a program, an official Sony program at that, it is a program designed to let PS3 developers test out they game on the PS3 without having to burn the game to a disc for every small change, but now that we have the ability to convert our consoles to DEX we can use the program to take 3.55 or below games (with or without updates) and 3.55+ games (only with updates) and run them on the DEX PS3's BDEMU.

The BDEMU treats the backup as a retail disc and that's why you can use it to run games without an actual disc in the drive, the only problem with that it that to use BDEMU you have to use ps3gen to write the backup to a drive, and as I said earlier ps3gen will only work with drives it has formatted with its own proprietary filesystem, and it only allows you to have 4 games on the drive at a time, and only one of those games will actually be considered active, however if you follow the instructions in the first comment in this thread then you can use multiman to change what the PS3 think is contained on the ps3gen formatted drive, therefore allowing you to run all of your multiman backups discless.

Read the guide carefully, shaitan says to use a usb disc and put on it any game. just to enable the bdemu settings
