A Modded PS3: Your console must be running Custom Firmware (CFW) or PS3HEN (Homebrew Enabler).

Choose Standard (this scans the root of your plugged-in USB drive).

"Renew License" Error: This means the RAP file was not installed or recognized. Ensure the exdata folder on your USB is spelled correctly in lowercase and contains the correct .rap file.

Part 6: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I install this on OFW (Official Firmware)?
No. The PKG is encrypted for CFW/HEN only. OFW requires official PSN purchase.

Q: My PS3 says “Invalid PKG”. Why?
You downloaded a PS4 or PS Vita PKG. Ensure filename ends with .pkg and matches PS3 Title ID.

Q: Will this work on PS3 SuperSlim with HEN?
Yes. Enable HEN → Refresh Database → Install PKG normally. Use webMAN MOD for RAP activation.

Q: Is there a difference between PKG and Folder/ISO backup?
PKG installs directly to the HDD like a PSN title. ISOs emulate the disc drive. PKG often has slightly faster load times.

Method B: Large PKG (>4GB) via NTFS or FTP

Since the game is ~5GB, FAT32 fails. Instead:

• Option 1 – NTFS USB: Use IRISMAN → Switch to NTFS driver → Locate PKG → Press Copy → Install via IRISMAN’s built-in PKG installer.
• Option 2 – FTP: Transfer PKG to /dev_hdd0/packages/ using FileZilla → Reboot PS3 → Install via Package Manager.
