Thank you again for sharing the video wiv us! Stay safe, and have a wonderful day!
I learned that if your files show up corrupted, it could be because you changed the name of any of the files. Just do exactly how this video says without anything else
The first time my levels were "corrupted" but I downloaded them again from the website, and also made sure PS3 was the only folder in the usb drive (I also had PS4 there before) so you can try that
I just attempted and it also said "corrupted" for me. Gonna delete and re-download the files, and follow the tutorial a little more closely. I extracted it in the folder itself, instead of making it the trajectory for the file. Maybe that'll change it. But also gonna do the suggestion above.
Nah this is completely broken for me, I just get corrupted files regardless of what I do. I've got a completely empty flash drive aside from the PS3/SAVEDATA folder and it's properly formatted, so it must be the files.
Create mode is my main focus on this channel, but if you want to see level gameplay, check out my second channel: youtube.com/@afrosackgpplays?si=OmUdrZsiDEAJLREJ
Anyone happen to know what that one level was, where through a glitch, you could unlock all of LBP1 and LBP2's items in prize bubbles? Hoping to use that for a friend's first playthrough in co-op.
@@afrosackgpcreates maybe these were false memories or maybe i didnt publish them idk. i made them back in 2016 or something. i cant find them even when searching my profile
I know the servers are down and this is the best you’ve got but I am still waiting for a little big planet 4 Because I’m not exactly good with making my best with computers and somehow I don’t even think this tutorial will help me
@@rosiestephens8729 Following the steps will be easier if you go slow, don't think negative thoughts, and believe in yourself. If your own confidence isn't enough, ask a friend or family member who is good with computers to help you. As for LBP4, there isn't any guarantee that will happen, but I hope it does.
Its not working for me either with multiple levels, I think its becuase the internet archive is currently being attacked by hackers latetly i’ve heard and I believe thats where the level files are being stored
When you import levels to your moon, the game shows the levels in your saved data utility, not your USB drive. Go to your USB drive and copy the level. If you see it below the USB drive icon after copying it, it should appear in game. Watch the steps again starting at 2:16.
@@afrosackgpcreates Yeah I figured it out. It wasn’t letting me upload lbp2 levels to lbp3 for some odd reason. But I was able to play them when I uploaded them to lbp2
I recently got my ps3 jailbroken and got all the multi man set-up stuff. All so I can get my old levels. Now you're telling me I could get them without that?? 😭
Question, once you have imported the LBP2 Lands on your moon, how can you get those same lands to appear on the Moon on LBP3? Weirdly enough it doesn't transfer over and remains only on the LBP2 moon.
@afrosackgpcreates Mmm that is strange, considering if I were to make a new land on LBP1/2 on my moon (without importing them) they would naturally transfer over. But hey I'm just glad to have those lands back in some way.
@@Slvdr1-Gaming If you're in LBP3, then LBP1/2 levels won't work. If your in LBP1/2, then this is a bug that happens with some levels. Try some other levels and they should work.
I did this for 100+ levels and nothing happened. But you can always backup your profile as a precaution. If you're playing modded item giveaways, those have a chance of causing corruptions.
