How to Install PS3 PKG Files from exFAT & NTFS USB Drives | Large 4 GB+ PKG Support!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2020
- A major limitation of installing PKG files from a USB device on the PS3 is being forced to stick to the FAT32 file system. You typically have to take an extra step to format large drives to this, and this file system doesn't support any files larger than 4 GB in size. However thanks to a write-up posted by PSX-Place user Louay, we now have a clear cut method of installing any PKG files from exFAT or NTFS USB drives! This does not require FTP transfers, nor does it require splitting up a PKG, just copy it to the correct folder and mount it!
This method of PKG installation requires you to have either a jailbroken PS3 console running custom firmware or a console modified with PS3HEN. This video will assume you already own a modified console and have at least a basic understanding of how to navigate it. webMAN MOD and prepISO will be required in order for this to work, if you choose to follow along. Lastly, you will still need a FAT32 formatted USB drive to do the initial installations of webMAN MOD and prepISO, after that any PKG files you wish to install can be copied to an exFAT or NTFS formatted USB drive.

Hopefully this helps here and beyond!
lmfao true man same thing for me
YES!!!!!! I GOT IT TO WORK I GOT IT TO FINALLY GET THE PKG INTO THE BLUE RAY FOLDER, THE ACTUAL ANSWER IS USE NTFS LOADER THEN INSTALL WEBMAN AND VOILA I REALLY HOPE THIS SOLVES EVERYONE'S ISSUE
@@MrMario2011 is it normal to take long?using the NTFS app I mean it is black screen like you said, but it takes so long and nothing is happening the games total is 8 GB idk if it is normal 😅
@@MrMario2011 can you install pkg files on a jailbroken ps4?
Dude, again, I love your tutorials. I will 100% be making sure I give you all the credit in terms of my own content creation for future youtube videos because your tutorials have allowed me to properly record PS2 games for my videos. You're amazing. I don't see how your tutorials could be topped.
All you, dude.
@@MrMario2011hey man do I need FAT32 bcs I don't have I have 64gb usb drive and I don't have install package
@_wealthwaverider_ you can format your 64gb usb to be fat32
I love this channel. You actually break down what to do. Not many channels do that.
I try.
My dude, you're a true master. Love so much your channel, you have the best guides on youtube and every time i follow them, i know i will not have any trouble. Much appreciated, keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
I remember dabbling with this way back in like 2015 4.50ish rogero days via multiman. I totally said screw it and formatted to fat32 and used PS3splitter haha. Solid work as always my dude!
All has come a long way!
Same as me lol, ive NEVER managed to get a PKG game to work, through years of CFW and other updates. Disc rips work, ftp works, split files work but for some reason game PKGs elude me and ps3
You always have the right video, respect.
Omg thank you for this your videos are so helpful! I wondered why there was a "PKG" and a "packages" folder. Your how-tos are straight forward but also with enough extra detail and explanation without overdoing it. I installed hen on my ps3 and have had quite the learning curve doing everything.
I'm trying to condense my number of consoles by making them able to play games for more than one system and so now I can play most of my ps2 ganes on ps3!
@Shelby Spider quite!
Pkg is for packages
PacKaGes
thanks a ton man, whenever I hit a dead end with my ps3, you are always there to help out
So, i linked this video already to someone who need your tutorial aid.
nice one mate, i'm glad i bookmarked it :)
Legend!
It's time to sub-deedoo! Great tutorial man! I was getting SO frustrated with the pkg splitters that didn't work properly and the Linker method which requires a LAN cable...
Thanks a bunch :D
I figured most people wouldn't want to go that route!
You are a legend bro I tried many tutorials on how to install but literally all of them were confusing and then I found your vid explaining all the steps clearly!
Glad to hear that!
Finally, I was able to transfer large files without dividing them. Thank you, your friend from Iraq 🌹❤️
thanks for the vid, it really helped out. just a heads-up, if your pkg file crashes from webman when loading. (I'm currently running Rebug cfw) you need to disable auto install pkg files from the webman setup page
Let's go bro! Thank you!
You're welcome!
excellent tutorial sir...this saved me a lot of time installing games in my ps3. Wish it was like the PS4 but sad its sony who restricted lots of things on PS3 console but this method is the best
By far the best channel. dont ever stop making videos
thanks man i really love you tutorials. you saved me from hours of splitting pkgs
That's the plan!

Thank a lot. Good presentation and good walkthrough easy to apply step by step just a note with a USB NTFS formatted it didn't work but after using the ExFAt file system it works GREAT thank you so much!
You are the hero I always learn new things about my Jailbroken PS3 just following your tutorials.
al salam alykom ya yassin did you mean ntfs not working but exfat is working good???
ive slowly dipped my ps3 into the hen world and im adding new things by the day Thanks to your precise instructions
cheers may god bless ya
This quote is from the forum: "Get an NTFS drive so you can place a full, unsplit PKG on it and plug it in. Open up Irisman, hit start and Tools then File Manager. Find your PKG, press Square and choose Mount + Exit. You'll be taken back to the XMB and your PKG will show up in the Install PKG section like normal." I have done it yesterday and its much simpler. Just mount the pkg then install through xmb. When i loaded irishman again then closed it the pkg got unmounted. so no extra/ dulicate space occupied.
Does Irishman work on hen?
@@SWAGGER573 yes it works
I'll try that method thankyou
what about rap files?
i was install game using irisman because,when i install prepiso i dont have a bluray and dvd option,but now i have licence problem i have all needed licence on usb but still not working
When I saw my ps3 fan so fast, then I went on a panic mode, but when you said its normal, I quickly went back to normal, lol
Tbh,you're one of my favorite youtuber...
thank you so much!! i was FINALLY able to install Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix on my PS3! you're awesome!!!
For those questioning about the black screen. if after a minute the screen is still black just reset the console and try again.
now I can finally play mgs4 on my ps3 thank you
Great tutorials every time. Thumbs up
Thank you! Cheers!
You deserve a million subscribe. This channel is so underrated.
Naw.
@@MrMario2011 You never respond to comments asking for help, you only respond to comments giving you praise.
@TylerTT 2 years old comment i dont necessarily agree with it any more, prolly just annoyed at the time
I've been using IrisMan to transfer them to my ps3 and then installing them, but this will save a lot of time. Thanks Mr. Mario, another awesome video. When I see them, it's on a sunday morning so sunday quickly became one of my favorite days hahaha
That's what I've been a bit confused with over comments saying to use IRISMAN. From what I know, IRISMAN requires you to transfer the PKG from your external to internal, then install it. This method installs it directly from the external drive.
Either way, thank you! That means a lot :')
@@MrMario2011 Yeah, my method for it was to transfer it through IrisMan off of my ntfs USB drive and then install it. I've only really used that method because it was the only one I could find at the time. I also have webman installed but just for the fan adjusting options and I like how clean the display is for the ps3 games, but this has made me interested in seeing what other tools there are that work with webman.
Very nice video with full explanation. But I have a question when I reach to the webman games folder in the PS3 I was not having any of the files over there 🙄I even restarted my console and followed the same steps but then also nothing appeared over there I continued this whole process two three times but I was disappointed again. I was trying to get GTA San Andreas but failed in this task. Please help me out 🙏
The only good channel on TH-cam for stuff like this
Absolute Legend🔥Thanks Bro
Bruhhhh why did I just now see this!? This would have made things so much easier yesterday 🤣
Everyone is gansta until the ps3 Gets loud
😂
This scared me like hell.
are you really giovanni giogio?

bro i did it rn, and i have my air conditioner on and still can hear my ps3 fan ong 💀
Excellent tutorial, cheers from Colombia
Soooo Know this is a bit late but love the video MrMario2011 keep it up.
I was having the issue with the hardrive only showing one PKG at a single time. I was on Exfat and copied all files at once over to the HD that was only letting me see one at a time. I went back and formatted to NTFS and copied each PkG over one at a time not selecting them all at once but one by one in to the PKG folder now my DVD folder finds all my PKG all the time no more issues.
Can you explain how do you fixed it ? I’m having the same problem :(
How come It only shows webMANSetup and doesnt show the other stuff
Wasn't surprised when i found out it's made by tunisians, this whole countries ps3"s are jailbroken after all xD
Amazing 😂
Perfect as always ❤️️❤️️❤️️
Thank you so much 😀 For both the compliment and the write-up!
@@MrMario2011 no thanks man ❤️️😀
Still perfectly relevant in August 2023. Thank you!
Hey man, great video. I'm having trouble with a particular PKG file that results in an error message with my PS# immediately freezing after the beep once the BD file is mounted. Would love your help in figuring out what's going on. Can I fix this or is the file just corrupted? This only started after updating to HFW 4.88
Edit: I tried it with other pkg files and mounting their BD files seem to have the same effect; the ps3 freezes after the beep.
Does HFW 4.88 not support doing any of these things?
I have the same issue with CFW 4.88. Did you ever get it to work?
Hey
So I have a weird problem. I have followed this tutorial before and was able to install two PS2 titles with this method. Now I am back for a third PS2 game install. I seem to have successfully installed the game, but unlike last time, no game icon shows up in the games section:S I have re-installed once already because I thought I might have missed a step, but I still can't see the game anywhere. Any idea of what's going on?
EDIT: So the problem was that I was an idiot...I apparently accidentally installed the new PS2 game over one of my previous installs, that's why it looked like there was no new game appearing in my list. Welp, time to re-install both games now XD.
thanks mario you are the king of the ps3 bro, i learned alot
Thank you very much!
This video helped me a lot!
Can you also use this method to transfer ISO and Game Folder files through a file manager or does it only work for PKG files?
Wanted to ask the same thing
Not seeing anything under webMAN games folder beyond the setup icon (no other folders below as seen at 9:56). Latest Evilnat on 4.89, with latest multiman version :(
all you gotta do is enter webman setup and press x on "config webman" then the same screen that the fans config appear, will appear then on the left corner click games, there will be the pkg file.
you earned a sub forsure man. Thank you!
thanks dude for the tut got it working i just wish there was an install all packages and wasnt so damn slow lol, also an auto turn off feature would be dope as well.
Hi! Thanks for your amazing tutorials. I have been following your instructions to the letter. However, I am not able to get the packages show up in the package installer. Any advice?
refresh
did you fix the prob ?
Thank you so muchh saving me hours of waiting w hours of gameplay :)
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! New subscriber
You are a life saver the ps1 games i just thought wouldn't install!!! That Playstation Network Content step. Had no clue! I been searching. Everyone like mine works. Im like how 😂 thank you thank you
do you know why my web man doesn’t have a blue ray option can someone please help me?🙏
Will there be issue if there are multiple partitions on the drive? I've follwed the instructions but it won't find the PKG files :(
I have an external HDD with 3 partitions on it, I just put all the games I wanted into the folder and they were found. So I don't think it matters, just make sure the folder is in uppercase and not mixed or lower PKG. Hope this helps
Second video and all worked.Thx dudea looooot !
even tho the tutorial still too old but it is still helpful, thank you man.
The folders don't show up, only webman setup
I never knew my ps3 can get this loud
AND TO GO FURTHER BEYOND
Thanks again Mario I was able to install my first game on hen, there were a few hiccups but did some web searching and referred to your ' how to play ps2 games on hen' and managed to sort it out now I'm going to start buying my collections to add to my ps3.
I'm going to leave some tips based on my experience, keep in mind I'm still fresh to this.
1) My first issue was my pc dvd drive was busted so I had to use another to burn my ps2 game into iso format onto my usb. I used imgburn but my game (valkyrie proflie 2) is over 4gb and will only go into '.100 file' format, you need to format your usb to exFAT or NTFS to get iso format on your usb just like mario did here. Just a minor issue lol but thats what helped me.
2) Next is prepiso not reading my usb that I format to NTFS with my game pkg. Like mario said you have to restart your ps3, I did five times still didn't read it so I reformatted it to exFAT and the file came up I don't know if it was 6th time a charm or because I reformatted it, either way don't give up too soon.
3) Another issue I had was the raps file needed to license the game, I didn't know where or how to get it, Mario said he had a video for it but didn't know which. But its very simple if you watch his video th-cam.com/video/Syy6HyJo8pQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MrMario2011 go through the PS2 Classics GUI and once you create a pkg it will create a rap file for you open ps2classics_GUI_2.2.3>scetool>RAPS and your raps for games are there just make your 'exdata' folder on your usb copy your rap file into it launch your game and it should work.
4)Like mario said some ps2 games run poorly so you may need a PS2 config file. I downloaded a pkg file from github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/releases it contains Ps2 config for most if not all ps2 games to help them run better not all ps2 games require one. The ps2 config pkg file should look something like this 'PS2CONFIG_20220320.pkg' just install like Mario installed the games and when you launch your game it should auto select the right config from what I read online so don't quote me.
5) finally the most important imo, after I done everything I launched my game from the xmb I played for 30 mins then my ps3 overheated. Apparently webman doesn't recognise you playing the game when you launch from the xmb so the fan doesn't kick in to keep the ps3 cool which is a must when playing ps2 games because it heats the ps3 up a lot when playing them. for reference to this issue look here www.psx-place.com/threads/is-it-safe-to-run-ps2-games-on-ps3.24963/ after checking psx-place it was recommend to keep the fan speed at a manual 40-50% I keep mine at 40% and played my game again, it stayed warm and I was playing up to an hour so this made a huge difference, yeah the fan may be a bit louder than usual but I didn't bother me whats most important is the ps3 not overheating while playing ps2 games. So at 5:17 I kept mine at manual and changed it to 40% saved and restarted the ps3, depending how hot it is you can increase the speed to help keep the ps3 cool.
Again I'm new to this, far from an expert but hope this helps anyone with similar issues.
Mine shows no network content

Glad to hear that!
