How to play large game files(more than 4gb) in ps3

Split4G


Split4G is an application developed by multiMAN's author.
It allows the split of files in two different formats:
• .666xx
• .xx.part

Only .666xx is compatible with multiMAN.

Step 1. place your game folder on an NTFS partition (you can't have a big file on a FAT32 partition).

Step 2. Download and extract Split4G anywhere on your computer.


Step 3. Launch Split4G.exe and click on the first input field. Select your game folder, for example For example "X:\games\BCES-00569 - GT5".

Step 4. Click on the second input field and select the destination folder, for example "X:\games\".

Step 5. Select the "666xx" format from the drop down menu and click on Start button.
If you selected the destination folder where the original game folder is located, it will only create (add) the new split files. You will have to delete the big files manually.
If you selected another folder, all the files will be copied to the new destination, so if you select your fat32 device as destination, the game will be copied directly with split files.

Pro: Split4G can create/copy the game with split files directly to the FAT32 destination drive. You can select 666xx or xx.part files format.
Cons: Split4G can't reconstruct split files to Big files. It doesn't delete the big files and doesn't add the underscore automatically when saved to the same folder? (please let me know, I currently don't have a game with big files on my HDD to test).

I never used it. I'll add it to the tutorial after I try it, or if someone want to write this part.




Manually reconstruct Split files ¶



To manually reconstruct a game with split files you only need to copy the game from your External USB device to the internal HDD.
All split files will be reconstructed.


Step 1. Select the game located on your USB device and enter the game's sub-menu by pressing , or if you are using the XMMB layout.


Step 3. Select the "Backup / Copy" menu and press to start the transfer process.

When asked if you want to copy to internal, select yes.

Cached Split files



excl.gif To cache split files automatically, you will need at least multiMAN v2.00.01, and either BDEMU v2 or any jailbreak dongle method with Hermes v4 payload.
Caching split files will only work with a Hermes syscall8 payload, so remember that if you are using a custom firmware with an included payload (for example Waninkoko cfw3.55), then multiMAN will not load BDEMU v2 because you already have a payload in memory.
If you are using such a cfw, re-install Kmeaw cfw or any other cfw not including a native payload.


Step 1. Go to multiMAN's Settings column on the XMMB layout.

Step 2. Set the "BD-ROM Emulator" option to "Hermes (Syscall8)".
If you are not using BDEMU v2 you will only have "Unavailable" as a choice. If you are not using a Dongle, you need to install BDEMU v2 to use this functionality.

Step 3. Set the "Verify USB Games" option set to "Always" or "Auto".
This is used to verify is the game you are loading contains split files even if the game folder name doesn't start with an underscore _

Step 4. excl.gif IMPORTANT : REBOOT your PS3 now excl.gif
Your PS3 is currently running with a patched memory set to syscall36 since you launched multiMAN with BD-ROM Emulator set to "PSGroove (syscall36)".
If you run multiMAN without switching the power OFF, then it will detect an already patched memory and won't apply the new Hermes payload patch.
Switch the power off to clear the memory.

Step 5. Reload multiMAN (now the PS3 memory will be patched with Hermes Syscall8)

Step 6. Launch a game with split files and multiMAN will reconstruct and cache the split files into the internal HDD before mounting the game and will exit to XMB.
The cache files will be stored in this folder: /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/game_cache/[TITLE_ID]/

Info : You can store up to 10 reconstructed files per games.

Step 7. Launch the game from the disc icon from the XMB, or from the ★ /app_home/PS3_GAME/



Note that games with reconstructed files have a different compatibility than games fully stored on internal HDD.
Some game only works from the shortcut while other games will only work from the disc icon with a PS3 Game disc in the drive.
Some games don't work at all!
Check the compatibility list to know if you can launch your game from external with cached file or if you need to place it on your internal HDD.

------------------------------------------------------------------->>>

Deleting Game Cache:

The reconstructed files are deleted automatically when launching a game if there's no more space available on internal HDD.
In that case another game's cached files will be deleted.
If no other game's cached files can be deleted, a message will tell you that you don't have enough place on your internal HDD.


You can also manually delete ALL cached files from all games:


Step 1. Go to multiMAN's Settings column on the XMMB layout.

Step 2. Select the "clear games cache" and press to delete all the reconstructed files stored in multiMAN cache.
