An CFW2OFW convert installed in Debug Package mode will not require HAN activated every play it runs just like an injected backup or DTU convert.

A Debug PKG, the default CFW2OFW output PKG from TrueAncestor_PKG_Repacker_v2.45 or make-backup-pkg, is installed with Debug Package activated.

DO NOT RESIGN with Ps3Xploit-Resigner CFW2OFW retail disc conversions (aka Debug Packages) because that's not necessary, just wastes time and power.

The CFW2OFW converted games doesnt works with splitted files, be sure to 'join' them if needed before starting the conversion, as mentioned above an IRD check will expose all this kind of problems derivated from not using the original game files.

If the result of the IRD check shows some warnings or errors it means the file is corrupted, resigned, splitted, or modifyed by other means

When converting a game that was released in physical BluRay format is recommended to verify the integrity of the game files dumped/ripped from the disc by doing a IRD check of the game files in PC with a tool like PS3-ISO-Rebuilder, or in the PS3 with ManaGunZ.

Ps3Xploit v3.0 ethanol (HAN / only 4.81 & 4.82) and Ps3Xploit v3.0.1 Hybrid Firmware (HFW / only 4.83, 4.84, 4.85 & 4.86) allows installation of the conversion Debug PKG.

Disadvantage is the PS3 HDD needs to be reformatted every transfer so adding new games bit by bit to HDD can be painful. If LIC.DAT is missing, use KDW LIC.DAT Offline Generator to create a new license although the above-listed tools generate LIC.DAT automatically.Īfter conversion, resulting game file folders are then moved through methods listed below depending on the target OFW console's firmware version:ĭata Transfer Utility (DTU) method requires two PS3 consoles, a CFW unit being the sending source and an OFW unit being the receiving target. Only games with available game updates can be converted but workarounds are found which require special handling (marked 'Exclusive Method') shown in the table Notes.
