1) Use 7zip to compress the game's PPU folder as romName_computerName.7z (ex. Follow the steps below to use this function.
After many games are loaded, these files add up very quickly. You may now compress your PPU folder (found within the "cache" folder with a name matching your game's serial) to save additional space. I am currently testing and will post it soon. It won't make PKG files compatible, but it will allow you to run already installed games without the use of 7zip. It can be a tedious process, but it is better than forcing you to keep the game installed at all times.Įdit 2: I may have resolved the issue you are having in this latest update. About 10% of them came as PKG files and I had to go through the process of installing, testing, zipping and moving.
#Virtua fighter 5 emulator serial#
Let me know your progress.Įdit: I have many PS3 games and most are already zipped for you in the above format (the Game Serial folder is not necessary for the module to work, so it can be named anything or the zipped file can even contain the "PS3_GAME" or "USRDIR" in its root directory). Virtua Fighter 5 - Final Showdown (USA).7z as HDD game must contain: NPUB30625\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN Virtua Fighter 5 - Final Showdown (USA).7z as DISC game must contain: NPUB30625\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN Disc games can be run from outside the "dev_hdd0" folder, but HDD games cannot, so the module will create a symlink to resolve this.ĭ:\Roms\PS3\Virtua Fighter 5 - Final Showdown (USA).7z The module will automatically unzip your new file to whatever directory you specified for your 7zextraction path within the RL settings and then it will figure out the Game Serial for you ("NPUB30625" for instance) so you never need to mess with renaming anything in the future.
#Virtua fighter 5 emulator zip#
In your example, you would zip the "NPUB30625" folder and rename it to "Virtua Fighter 5 - Final Showdown (USA).7z" (used 7zip to compress in this example, well don't compress, but store instead so it unzips faster later) and move it to where you store all your other games (anywhere except the "dev_hdd0" folder otherwise it may get crowded fast). Otherwise, to use the module, you would need to go to your "dev_hdd0\disc" or "dev_hdd0\game" folders and zip each of your games into separate files and store those in your roms folder. If you have installed the game using a PKG file, then you can just run it through the RPCS3 emulator instead of using RL to load it. This module uses the already installed folder structure stored into zipped files. This module is not compatible with PKG files.
