Could you please do an offline version of this software?
Like adding an argument like on the config file enabling or not downloading patch.

Sorry any word mistake.

hello, i tried to convert dark souls 2, and when it reached the npdata part i got a missing dll error. i downloaded a fix but nothing happened, and when i run make_npdata it shows the same error. also when i try to run the helper now, it doesnt recognise the PS3_GAME file. i dont really know what to do and what these all mean, i just followed a youtube tutorial.

I made a few posts about this issue over on /r/PS3Homebrew, /r/PS3Hacks and PSXHax. Got mostly no response from reddit, but did from PSXHax where I was told to come over here and post this in case I wasn't able to solve my issue.

The issue :

After converting my games with the tool (I made sure it was the latest version), copying them over to my CFW PS3 and rebuilding the database, every single one of them said "Corrupted Data". If I click the "Check" button I get something like this (This is from BF4 in this case) :
"STATUS : ERROR (Log was not saved)
Checking Unknown Data.(,"/dev_hdd0/game/Battlefield_4_(BLUS31162)")
Battlefield_4_(BLUS31162): Unsupported Directory Type(ffffffff)."

Games I've tried :

1. CoD Ghosts (BLUS31270)
2. CoD BO3 (BLES02166)
3. CoD AW (BLUS31466)
4. GTA 5 (BLES01807)
5. BF4 (BLUS31162)
6. BF3 (BLES01275)
7. Midnight Club L.A (Not the complete edition, BLES00362)

Things I've tried :

Converting and copying games over again.
Trying other games.
Switching from DEX to CEX completely (Rebug 4.81.2 REX).

I ran into a single person who had this same issue, except his issue created a log file, wouldn't let him convert from CEX to DEX, and was solved by using another CFW (Apparently he had the wrong CFW installed). Now, to my knowledge you'd only ever install D-REX Rebug versions on non-retail/dev hardware for PS3, not the normal retail versions, so I have not tried this.

I'm really lost and would just like some clarity and hopefully a fix to my problem.

Thanks in advance!

I was trying to convert Folklore (BCES00050) using your script, but it stops with the message"Title, category and App_ver missing".

I opened my param.sfo on notepad and app_ver isn't there, but version is.
I changed version to app_ver on my param.sfo and it worked.
So I think you should check for both app_ver and version strings.

Sorry if I sounded rude, English is not my first language

Best regards

Sorry but i don't know how to make the pull request :(

1- In version 3, i can launch the soft without internet but with in version 4, it requiert internet to launch it :(

2- Is it possible to make the soft offline to convert the game if i have the patch of the game ?

3- Make the soft to duplicate the game and not to delete the source folder after converting...

4- We need just one EBOOT.BIN for the patch to convert the game, why it download all patch of the game for just one EBOOT.BIN ?

Trying to check game compatibility.

Hi I’m running Windows 7 64bi npdata error about a missing .dll so I add the dll and now I get 0x00007d error click ok to exit

I found an unusual error with the xml parser but only because sony decided to use chars in their xml which are invalid in normal use like the CJK char "！" causes an error in parsing.

BLJM61149 for example errors out

Since this is most likely a very rare but annoying thing figured i would at least put this out incase it happens to someone else.

EDIT seems like an encoding error

adding G.wc.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8; to "Updates()" fixes the issue.

I have made a backup for Gran Turismo 6 (BCES01893). I have download all updates but the program indicates an error on 1.08 and 1.10. I have suppr and re-download all majs but the same error... Can you help me please ?

Is it possible to reverse the process?
Sorry for my english

Very slow download speed and no support for download managers.

When i launch the last version (v5), it tell me there is the newer version available of this program and close the programm :(

The latest release (v11) will hang on Running make_npdata ... after the window loses focus.

It stops doing anything after finishing with make_npdata, but is still responsive (ctrl+c breaks it)

(make_npdata.exe is never listed as a process)

EDIT: It seems to start again randomly on focus loss.

How do I fix this?

I'm getting an MVSCR120.dll error telling me to reinstall the program (not installed), can someone help me make meaning of this, all the research I've done so far has said to either reinstall the program which isn't an option because this isn't installed, or to reinstall my c++ redists (which I did). I'm still recieving unending errors.

OS windows 10 x64

i am not able to convert this game any fix? its wwe 2k17

The program crashes if the patch is more than 4GB
ex. Destiny_(BLUS31181)

i am having these issues lately upon converting games eventhough i already downloaded the patch... i was trying to convert the same game again due to blackscreen issues for nfs most wanted... that i should not resign it and just install through debug pkg enable... this happens on large patches but anything below 1gb seems to be success in sha1... i have a poor internet here at i dont want to download the patch again... :(

Can an option be added to the .ini file to not delete the source folder upon completion?

I was trying to build it for MacOS but stuck on this error message

I want to convert my NBA 2K17 BLES02242 (EUR) but it give me an error to move the eboot.bin

And please, make the log to not delete the source folder, make it to just duplicate the source and not delete...

This is an idea more than a issue, i wanted to convert spiderman 3, but i didn't realize later that this game doesn't have an update, soo is impossible to convert it in ofw, so that's why i want to say, a method to recognize games who are impossible to convert, pops a message saying, "this game can not be converted to ofw because there is not updates for this game", or something like that warning users the impossibility to converted some games.

i know i can check the compactibility list on internet, but a little message could save me hours of researching why spiderman 3 can not be converted.

thanks for your hard work, greatings and bye.

Hi Mate,

Fantastic work! I keep getting this error when I drag my folder over cfw2ofw helper I don't know why.

Please take a look at the screenshot.

Kind Regards.

Maybe some people like me connect to Internet using a proxy. Would it be hard for you to include this feature?

What do next?
What mean "could be untrue"?
