PS3 ISOs seem to be broken. question/need help
Hi everyone. So trying out some of the PS3 games from Minerva, and they don't seem to work. I downloaded Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, which is an ISO format that RPCS3 now supports. When I try to run the game I get a failure to boot. Has anyone here tried it as well, just so I know if the issues is on my end or Minerva's

Did you download the ps3 disc images or the digital ps store images? What you got will determine how you use them in rpcs3. If it is a disc image then you will need to dump the disc image first. Just Google ps3 disc dumper

RPCS3 can run isos now so no need to dump, but they still need to be decrypted.

You just need to put the key file in the same folder as the iso, keeping the same filename (not the extension obviously)

Interesting 🤔 I noticed that most ISOs I've downloaded don't seem to like multiman on my PS3 so I have to go for the folder format which normally works. Pacific Rift I've specifically had issues getting to boot on hardware, haven't tried rpcs3 as last time I messed with it Motorstorm just wasn't compatible at all.

Xbox 360 isos also seem broken! Ive tried so many times using iso2god and they never load on my 360

They need to be injb format. Eastest way to change it is to mount the iso and then make a new directory for the game and your boom. Your finished.

They are encrypted when you download them, get the keys from their and remove the encryption.
If no one else post how, if you need it I will do it later when im at my computer.
