Converting PSP ISOs to PKG Files

[ErnieBall]

Where do I put the pkgs on PS3 to be ready to install on vita?

You don't put it on your vita. You have to use QCMA and define a folder for packages on your PC, this is where you place the pkg. Now refresh and restart (just to be safe) QCMA, connect your vita to your pc via USB, start package installer and select the content manager option. You should see all the pkg files that are in your packages folder and be able to install them from here.

Amazing people are reporting success, however a shame it's a bit of a convoluted process. Maybe someone can create some sort of global .rif at some point, but maybe that's absolutely impossible.
Probably not, guess all pleb like me can hope for are a CFW of some sort if Henkaku gets fully reversed and it becomes feasible.

Ok so heres how it works in kinda of a short guide

**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL REQUIREMENTS BEFORE DOING THIS**
What you will need:
Vita on firmware 3.60 running henkaku with the IDU app installed and PKG installer bubble.
Pc running QCMA and an FTP cleint Fillzilla works!
PSP with the game installed from PSN with license .rif
PKG for the PS1/VITA games you would like to install

How to make magic happen:

1) make sure you can connect to Qcma and transfer apps to the PC. ("If it prompts for a fw update rebuild the data base in recovery mode then continue")

2)Configure QCMA with a the PKG folder directory and place the .PKG file in that folder.

3)Transfer the license file from the psp to the PC. It is located at "PSP/LICENSE/xxxxx.rif" where xxxx is the game id.

4)Start up henkaku on the vita then launch the IDU app and switch to IDU mode. Then exit and shutdown the vita.

5)Plug the vita into the pc and it should power up on it's own. Now we need to get into temporary CEX mode by holding this key combo for five seconds L + R + D-Pad Up + Start .

6)Star package manager and select Content manager -> PKG file. It will begin to install the package...We are almost done now...

7)Launch Henkaku and go back to the IDU app. Clear IDU mode , exit and reboot.

8)Now launch henkaku and start molecular shell press select. That will place us in FTP MODE with an IP. Connect to the IP with a FTP program on the PC and send the .rif file from the psp to "pspemu/PSP/LICENSE".

9)EXIT AND REBOOT. Enjoy Those lost psn titles that are for some random reason not on PSN.

Big thanks to all who made this possible !!!

PKG Installer is working on 3.60 now, no need for IDU using this method. Should save some time.

... Will this work with PS1 games?

You would need to get the pkg from somewhere or run the connection through a proxy sniffer thingy to get the pkg link yourself then just grab the rif from the PSP.

Just to registered to make clear something:

This thread transformed from trying to "convert PSP isos, UMD images, to PKG" to "how to install oficial PKGs of games you already own via other than PS3" right?
