First of all, you’ll need:
- PKG file of the game you want to convert to a game folder backup.
- PS3Tools from Aldo. A quick search on the internet and you’ll find them (http://www.aldostools.org).
- A Hexadecimal editor. For this tutorial we’ll use HexEdit.
- ODE resigner. (https://mega.nz/#!gFQ2kK6C!iNio9kCANbvU ... xZJjUGWhZk)
- Game Structure. (https://mega.nz/#!dMwh2QqY!wwxftury-ddu ... y0DGnI2Yrs)
- A PC running Windows.
- A CFW running PS3.
- And patience.
Procedure:
1.- Extract the .rar file provided somewhere on your PC.
2.- Unpack the game using PKG View 1.7 from the PS3tools.
Open the PKG Game file and extract the folders of the PKG (i.e: USRDIR, TROPDIR, etc) and every other file in the PS3_GAME folder you found on the .rar provided in this tutorial. To know if you’re doing it right: Everything in the NPUXXXX inside the PKG file should be placed in PS3_GAME in the structure provided in this guide.
If the game has a fix PKG you’ll just copy the extracted files in the PS3_GAME folder and save over the old files.

3.- Edit the PARAM.SFO file extracted with PARAM SFO Editor in PS3Tools.
Open the PARAM.SFO file and change the “HG Harddrive Game" option to “DG Disc Game”. Also Copy the name of the game (in this case NPUB30302) because you’ll need it later. Hit the save button and close.

4.- Edit the LIC.DAT file with HexEdit.
Open the LIC.DAT file in the LICDIR folder in the structure and search for a game ID and change it for the one you copied before (in this case NPUB30302). If there appears on screen a window just hit Yes. Save and close the HexEdit.

5.- Edit the PS3_DISC.SFB provided in this tutorial with PS3 DISC SFB EDIT in PS3Tools.

6.- Change the EBOOT.BIN file with the ODE resigner .
Place the EBOOT.BIN file located in the USRDIR folder in the folder where you extracted the ODE resigner provided in this tutorial (there’s even a .txt file showing you the way) and execute the “run me” file. Follow the instructions and the generated EBOOT.BIN file must be copied and overwrite the one in the USRDIR folder in the structure.
7.- Copy the structure in your External Storage (GAMEZ folder) and run it with your backup manager.
8.- Enjoy!
This was tested with a CFW 4.75 PS3 with MultiMAN 4.75. Sorry for the language I’m no native English-speaker, it was quite hard so I tried my best. I added some captures of the process placed in my MEGA cloud. I've been noticed that some games won't boot this way, so I'll list the games that worked for me using this guide:
-Helldivers
-Shovel Knight
-Crysis
Thanks to Aldo for the PS3Tools provided for this tutorial and the creators of the ODE resigner and HexEdit.
