msmith Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi, some of you may have heard about the PS3 being hacked, it is now possible to dump game data from the blueray disks. GTA 4 has the same file/directory structure of the PC and I am wondering if it is possible to just open the .img file like in GTA SA. Any suggestions?

Ivan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm not sure you're supposed to talk about stuff like that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 It's very difficult, very expensive and very illegal. Chances are if you're asking these questions, you should leave well alone. If you do go for it, you won't find any support here, sincde most common PS3 hacks/mods enable users to play non original copies of the game, whereas we'd rather you support R* and use genuine software.

msmith Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 There is nothing illegal with this. All files were dumped using my original game disk. Is there a tool which I can use to open the .img file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 There is nothing illegal with this. All files were dumped using my original game disk. Read your terms and conditions. Accepting then breaking these terms is against the law. Pretty sure it's in there that you can't duplicate or distribute the files therein. Dumping the files onto your PC is duplicating the files. And again... if you're not even sure which tool to use for opening IMG files, you're probably going to end up running into a lotta problems.

Damjan Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Modding on PS3, even jailbroken one's, is not recommended.I don't see why you need to mod it now, because you can have free games as much as you want now.Given that liberty, i wouldn't mess with anything as long as i'm playing.

The Bossman Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well you COULD download free games, but then Sony will detect you've got one, or more, for free and will ban you from online, possibly an I.P ban so you can't get on PSN again. Also, even if they don't I.P ban you, their firmware updates will be frequent and will stop your freely downloaded games working. The risk is so much higher than the reward, not worth it.

Damjan Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You don't need to update with the jailbroken PS3, it gets its own updates.Not from Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Looking forward to the next GTA? Yeah me too. That's why I buy games made by quality developers such as Rockstar so they can keep making great games. You won't get any help whatsoever here about trying to mod your game.

msmith Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 How hard is to understand that I have purchased the game? I have dumped the files from the ORIGINAL disk. Now, what can I use to edit .img files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damjan Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 You can use this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 How hard is to understand that I have purchased the game? I have dumped the files from the ORIGINAL disk. Now, what can I use to edit .img files? Not very. Thats why i do understand. How about you undertand that you are violating the terms of service you agree to upon buying the game and that it is a legally punishable and enforcable offense to duplicate the files, wherever you got them from. Buying the game doesn't make duplicating its contents ok. Under any circumstances. Oh and steam, dmae, damjan, ashhat, whatever you're called this week. Don't encourage him, you know the rules.
