CFW2OFW Helper is a tool that will convert a game into a format that can be injected into an OFW console using the Data Transfer Utility exploit or Backup Injection.

It can also be used on a console with CFW or PS3HEN to allow for disc versions of games to be played directly on the XMB, just like a copy from the PlayStation Store. Games converted with CFW2OFW helper can optionally be converted into an installable PKG with PS3:TrueAncestor.

Converting a Game

Download and extract "Release.zip" to a folder on your PC. Place the PS3_GAME folder of your game into the same folder, and launch "CFW2OFW Helper.exe". If your game is compatible, the application will automatically download and apply any updates, generate a LIC.DAT if needed, and edit the PARAM.SFO.

Checking Compatibility

In order for a game to be compatible with CFW2OFW, it must have game updates available. Open a command prompt in that directory (Shift + Right Click in folder → Open command prompt) and enter "CFW2OFW Helper.exe" BLUS12345, where the last argument is your title ID. If it has updates, it will report as compatible without downloading them.
