How do I load PSN pkg games into launchbox?

[AJGarcia9895]

Hi I just discovered that I can emulate PS3 and started loading the games into launch box. I’m having a problem with the PSN games, they don’t work once I get the pkgfiles loaded into launch box what am I doing wrong?

PKG files are installer files, they are not working game images on its own.

Thanks for the quick response.

So is there no way to load these games through launch box? I could load them just fine through the emulator but I can’t using the lunchbox interface.

"command line only accepts path to executable files to boot, it does not handle pkg/license installation, you'll have to do this manually through UI."

This post was from 2018 so things may have changed since then.

You have to point to the game's EBOOT.BIN executable for Launchbox to be able to launch that PSN game. Right click on the game's icon on RPCS3 after you installed the pkg and click on "OPEN INSTALL FOLDER", the EBOOT.BIN is inside the USRDIR folder (drag and drop it into Launchbox).

I'm currently importing my PSN games to LB, and it's exactly like explained in the posts above, install the game inside RPCS3, drag and drop the EBOOT.BIN file into LB and off you go, just remember in the last step to rename your EBOOT file, otherwise LB won't recognize it. 

Files are in emulators\ps3\dev_hdd0\game (for PSN) \disc for disc games. 

Use aldotools PS3 Game Updates to easily find the latest update files for all your games, only might have to also get a newer .rap file.

Perfect thank for your help

Old thread but it would be nice if LB added a feature like they did recently for importing PS3 disc games. Need to have this for PS3 PSN games.
