Reinstall 'Game Data' Folders Without Redownloading

[Cyberskunk]

Ok.. This one is only for the people that can make npdrm package files..

If you don't know how then I suggest a quick google search and you will see and maybe find what you need.. (Sorry can not help you there)

For those that do it is quite simple.. I will assume that in everyone's curiosity they have probally copied 'dev_hdd0/games' to their PC via FTP.. This is where you'll find your game data (updates), PSN Games and any games installed to the HDD via BD (checking the .SFO file of a particular folder will tell you what type it is).

Select the update you want to put back on your PS3

Make your package config file.. Remember that for 'Content_Type' you must use 'GameData' not 'GameExec'.. Something ike this..

Content-ID = EP0001-XXXXYYYY_00-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
K_licensee = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
DRM_Type = Free
Content_Type = GameData
PackageVersion = 01.00

Package it the same way you normally would..

The EBOOT.BIN file will not get packed with the rest of the files.. DO NOT PANIC

Install the package in Groove mode then FTP the EBOOT.BIN across to it's home on the PS3..

I've tried with two different updates and both have worked.. May even be able to apply it to your PSN games aswell.. Not sure yet..
