Why Do You Need to Create PS3 Games Blu-ray disc?
PS3 games is a piece of high designed technology which contained high definition quality and superb graphic element which cost your around $50 -$200 to get one on market. If your PS3 games disc gets scratches and not able to play then you need to squeeze your wallet just to buy a brand new one to replace it.
Nowadays many people is wondering how they can make copies & backup of their favorite PS3 games. So burning PS3 games to Blu-ray disc has become a hot topic online.
In order make a backup games you need to install a software but if you want to burn a backup disc you need to required a genuine Blu-ray games burner to get the job done. Many PS3 users have taken the simple route and purchased software capable of bypassing protections to copy games. With the copy software application, PS3 user not need to installing any external modchip and get potential void your PS3 warranty. You will need to use special game copy software instead of the standard CD/DVD burning program in order to copy PS3’s more advanced Blu-ray discs.
How to Backup PS3 Games and Create PS3 Games Blu-ray Disc for Playback?
Before burning PS3 games to Blu-ray disc(BD), you need prepare the software and equipment:
- Multiman – Copy and backup PlayStation games to your computer hard drive.
- DiscBOOT (Windows application) – Backup any PS3 game to a DVD or Blu-ray disc … and not only that: discBOOT will generate two PKGs.
- Blu-ray Creator – Blu-ray creating software to burn PS3 games to your Blu-ray disc.
- Blank Blu-ray Disc: BD-25, BD-50
- Your original PS3 gaming disc
Download Base Version v04.78.03.
Part 1. Backup Your Original PS3 Games to PC with MultiMAN
Make sure you have the latest Multiman (v04.78.03) installed or else will receive a bunch of errors or a black screen when booting. Also, make sure there are no other USB drives plugged in. Only your external. Or the game will not boot.
Multiman makes a .pkj file of your ps3 game after installing it to the ps3 you can launch the game via burned dvd.
- Start multiMAN (under game), insert the original PS3 game disc.
- Select the game in multiMAN and press triangle and select Backup/Copy.
- Create a backup of the game to:
– If game contains files bigger than the FAT32 limite (4GB) -> Internal hard drive
– If game doesn’t contain files bigger than 4GB -> internal or external - Transfer the backup copy to your PC (if game contains 4GB+ files you may have to use FTP)
Note: At this point you should have the PS3 game backup on your PC with all files 1:1 (no split files!)
Part 2. DiscBOOT — Backup PS3 Game to a DVD or Blu-ray disc … and Generate two PKGs
DiscBOOT is a Windows tool, which let you backup any PS3 game to a DVD or Blu-ray disc … and not only that: discBOOT will generate two PKGs, one for 3.41 and the other for 3.55 CFW/MFW, effectively letting you play said game on your hacked console. Here is how it works:
- Download DiscBOOT and extract it on your desktop.
- Go to the folder of the game you wanna burn, and drag the PS3_GAME folder to discBoot.exe.
- Let it work its magic.
- Now you will have a folder with 2 PKGs and a txt.
– PKG for 3.41
– PKG for 3.55
– TXT with instructions (see this for more info) - Copy the PKG of your version to the root of an external HDD or a USB.
Part 3. Burn the Copied PS3 Games to Blu-ray With a Blu-ray Burning Software
- On your laptop/PC, open ImgBurn or any other burning program. Here I use Blu-ray Creator – a professional DVD/Blu-ray burning software which offers both Windows and Mac version.
- Drag the PS3_GAME folder and PS3_DISC.SFB and burn them to the disc.
- Set target before burning
Click the big 'Burn' button on top-right corner to choose your recorder drive. Choose burn to Blu-ray disc (BD25, BD50). Input the BD title by entering the Volume Label. - Burn PS3 game to Blu-ray disc
Select video game files, click the 'Create' button , then PS3 game to Blu-ray disc burning progress begin. The burning process and time can be viewable. - Insert the DVD/Blu-ray and play the game through the XMB
Download from the link as follows.
Then insert a blank DVD or Blu-ray disc into the driver.
OK! That’s all! You’ve finished the whole solution to copy, backup, and create PS3 games Blu-ray disc for playback.

Hello, in this tutorial I’ll explain how to create an ISO compatible with your PS3 in CFW. There are several programs that will let you do this like genps3iso and PS3 Iso tool. In this tutorial I will use PS3 ISO TOOL.
You will need :
- A PS3 in CFW
- A PS3 game backup
- The PS3 ISO TOOL 1.98B program that you can download here : https://www.mediafire.com/?dix17gd4zdd0j6l
How Can I Back Up A Ps3 Bd Disk On Pc
How to proceed :
- Download PS3 ISO TOOL 1.98B program and extract it.
- Put two explorer windows side by side on the screen, one on the left, the folder with the PS3 game backup, and one on the right with the PS3 ISO TOOL program. Do a drag / drop directly from the left window to the right directly into makeps3iso.exe (You have to drag the folder called for example BLESXXXXX that contains all the game files).
- It’ll automatically convert your backup into iso (leave the work, and of course, the higher your backup is heavy in weight, it will be longer to complete).
- Your backup is converted into iso
- You just have to put your iso backup with an external hard drive or via the network with FileZilla in: /dev_hdd0/PS3ISO/exemple.iso
- You can now run your iso backup from Webman.
NOTE : You can use the program in its GUI version, which means in graphical windows interface.
What can you do with it?
- Create an iso (it also allows to rename your iso, very useful example: BLESXXXXX- [Example])
- Cut an iso
- Change an iso
- Extract an iso
- Join several iso
- Patch an iso
How to install a backup in iso format a hard drive to NTFS?
An External Hard Drive in FAT32 format is not compatible with your iso backup via WEBMAN except with as backup manager such as Irisman.
We can install a backup in iso format on an external hard drive formatted in NTFS, you just need to create a folder you named “PS3ISO” (you can add, PS2ISO, PSXISO) and put your backup in iso : External HDD / PS3ISO / exemple.iso
- Then just download prepNTFS (https://www.mediafire.com/?fzq2bu6dy047ggw) and install it in your PS3.
- Run once prepNTFS from xmb. There will be a black screen (do not worry this is normal (Prepare NTFS must be launched every time you add or remove one or more backup from your external hard drive).
- Go to the menu MyGames / PLAYSTATION 3
- And you will see your backup. Start it.
- You’ll see appear under the icon MyGames a Virtual Disk Drive (Fake BR).
- Go to this icon and press X, it will launch your backup.
Enjoy !!!

My PS3 just YLOD'd. I'm hoping its just a temporary overheating issue and if I just leave it off and unplugged for the day I can get it back on long enough to eject the game disc and backup the hard drive.
From reading up on the YLOD, it sounds like this a sign that if it's not dead already it will be dead in the near future; so I've resigned myself to just buying a new PS3. My question is this:
Can I..
- Backup my old PS3 hard drive to an external hardrive
- Move the old hard drive from my 60gb PS3 (I upgraded the drive to a 640gb drive a while ago) to a PS3 slim. I know that once I insert the drive it will prompt me to reformat the drive; this should be fine since I backed up my data first.
- Restore my backup on the new PS3 and get back most of my saved data? I know some games encrypt their save data, so I might be screwed with certain games.
Is this possible?

Yes, you can backup the drive, assuming you can get it to bootup and run without getting the yellow light. Sony's User Guide on backing up states:.
Some types of backed up data can be restored on another PS3™ system. The types of data that can be restored on another system are as follows:
- Saved data from PlayStation®3 format software *1
- Image files under (Photo)
- Music files under (Music) *2
- Video files under (Video) *2
- Bookmarks added under (Internet Browser)
- Terms that were added using (Settings) > (System Settings) > [Add/Edit Term], or predictive terms that were 'learned' by the on-screen keyboard
*1 Copy-protected data cannot be restored. Also, saved data that has been restored may not be usable in some games.
*2 Does not include copyright-protected data.
Most everything should backup and restore, except copy-protectd game saves, movies, and music.
Your best bet for getting your data to the new system is to transfer the data directly from the old to the new PS3 using an ethernet cable. Again, details in the PS3 User Guide. Unfortunately, both systems have to be functional for this to work. After the transfer, any old backups will no longer work. From the user guide:
If you back up data on a PS3™ system and then transfer data to another PS3™ system using the data transfer utility, copy-prohibited saved data that is included in the backup data cannot be restored on either system.
Unfortunately, you can't just swap hard drives between systems. According to this thread requesting this feature, it looks like the PS3 encrypts the internal drive with a key that is unique to each physical system. This key can't be transferred.
Good luck!

Two ways to do this:
Get MP3 songs at Rs 4 and HD quality songs at Rs 10.Lavani is a particular dance type and the songs played in the background are termed as Lavani Songs. If you wish to soothe your mind listening to such quirky numbers from Marathi movies, just choose Marathi song download on Saregama. Marathi holi filmi songs mp3 vipmarathi. The best example is ‘Var Dhagala Lagli Kal’ that has passed on for so many decades and so many variations of this song have been created.
- Backup the whole disk with the system, registry and drivers and your games to an external hard drive, and restore the image to the new hard disk.
- Just directly clone the old hard drive to the new one with everything on it. You may also resize the partitions on the new disk.
Here's the way in which I upgraded my hard drive without reinstalling the system.

How Can I Back Up A Ps3 Bd Disk Game
Liked: 10
Hey guys,
recently my PS3 died because of some silly kids throwing milk into the ventilation holes ><. It lived for quite a while but eventually died..
Anyways the reason I am posting here (hope this is the right place) is because I want to use the PS3's BD drive on my PC.
The problem I am currently having is how to physically connect it to the PC?? The BD Drive is connected using 1 ribbon cable (assuming its for data) and a 4 pin connector (assuming its for power). How would I convert this to be usable on a PC?
Here are some pictures if interested:

Yeah sounds like it, I'm surprised the controller board is part of the drive, it's normally mounted separately in non-pc appliances. I wonder why they put a IDE controller on the drive instead of a SATA, they could have made the motherboard cheaper and smaller if they just used a SATA interface.

yea,
whatever the case, I think the pins 41 > 60 are useless for the PC. I think those pins, according to that chart I posted, are only for the LED and eject button which are not on the drive itself rather on the PS3's board. So they obviously are not part of the IDE cable.
I found a website in which someone matched up the pins to the IDE connector, should look like this according to that persons post:

Hi MohQ et al,I recently began researching this topic also, with the end result/intention of having a slot-loading blu-ray reader for my upcoming HTPC. I stumbled upon your thread after finding the Playstation 3 BD-ROM PINOUT by GodzIvan, and so far that and this is pretty much the only solid information I've found.
I completely agree that the PS3 ribbon cable is a PATA equivalent, and have put together a mapping to a 40-pin cable too:
PS3 Pin - ATA Pin (Description) |
1 - 1 (/RESET) |
2 - 2 (GND) |
3 - 3 (DD7) |
4 - 4 (DD8) |
5 - 5 (DD6) |
6 - 6 (DD9) |
7 - 7 (DD5) |
8 - 8 (DD10) |
9 - 9 (DD4) |
10 - 10 (DD11) |
11 - 11 (DD3) |
12 - 12 (DD12) |
13 - 13 (DD2) |
14 - 14 (DD13) |
15 - 15 (DD1) |
16 - 16 (DD14) |
17 - 17 (DD0) |
18 - 18 (DD15) |
19 - 19 (GND) |
- 20 () |
20 - 21 (DMARQ) |
21 - 22 (GND) |
22 - 23 (/DIOW) |
23 - 24 (GND) |
24 - 25 (/DIOR) |
25 - 26 (GND) |
26 - 27 (IORDY) |
27 - 28 (SPSYNC:CSEL) |
28 - 29 (/DMACK) |
29 - 30 (GND) |
30 - 31 (INTRQ) |
31 - 32 (/IOCS16) |
32 - 33 (DA1) |
33 - 34 (PDIAG) |
34 - 35 (DA0) |
35 - 36 (DA2) |
36 - 37 (/IDE_CS0) |
37 - 38 (/IDE_CS1) |
50 - 39 (LED) |
38 - 40 (GND) |
So yeah, pretty much identical to what you found/discovered. Pin 20 is 'blank' because that is the missing pin in the ATA block, and pin 39 is the LED, which is found on the PS3 at pin 50. That's pretty much the only difference.
I'm trying to locate a busted up PS3 with a working BD-ROM drive now. I figure the power won't be a problem, as it looks like a pretty standard connection. I'm not sure how to hook the eject pin up though, and whether any of 51-60 would be necessary to get that button working correctly.. Possibly.
Agreed that attaching an ATA 40-pin IDE cable might not be that easy, would there be a possibility of moving the mobo connector from the PS3 into a PCB of some sort which just has connections from the relevant locations to a Female IDE connector?
I'm really hoping *someone* works out how to get it working, as a slot loading BD drive would be pretty awesome, especially (mostly, only?) HTPC-wise, and for some reason they seem pretty much non-existent.
Cheers!

No you can not do it PC use IDE or sata2 1.5mbps PS3 dose not use either, And there no power cable socket to, The Computer will not see the Drive in the bios if you got it all working anyway.

I'm sorry but this post just seems very uninformed and is wholly unhelpful.
Firstly, PATA is the 'new name' for IDE, basically. Check here on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Advanced_Technology_Attachment
(I can't post the proper link as I have less than 3 posts)
IDE = ATA = Parallel ATA aka PATA
As stated above it strongly appears that the BD drive uses PATA, just not with the same connector. It needs an adapter to be able to be used in an IDE port on a PC, that much is obvious.
And the power cable would need an adapter also, not incredibly difficult (not as difficult as the IDE adapter).
You say 'The Computer will not see the Drive in the bios if you got it all working anyway.'.. what evidence do you have to support this? Even if you are correct, firmware upgrades can fix that issue, but it would be best to get the adapter for IDE and plug it in before throwing the whole idea out because it 'might' not want to talk to a PC.
I'm happy to engage in proper discussion about the whole idea, but if you aren't planning on giving evidence for your arguments then I intend to ignore your posts in the future as they come across very troll-like.
Cheers,
Max

I know very little on PS3 BD rom. I don't see why it's that hard to connect it to a computer if you do indeed have all the correct pin info. Can't you just get a cable manufacture to make a set based on you pin outs? If not, dont see how it's all that difficult to make your own cable, but more time consuming to connect modify each wire.

I'm actually going to apologize as well for resurrecting the dead, but I'm looking for some more info on this, if anyone ever made any progress. My ps3 recently died, but the drive still seems to work; coincidentally, the dvd drive in my computer died about two months prior, and i'd love to either replace the drive in my computer or set up the ps3 drive in an enclosure. This is the first thread that I've found (after admittedly not a ton of searching) that provides actually useful info (I just don't know how to use it!); everything else I've found resembles 'hdblu's' useless response. anyway, if there's any more info or if someone can point me somewhere, I'd be very grateful.

I've been watching this thread for some time as my original 'fat' PS3 YLOD'd a while ago and I wanted to at least salvage a perfectly good blu-ray drive.
After much searching and reading I finally found some other useful links, which I will post here in the hopes that others who find this forum thread as I did will have a place to go from here.
Unfortunately it looks like the PS3 optical drives require encrypted firmware in the PS3 to operate, and there hasn't been much widespread success.
Here are some links for those who wish to research further:

The last page of this thread points to another newer thread and that one does the same.

I completely agree that the PS3 ribbon cable is a PATA equivalent, and have put together a mapping to a 40-pin cable too:
PS3 Pin - ATA Pin (Description) 1 - 1 (/RESET) 2 - 2 (GND) 3 - 3 (DD7) 4 - 4 (DD8) 5 - 5 (DD6) 6 - 6 (DD9) 7 - 7 (DD5) 8 - 8 (DD10) 9 - 9 (DD4) 10 - 10 (DD11) 11 - 11 (DD3) 12 - 12 (DD12) 13 - 13 (DD2) 14 - 14 (DD13) 15 - 15 (DD1) 16 - 16 (DD14) 17 - 17 (DD0) 18 - 18 (DD15) 19 - 19 (GND) - 20 () 20 - 21 (DMARQ) 21 - 22 (GND) 22 - 23 (/DIOW) 23 - 24 (GND) 24 - 25 (/DIOR) 25 - 26 (GND) 26 - 27 (IORDY) 27 - 28 (SPSYNC:CSEL) 28 - 29 (/DMACK) 29 - 30 (GND) 30 - 31 (INTRQ) 31 - 32 (/IOCS16) 32 - 33 (DA1) 33 - 34 (PDIAG) 34 - 35 (DA0) 35 - 36 (DA2) 36 - 37 (/IDE_CS0) 37 - 38 (/IDE_CS1) 50 - 39 (LED) 38 - 40 (GND)
So yeah, pretty much identical to what you found/discovered. Pin 20 is 'blank' because that is the missing pin in the ATA block, and pin 39 is the LED, which is found on the PS3 at pin 50. That's pretty much the only difference.
I'm trying to locate a busted up PS3 with a working BD-ROM drive now. I figure the power won't be a problem, as it looks like a pretty standard connection. I'm not sure how to hook the eject pin up though, and whether any of 51-60 would be necessary to get that button working correctly.. Possibly.
Agreed that attaching an ATA 40-pin IDE cable might not be that easy, would there be a possibility of moving the mobo connector from the PS3 into a PCB of some sort which just has connections from the relevant locations to a Female IDE connector?
I'm really hoping *someone* works out how to get it working, as a slot loading BD drive would be pretty awesome, especially (mostly, only?) HTPC-wise, and for some reason they seem pretty much non-existent.
Cheers!

so that is all mapping pinouts of ps3 and pc's ide?Tell me can i do it?thanks.

With the low price of BD drives these days, this thread is essentially obsolete and way outdated. It just seems like a lot of trouble to install a very old BD drive that has far less capabilities than current drives.
