1. Download above file.
2. Extract the folder.
3. Put the psarc file into the folder you extracted.
4. Drag the psarc file to PSARC.exe
5. Drag the newly created psarc folder into where the psarc file was.
6. Delete the .psarc file because you don't need it anymore
7. Run it, and it should work.

For example

I have Uncharted 2 and the psarc file is in /ps3_game/USRDIR/build/main/
I would copy that to the folder where the program you downloaded is. (c:\...\Downloads\PSARC\). You would drag the psarc file to the exe and it would make a folder. I would then copy that folder to /ps3_game/USRDIR/build/main/ and delete the original .psarc file.

It's not new news exactly, but it's useful for people new to this. I have gotten several questions about this and this could hopefully clear that up. Games like Uncharted 2, GoW3/collection, all work fine if you use this method.


I might upload pics in the future; I don't have any spare PSARC files on my computer to do it at the moment. Once again, Barry fails at making titles.

I'm pretty sure Killzone 3 has a PSARC file so I'll do my tutorial with that as the basis.

n00b queston but whats a psarc file

It's a compressed folder used in PS3 games so that they can use less space on the disk. From what I know at least.

Doing Killzone 3 now, pic tut up in about half an hour.

Is this method oke for playing killzone from external hdd internal it works but external hope so

Grtzz unrealkiller

It stands for Playstation Archive file.

I didn't have problems playing Uncharted 1,2,God of War 3 / Collection anyways.

But thanks, I'll give this a shot when I'm coming into troubles.

This is so that you can play it on an external HDD. It works fine on an internal one.

ohh ok thx

Killzone 3 doesn't work. It creates multiple folders and you'll still get a black screen after the Move Sceens.
