For anyone running into an error, make sure that you do NOT have the disc "open" on your pc, eject the iso so that it doesn't have the file open, then run the patcher, then Iso Tool.
Bro, you have no idea how grateful I am for your tutorial. Previously the game didn't work and trying to get it to work I got this error. After your video not only my problem is fixed, now also the game starts and I can play it without problem. Thank you very much.
For anyone who's having problems with the invalid ISO file even though u dismounted ur iso , U actually have to dismount BEFORE PATCHING IT , or else the error will pop up even if u dismounted it afterwards. If u have already patched it when it was mounted , dismount ur ISO file and patch again , U should be able to resume as usual . Hope it is of much help . 👌

You're the man. Thank you so much....... Oh and if anyone is running into the same problem as I was with ISO tools then make sure your ISO file is EJECTED before you patch it.
@@fightinggamerman1 Yea I spend about the same amount of time before I realized that I had to eject the ISO file from the drive....Funny thing is that after going through all that to play The Las Of Us, the game didn't even work lol it kept crashing because of shader problems.
@@fightinggamerman1 lol. bro if you want to look into an upgrade. build your own pc and buy the best cpu out right now. That's what i did, i ended up building a AMD 7950x build. sick experience and the performance is like a rocket ship
It actually worked! but the process is much more longer than PCSX2. I have to rewatch your video in case I'm adding a new game because I tend to forget. Thank you
Just went through this tutorial and I can tell you right now that bro got my games to work. RPCS3, like it probably was for all of you, was easily the WORST Emulator I've had to set up thus far, but I promise you that this man here WILL guide you through it the right way AND your games WILL WORK!! THIS is the Tutorial you've been looking for, those other ones that exist do not help.
thank you very much man, this tutorial is very easy and it works. I wish I didn't have to jump through these hoops to get roms to work but I am happy with the result so thank you so much
For me it refuses to acknowledge that there's an ISO file that needs to be patched (in IsoTools) as it thinks that it's not what it "should be". I don't know how else to explain it, it just gives me an error like "Invalid ISO File. This file does not contain PIC/D1/D2 data. Failed, invalid ISO \games\Lost Planet 2 (Japan, Europe) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It,Ko).iso"
you 1st show us to patch our iso first then after that you warn us that if we chose the wrong ird we will face some issues and then after that you teach us how to determine which version of ird we need to use... wow great
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! I spent 6 hours try to get Armor Core For Answer to work, downloaded the IRD file from google for the game and it worked flawlessly
HELP PLEASE! i see all the comments are great but im stuck, When i open IsoTools and select ISO crypto my ISO file doesnt pop up, and i evven tried changing the view to all file types and that said that the file was damaged?
my god, i spent hours trying to get this to work for playstation all-stars and finally was able to boot up the game just to get a black screen and now cannot launch it at all.
At the last step at ISO Crypto the remaining time keeps increasing. It started going fast at the beginning but now I am at 9 hours remaining and it keeps adding up more time. Did I do something wrong?
I had a problem. Instead of decrypting the iso file, isoTools ends up encrypting to a new iso file. I patched the iso file with the correct ird file, then opened isoTools and clicked ISO Crypto, selected the recently patched iso file and start encrypting instead of decrypting, why?
Then you probably can skip this video. Just add the game in rpcs3. Manually locating the ".PUP" file might be required later. (check the search bar at top right corner in the game folder)
Hello, good video, I would like to ask you how the procedure would be with a file (pkg), because I download games from nps browser and the file has that format (pkg), if you could help me it would be a pleasure.
it actually works but u made it so complicated. Guys all u gotta do is find the ird file and do the patcher tool thingy. after that just open the 3ky thing and decrypt. you will then see a new item ending with decrypted in the same file as your iso file. then just extract the iso file into a map and voila!
SOMEBODY HELP PLS.............. i downloaded the ps3 iso patcher but it keeps bringing me to a different loading screen than the one on the video. it asks if i want to join iso split or modify it idk what to do could someone help plssssss
don't mount the iso files before you patch the ird files into it, the ird files will not be patched into the iso and the 3k3y shows the exact same error all the time.
Hey bro at the moment that we have to use the ISO tools, almost at the end, it stays a lot of hours and it seems that never ends, does someone have an ifes how to fix this?
Thank you for your instructions and help, for me it didn't work tbh the back and forth extracting and compressing and double folders were too confusing for me personally and I don't want to waste like 10 min to try to get those ird files right and use 3 programs until I can run those old games :D it's just not worth the effort to me personally
I used a windows dual boot on my computer and have patched the correct ird to the iso file. Now when I go to ISO Crypto in 3k3y, it takes an extremely long time to decrypt like over 100 hours. I left it running for over an hour and it had only decrypted about 3mb of a 6gb file. Why is it taking so long to decrypt?
these tools only work for iso games, not operating systems, why would you need to dec it? just use rufus, and flush it to the usb in DD mode and you are done
Hey man, my serial in RPCS3 is BLExxxx, instead of BLUxxxx the xxxx numbers don't match on both IRD files, so I have no idea what to do. It is Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, so that might be the problem.
