Remote play on non-remote play games for any PS3 game on PSP!

[bandit]

PS3Hax member theblacksheep has figured out how to play ANY PS3 game via “remote play” function!

Last night I backup SF4 (little did i know this has trouble seeing the controllers), ran the FTP program, lifted the SFO out, edited in in SFO editor to allow remote play. Then put the SFO file back, entered remote play and ran the modified game. Instead of showing the fail screen for trying to play a non remote play game over remote play this time it worked and we got to the same screen when loading the game properly.

in short: SFO editing games to allow remote play works.

Basically what hes saying is that, by editing the "PARAM.SFO" from the game that you just dumped onto your hard drive - and checking on the "Enable remote play" option, you will be able to play that game remotely via your PSP whether it had that option to begin with or not.

So how do you do this? Follow the tutorial below provided by PS3Exploits:

How to:

1. Dump any game of your choice to your hdd
2. Install Ps3 FTP and launch it
3. Connect via ftp and navigate to your hdd folder then to games -> LAUN12345 -> GAMEZ -> YOUR GAME ID -> PS3_GAME
4. Now copy PARAM.SFO and make a backup of it just in case
5. Download SFO Editor open the sfo and check “enable remote play”
6. Save it and then open up the FTP and transfer the modded sfo back into the PS3_GAME folder.
7. Now connect your psp in remote play and enjoy.

Sweet... I recently got a PS3 and it irked me that you can't remote play on some games... I think this is a great sign of things to come.

This is like hitting Sony around the head with a 2x4.
