Rpcs3 Wwe 2k14

[Alfie Overacre]

Heyguys, I'm sure this is a stupid question but I searched and searched and couldn't find any info about it here (or if was there, I'm such a noob that I didn't realize the answer was right there in front of me).

After having a blast modding SVR11, then regretfully leaving the PS3 custom firmware wonderland a couple years ago, I have been inspired by the modders here such as Bugsyboy, Redrooster, UndertakerWLF, Tekken, and others to get back into it. I shipped off my PS3 to have cfw installed and now I'm good to go with Rebug 4.65 and Multiman.

Last night, I backed up my 2k14 to the PS3 internal hdd and was about to start installing community DLC, but a prerequisite is to have the official DLC backs installed. No problem. I had purchased and installed those when I bought the game so I thought it would be smooth sailing but nope. I don't know why, but when I run the game from the hdd, it tells me the Game Data is corrupt and that I should delete it and relaunch the game. This same error does not occur when I run the game off the original disc though.

I suppose I could delete the game data, but I would rather not if there is any other way around this. I have tons of great stuff saved for this game and I've heard (but perhaps this isn't true?) that this year unlike previous years, Game Data stores all creations. I FTP'd all my WWE 2k14 data to my computer and I could rebuild a save but surely there's an easier way. Surely I'm just missing something simple, right?

UPDATE: Now we're cookin'! I decided to take a risk and just delete my 2k14 Game Data and if it deleted my caws as well, then just build a new save with them later since I have the .cas files backed up. I deleted the Game Data and reinstalled the official DLC, booted up the game and everything is intact and running off the HDD. Now time to add some community DLC and get down to bid'ness!

I read the GameEx posts in the forum as well. However, I also read some posts on another emulation site dated 2020 that state that RPCS3 is not compatible using .lnks and it's command line functionlity is pretty weak, so who knows. We can only try to see if it works. Please keep in mind that using links is kind of a jury rig for games that utilize the same file names to launch games (like eboot.bin). It is not ideal.

Now, I should also mention that I have not done any RPCS3 emulation, so I am making some assumptions. Please correct me if needed:

- Each game resides in it's own folder, eg Games\Sony Playstation 3\Alone in the Dark Inferno BLUS30232\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN .

- Games are launched using the EBOOT.BIN.

If the above is correct, try the following:

- Create a folder called PS3Links (or whatever you like) and place it somewhere that makes sense (near the games for instance).

- Go into one of the games and find the EBOOT.BIN.

- Right click the EBOOT.BIN and select CREATE SHORTCUT.

- Within that directory a new shortcut will be created called eboot.bin - shortcut.

- Rename the shortcut to the name of the game, eg Along in the Dark Inferno (this is how the game name that will appear in the GameEx list)

- I do not believe you need to include .lnk in the file name. When testing, if the game does not show up in the list, add .lnk and retest.

- Move the shortcut file to the PS3Links folder.

- In the GameEx Setup Wizard, go to your RPCS3 setup.

- Set the ROM PATH to your PS3Links folder, eg Games\Sony Playstation 3\PS3Links

- Set the ROM FILTER to *.lnk

- Set the COMMAND LINE to rpcs3.exe ""[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"" (note the double quotes)

I looked over your config and just want to confirm a few things.

1) The shortcut file for Magician resides in F:\PS3\PS3Games, correct? If not, please change the ROM path to the folder where the shortcut file resides.

2) What is the actual filename you made for the Magician shortcut file? Magician, Magician.lnk, or something else?

3) What is the full path to the eboot.bin for Magician?

4) And, just curious, what is the full name of the Magician game?

I am beginning to have the feeling that RPCS3 may have worked with shortcut (aka lnk) files at one time and that 'feature' may have been removed since 2017. I am hoping the answers to the above will help us figure that out. Even if shortcuts are not supported, there are ways to make this work (such as with a batch file or AutoHotKey script). Hopefully we don't get to that point as that will go beyond the help I can provide. Let's see what we can figure out.

one thing I noticed, if I rename the EBOOT.BIN in his respective folder, for any name..... "Potato.xyz" and point gameex in that folder with the xyz extension filter, it will launch the game with no problem. Since, all the Eboot.bin are in their respective folder, it's not a good solution. But gameex is able to launch the game, just the link file that cause a problem.

Thanks for the additional information. I can't see where the usage of the lnk files is set up incorrectly here. Maybe someone else will pop in and see something, but I am now leaning more towards the possibility that the method does not work anymore.

Step 1: Go to the official RPCS3 website to download the RPCS3 installation zip file and then unzip it. Then, in the unzipped folder, double-click the rpcs3.exe file, and then RPCS3 will launch directly. After RPCS3 is launched, you need to grant access to RPCS3 to allow it to update its data or accept other settings.

Step 3. Now, you need to get the game ROM. The game file should be in PKG or ISO format. Of course, some people may like to download NCAA 14 ISO or PKG online. In most cases, they will get a zip file. Unzip that file.

Step 6: Right-click NCAA 14 and choose Boot. RPCS3 will compile many files and then you can enjoy NCAA Football 14 on PC. The compilation is only needed when the game boots for the first time.
