TO CONVERT YOUR REGION YOU NEED TO HAVE A GAME BACK UP ON YOUR HDD. THIS TUTORIAL WILL NOT WORK IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH A DISk OR A PSN VERSION
Many modders are looking for proper instructions to convert GTAV from BLUS to BLES simply because BLES has better support and mods. So here is a tutorial to guide you step by step through the process.
Remember: Make backups of all your files that you are about to replace.
*** Yes you can also use FTP clients such as filezilla instead of the USB method. ***
1. Extract contents of the downloaded package on a USB drive (extract them in the same folder to avoid confusion).
2. Open Multiman (or equivalent) go to PS3 File manager and go to the following folder:
HDD_DEV00/GAMES/BLUS31156-[Grand Theft Auto V]/PS3_GAME/
Replace PARAM.SFO with PARAM.SFO supplied in “GAMES” folder that you have extracted on your USB Drive.
Similarly, replace “EBOOT.BIN” located in HDD_DEV00 /GAMES/ BLUS31156-[Grand Theft Auto V]/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/
With EBOOT.BIN supplied in “games” folder of your extracted package.
3. Once both files are replaced, Rename your BLUS31156-[Grand Theft Auto V] folder to
BLES01807-[Grand Theft Auto V]
Note: Write down the “BLUSXXXX” (if your BLUS version is different for any reason)as you may need it in next few steps
4. Go to HDD_DEV00/game/. Within this folder you should have two folders: BLUS31156 and BLUS31156_install
5. Copy PARAM.SFO located in “game/_install” folder from extracted package and paste it over the existing PARAM.SFO in BLUS31156_install folder.
6. Rename your BLUS31156_install folder to BLES01807_install
7. Go the BLUS31156 folder and replace PARAM.SFO with PARAM.SFO supplied in “game” folder of extracted package
8. Locate EBOOT.BIN in BLUS31156/game/USRDIR/ and replace it with EBOOT.BIN supplied in “game” folder of the extracted package.
9. Rename BLUS31156 folder to BLES01807
10. Exit File manage, Refresh and Load game through Multiman. Game will download updates and Now you should be on BLES.
Warning: All your Game saves will be lost due to the region change. You can download a BLES game save for GTA and store it on your PS3 to avoid replaying the tutorial.
***ATTENTION DEX USERS***
1. Use CEX package to convert.
2. Launch game > Go online > quit
3. Go back to multiman and replace CEX eboot with Debug Eboot (Included).
4. Now you can use TMAPI.
Download Package | Virus Scan
Note: If you are getting a 80010019 or any other incompatibility errors than follow these steps:
1. Delete update/content files from Game Data Utility.
2. Clear your game cache by using Multiman.
3. Manually update game through multiman's update function and install the new update manually.
