PS3 needs to be jailbroken (try HEN PS3)
use the toolkit to convert songs to PS3 (no cherry needed)

as the super-slim can't be fully jailbroken(root access) u need to re-package the converted song (to be installed in the the appropriate Game version (EU/US) version) using PKGi ps3

there are no Free DLCs specifically for PS4(e.g. noCherub Rock) and in  general as they Are encrypted for the console "it" downloaded them

and in order to look to understand how it works them you would need a person that had his console on firmware 5.05 or earlier then bought/dowloaded a DLC then jailbroke it and extracted the .pkg song file
kinda late to find such a person now but still my only 2019 wish

Any one is able to manipulate the gamefiles to remove songs from the retail version
but No edat/psarc CDLC files are available to show how packaging/encryption/etc can be done

i do not have blus31182 only 31192 and i used disc to run rocksmith but if i put dlc to 31192 doesnt work

31192 its the folder to SOUTH PARK: THE STICK OF TRUTH/Worms Collection

hello all new to all this... do you need to have a jail broken ps3 to be able to use the custom forge songs already made in cdlc?

you can install CustomDLC (from customforge) also on any (phat, slime, super slim; for a year now) 4.82 or lower using the HAN vulnerability. no need to have it jailbroken.

please don't install 4.83 as it just became available and closed the internet browser bug allowing to install HAN http://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps3-4-83-ofw-now-live-beware-changes-impacting-han-users-stay-tuned-for-more-info.20951/

What is the version of the toolkit you used in converting?

What do you mean by doesnt start?

I.e. can you see the logo screen? Where it asks you to press Begin

As only after it actually reads the 70 songs which should take about 40sec(with a notif in the right side corner of the screen while it does)

From my exp every 4 starts the game doesnt start (black screen after pressing X in PS dashboard) but surely its just cause my aged phat PS3 but then i do a hard reset go through hardrive scan and all good after.

Try with only St. vincent then with another converted song and if it doesnt work pass it on to me to check.

From what did u convert them from (i always do Pc to PS3 conversion and i have thousands of songs workings and the uj 1% that fail at comversion and the 0.1% that dont start to play but never dont alow the game not to start)

Worse case scenario rename the game\BLU folder... start the game... see it working but dont update the gme when it asks you... then exit add st vincent plus one song in the newly automatically created game\blu ... as see from there

It s not the same arborescence

Folder PS3 GAME is not inBLUS31182....

Yes as I've mentioned ,please add it to "game" small letters , no plural.

That is the game home/saves folder.... DO NOT add it to the game structure ...folder/ISO

after you do this it will work 100%

I've DM (Direct Message) my contact details.
Or use dropbox/googlephotos/googledrive/icloud ..any service that can share the links.

Please share screenshots with the

- ​game version

- full hdd00 drive

- with "game" folder full screenshot

- and then BLU full directory tree screenshot

and my rocksmith version is ntsc Rocksmith 2014 all new remastered : Rocksmith : All New 2014 Edition (US) 

I don t know if it s important

Again thanks for your answers

i copy-pasted the PS3 version from this post (randomly) and it all works ....

Here is a set of screenshots with the "game" folder (small letters; no s; singular; in the root of PS3), game version, and proof of it working (ignore DLC1 as a backup of prev folder)

again, once this test is passed you can go download from this website any PC/MAC CustomDLC ..convert using latest Toolkit to PS3 etc.

I’ll test a ps3 CDLC from ignition and share it here later tdy.

As i ujually download them as PC then convert them myself.

But then my toolkit is a couple of months old and there was just a big new release of toolkit and maybe some bugs came with it... maybe...

do i need the original game ?

No ubisoft login required neither, or PSN connection.

I bought 15cables, and Pc and Ps4 but never a Ps3 rocksmith... game

@converting to HAN compatible console package, yes i had some issues not having an original but that’s not the topic here.

@@firekorn Don't think PS3 relies on AppID. So Cherub Rock should not be needed. @@catara can you confirm?

“Cherub Rock” Not needed (i.e. buying one Official DLC/ODLC/DLC then making sure all CDLCs have the same AppID)

But again conversion of a ODLC from Pc to PS3 is the 1way to test its at least loading as from my exp 0.1%of ODLC fail at conversion but then they dont get converted.

What is the song not appearing? Please link it from this site original post.

Reason for PS3 songs not appearing:

- wrong BLU placement of song/CDLC

- broken toolkit at conversion (first test with a proven DLC, or downloaded from this website, or converted from a PC version or DM a friend asking for such sample ...). If so download latest version for converting or ask me or a dev to investigate your CDLC creation issue.

- overlaping CDLC ID name (load the CDLC in toolkit, add an extra character in every field to make sure that not only CDLC Name/ID is diff, save to PC, convert to PS3, FTP song in the right location)

- Not waiting for the DLC scan running when starting the game and entering the Menu screen

- Ubisoft patch (unlikely, but then just delete the BLU folder completely, enter the game, dont update, let the logos play, dont press begin, ftp Copy song in newly created folder structure and manually created DLC, press begin and wait for the DLC Scan to be over)

- if DLC is a 2012 then orig PS3 versions are required, also placed in 2012 game BLU folder plus additional link files placed somewhere too, i forget where but can check my setup.

There should be no reason as to not being able to load CDLCs (unlike Mac&Pc no crack needs to be installed so assumingly it’s either a location issue or a conversion issue (e.g. weird ogg/mp3, regression issue when new features are added to the toolkit))

If needed i can screenshot things, give working examples, be avail by DM later tdy.

Depending on the version of the game you need to place them by FTP here (change ip as needed)

<Config Key="dlcm_FTP1" Value="ftp://192.168.1.14/dev_hdd0/game/BLES01862/USRDIR/DLC/"/>;

<Config Key="dlcm_FTP2" Value="ftp://192.168.1.14/dev_hdd0/game/BLUS31182/USRDIR/DLC/"/>;

FTP only works if is PS3 is jailbroken (non super slim version of the consoles and some slim ones)

For any consoles with the HAN vulnerability installed(compatible to all versions) you need to package them as DLCs for the appropiate aforementioned path

Txt me if more assitance is needed.

1. i answered a question

2. i asked for people's own dlc (to be shared by direct message/mail/etc), and if this (asking, or asking for a file bought on the ubi store) is against the rules i apologise 

2.1 again my intent was not get...but to understand the PS4 format...i.e. type of file encryption, psarc compression at packaging as i see minimal differences on json/xml level in the song.psarc file on the PS4 gamedisc

2.2 surely i would have used that info to pack my own songs, for my own use with my open source app/branch that uses the toolkit open source code in which i've invested easily 10'000h...

3. if those ODLCs would have been easy to find prb the toolkit guys would have decoded already the format and added a new conversion option for CDLCs

srry for being over-explanatory, just wanna clarify my intention... and if breaking rules set unilaterally by the moderators... all good with me..please remove my comments...it's their website

try multiple converted files ..make sure you dont have the EU version of the game as its a different BLES...

as soon as someone with a PS4 with 5.07 or lower firmware can share a CDLC as an example to understand the format (seems to be using PC like files, but then a DLC package is required to understand how to package it)

5.05 firmware is vulnerable with enough tools(FTP,DUMP,etc.) options to be able to understand and generate PS4 CDLC packages

super slim are compatible with £HAN vulnerability.
then you can make&install package with CDLCs

you install the HAN vulnerability ... then convert PC versions of songs/CDLCs tp ps3... package it and install it

if PS3 older that Super Slim an exploit is available that will jailbreak the PS3, giving you FTP access (no need to package&install just copy to game/BLUS31182/USRDIR/DLC or BLES01862)

yes ps4 5.05 (march '18; e.g. any ps4pro bundle; latest is 5.5x) is vulnerable.

if anyone is still on this version and has some bought DLCs please share the template file to understand the format.

song.psarc on the disc is 99.9% same as the PC version

Upgraded a clean install of 8.1

had the same problem...si did a java.com ..free java install...Windows Recommended Version 8 Update 51

, but note it did not convert till a full computer restart

any chance for sharing the source codes? :)
