Savegames conversion tutorial
WARNING: This option will overwrite your current savedata in dev_usbXXX, use it with caution

• Download someone else’s savegame for your game of your choice
• Put the savedata in your pendrive in “X:\PS3\SAVEDATA” (pendrive must be in FAT32)
• Put in the pendrive in the PS3
• Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > Cobra Tools > Convert Savedata
• Wait until the conversion finishes
• Once finished, copy your converted savedata throught XMB “Saved Data Utility (PS3)”
• Launch your game and load your new savedata

Creation of act.dat tutorial
WARNING: The accountID is linked to savedata and trophies, so, if your current user already have a valid accountID and you overwrite it, you will be unable to use your trophies and savedata on that account until you restore the original accountID in xRegistry.sys.

I recommend to use an empty account without trophies and savedata or an account without accountID.
To create a fake act.dat, Cobra 8.3 must be enabled, and your PS3 must have at least one account with a valid accountID and launch a game that requires a RIF/RAP license file.

Cobra will search a valid accountID in all existing accounts. If no accountID is found, act.dat will not be created.

You can create a fake accountID (like reactPSN), to do this go to Network > ★ Custom Firmware Tools > Cobra Tools and choose between “Create accountID” or “Overwrite accountID” (Be careful about the last option because if you already have a fake/real accountID it will be overwritten). It is recommended to use these options in an account that does not have an ID. The PS3 will restart if everything went well.

The tutorial would be the following:

• Download your purchased PSN game from PS Store
• Put game RAP file in “X:\exdata” or “/dev_hdd0/exdata”
• Launch your purchased PSN game
• Cobra will check if any of your PS3 accounts have accountID • Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching

If none of your accounts have a valid accountID you will need to create it. To do this log into the local PS3 account where you want to create the accountID. You can see if your current local account has an accountID choosing Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > Basic Tools > xRegistry Tools > Show accountID.

To create a faked act.dat do the following:

• Make sure Cobra 8.3 is enabled
• Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > Cobra Tools > Create accountID
• Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > Cobra Tools > Activate account
• Launch your purchased PSN game
• Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching

Now you have a faked act.dat and your local account is activated. The act.dat file works for every local account, you only need one file for all accounts.
