PS3 CFW Guides: Faster load times in The last of Us

Faster load times in The last of us.
by - exofreak

The last of is one of the most speactular game of this year.
The only problem i have faced with this game is the lengthy loading times, but thats expected from a game of this scale. Having heard that the hdd runs faster than the bd drive, i downloaded the psn version of the game and tried it out my self.
The difference is astonishing, it is most definitely a better choice than the bd. The reason behind this is that hdds run faster than bd drives. Because the last of us has no game data, the entire game has to be loaded through the bd disk. Even if you pirate the game it will take longer because the ps3 will handle it as a blue ray disk despite it being loaded off the hdd.

Installation
1. Download this pkg (http://zeus.dl.playstation.net/cdn/UP9000/NPUA80960_00/kXLfyOhGFLCBFKeHDopmqkCrYKbIQIAVEBkdtiNpzIyBRebMQCkGigjAGbdyAzNCHjKITHlMLKjOZHLzNebUYyOkJkQMhFMttvVuO.pkg) and the rap (http://www.4shared.com/file/1k1J9Qn3/UP9000-NPUA80960_00-THELASTOFU.html)

2. Install pkg and apply rap via react psn

3. Launch multiman and follow the directory (dev_hdd0>game>NPUA80960>USRDIR) there is a file called digital manefest.xml, delete this file.

4. (dev_hdd0>game>NPUA80960>USRDIR>build>main>boot1) delete the files (cont.eng.dds, health-warning-usi8-en.dds, sce-presents-32-eng.dds) this is for faster boot time.

5. You have to go into your the last of us game folder and copy the files (build, data) from the USRDIR folder and past them as a link (to paste as a link, press circle in a directory and select the option) into the USRDIR folder of the NPUA80960

5. Quit multiman and start the game.

Things to note
* your saves will no longer work with psn game, And you must start a new game. You can still play your save with the bd backup.
* cheat pkgs wont work
* you can have both pkg version of the game and the bd version if you paste the files as a link in the USRDIR via multiman
* it is safe to play online with this version because it is regarded as an official game
* you can data transfer it to a ps3 with ofw
* tested on 4.46, 4.41, 4 40 Rogero and rebug
