With the Open Manager it's possible to rip games with files that are bigger than 4GB to an USB HDD with FAT32 file system. It splits the >4GB files automatically and joins them when transfering them back to the internal HDD.
In this way it should be possible to put downloaded games with >4GB files on the internal HDD without FTP transfer. That's what I would like to do.

This is what the Open Manager readme says:
Quote:

- Ability to copy games from bdvd to hdd0 or USB's, from hdd0 to USB's or from USB's to hdd0. It is done asking to you the destination device. It use uses asynchronous reading and writing for fast copy.

- Special support for big files in FAT: it splits files >= 4GB using .666xx fragments (if the file is name.ext, the file splits as name.ext.66600, name.ext.66601,...). This file is not bootable and it is marked using '_' as folder prefix. The file is joining when you copy it to hdd0 device


As I understand it a file with the name bigfile.xyz has to be split to parts with the names bigfile.xyz.66600, bigfile.xyz.66601, bigfile.xyz,66602, etc. I don't understand the part with the '_' folder prefix, though. Also which Windows tool can I use to split the files on the PC and how big are the parts supposed to be?

Ok to answer my own question: There is OpenSplit now! A small Java based tool for PC that does exactly what I was looking for. Smile

OpenSplit is most probably better since it makes the files automatically compatible for the OpenManager. It searches through a whole directory including all sub-directories, splits all >4GB files and renames them accordingly. It can also undo the whole process.
