making copies of ps3 blu-ray games?I have been trying to make copies of my ps3 games so I can play them without needing the disk. Sadly I have had no luck, I have tried using the Swiss Army Knife (SAK) utility but have only gotten the ISO in 3 parts. Is there any real way to make ps3 game copies on file?

I really doubt it, making the games only work off the disc is a easy way to stop piracy.

Sony is smarter than you thought. Copying games into a hard disk is also a form of piracy. If Sony allows it to happen, then they will kill themselves. That means people don't have to buy games. They can just borrow from friends and copy it to the harddrive. The only games you can save on to your hd are the ones that you can buy directly from PS Store which are security coded so that you wont be able to share it with others for free.
Mind you, bluray discs are still unhackable these days. You may be able to copy and burn them, but they are useless as they will not work in any machine.

No.
And anything that names itself Swiss Army Knife for ps3 is being arrogant, a Swiss Army Knife is useful, something that claims to be good for copying ps3 games is useless.
It's likely that the sak is just chopping the disc up into dvd-size sections by default. If you want a blu-ray size chunk, you'll have to reconfigure sak. Good luck with that if you use windows.
But regardless of whether you manage to make a perfect .iso of a ps3 game on a 20gb image, and then burn it to a recordable blu-ray, you will still have something completely worthless. Your ps3 won't play it. It might look at it, see it's a copied game, and ban you from PSN though.
PS2's copy protection was carried out by secondary hardware that could be bypassed with hard modchips, or tricked by swap magic. The ps3's copy protection is contained in the hypervisor, and is adjustable by the firmware updates. You can't beat it with a modchip, or fool it with a swap magic.
It's possible to swap magic a 60 ntsc for ps2 games, but only because it is acting as a ps2 when you do it. It temporarily hands over control to the ps2 cpu instead. It can't be done for ps1 or ps3 games.
There may be a hard-disc based .iso loader that I haven't heard about, but it's a real quick way to get yourself banned. If you have a current firmware, it'll know you're .iso loading which is a EULA violation. Sony doesn't mind banning modders and hackers.
better to just use the disc.
