THank you for the code, I hope you see my comment...
I am new to PS3 games etc...
I only know that I have to exctract ISO file for gaming and installing into multiman, sometimes I have a pkg file of 16 Go for example of watch dog.
I want to know if I can use your script to split it? or when to use your script to split games...
Thank you!
