+(Optional but highly recommended)
+With these methods, the USRDIR subfolder will have an auto-generated name. For single songs and packs, it'll be OxxxxxSongName
. However, if you make a pack, the folder name will only include the first song in the pack.
+If you want to find the folder easily, it's recommended to select Custom USRDIR subfolder
instead of Combine into one new USRDIR subfolder per pack
and entering the name of your choice.
+
(Optional but highly recommended for RPCS3 users)
+RPCS3 can smash through the default maximum pack size of 4000 MiB (4.1 GB) since most computers will be running file systems that allow this (NTFS, ext4, APFS.)
+Simply change the number at the bottom left to something absurdly high like 99999
+Please do not do this on PS3 as its file system (FAT32) is limited to 4.1 GBs per folder and changing this can cause severe issues!
+
At the bottom, select the big button labeled Make pack
(or Start
if you used the Make Songs
option.)
+
Navigate to your RPCS3 folder and select the dev_hdd0
folder.
+If you\re going to be installing to a PS3 via FTP, select the most convenient folder.
+
It should successfully convert and auto-install into your RPCS3 directory, ready to play.
+If using RB3DX, you can even do this while the game is running. Within RB3, select:
+Options > Extras > Refresh Library
to reload your song list.
+
(Optional but highly recommended)
+With these methods, the USRDIR subfolder will have an auto-generated name. It'll be OxxxxxSongName
, with the SongName
being the first song in the pack.

+
Select where you would like to save the PKG file and give it a name.

+Simply install it like any other PKG.

+RPCS3 puede tener carpetas mas grandes que el tamaño que viene por defecto en Onyx (4000 MiB o 4.1 GBs). Esto es porque mayoría de computadoras usan sistemas de archivos (como NTFS, ext4 y APFS) que pueden superar el limite de FAT32.
+Simplemente, entra un numero alto como 99999
en la parte abajo a la izquierda.
+No hagas esto en PS3 porque su sistema de archivos es FAT32 y tiene un limite de 4.1 GBs por carpeta. ¡Si cambias esto, puede romper todo!

Cuando termines, tendrás las canciones en la carpeta, listas para jugar, si estas en emulador.
+Si estas en PS3, tendrás que copiar la carpeta por FTP a dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30463/USRDIR
