Not sure if anyone still visits here, but I made some discoveries in regards to the potential of MLB The Show modding on PS3. I was able to extract models/textures from MLB 09 and thought it might be cool to show it off, if anyone is interested in that. At the very least, we now know that objects/textures can be extracted. As for getting them back in-game, that's something far beyond what I'm capable of.

MLB The Show modding on PS3 COULD be possible
Hey everyone,
Not sure if anyone still visits here, but I made some discoveries in regards to the potential of MLB The Show modding on PS3. I was able to extract models/textures from MLB 09 and thought it might be cool to show it off, if anyone is interested in that. At the very least, we now know that objects/textures can be extracted. As for getting them back in-game, that's something far beyond what I'm capable of.Last edited by MauerMorneau09; 03-07-2024, 02:22 PM.Tags: None -
Re: MLB The Show modding on PS3 COULD be possible
@MauerMorneau09, Congratulations for the progress!!
I did the something similar for MLB14TS PS Vita/PSTV. I also successfully inject updated files like textures (uniforms, player faces, stadiums, logos, ...), music, schedules and a bit more.
On the other hand, I am able to edit roster files for PS Vita/PSTV. These roster updates would work as is for PS3 too! The only problem left to solve is to find the checksum algorithm that MLB14TS PS3 applies to game saves, otherwise you get an error message when loading it.
Do you mind to share the player model file from the first image?
The textures you got, look pretty similar to those from MLB14TS PS Vita. Most likely, the resolution for the PS3 version is higher.Last edited by lorak; 03-09-2024, 10:00 PM.Comment

Re: MLB The Show modding on PS3 COULD be possible
That's awesome! Sounds like you're much more educated on this stuff than I am. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to know how were you able to mod those files. My goal is to make any PS3 The Show game moddable like NCAA 14, NBA 2K, etc. I used a program called VulkanRipper to extract these, but it's limited since it can only pull what's currently loaded and it's not necessarily extracting the raw files. I included the gltf files that were extracted. I just imported those into Blender as is. If you have any ideas on where to go from here, I would love your help.
Given that you pull all those files via VulkanRipper, it most probably means that you did it by loading the game in an emulator, maybe RPCS3. In general, there are a lot of similarities in the game file structures of PS3 and PS Vita games, the main difference is that PS3 sticks to big endian and PS Vita to little endian format.
Perhaps I would be able to extract the files from a version of MLBTS for PS3 as I did with MLB14TS PS Vita, just working with the raw game files.
By the way, the 2024 update for MLB14TS PS Vita will arrive soon. Meanwhile, you can check last year's thread.Comment

Thanks for the files, I will have a look.
