Can anyone help with the damn "error this is not a DB or MC02 file" message for ps3?

[GSEagles001]

Is there any other way to get ps3 files to open for NCAA 14? I do not have any teambuilder teams in the dynasty. I have tried everything I can think of. I really would like to use the ps3 on this game and get the full benefit out of it but I don't know anything else to do. I'll keep messing around and maybe i get lucky.

I have read several posts on how some people still get it to work on the various editors. Some say to add the ".MC02" extension after decrypting, and some say do not add it. I have tried both methods. Neither makes a difference. still get the error message. I have been using rosters that I downloaded into the game. I will try with the game's default roster and see if that might make a difference. It has to be an MC02 file because it comes up as such and is apparently recognized as an MC02 file.

For now I am just going to play the game and mess with stuff in the game and maybe a solution will come to be.

It is most likely 1 of 2 problems.

#1. When you decrypt your file. You need to double check your bases. Make sure your destination file is correct. Make sure your decrypting the actual Dynasty you wish to mod lol. You’d be surprised that the actual file is wrong. Most important: MAKE DAMN SURE you have the correct PS3 profile with the file. Right click your Dynasty file listen I. Brute force and click “update the params with the current file”... something along those lines...

#2. When you create your Dynasty, you can either create a coach or use an existing one. BUT STARTING COACH LEVEL MUST BE LEFT DEFAULT. If you edit the coach starting level, it will always have an error in the dynasty when trying to open it with the EA D.B. Editor.

Thanks. By destination file, do you mean the entire save file? Ps3 files are broken into like 4 parts. There are 2 files, HED DATA and USR DATA. Are these the destination files you are referring to?

My ps3 is in a different room than my PC. I have to take the USB out of the PS3 and put into the PC. The PC automatically brings up the directory (it refers to my USB as "removable disc G or F". It has a PS3 folder with a sub folder called SAVEDATA. In this folder contains my save files. (ex "GSEAG19" )

Should I copy the PS3 folder from my USB to the directory that contains the editor BEFORE I go into Bruteforce to decrypt? Or should I copy it into the Bruteforce Folder? I'll try both

Thanks. I’ll check the first one. I’m pretty sure I leave starting coach level default but I will just start over and make sure it is to remove all doubt. I always use existing coach so I am 100% sure on that end .

Okay yeah cause I’ve been pissed off at it too than just reset the params.sfo to align with my new PS3 account and it worked

what editor did you get it to open with?

I know it will work because I have got it to work in the past but only with the NCAA Dynasty (purple and gold) editor. I don't think I ever got it to open with any of the EA editors that I can recall. I am going to keep experimenting with different things and if I get lucky I will let everyone know how I got it to work.

#1. what do you mean? Let's say I want to edit attributes for my UNLV dynasty. My dynasty file is called 'UNLVOCATT". This is the file I am editing, and this is the file I want to decrypt. What other file could it be?

[GSEagles001]

Re: Can anyone help with the damn "error this is not a DB or MC02 file" message for p

These are screenshots of my files in Bruteforce. As you can see, they are in the same profile that I have set up. This is the only profile I have on BruteForce.

Also, in the second picture, shows the files included within each file. There is the PARAM.SFO, and the HED DATA and USR DATA files. When I go to decrypt, it says 1 file is decryptable. I'm guessing the only decryptable file is USR DATA.

Re: Can anyone help with the damn "error this is not a DB or MC02 file" message for p

Yes, USR-DATA is the file you want to decrypt.

Did you try X-ing out the error message and clicking "refresh data"? It will usually work after that.

I don't understand this talk of copying something. The only time you should copy the file is when you copy it back onto your console.

[GSEagles001]

Re: Can anyone help with the damn "error this is not a DB or MC02 file" message for p

This editor says "Refresh view". Is that supposed to work the same as "Refresh data"?

I have tried several times with no luck. I am getting the XBOX360 version in a few days so to hell with PS3 if it won't work anymore

[GSEagles001]

Re: Can anyone help with the damn "error this is not a DB or MC02 file" message for p

The Xbox360 version came in a couple days earlier than I thought it would. Yes

Is there a way to edit Xbox360 files and then convert to PS3 to be able to open on PS3?

Yea I don’t understand. I used to be able to open and edit PS3 dynasty files with no problem. I used the purple and gold NCAA editor. I don’t know what has changed or anything. I have 360 version back now so I’m not worried about it

Re: Can anyone help with the damn &quot;error this is not a DB or MC02 file&quot; message for p

1. Open up Bruteforce
2. Navigate to the file using the browse bar at the top.
3. Once there, right click on USR-DATA to decrypt. If done correctly the bottom left box turns green.
4. Open up EA DB Editor (aka generic editor)
5. File -> Load config to select a config file that you've downloaded earlier (I like Xan's, but there are other options too.)
6. Wait until the config file opens, you know it's ready when you see a bunch of tab headers.
7. File -> Open.
8. Navigate to the save on your USB like you would any other program and open the named folder. It should appear empty.
9. On the windows explorer screen, change the file filter (drop-down menu lower right) from .MC02 to All Files.
10. Double click USR-DTA to open. The editor will usually take anywhere from several seconds to nearly a minute to open the file, depending on your computer. This is normal.

For what it's worth, op, I can't get the purple editor to open PS3 files.

So, click on the folder (ex “BLUS11359GATech” ) and then go to the drop down menu. Do not select the USR DATA file until after changing the file type to All Files? I’ll try that
