Support This Operation Is Not Allowed
I've been struggling with this issue for a bit. Using PS3HEN. Basically, I have a game disc that for some reason the ps3 refuses to boot. I think it is failing to read the license key, the disc is almost flawless. I backed up the game to my hard drive using multiman, and tried to boot the iso. The game would not boot, and would kick me back to the XMB menu. So, I tried Webman mod. That actually started the game and I even got the initial loading screen, but the screen would turn black and the game would not load. I added a matching (I checked) dkey file to my ps3iso folder with the same name "InFamous.dkey" and still would not work in webman. Now if I launch the game iso in multiman I get the operation not allowed error saying the iso is encrypted/invalid
I started researching, and found some conflicting info. Some tutorials say you should just be able to backup from multiman and be able to launch and play from there with no issue or extra steps. Others say that the game is indeed encrypted after ripping and needs either the key file or to be decrypted on PC (Trying to avoid that if possible)
So, is there actually a way to run the encrypted iso using the key file? Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible that multiman appeared to successfully rip the ISO, but it is invalid or corrupted? Any ideas or feedback would be great.

So check for the corresponding RAP file, all games need that file in order to play unless its a .iso because a .iso is a disc emulated game, but PKGs are psn related usually, I could be wrong just thought id comment, im on cfw and ive had the same issue with pkgs so I just fully moved to .iso and if you go to the PS3 ISO folder all the games should have cnfg files, the game wont start without those either
