How to make a .Pkg for CFW

PKG files hold Sony PlayStation 3 application and game data, much like a DVD or Blu-ray. Unlike the disc-based programs and games, the PKG file can be installed onto the PS3's internal memory. From there, it can be played without needing to insert a disc into the machine. PKG files can be created for use on any PS3 running custom firmware.
