Before installing the PKG file, ensure your PS3 is prepared:
: At least 80 GB of free space on your internal PS3 HDD (40 GB for the PKG installer and 40 GB for the installed game).
Ensure you click "Enable HEN" every time you reboot your console before launching the game. If using CFW, re-sign the EBOOT.BIN using a tool like PS3 ISO Tools adjusted for your specific firmware version. Issue 3: Audio Discontinuous or Lagging Cutscenes
To successfully install a Final Fantasy XIII fixed PKG, ensure your console is running a modern custom firmware (like Evilnat) or the latest iteration of PS3HEN. Prerequisites
If you are dumping your own disc, as noted on Reddit , FFXIII is a dual-layer disc that can be easily scratched, leading to corrupted dumps. Ensure your disc is clean. Final Thoughts
Rebuild the PS3 database via the console's Recovery Menu. For the ultimate experience, consider upgrading your mechanical PS3 internal drive to a solid-state drive (SSD).

These must be installed in exact numerical order to properly rebuild the game directory inside the dev_hdd0/game/ folder. 2. The Game Fix / Crack PKG
If split correctly, the PS3 will see them as one file or allow sequential installation.
