[Tutorial] How to get ALL the DLC in GT5 (New Method) (Fastest and Easiest Ever!)

[VoS]

No. I imagine whatever is happening here, the save game may not be in the right location on your drive, but it's hard for me to know without actually seeing for myself.

Are you sure you selected the save game section on your PS3?

It worked! I was looking at the wrong folder. Thank you so much for this wonderful walkthrough.

You're welcome! I am glad people are finding this useful! I spent a lot of time making the tutorial. Razerman deserves a lot of the love too because the editor is his and he's the one who figured this out.

does it work in 2024

Yep! As long as you’re between updates 2.10-2.17, it’ll work.

Though I recommend 2.11 above all else since the later updates removed the X2010 JP Flag Color.

Regarding some of the many values you can adjust in this nice editor; When I opened the editor earlier today I accidentally hovered the mouse cursor over some of the values in the first page, such as autodemo start interval and autodemo time limit max. Now, these are pretty harmless, thing is, I clicked on the garage, and clicked on one of my cars and two very detailed sheets with lots of different values and parameters came up. Thing is, I accidentally hovered the mouse cursor over these values and I scrolled up and down, not to try to adjust anything, just because I read very fast some of the values out of curiosity and I understand it has something to do with the game mechanics. Thing is, I didn't check whether the values actually changed (autodemo start interval and autodemo time limit max did in fact change when i had the cursor on them and performed a scroll with the scrollbar on the mouse) I saw this, and I quit the program without hitting file and save, and luckily they were reset after I opened the editor again. Now, I wonder if this is the same with those info sheets that pop up when you click on one of your cars in your garage, or if this is different and you actually have to click on them and type in new values with your keyboard, if this is the case, then I'm safe. I'm not into hybriding, I want everything pure original and is a little bit afraid that I have adjusted something without intent and knowledge

I am not entirely sure what you're talking about here, but this would be more fitting for the garage editor thread since it isn't about obtaining GT5's DLC.

It works in 1.08 version? I kinda lost all my updates of PS3 and can't get it back through download. Can i use this method to take the DLC content?

You can update your GT5 using this link bellow:

I haven't tested it on that update, so I can't guarantee this, but if you avoid adding the 2014 Corvettes since they weren't added until 2.10, theoretically it could work. You're better off updating to at least 2.10 or higher though because all the DLC was already added to the game by then so you wouldn't be missing out on anything.

I am not sure why you're unable to download the updates for the game though, but I would give it a few days. The servers for the updates might be temporarily down, which has happened before. Of course, what MCrisostomo said works as well if you have a jailbroken console.

I finally did the update. It was a modem issue, but now that's ok. Well, your tutorial did work great!!! I just want to thank you so much for all this work. Your're ****ing awesome!!!

 

[Sonygamer455]

You're welcome! I updated the FAQ's some to address questions like yours and why I recommend 2.11 above all else.

for whatever reason none of the track DLCs showed up when I installed them. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Did you ever get it to work by the way?

The DLC isnt Working

Can you please tell me what all you did when you tried it? Because I am still wanting to know if this was user error or some kind of new problem that has yet to be discovered.

So I decided to time myself today and see how long it took me to follow my own tutorial. So I turned my stopwatch on from when I went to plug my USB drive in to copy my save game, proceeded to follow my entire tutorial, then stopped it the very moment the game finished saving after redeeming all of my tickets for the DLC cars and this was the result I got:

Of course, everyone's time is going to vary because some people are going to be faster than others and I imagine if I had a faster HDD or an SSD in my PS3, it would've taken even less time than this

Still, I guess if anyone ever wondered how long it takes to get all the DLC via my tutorial, well this should give you a good estimate!

So I have a question to @Sonygamer455 :

Does this tutorial work with the Academy Edition of Gran Turismo 5?
I've recently bought one of these, and from the quick googling I've done so far, it seems like this particular version of the game already has at least some of the DLCs included... do I still need to download them or what?

I haven't installed and updated the game yet, so I just wanted to know what steps should I follow in order to unlock the most content possible before attempting to deal with this "hornet's nest"

It should, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.

If I remember right, the "included DLC's" are just voucher codes for them that have probably expired by now, so you won't be able to get them that way unfortunately. So you'll just have to follow my tutorial to get them.

Well for starters, when you decide to update the game, I recommend being on 2.11 above all else because it's generally the best update to be on. From there, you can follow my tutorial as I have written and you can find what you're looking for.

OK, thanks @Sonygamer455 !
I just wanted to know if there's any difference between the standard GT5 and this Academy Edition, I assume they're essentially the same game so your tutorial should work just fine.
I'll give your tutorial a thorough read and try it when I get the time for that, and I'll let you know how it went for me

You're welcome!

I think they pretty much are.

Sounds good! As my post above mentioned, this method really doesn't take too long to do, but I go into a lot of detail so pretty much anybody will understand how to do it.
