No. It only detects corruption. If a file fails, you must re-dump or re-download it.

Make sure you’re pointing to a .pkg , .pup , .iso , or a PS3 folder (with PS3_GAME directory). It does not verify .zip or .rar archives.

python3 pyps3checker.py ~/Games/PS3/MyGame/ If the output shows no errors, feel free to import it into RPCS3. While pyPS3Checker is excellent, it’s not the only option. Here are alternatives for Mac users:

python3 pyps3checker.py my_game.pkg The script will validate the digital signature. If it says "Digital signature: VALID" , the PKG is untouched. Many PS3 games are decrypted into folder formats like BLES00001 . Point pyPS3Checker to the folder:
