Split and Merge PS3 Games - Linux CLI
since the ps3 still uses fat32, we have to split files at 4gb chunks so we can transfer to the ps3 internal hard drive to install our games

For Game.ISO.0..1...2 etc. Move the files to a folder named **PS3ISO** at the root of the USB drive.
This way, the games can be played/viewed/copied from the Multiman XMB Game column with cover art before copying.
Multimans file browser (mmOS) doesnt join Game.ISO.0 files when copied. Only in the Multiman XMB.
