Basic Modding FAQ Here you can find some basic information on getting started with modding the Main Series LittleBigPlanet Games.

Dumping Games To begin modding the LBP series, the initial step involves transferring our PlayStation 3 (PS3) games to our PC, a process commonly known as dumping. This process varies depending on whether the game is in physical Blu-ray disc format or digital PSN package format. For Blu-ray discs, dumping involves decrypting the Blu-ray image and extracting all contained files. Conversely, for digital games and DLCs, it entails downloading the original game (.PKG) file and generating the requisite license (.RAP) file. Dumping disc games can be accomplished using either a specialized disc drive or a jailbroken PS3, while digital games can only be dumped via a PS3.

You will need an operating system that can install JRE11 or up (e.g. Windows/Linux/MacOS); keep in mind that not all features will function properly on non-Windows devices. If your device has JRE11 or up installed, you only need to double click the Toolkit .jar file to run it. Toolkit: https://github.com/ennuo/toolkit/releases/tag/Release JDK11: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk11-archive-downloads.html If oracle doesn't work you can find JDK11 on the JDK Archive: https://jdk.java.net/archive/ Loading a Profile in Toolkit You will need to locate the BigFart file and have Toolkit up and running. In Toolkit you can load the profile by navigating to File>Load>Savedata>Big Profile and opening the bigfart file. Once the BigFart is loaded, a new tab should appear containing all of the profile's files. Loading Game Data in Toolkit You will need to locate the MAP and FArc files and have Toolkit up and running. In Toolkit you can load the MAP by navigating to File>Load>Gamedata>FileDB and the FArc files by navigating to File>Load>Gamedata>File Archive. Once all the files are loaded, a new tab should appear containing all the games files.
