To quote: Here is an updated version of the tools. earth defense force insect armageddon cfw They now handle properly SPRX files. (thanks to belmondo for the hints!)
There are few important fixes (about path with spaces and wrong byte change which may cause crashes and also fixed PARAM.SFO in RETAIL to be DG type). Don’t use previous versions I posted. This package also includes multiMAN 01.16.11 (TEST UPDATE#5) which handles properly SPRX files during SHADOW COPY.
ebootFIX now produces TWO separate folders:
One is [NPDRM] – to be used as PSN-styled game to launch from XMB (to be used with multiMAN’s shadow copy PS3 Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon iso)
The other one is [RETAIL] – it will generate the full game structure with all subfolders + all EBOOT.BIN / *.self / *.sprx files.
[NPDRM] has a PKG file to be used with multiMAN’s shadow copy.
[RETAIL] can be used to directly replace the files in your original game BACKUP.
Let me know if it works properly for you.
Short readme for ebootMOD and ebootFIX:
ebootFIX: Drag and drop a PS3 game folder to ebootFIX.exe.
For example drag&drop
X:\GAMES\MY_GAME\PS3_GAME
or
X:\GAMES\MY_GAME\PS3_GAME\USRDIR
or
X:\GAMES\MY_GAME
to ebootFIX.exe. ebootFIX processes whole game folders and produces two output folders:
[NPDRM] – folder – content ready to be installed as PSN-style XMB game:
You will find two PKG files in the folder. The tool will decrypt and sign all executables (EBOOT.BIN and other .self / .sprx files) to make them compatible with lower firmware versions. Follow the generated INSTRUCTIONS in [NPDRM] folder.
[RETAIL] – folder – all files which you can replace in your original backup copy to play the game via a Game Manager.
ebootMOD: Drag & drop a file (EBOOT.BIN, .self or .sprx) to ebootMOD.exe.Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon fix It will decrypt and sign the file to make it compatible with lower firmware versions. The generated file will be saved in the same folder with the original, prefixed with “MODIFIED_”.
More options available via command-line.
Steps are simple and anyone can manage to create PKG for any game he wishes.
1) Drag&drop PS3_GAME folder of your game to “ebootFIX.exe” application
2) You will get a ready to use PKG file
3) Install it on your PS3 and start the game from the XMB Earth_Defense_Force_Insect_Armageddon eboot.
4) Get your game on your PS3′s INTERNAL HDD
5) Start multiMAN, go to FileManager (select+start)
6) Browse to your game backup, select PS3_GAME folder and press [R3]
7) multiMAN will create some links/shadow copies for your game (no space needed)
8 ) Exit multiMAN and start the game from XMB
You can find eboot_FIX application in the first post of multiMAN’s thread. Once the Earth Defense Force eboot fixprogram completes you’ll get an instructions (.txt) file if you don’t understand the steps above – read the .txt instructions.
Example: Colin McRae Dirt (1) doesn’t work from a backup.Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon Eboot fix So if you drag&drop its PS3_GAME folder to ebootFIX.exe you’ll get two folders:

Finally, another guide from Rogero, to quote:
I have written this small tutorial on Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon eboot how this package should be used, this was tested a lot in the last few days Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon patch and is working fine with games that requires FW 3.56 where the “eboot.bin/self/sprx” files needs to be properly patched for the games to run on FW <= 3.55 (and for future versions like FW 3.60 the required keys can be added to the package and EbootFIX.exe will work fine too)
