God of war III (USA) (1.00) (BCUS98111) is not working on RPCS3. While the EU version works just fine.

(AFAIK, EU version is censored lot of scences, which I don't want)

I downloaded USA iso from Redump (myrient). I downloaded EU version from Gnarly Repacks.

I also updated the game to 1.03, still stops at cache compilation.

Can somebody help?

I can provide additional info if wanted and links if allowed.

Have you decrypted it? Myrient files are encrypted. You need the ird file for your release and a couple of programs to decrypt the game.

I didn't. I just extracted the ISO like any archive.

Can you provide any good guide for decrypting ROMs, please?

Get the IRD file for your release here: http://ps3.aldostools.org/ird.html

Then download these two programs:

ird_iso_patcher.exe: https://github.com/13xforever/ird-iso-patcher/releases

3k3y iso tools: https://rpcs3.net/cdn/tools/3k3y.zip

First I would advise making a backup copy of your ISO. Open the IRD file and the game ISO in the ird_iso_patcher.exe. It will apply the IRD file to your ISO. Then open the modified ISO with the IsoTools. It will create a new decrypted ISO. You can mount it or extract it, and then open it on rpcs3.
