Launch the game. The first indicator is the Main Menu. A standard copy shows only "Campaign" and "Options." A Gnarly-repacked copy with DLC will show "Trials of St. Lucia" as a selectable option on the right-hand side.
Pro-tip: To confirm further, start a New Game. When you collect your first Soul, pause the menu. If the "Relic" slot is available, the DLC is active.
Some Gnarly repacks strip the firmware to reduce file size. If you boot RPCS3 and see "No firmware found," download PS3 Firmware 4.90 (or latest) from Sony’s official site. Go to File > Install Firmware in RPCS3 and select the .PUP file.
Gnarly Repacks do not host on torrents. Search for their private DDL mirrors:

The file entry represents an illicit copy of Dante’s Inferno tailored for PC emulation. While it allows access to a game no longer readily available on modern storefronts, downloading and using this file presents security risks and violates copyright laws.
Recommendation: Users wishing to play Dante’s Inferno should seek legitimate avenues, such as purchasing a physical copy for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or PSP, and creating a personal backup for use with RPCS3. If the file is downloaded from an unauthorized source, it should be treated with extreme caution (scanned with anti-virus software, run in a sandbox environment) prior to execution.

Here is the dirty secret about Dante’s Inferno: The PlayStation 3 version was the only platform that received the full DLC treatment. The Xbox 360 and PSP versions were either lacking content or technically inferior. The "Trials of St. Lucia" DLC added a co-op and horde-mode arena where players fought waves of the damned. More importantly, it unlocked the Relics of the Inferno and additional vestments that altered gameplay significantly.
For years, if you downloaded a standard ISO of Dante’s Inferno for RPCS3, you got the base game. The DLC remained inaccessible because it required a PSN login or specific .pkg files that were hard to find and even harder to install correctly. Standard repacks often ignored the USRDIR structure required for the emulator to recognize the add-ons.
The Dark Forest DLC serves as a prologue to the main game, following Dante (voiced by Supernatural’s Mark Rolston) before he reaches the gates of Hell. It features:
The Problem: The EA servers for Dante’s Inferno were shut down years ago. If you insert a disc into a PS3 today, you cannot legally download the Dark Forest DLC unless you already owned it a decade ago.
This is where the emulation scene steps in. Preserving the DLC requires decrypting PS3 packages (.pkg files) and the Rap files (license keys). Most standard ROMs you find will only include the base game. You need a repack that injects the DLC directly into the game directory.
