The bin/cue files is named as shown below, but for some reason the game is shows up in a bracket and out of order. Is there a way to correct this?
hi i've jailbroken my ps3 with evilnat multiman and webman can i still use psn services on my discs?, if yes what percausions do i have to follow, i dont intend to cause caos online obviously, i just intend to play and use youtube and so on and so forthed
Hi i was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to correctly connect to psn with a CFW ps3 all the google results i find are Ai voice videos that i don't trust, I just got my very first ps3 (CECH-2101B) which i just freshly installed evilnat 4.91.2 beta 16, i know theres always a chance of bans but just wanting to make sure i take all precautions, Thank you.
can't get access to the internet as the wifi or Bluetooth chip is damaged and ps3 is to far from a router to get connected by ethernet the controllers only connect by wire & yes im talking of dual shock 3s and i don't even know if the controllers use Bluetooth or wifi
I'm basically trying to kick modders off of black ops 2 using an rte or rtm tool. I have ccapi installed both on my ps3 and pc. They linked just fine however once I get into black ops 2 if I try to issue any command I get an error. Anybody use menus with rtm that can guide me in the right direction? Literally all I want to do is kick modders out of the game. And fix accounts.
So I got this ps3 for arround 20$. And randomly the image goes crazy (While playing or on the menu). Any tip? Some people told me I should send it to get reballed since that model usually has problem with the BGA
So I've just been getting started homebrewing my old PS3 Super Slim. I've got it up and running with PS3HEN just fine. But I'm having quite the problem here. I can't seem to install anything through the package manager. I know my storage device is recognized, I know it's in the right format, partition, all that. I see all the files in the drive on my PC. But the package manager fails to find anything.
What could I have done wrong here? I'm wondering if my choice of storage device is the issue. I am using a USB SD card reader as opposed to a USB drive. I was using a 64GB SD card, but I've also tried a smaller 2GB card, with the same result.
Any ideas?
So if i play a game (for example gta v, who's servers have been turned off) and I play for some hours, and in the middle of the trophy hunt i use apollo to unlock the online trophies (I unlock em individually during different times) will I get banned?
Trying to use it, tried woth both wired and wireless xbox 360 controllers, just previously it was working but whenever i load a game ( currently dead space 2) they both flash 2 times ( center x box button) then turn off and i cant play, it was working 2 hours ago. Any ideas?
What are the chance and how to avoid I don't play online, Just Trophy Sync because i am a Trophy Hunter I I've been paranoid about it for a while even though many people have told me that there are no problems I want to platinum Drakengard 3 without problems haha and yet I'm an idiot and I'm still scared
Hello, A lot of a begginner here, a french one by the way. I play emulated games of old retro games on android, but recently I just wanted to use my old good ps3 to play to some downloaded games, just the way I play my roms on lemuroid. How to do that ?? My ps3 isn't modded or anything.
I’m pretty new to modding having a great time but I still have minimal knowledge. What are these temps (photo attached) and what is a normal temperature and a not normal (bad) temp? lol like I said I’m still learning a lot of this is new to me and thank you in advance. I’m taking notes.
It just doesn't want to download and gives this mysterious error, does anyone know what to do?
Title. I was wondering what the best/fastest/easiest method is for upgrading my hard drive on my ps3 fat with HEN. Currently has 500 gb but it’s almost full. I am aware of the 1 tb limit the ps3 can support.
I have a collection of ps1, ps2, ps3 and psp games installed currently, all were installed using pre packaged PKG files I found online.
Which of the following options is best? Feel free to make corrections/edits on the following options if I’m incorrect or if somethings missing or something is out of order steps wise...would the licensing or anything else get messed up doing any of the following?
1.) FTP all folders and files inside the dev_hdd0 to my PC, install new hard drive, re install HEN again and then install multiman again, then FTP the copied contents of dev_hdd0 from the PC to the dev_hdd0 folder in multiman on the new hard drive.
2.) Connect an external hard drive and manually copy all folders and files inside the dev_hdd0 to the external hard drive, install new hard drive, re install HEN again and then install multiman again, then plug in external drive with copied contents of dev_hdd0, launch multiman and copy everything from the USB/external hard drive into the dev_hdd0 folder (the new hard drive)
Would it still be necessary to re install HEN and/or multiman with these methods? Since I’m literally copying every single file on the old hard drive to the new one?
Are both of these methods possible? Or is there a different method entirely that would allow me to transfer all my games (and also ideally keep my jailbreak too if possible?) what about the built in data transfer utility built into the ps3? Haven’t looked into it yet but open to any/all suggestions/tips!
Thanks
So need help here I upgraded the drive on my ps3 to ssd and now I'm unable to boot any ps2 games from the drive, before the upgrade the same games were booting just fine off the old drive. Is it cause of the speeds on the ssd ?
Hello
I had issues with the Ps3xPad. I was able to install it and use a wired controller (Xbox 360 for windows) on PS3´s home menu, but then I tried playing Max Payne 3 and the controller did not work. Additionally, my third-party wireless PS3 controller, when connect via USB to the console, would vibrate non-stop after I installed the plugin.
Is there a way to solve this issue? Could it be that this plugin only work in some games? Thanks
I am trying to transfer a ps3 game PKG (That’s a 19gb PKG file).
I take a 64gb flashdrive and format it to NTFS format on my pc. Then I make a folder within the flash drive called “PKG.” Then I put the 19gb ps3 PKG game in the PKG folder on the flash drive.
I already download the Prep ex fat/NTFS, enable hen, launch the prep app and then install the PKG file from the playstation 3 section of webman games (it shows up there fine).
However after the install finishes, when I enable HEN again and try to launch the game it just gives me a black screen and I have to do a hard shutdown. When I look at the files properties on the XMB it says it’s only 3.9 gb in size, which would probably explain the black screen of death…the ps3 game pkg is 19gb and it’s only showing up as 3.9gb after it’s installed.
This exact same issue has happened to me before when I installed a different ps3 PKG game that was 6gb. I’d install it and then it gave me the black screen of death, I’d check the file properties on the ps3’s XMB and it would says file size was 3.9gb, not 6gb.
I’ve used the prep exfat/NTFS with the same flash drive formatted to NTFS to transfer ps2 games larger than 4 gb and it never gave me this problem. The ps2 games (more than 4 gb) that I’ve installed using this method install and play perfectly fine and are the correct file size when I check them after installing them.
What gives? Any help is appreciated.
Can I hack into this model running 4.90 or 4.91
pls help me am on cfw rebug rex and it only spoofs to 4.31 maybe i need newer pkg or smth
So I bought this PS3 fat, on settings I "Restored PS3 System" with quick format. Now in the games menu, there is enable Hen and when I tried system update, it had a text like don't update this ps3xploits etc... something like that. So I want to install custom firmware and stuff but I don't know what to do. If it was ofw without anything installed I could follow a guide but with this half state I am a bit stuck. Need your guidence. Thanks in advance!
On ps3 hen. How can I create an installable PKG file from a GBA rom? Preferably add artwork/photo to the icon that would show up on the main menu as well.
I know this is indeed possible to do because there is a Youtuber called "onmyps3" who shares download links to his premade PKGs for, ps1, ps2, and...classic systems such as GBA and others.
What program(s) can be used to create installable PKGs from .GBA files/roms?
Hi, I wanna buy an 8bitdo wireless adapter to make my dualshock 4 work on my ps3, but before buying, I wanna make sure it's compatible. Has anyone used one? Are they ok?
After i installed WebMan package my HFW tools(that came along side with HFW downloaded from ps3xploit.me) suddenly disappeared. Any idea why it happened and how to restore them ?
upd: package manager in game section is missing too.
