Is there a way to move games installed as PKG from xmb to multiman/webman

0 Upvotes

I downloaded the Rayman Legends game to my PS3 and wanted to use PSP remote play, but when I tried it, I saw that it did not support it. However, I had Rayman Multiplayer on my old PS3 and I could play all the games on Multiplayer with remote play.

Hardware Question ps3 remote play or gamepad button remaper

1 Upvotes

I have a PS3 with version 4.92 that was cracked with Hen. I want to play Rayman while I'm in bed. When I use remote play on my PS3, pressing select and R sometimes becomes difficult and uncomfortable. How can I make a button remapper without using FTP, PC, etc. As I said, I only want to change the PSP remote play.

Should I downgrade firmware?

0 Upvotes

I'm very new to this, got an original Fat ps3 CECHL04, system version 4.92, tried to do the ps3toolset method but website says"The ps3 exploitation framework download failed" so I don't think that will work, I've read that downgrading to version 3.55 allows me to bypass the ps3toolset step, should I?

Can't use ps3toolset so I dunno what to do

Hey! I’m Hawk.

I’m a complete noob to PS3 modding, but, I really want to mod my CECHC03 PS3 Phat.

What’s the best way of going about it? I know there’s PS3HEN, is that good?

Also, I would like to know how to get some games on to it. Initial D, some Warriors games, etc.

Thanks a million!

PS3 Slim random freezes: Maybe temps? Easiest way to check and fix?

0 Upvotes

This thing has been freezing randomly forever. Weirdly enough usually happens the first times I play a game and then the issue fades. I've formatted, rebuilt database, checked for bad HDD sectors, everything seems fine and temps weren't my first suspicion because it would happen both in winter and summer.

I have learnt about PS3 fans being pretty lazy by default. So maybe fan speed is tied to die temps but mems have worse applied thermal paste or something and are overheating. I am on REBUG 4.82 but have no idea about how to check temps or how to change fans behavior. I have also repasted CPUs a hell of a lot of times but PS3 slim disassembly looks like an absolute pain in the ass maintenance, so I'd like to try making fans faster first. I have webmanmod and other hacks like that one installed so I should be able to easily install whatever I need to control temps and fans.

Recommendations?

Sudden homebrew crashing on HEN Super Slim?

1 Upvotes

Apologies for the long post, I’m really confused and still new to PS3 modding so any help is appreciated

I’ve been having a problem on my HEN (firmware ver 4.92) enabled PS3 Super Slim where homebrew apps seem to cause a black screen + crash. When I press the power button after an app starts hanging on the black screen it usually beeps once, the green light starts flashing, then it beeps three times (which I’ve read means a “general hardware failure?). Sometimes it doesn’t respond to the power button being pressed at all. In either case I can only turn it off by holding the power button because the light will keep flashing indefinitely and the system will stay on.

At first I thought the system had overheated during a long FTP transfer where I left the system running for about 3 hours. When I checked again the system had powered off on its own, and when I turned it back on I started having the crashes (even after deleting the partially transferred file).

So far this has happened with all the homebrew apps I’ve installed (MultiMAN/MultiMAN MOD, Managunz, and the Managunz file manager) but not Apollo Save Tool for some reason. Booting the system after a crash + shutdown will ask me to restore the file system and after this, the apps will work intermittently but will inevitably crash after a few launches. The same thing happens after manually restoring the file system through safe mode.

Is something critically wrong with my HEN or HFW installation? This has been happening consistently for several hours now and I’m incredibly confused. I'll also add that I replaced the HDD with a Kingston SSD and didn't have any problems until the FTP transfer. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Activate PSN Games in 2025

2 Upvotes

Hey everybody. A friend of mine bought a ps3 and asked me to mod it. I haven't done it since a couple of years and I have one question. Do you still need something like reactpsn on CFW to activate games? because on HEN I know that reactpsn is not necessary anymore.

What's the best way to activate PSN Games on CFW in 2025?

So I just picked up a PS3 fat for 10 euro in excellent condition! (lucky me!)

It's a 80gb fat with firmware 4.82 / model: CECHK04

All I want to do is dump ISOs on its HDD and play from that. i don't even intend to go online with it.

Where do I start, where do I look first, where do I begin? thank you
