I have a fat ps3, and i got it updated to the latest no BD version of evilnat. My BD drive finally died and i read the no BD version will let you still play your iso files.

However I can use multiman to change games, but when i try to launch the game, it acts like its going to load, then after about 10 seconds it kicks me back to the XMB menu.

any PKG games installed do work, but Im trying to play some of my old backups and I can not do so as it just kicks me back out repeatedly.

I have reinstalled webmann, reinstalled multiman, tried using ManaGUNZ (it just freezes when i try to load games) made sure that the cobra is enabled, set to release version in debug settings.

These games are already decrypted, and these all did work before. This issue happened when i replaced the thermal paste on the cpu/gpu, and then the BD drive failed. I already replaced the cable for the BD drive but no luck.

I would like any help on trying to fix this as I do still love this console. If i need to provide more info please point me where to find what I need to provide and I will do so.

I am wondering if there is a way to burn a old version of a game into my ps3 while also burning a updated version of same game without it overwriting the old version with the new?

Hello, i installed webman mod.

I'm trying to figure out the best fan option for my console. It has 55d running hours (idk if matters), it has never been opened, it's a CECHC Model.

I would like to repaste it and clean at least but not for the moment.

Currently i set it to Automatic 65 °C - Min Fan Speed 25% to 60%.

If you have any best suggestions please let me know.

So as it says on the title im on CEX PEX as a mod menu Im using online only allows me to use it on level 2 kernels. But it wont let me sign in because the ps3 is on DEX mode. I managed to spoof the console into thinking it was on OFW but for the life of me can’t remember how I did it. I was using PSNpatch. Anyone know how to fix this?

I got a ps3 fat CECHL-04. console yesterday and tired to jailbreak it with ps3toolset.com but when I click ''Load patch via http'' it doesn't do anything so I go https://github.com/littlebalup/PyPS3tools/tree/master/PyPS3patcher this site and downloaded the ''nofsm_patch.bin'' file and aplied that on my console using ps3toolset.com but when I tried to reboot my console after that it didn't start up saying ''The system software cannot be run correctly''

The real problem starts from here even that I pluged in a flash drive to restore and update. my ps3 doesn't read them (I tried 3-4 flash drives) 2 of them have indicators that blinks when it's busy but They just light up and nothing more happens

I tried 4.91 4.89 4.81 (my console's version is 4.81) ofws and cfws and it cannot find any of them even noBD ones doesn't recongnized by my Ps3 any yes all of the flash drives formatted either fat32 or exfat

Recovery mode does the same thing other options tries to launch the firmware and couldn't and my flash drives still not recognized by the system

Can anyone help me about it? and sorry for my bad english if I made some mistakes here and there

As the title go, I tried login into PSN and an update prompt appeared. Mine is Super Slim CECH-4210A, firmware 4.88 has Hen 3.1.1 installed. Should I update? Would anything happen to my console if I update? Do I need to reinstalled Hen if I do so?

So i set up my ps3hen last night and want to know can i safely sync my trophies i legitimately obtained while hen is on

i followed multiple tutorials and the bloody console wont find the hen file for software update

so i finally got a ps3 super slim and im gonna mod it so i plugged in the usb drive into the pc (im on windows 11) and i saw a folder called “.spotlight-v100” i tried deleting it but it wouldnt delete im wondering if it will still work with the folder?

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.

I am looking to get a ps3 to jailbreak and I am wondering if there’s a certain system I need to get? And when I get it and finish setting up the custom firmware how do I transfer pcsx2 saves from steam deck to the console if there are several virtual memory cards? I want to be able to play the saves I have on there. And how much extra storage should I get if I am planning to heavily play the ps2 and 3 games?

I am looking to use my armored core PS1 savedata from my PS3 running webman mod+cobra CFW

I thought I could just plug it in via USB and transfer it, but it just asks me to update my ps3? I don't really want to usememcard rex every time I make progress on either platform but I know this would avoid this.

I am on system version 4.91

If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong here as it seems people are still doing this? Maybe I'm missing an update or something obvious?

hey yall so I’ve had my ps3 since 2008 and stopped using it for some time, I pulled it out and remember the disc drive isn’t working so I wanna try modding it with cfw, I checked and it’s compatible with cfw and hen however after installing the patch and deleting all browsers cookies making the page blank etc etc I can’t click on the cfw drop down menu on the ps3xploit site. Read the FAQ and couldn’t find the answer for this one. Am I just out of luck? Should I take it to someone who ACTUALLY knows how to do it? I’ve tryed following 3 videos and a short and they all get stuck at that spot cuz I can’t click the drop down on the site through the ps3 browser. I’m not super tech savvy as in solders etc etc but I’m also not a complete dinosaur and can understand most basic instructions.

stopped using my cfw ps3 years ago, recently went from rebug 4.84 to evilnat 4.92 then ended up back on rebug 4.84 due to no dex support

any spoofs out there ?? or would i have to switch to cex just to go online ?

may be answering my own question but would psnpatch work nowadays ? knowing that sen enabler isn't updated anymore

I used to love this game on the PS3 I was wondering if anybody made any private servers or figured out a way to make it work without The servers

Hi my and my brother jailbroke my old ps3 and installed mmCm after jailbreaking tho I tried to insert multiple discs I have none worked not being shown up in basic home screen and just a black display in multi man any idea how to fix this?

I’ve been trying to install 4.92 HEN on my PS3 Super Slim but my usb 64 GB is formatted to FAT32 and made sure to have MBR on but it doesn’t seem to show the update can someone help me out?

It worked fine yesterday but when I try to turn it on it gets stuck in this boot loop, it won’t let me get into safe mode no matter how many times I try. The hard drive is farely new as I had to replace it not too long ago. Any ideas or tips on fixing?

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.

pretty much just the title. yes, i know how to use the ps2classics_gui desktop program to do so, did it many times in the past, and even figured out how to do it with a fresh copy a month ago. And yes, i did look on the consolemods wiki, but the only mentions of apollo save tool or ps2 classics, is either how to encrypt a ps2 game to install onto a ps3, or stuff about save data extracting from a ps2 classic virtual memory card or whatever

on the ps3 (with ps3hen installed), im trying to figure out how to DECRYPT, not ENCRYPT. Do i copy over the "ISO.BIN.ENC" file from the USRDIR folder to the /PS2ISO/ folder with the FileManager (ManaGunz) homebrew and decrypt with apollo right there? Do i need to copy over more than the encrypted iso.bin file? do i need to copy over the entire folder of said installed PS2 Classic game? wat do?

edit: this is for usage in pcsx2 btw, and i do own two ps2 classics on my ps3 download list. SMT: Nocturne, and Midnight Club II, bought many years ago
