Perfect timing. Just picked up a $30 phat for first attempt. There is a small group of people that give toutorials as detailed and clear as you. Hope your skills and knowledge bring you success
Yes Mr Mario is great. If you ever get into emulation on Xbox series consoles check out Archades Games. Without guys like these my new found hobby would not be possible.
Hey! Good find. Congrats! I found one with a very clean body and controller for $25 at a thrift shop. It's now softmodded but I want to put a larger hdd in there.
The way and the detailed way you explain is priceless. One of the best i ever saw! About disks i advice a SSD disk, better than an old mechanic disk. Not because of speed but longevity and heat. Really good video! ThankU!
@@BytesNBitsI was wondering something. Would you recommend we only copy games from perfect condition discs (will copying games from scratched discs be a problem)?
You make awesome videos and I enjoy how thorough your tutorials are. It would be epic if you make a tutorial on how to set up MAME games on a jailbroken PS3 HEN/ CFW. Nobody else seems to have the know how or the time. Cheers!
@g4z-kb7ct NES, Sega and Atari console games are a breeze. However, you have to jump through a few more hoops to get Arcade emulation up and running, as demonstrated from this man's other video for the PC.
I successfully installed rhe CFW, thank you for the excellent video. Gonna do my 360 next using your guide. Definitely need to figure out how to download and play ps2 and ps3 iso's
@@BytesNBits I have since then learned how to do it properly. Have been enjoying ps1 ps2 and ps3 games every day since. Love playing some of the oldies like resistance 1-3 co-op with my son. We have plans to play army of 2, kane and lynch, and sometimes we settle disputes using fight night round 4 lol I will attempt to repair my other xbox 360 and try the jailbreak on that before trying on both 360 I have. Thank you for the videos you have provided an endless amount of enjoyment for a ton of people out there including me. You have a new subscriber.
Any reason why you didn't opt for multiMAN Mod? My PS3 has CFW but I haven't gotten around to installing any software yet, so look forward to your next video.
MultiMan Mod will be the one covered in the full multiMan video where we can explore the extra features. No real reason why I used Base, just gives scope to show upgrading the app later.
I just did this on my slim, works great but had a lot of problems getting stuff from my PC in rspc3 onto the real PS3 (trying to save re-downloading gigs of stuff). copying across the ones in GAMES works fine but the ones in 'game' don't show initially..... the secret is to get the PS3 into safe mode then rebuild the database and then they show and load fine heh!
Thanks. You can play online but if advise using an account you don't mind loosing if you get banned. Most people say it's very safe to go online, but I think very safe is not the same as completely safe.
I think it's a risk with any modded console. Using the CFW variant of the custom firmware tries to keep it looking like the official firmware, but I wouldn't be able to guarantee you won't get banned. Using WebManMod can help disguise the modded firmware but again not 100%.
Thank you so much for the thorough walkthrough! Im stuck on getting my large iso files onto the console using a fat32 usb drive. How do you get around the 4GB file limit?
No. Once you've installed the firmware it's there for good. If you use the PS3HEN route you do need to re enable it each time you power on, but it's just a single menu option.
How about gt5: the game allows it to be installed to the hard drive. If we allow it wouldn't it be installed twice? I mean we will have the iso and the game installed, occupying twice the space. Maybe we should not allow it to install and play it from "disk"?
Well it seems like out my own answer when I looked at the newest customer firmware for 4.91, it does say on there that all's I need to do is the USB method if I have any previous custom firmware installed and I don't need to go through the previous method thanks for your previous help though and can't wait for your future videos on this.
Is it better to just jailbreak a ps3 cuz I wanna play ps3 games but I heard you can’t play ps3 games on a ps4 that’s jailbroke bc there’s not any good emulation for ps3 Bc I have a ps4 that I’ve wanted to jailbreak but I heard it wouldn’t play ps3 games
Hi, what is more faster way for to have a lot of games ready to play on ps3? With ftp it's very slow. For transfer its very slow. Every game need more then 10 minutes.
An external NTFS drive is the fastest way. No copying files to the PlayStation. Just play them directly from the hard drive so you just need to copy from PC to USB drive. Have a look at this video - ruclips.net/video/Z_MIUv0RMHQ/видео.html
My ps3 slim on cfw evilnat is unable to read discs and when a disk is inserted, pckgi will not load . Also when I play any cod online, I’m able to join a game. However when the game ends my screen goes black. What’s causing this erroneous behaviors ?:/
If it can't read the disks it sounds like your Bluray drive has a problem. Not sure about the online gaming. You'd need to have a look online to see if anyone else has found that.
@@BytesNBitsthanks for the reply, I figured out what was the problem. The ps3 did not send enough power to the drive this not reading correctly because I was charging my controller also.
Some people use PSN with their console but I think you have to add a few bits of protection to stop it from getting banned. My take is to just not risk it.
@BytesNBits I followed all links in the description. The issue was windows didn't know it could be extracted I guess. I realized maybe 7-zip might work so I gave it a shot and it worked
Having trouble figuring out how to make PS3ISO files play. They show up in my ps3, I downloaded IRISMAN but no luck thing just pops up but then just goes to XMB. PS2ISO plays flawlessly, the PS3 game shows up and I made sure to label the folder PS3ISO and also make sure they end in .iso I will try another game and see if maybe the game I downloaded was just bad. Will get back with results!
HELLO SIR MY PS3 CONSOLE IS CFW 4.90 IF I JAILBREAK OR UPDATE IT TO 4.91 DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO UPDATE CAN I PLAY MY PKG GAMES THAT IS ALREADY INSTALLED IN MY PS3
Dammit, got a 30XX model. Well, I mostly playon PC anyway these days. Haven't turned the PS3 on in years. but if it was hackable it might have made a difference.
@@BytesNBits I started watching that video and I don't think I will do that for a number of reasons. 1. Most of the PS3 games I care for are now on PC anyway and the rest can be made to work with emulation. It's easier than re-enable the functions on every start of the console. It's not worth the hustle. 2. I also don't really have a working original controller and the video says I need one. The one that came with it was busted from the start and I bought a cheap third party controller to replace it. 3. I also don't want to connect the thing to the internet, because consoles don't belong on the internet. The Playstation is now Blu-Ray player. That's literally the only thing it's good for. Everything else PC can do better. Kinda the reason why I stopped buying any new consoles after the used PS3 I got for cheap back in 2016. I stopped caring, because consoles stopped being consoles. They 've become locked down PCs and I already have a couple of those that aren't locked and are more powerful.
@@skyknight0408bro you can’t play uncharted, midnight club la, skate, ncaa, fight night, or undisputed on pc and ps3 emulation is dogshit on most pc’s you’re delusional never heard anyone say consoles weren’t to be on the internet since the ps2 days bruh
Interesting, I have a "Backward compatible" PS3 Model I picked up for $30CAD with no Controller that I was wondering what to do with...I should perform the full Factory reset first though. -Mark.
I'll be covering playing PS2, PS1, PSP, etc. in some following videos. This video's really just to get your system modded and running with the PS3 side of things.
Sorry. I'll be looking at online play in another video. For now I'd advise using a separate account for your hacked PS3. I don't think Sony tends to ban these machines any more but there's still a chance.
games in pkg you should download only on rare games that are not easily found in folder or iso format, they are annoying to install because it takes a lot of time, while games that require the rap file avoid them like the plague they only complicate your life. I am full of PS3 games downloaded only in folder and ISO format which are the best ever and very few games in pkg will be 5 6 games
Let’s see then. I’ve just set up my 1/2/3&4 on a separate tv from the 5 and I feel it’s long enough ago to break my 3 now. Not done anything since PSP days hack wise so I’m hoping this is a piece of piss 😂

thx you so much i succesfully jailbroken my ps 3 but Do I need to delete my temp user or i can keep it?
You don't have to delete the temp user. You can use that as the main account if you want.
Got a question. Can I still collect trophies on my account with games that I own but play from backup? Or is this a risk still?
I think it's a risk with any modded console. Using the CFW variant of the custom firmware tries to keep it looking like the official firmware, but I wouldn't be able to guarantee you won't get banned. Using WebManMod can help disguise the modded firmware but again not 100%.
@ k and thanks for the reply.
Thank you so much for the thorough walkthrough! Im stuck on getting my large iso files onto the console using a fat32 usb drive. How do you get around the 4GB file limit?
I'll be covering loading games in the next PS3 video. As a spoiler there are 2 methods. FTP and using a homebrew app that can read NTFS drives.
Try formatting in exfat, or set up an ftp with your pc and ps3
hey it got a question if i have an already formatted fat32 memory do i need to format it again or i can use it anyways
If it's already FAT32 that's fine.
Thankyou sir .work it
Great! Have fun with the games.
I only have one question. Do I have to keep it on standby to keep it jailbroken?
No. Once you've installed the firmware it's there for good. If you use the PS3HEN route you do need to re enable it each time you power on, but it's just a single menu option.
How about gt5: the game allows it to be installed to the hard drive. If we allow it wouldn't it be installed twice? I mean we will have the iso and the game installed, occupying twice the space. Maybe we should not allow it to install and play it from "disk"?
If you've got the disk there's no need to copy it apart from preserving the disk. Yes it will double up disk space.
If I have the 8.3 CeX version of the custom firmware, how would I upgrade to the latest PEX beta 10 version that you showed in your video?
You can just go through the modding process again with the newer firmware. This will overwrite the old version.
@@BytesNBits okay, also when I did the custom firmware upgrade the original stock firmware was on 4.88 is there any need to go to 4.91?
Well it seems like out my own answer when I looked at the newest customer firmware for 4.91, it does say on there that all's I need to do is the USB method if I have any previous custom firmware installed and I don't need to go through the previous method thanks for your previous help though and can't wait for your future videos on this.
Will this possibly help with browsing on the PS3?
Probably not much. I think the browser software is very out of date.
Is it better to just jailbreak a ps3 cuz I wanna play ps3 games but I heard you can’t play ps3 games on a ps4 that’s jailbroke bc there’s not any good emulation for ps3
Bc I have a ps4 that I’ve wanted to jailbreak but I heard it wouldn’t play ps3 games
I haven't tried the PS4 but I think you're right that it won't play PS3. I'd probably just buy a PS3 and use that.

Yes. Though some of the software companies are working hard to kill off the archive sites.
Can I game share the games with my main account? If so, will my main account get banned from PSN?
Some people use PSN with their console but I think you have to add a few bits of protection to stop it from getting banned. My take is to just not risk it.
When I download the PEX evilnat folder it comes up as a .rar file with nothing to extract.
That's odd!! Make sure you're following the links in the video. Do the other version downloads work?

Maybe these are a bit cheaper in the UK. They mostly seem to go for between £40 and £60, I guess that's about $50 to $80 or so.

Key words "custom firmware" that makes this video partial shit, as about only half of PS3 can be modded with custom firmware.
That's all covered in the first 5 minutes of the video.
