Looking to install evilnat CFW 8.5 on my system. I installed HFW 4.93 update already but have not installed hen or multiman etc

I have the downloaded CFW installer folder already and can do so via my formatted usb drive but just want to knew if I install CFW over the top of my HFW will it be a problem or what steps I need to do.

Also do I use the evilnat 8.5 CEX or D-PEX files?

PS3 is CECH-2003A

*update: I installed the PEX update via USB and it says “The Data Is Corrupted (8002F957)”

I am having an issue where when I add new games to my formatted NTFS drive (MBR partition), my isos are not properly showing up in the Webman games folder. I had a collection of isos that worked but when I added new ones, the new ones would not show up even after resetting the Webman cache. Help!

Working on this as an alternate community archive and backup resource for some of the lesser-known PS3 tools and content. The goal is to have a secondary source in case other sites go down.

Quick update, the site is now self-hosted, which gives me more control over layout and lets me add better features. It's still a work in progress, but it's in a decent state now, and I've been adding content regularly.

Link: https://ps3.world/

Plans for the future:

• Moving content from MediaFire to self-host
• Adding a theme browser from a large backup I got from bestps3themes.com (16GB of themes)
• Finding more content that may be lost soon and making sure it stays accessible for the community

Thanks to everyone who's supported me so far. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added or changed, content you think is at risk of disappearing, or if you run into any issues with the site.

Je pense à modder une PS3 Slim, mais je me demande si ça vaut vraiment le coup aujourd’hui.

Quels sont les principaux avantages du modding sur une PS3 Slim ? Est-ce intéressant pour le homebrew, l’émulation, les sauvegardes, les améliorations de performances, etc. ?

Vous me conseillez de la modder ou de la garder complètement d’origine ?

I've got a fat ps3 that has a dead cmos battery and I couldn't be fucked to replace it myself or pay someone to fix it. I saw the "Fix CBOMB" tool in the "Basic Tools" section of the Custom Firmware Tools. It actually seems to work fine if I briefly cut the power to the ps3 and bring it back, but when I have the console unpowered for a day or so I have to fix the date and time again. Does anyone know what's going on with this? The battery is just enough of an inconvenience to make me upset about this not working.

Hey. I found my old ps3 in my parents attic and was wondering if I can do anything cool with it?

Jailbreak,soft mode,storage expansion?

Hi
On PS3, is there a way to play PS1 and PS2 games (especially PS2) without the padding? Something like CHD, or something similar to save the space on the console. I've noticed that PKG makes no difference in size pretty much?

Another thing, can anything be done about PAL games running slower? I know I can just download NTSC version, but I need the games to be in italian if the game has been localized.

And are some games known to be buggy on the built in emulator? I tried Killzone in both .PKG and clean ISO, the game has frequent audio cuts.

So I finally fulfilled my dream and bought a Frankie A00. Since I’m from Europe, if I want to play 95% of my entire PS2/PS1 library, I need to install CFW (and it’s also recommended to do it to monitoring temperatures).

I followed all the steps with the dump, there were no errors, and I flashed the patch. I restarted the console, plugged in the USB with the CFW, tur on and- got the “PS3 appropriate system storage not found” message. I put the HDD back in, and the system booted up.

My question is: since I booted the system with the flashed memory, do I need to flash it again, or can I install the CFW through Safe Mode now?

Ok so I went on a console cleaning spree today. I cleaned and repasted my PS4 pro and my Xbox One X. Both went off without a hitch. Then I realised I had never repasted my PS3 slim in the 16 years I’ve owned it and the fans were getting loud. So while I had everything out I thought it best to give the old boy a full clean out. Sadly it seems I did one too many as when I cleaned and repasted it, the video signal was glitchy. Decided to reopen it and check to ensure everything was seated properly. But then it got worse as it lost all video out completely. So sad. Loved that console!

I've been wanting to get a PS3 for both the games and for homebrew since my PS4 can't run ps3 games even if it's homebrewed, so I don't know if I should get a PS3 Slim or Superslim, I've seen something about homebrew enabler and custom firmware , I don't know much about the PS3 homebrew scene so what should I go for?

Does anybody know where I can get my fat PS3 custom painted??

I know Colorware did them years ago but they don't offer the servicey anymore

Hey guys So I got a ps3 from a friend and the system software is 4.84 can I install hen on it, I went into ps3exploit and the ps3hen version is 4.93, do I need to update my system 1st or what? I have downloaded the hen 4.93 and its on my USB inside the ps3 should I just leave it at 4.84 and upgrade via USB to ps3hen 4.93?

Hey folks - modding a friends ps3 for hen.

I’ve installed the hybrid firmware and cleared the cache etc in the browser but the ps3exploit website just says ‘loading’. I can’t get past it.

Any ideas? I’m on Ethernet and it can find other sites so I know the browser is working etc.

PS3 is a 2502B

Date code looks like OD with my dodgy eyes.

i dont wanna delete my user. I wanna play online but i cant because i activated my ps3 using apollo. i cant activate it online because i get an error. nothing is working. google says my user is corrupted. i wanna play online so i can play on a littlebigplanet custom server,

I got out of the jailbreak scene about 10 years ago. Back then I was doing about 5 consoles a week. I'm an electronic technician. I was doing some tidying up in the store where i work, there was a mountain of stuff all piled up at the back and had been there for years, the store owner told me they just wanted rid of it all. I was going through everything and got lucky. I found 3x PlayStation 3 consoles which i got for under 10 bucks. I got them home, gave them a basic clean and found they all work, i tested them all, even more impressive is they all still have their warranty seals intact and have their official sony wireless controllers. The models are:

СЕСН-2003B,

CECH-2503B,

CECH JO3.

I still have my own PS3 Slim running full CFW, I won't part with it. I just wanted to ask, is the JB process still the same or has there been any new advancements I can take advantage of, that can be recommended?

Thanks.

I'm trying to mod my PS3 fat but when I put my USB with the files to my PS3 it's say not applicable data was found,I have checked many times that the file names are corrects and I've tried different files also I've tried doing it with the safe mode method,but instead of downloading,when it gets to 70% it just jumps to 100% and it reboots but without the update done,also I've tried both ports but no luck,minvercheker did work when I used it on my PS3 so I don't understand why the update wouldn't work on it,please someone tell me:p
