Installation of custom firmware and downgrade. Firmware for PS3 Super Slim Latest firmware for ps3 slim

  • Console Sony Playstation 3 with official software 3.55 or the version below. Firmware 3.56 and higher are not yet supported.
  • Flash drive or USB hard drive formatted in file system FAT32.

Preparing for PS3 firmware

Check the software version of the set-top box on this moment. You can do this as follows: go to the PS3 menu in the section “Settings” - “System Settings” - “System Information”. The screen will indicate the current software version of your set-top box.

1. Installation of the official software update version 3.55.

If you already have firmware 3.55 installed, then proceed to the installation (as I wrote above, consoles with software version 3.56 or higher are not yet flashed).
Make sure that the file system of the media you are using (USB HDD or flash drive) is FAT32; if your console “sees” its contents, then the flash drive is already formatted in FAT32. Create a folder in the root of your USB storage device with the name "PS3" and the subfolder "UPDATE" (observing the specified case). Download the archive with the official software update to 3.55, unzip it and copy the file official firmware“PS3UPDAT.PUP” to the previously created PS3/UPDATE directory. Connect the USB flash drive to the Playstation 3 console and select from the menu System update - Update from storage media. The set-top box will update. Once the installation is complete the PS3 will turn off, now turn it on and check the version software — 3.55.

2. Installation of custom firmware 3.55 kmeaw.

Download custom firmware 3.55 kmeaw and run it. Specify the path to the flash drive, installation will be performed on it. Connect the flash drive to the console. Now you need to completely turn off the power to the Playstation 3 (switch the toggle switch on the back - FAT models, pull out the power cord - Slim models). Turn on the power of the set-top box again. Press and hold the power button of the set-top box until it turns on and turns itself off again (about 30 seconds). Press the button again and hold it until the set-top box emits a short beep twice. After the signal, release the button. The Playstation will boot into recovery mode.
Connect the joystick with a wire, press the “PS” button and select “System update”. Playstation 3 will begin installing custom kmeaw firmware.
After the console completes the update and reboots, two new items should appear in the “Game” menu: "Install package files" And "/app_home/PS3_GAME".

Installing the multiMAN manager to run games on custom firmware.

multiMAN is considered the best manager to run games on custom firmware.
Download multiMAN 2.03.00 and the BDEMU Blu-Ray drive emulator, copy the files to the root of your flash drive and connect it to the Playstation 3. Through the menu "Games" - "Install Package Files" On the console, use the “X” button of the joystick to first set multiMAN, then BDEMU. A drive emulator is necessary because latest version The developer removed the ability to run backups.

Write the games that you will download from torrents to an external drive or flash drive. On external drive create a folder “GAMEZ” in the root, and inside it folders with game code.

Attention! To avoid startup errors, check the correct sequence of folders, since if you add directory subsections to the game path, the game will not start.

How to run the game on custom firmware

Go to the multiMAN manager and press the “X” button on the game - the game image will be mounted and a new icon will appear in the “Game” menu: if any Blu-Ray disc is inserted into the console drive, the game will appear in the disk section, if there is no disc in the drive, in /app_home/ps3_game).

Attention! Not all games come without a disc; some require any Blu-Ray disc in the console drive.

Downgrade on PS3 consoles with firmware 3.56 - 4.46 (firmware rollback)

Downgrade (from English - downgrade)- this is the use of old device software. Downgrade, as an operation with a device, is used to roll back the firmware due to greater stability early firmware or gaining the ability to manipulate the device in any way. Owners of a PS3 console with firmware 3.56-4.46 can use a special device - E3 Flasher, which can lower the console firmware, that is, perform a downgrade. E3 Flasher is a special chip that is installed inside the set-top box to provide the ability to roll back to more earlier version firmware, respectively, to install custom.

Downgrading, as a rule, is done to custom firmware 3.55, since this particular firmware is completely hacked. After downgrading to an earlier firmware version, you can install custom firmware Rogero 3.55 v.3.7 or (or Kmeaw 3.55 - instructions in this article).

Conditions under which a PS3 downgrade is possible:

  • The Date Code of the set-top box must be no higher than 1B (this means that the set-top box must be produced no later than the 2nd quarter of 2011). You can view the Date Code on the back of the console. Let's say 9D and 0C are suitable, since the consoles were released in the 4th quarter of 2009 and the 3rd quarter of 2010, respectively. 1C, 1D - no longer suitable (3rd, 4th quarters of 2011). Also, your PS3 memory must be NOR type, as indicated by the following model numbers: CECHH, CECHJ, CECHK, CECHL CECHM, CECHP, CECHQ
  • Your console's factory firmware must be below 3.60.
  • Slim version consoles with model number 3000 cannot be downgraded.

Already now, Sony PS3 owners are rejoicing with delight, because now you can completely simply and quickly flash your game console and freely download and install games. Today, we will introduce you to the step-by-step actions of PS3 firmware.

First, a little theory.

Jailbreak or simply firmware is changing/unlocking the software shell of your console. After flashing the firmware, your game console will be able to run games downloaded from the Internet without having to licensed disk, as well as install various applications written by craftsmen for the convenience of using the console.

Firmware history:

On December 29, 2010, a security flaw was found in the PS3.
On January 9, 2011, George Hotz (Geohot) released the first custom firmware of its kind for the PS3, which made it possible to run any software on a curling iron.
On January 17, 3.55 Waninkoko CFW was created and posted on the network
On January 18, 3.55 Wutangrza CFW was created and posted online
On January 19, 3.55 Kmeaw CFW was created and posted online
On January 27, the official 3.56 firmware was released
On January 29, 3.55 Waninkoko CFW version 2 was created and posted online

What you need to flash the console firmware:

1. Set-top box with firmware no higher than 3.55 (see below how you can check the firmware version of your console)

2. Flash drive formatted in the FAT32 file system

4. A little patience and attentiveness :)

How to check your firmware version?

Everything is very simple. To do this, follow these steps: Turn on the console and go to the menu “ Settings""System""System Information"- here your firmware version will be visible (example: 3.41, 3.55, etc.).

ATTENTION! To flash the set-top box, you must have official firmware 3.55 installed.

Firmware update methods.

There are 3 ways to update the firmware, let's look at each of them.

A) From a flash drive. Download the firmware. Next, create the “PS3” folder on the flash drive and the “UPDATE” folder in it (the names of both folders must be written in capital letters) and throw the downloaded firmware there.

ATTENTION! The firmware should be located approximately in the following path: H:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

b) From a flash drive, through the Recovery menu. To begin with, we prepare flash drives with firmware according to the instructions above (see paragraph “ A)", update from flash drive). Turn off the console. Place your finger on the console's power button and hold it until the console turns on and off. We remove our finger and press the console power button again and wait until we hear a double “peep-peep” (during the process, the console will beep but with a large interval, you need to hold it until the double peak), after which we remove the finger. The console will ask you to connect the game controller using a wire, which is what we must do.

Select the item “Firmware update” (it’s the last one in the list) and wait for it to finish.

Video of the whole process:

c) Via the Internet from XMB. ATTENTION!Using this method, the update will occur immediately to the latest firmware and if you need 3.55, then do not use this method!

Selecting custom firmware

At this stage, you will need to decide what custom firmware you will install for yourself. At the moment there are 4 versions of different firmware.

I would like to note that the quality of each firmware sometimes differs greatly for each user, which is why your task is to choose the best option for your console!

ATTENTION! It is more reliable to flash the console in the recovery menu (see above for the method of getting into the recovery menu). Although many people are able to carry out the necessary operations via XMB without any problems.

1. CFW by kmeaw.

This firmware already has built-in lv2.pkg (there is no need to install it separately, but you will still have to run it every time). Accordingly, there are NO bricks.

Firmware installation:

  1. If you have GEOHOT, then you can put it on top of it, without OFW.

Video instructions for installing firmware from kmeaw.

2. CFW from Geohot.

This firmware was the first. There is no chance of getting a brick with her. Games are launched from the internal hard drive using a previously found and installed game pkg file. This method allows you to run games without a disc in the drive! In the latest versions of managers, it is now possible to run games without pkg and even from external drives!

Firmware installation:

  1. We update to the original firmware 3.55. (3 methods are described above)
  2. Download the firmware from Geohot - HERE. And we update the system from a flash drive.

3. CFW from Waninkoko.

First firmware with support file managers! It is also possible to launch games from an external hard drive.
But first, let’s look carefully at which revisions of consoles can be updated with firmware!

You can see the revision number of your console on the back (bottom) cover. ATTENTION! There may also be numbers after the revision number (for example, CECHH08 is the same CECHH).

NOT slim consoles:

They are being bricked

  • CECHA = 256MB
  • CECHB = 256MB
  • CECHC = 256MB
  • CECHE = 256MB
  • CECHG = 256MB
  • CECHH = 16MB
  • CECHJ = 16MB
  • CECHK = 16MB
  • CECHL = 16MB
  • CECHM = 16MB
  • CECHP = 16MB
  • CECHQ = 16MB

Slim version:


Successfully

  • CECH-20..A = 16MB
  • CECH-20..B = 16MB
  • CECH-21..A = 16MB
  • CECH-21..B = 16MB
  • CECH-250.A = 16MB
  • CECH-250.B = 16MB
  • CECH-251.A = 16MB
  • CECH-251.B = 16MB

Firmware installation:

  1. Install the original firmware 3.55 (OFW). If you have CFW 3.55, then we do this through the recovery mod.
  2. Download the firmware - HERE.
  3. We update via a USB flash drive via XMB.

4. CFW from Waninkoko version 2

New firmware version from VanyaKokos. This time they promise no bricks. Otherwise the firmware is quite stable! It seems to be based on Hermes. People respond extremely positively.

Firmware installation:

  1. Install the original firmware 3.55 (OFW). If you have CFW 3.55, then we do this through the recovery mod. Some of the users installed it directly on the first version through the recovery menu and everything works great!
  2. Download the finished firmware - HERE.
  3. We update the finished firmware from a flash drive via XMB

ATTENTION! If the console constantly displays a message stating that the firmware version is the latest, flash it through the recovery menu!

5. CFW by Wutangrza

Prosha on which, according to rumors, there are no bricks. In principle, for regular user, except 0% brick differences from "Waninkoko"- No. The only thing is that you will have to assemble the firmware yourself according to the manual (see below).

Firmware installation:

  1. Install the original firmware 3.55 (OFW). If you have CFW 3.55, then we do this through the recovery mod.
  2. Download the original firmware - HERE.
  3. Download the Wutangi patch - HERE.
  4. Download the program called: “bsdiff” - HERE.
  5. We write the original firmware, patch and downloaded program into one folder - (for example C:\cfw)
  6. Opening command line- Windows (press Win+R and type cmd) and go to the created folder (command: cd c:\cfw)
  7. Execute the following command - “bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP CFW.PUP Wutangrza-3.55.patch”
  8. Rename the file “CFW.PUP” to “PS3UPDAT.PUP” and use it to update the set-top box from a flash drive via XMB
  9. Install the firmware from Geohot - “ CFW from Geohota» (we described it second)
  10. Download the package: lv2 - HERE. And install it
  11. Install the file manager you need

Error codes:

80010009 — Restore original EBOOT and SFO manually.

80029567 — This error occurs when the PKG is signed for a specific firmware, and not for the one you are installing on. Look for signed PKGs or install different firmware.

8002F997 — It is advisable to take another flash drive and format it to the FAT32 file system. Then repeat the operation.

8002B603 — It can be treated through recovery mod 4, item “Reconstruct database”

That's probably all. In the next article we will look at popular managers and how to work with them, how to record games from FTP to the console’s hard drive, as well as a detailed FAQ on all sorts of minor issues. Good luck!

Firmware for PS3 Slim on any custom Rebug, HABIB or Rogero

PS3 Slim firmware made in our service will allow you to run games downloaded from the Internet for PS3, PS2, PS1 and PSP from your external USB hard drive, as well as from the internal HDD of the console.

Currently, you can flash PS3 Slim using two methods: purely software - without disassembling the console, and also with parsing and using E3 Flasher.

PS3 Slim firmware is preferably done without opening the console, but since this method is not ideal (there are bricks), you have to flash it the old way - through the E3 Flasher programmer, using a previously taken flash memory dump.


Unlike "Fatok" there is only one on Slim flash type memory - NOR. With this type of memory, the console takes about an hour to flash.

Not all Slims can be flashed with custom firmware! You can recognize a non-firmware by looking at the model and date code located on the underside of the console (at the bottom). You cannot flash models CECH-300XX (all date codes) and CECH-250XX with date code 1B, 1C, 1D. Models from the first "Slimok" - CECH-200XX and CECH-210XX are flashed with all date codes!



Our advantages

  • As a priority, we use the firmware method without disassembling the set-top box
  • We install only the latest versions of custom firmware
  • We install full version multiMAN
  • We carefully remove motherboard so that it does not affect further console service *
  • We use E3 Flasher - a method without soldering the motherboard *
  • We do free dust cleaning *

* - quite rare cases when it is impossible to do without opening using E3 Flasher.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Which PS3 Slim can be flashed?

Models CECH-200XX, CECH-210XX and CECH-250XX (except date codes 1B, 1C, 1D).

Is access to PlayStation Network still available?

Yes, but at your own risk. It is better to use the PSNpatch utility to replace the real console ID and disable system calls of custom firmware.

Will licensed discs work?

Modern firmware does not affect the reading of the license in any way.

“Jailbreak”, which implies changing/unlocking the software part, is essentially the firmware of the set-top box.

After this process, games downloaded on the Internet without a licensed disc will be launched from the console, and various programs can be installed that were written by programming masters for more convenient use of the console.

The cost of such an operation with Playstation 3 is on average about 900 rubles.

Is it worth flashing the console?

First you should weigh all the pros and cons.

After unlocking, the following options will appear:

  • recording into the built-in memory of the console of games downloaded from the Internet (sent using a USB drive or via ftp protocol) or unpacked from licensed discs;
  • launching games directly from USB drives;
  • usage homebrew– various unofficial software.

Accordingly, the user receives the following benefits:

  • absence spending on games, saving;
  • absence loads to a reading drive (there will be no need for it);
  • extension console capabilities.

The number of advantages is not large, but each of them is a compelling argument in favor of performing this operation.

However, there is a minus:

  • risk of getting banned. There is such a service as PSN. It is used on most Sony consoles and uses this service to detect unlicensed versions of games. To avoid a ban, you need to play only licensed versions of games, or use homebrew programs to access the network.

Even if the console not connected to the network, you can still get banned, which will result in a lack of multiplayer. It's also worth noting that not all PS3s can be flashed.

How to find out the installed version

To check the version:

How to check if Sony PlayStation 3 firmware is possible

Supported Models:


Slim 2xxx - models with DATE CODE 1A or 1B need check this way:

  • remove dump;
  • download PS3DumpChecker;
  • run, press Check Image, select dump file;
  • find the variable “metldr.name”;
  • clarify the value of “Actual data”. If it corresponds to the value: 6D 65 74 6C 64 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 – firmware is possible. If the number 32 comes after the number 72, it is impossible.

Update methods

Before installing the firmware on Sony PlayStation 3, you must remove the disk Blu-Ray from the drive, since the Playstation updates from the disc first.

WITH USB flash drives:

  1. Rename uploaded file to “PS3UPDAT.PUP” (in capital letters).
  2. Copy file PS3UPDAT.PUP to a USB drive (FAT32), having previously created two folders: “PS3”, and in it “UPDATE”.
  3. Insert USB drive into the console, then turn it on.
  4. Select “System update”, then “”. Flash PS3 following the instructions.

C using recovery. The method is identical to the previous one. You should also create two folders and copy the renamed firmware file. Further:


Through the Internet. When choosing this method, the set-top box will automatically update to the latest firmware version by downloading it from the Internet. If you need to install version 3.55, it is better not to use this method.

Which firmware to choose

It is impossible to say unequivocally which firmware is better. It all depends on the user's preferences. The most popular are:

  1. CFW Ferrox. Ferrox is suitable for those who like customization without unnecessary features.
  2. CFW Rebug. A special feature of the firmware is the presence useful functions, such as “PACKAGE MANAGER”, “REBUG TOOLBOX”, “SELECTOR” and several utilities.

Update to version 3.55

If the console you are using runs on a firmware version lower than 3.55 (for example, 3.41), it must be updated:

  • you need to download OFW 3.55.
  • format USB drive in FAT32 and create a folder “PS3”, and in it “UPDATE”. You need to copy the firmware into it. Both names must be entered in upper case, in capital letters.
  • Next, insert the drive into the USB connector, then go to the “Settings” menu - “” and select “From media”. The update will be installed automatically. During this process, you should not touch, much less turn off the console.

Firmware procedure

Attention! Updating to custom firmware PS3 Fat, Slim and SuperSlim must be done only from version 3.55!

Should download necessary files for update. You can do this using the link on the 4pda forum.








Creating a firmware file

In some cases, firmware manufacturers may make it available for download. archive with firmware, instead of finished file in “PUP” format. In this case, you need to create such a file.

It is important to know— if the developer did not include instructions for assembling the *.PUP file along with the files, then it is better not to use it and download a ready-made one from another source.

Installing the multiMAN manager

Manager capabilities:

  • FTP server, which operates constantly;
  • file manager;
  • setting additional features in the options.ini file (options_default.ini);
  • launching games with problems using “+”;
  • support 7 device types: HDD/USB/BD/SDHC/MS/CF;
  • opportunity control the console using PSP and other devices;
  • the ability to manage a manager with keyboards and mice;
  • checking and updating at the click of a button;
  • support COVER covers;
  • support design themes;
  • opportunity activate AVCHD from USB device;
  • possibility of creating backup copy AVCHD to internal HDD;
  • support for playing AVCHD and BDVM content from the internal HDD;
  • playback MP3 and JPEG viewing over the network;
  • ability to work with devices formatted in NTFS.

Installation instructions:

  • download multiMAN;
  • take advantage of " Install PKG Files» (install package files) for installation. Just run the installer on the console and follow the wizard's instructions.

How to run the game on a flashed PS3

To start you need:

  • decide on the drive from which to launch. Make sure it is formatted as Fat32;
  • create a folder on the drive “ GAMES”;
  • copy games downloaded into it. Game titles must be in English;
  • after the game has been copied, remove the flash drive and insert it into the console;
  • after launching Multiman it should all games will be displayed from a flash drive. If the list of games is not loaded, press SELECT+L at the same time.

Rollback to version 3.55

Downgrade is a return to more old version official console firmware. This operation is needed to install custom firmware (if the version is higher than 3.55), and managers, such as Multiman or Rodgero Manager. They allow you to launch games downloaded from the Internet, without using licensed discs, directly from the built-in or portable storage device.

During a rollback, only the software part, but in the process E3 programmer required– a device-chip that is connected inside the console during the procedure itself and then removed.

There are two ways to do a rollback:

  1. Buy a programmer, do a rollback following the instructions from the Internet (risky method).
  2. Take advantage with the help of specialists, which will not only perform a rollback, but will also install stable firmware and provide a guarantee of performance. The cost of these services is approximately equal to the cost of an E3 flasher. (recommended method).

Which option to use is a matter of taste.

Conditions under which a PS3 downgrade is possible:

  • must be below 1B (for example, 9D and 0C), and the prefix must also have memory typeNOR;
  • native console firmware should be below version 3.60;
  • On PS3 Slim consoles with model number 3000, rollback is not possible.

Having become the owner of a wonderful PlayStation console, most owners are thinking about how to flash a PS3 at home.

Why PlayStation owners are puzzled by this question is not difficult to understand. The problem is that the console refuses to run unlicensed gaming applications.

And only custom PS3 firmware allows you to run any homebrew and other unlicensed content. Homebrew is a software or gaming product developed by enthusiastic programmers.

Many people are not satisfied with the standard PS3 firmware, so they reflash their device

In addition, after decoding, which also includes the PS3 firmware, you will be able to run copies of licensed games downloaded from original discs from friends or from a torrent.

If you carefully read the instructions on how to install firmware on the PS3, you will immediately notice several conditions, without which it will simply be impossible to flash the PlayStation 3.

There are models of PS3 consoles that simply cannot be decoded using any of the available methods.

It is very important to determine whether your set-top box is subject to modernization, and only then begin practical actions.

Which consoles are being flashed?

If your console has already acquired the status of an “old lady”, since it was released more than five years ago, you are in luck; you can jailbreak it by updating the operating system to version 3.55.

Unfortunately, if the PlayStation 3 was previously updated operating system before the specified version, jailbreak will simply be impossible.

All new PlayStations are immediately accompanied by versions no lower than 3.55, so decoding requires more complex manipulations, which include downgrade.

But even downgrade is not possible on every PlayStation. For this reason, you should first figure out which consoles can be downgraded and which cannot.

First, try to determine the type of console you have. Pick up your PlayStation, unfold it, and look at what the sticker says.

In particular, it is very important to clarify the production date of the console; it is indicated next to the “datecode” parameter. It is also very important to clarify the parameter of the so-called CECH revision.

Looking at the datecode, you can find a number and a nearby Latin letter. The number indicates the year of release, and the letter helps to figure out in which quarter the PS3 console first “saw the light” and went on sale.

For example, having datecode 10D, we can say that it was in the fourth quarter of 2010 that the console was released. The letter D occupies the fourth position in the alphabet, so we can safely say that we are talking about the fourth quarter.

A console revision may be designated slightly differently. If the console has a FAT system, then next to the revision there will be five letters CECHH and two numbers indicating the region in which the console was manufactured.

Since the region does not play any role for firmware, you can only pay attention to the first five letters.

If you have SLIM or SuperSLIM in your hands, then the revision will be displayed in the form of four letters (CECH), four numbers (year of manufacture) and finally another letter indicating the parameters of the hard drive, which also do not play a role in the determination, you can Is it possible to flash this console?

Now that you have successfully figured out which console model you have, you can determine whether it can be flashed.

All set-top boxes with the FAT system, accompanied by the inscription CECHH, can be flashed and custom firmware installed on them.

SLIM consoles with revision CECH - 20xx and CECH - 21xx are flashed. If revision CECH - 25xx has a datecode below 1A, the model can also be flashed.

Unfortunately, the SLIM console, which has a revision of CECH - 30xx, or the SuperSLIM console are not flashed.

Risks and disadvantages of console firmware

You should start decoding the PlayStation only when you have received complete information on how to carry out the process without errors and problems.

Of course, some experienced craftsmen can try to “revive” the PS3, but this will require a lot of effort, so such a service will not be cheap, you will have to fork out the cash.

Unfortunately, even such resuscitation actions are not able to completely bring your PlayStation back to “life”. The set-top box will work, but it’s unlikely to last long enough.

Another risk is that by flashing a PS3, the owner of the console loses the right to official warranty service. In particular, after installing unlicensed firmware, PlayStation gets banned, as a result of which online multiplayer will simply be unavailable.

All this should be taken into account, the degree of risk should be weighed, and only then can you finally decide whether to jailbreak or downgrade your PS3.

Handmade firmware for the console

Flashing a set-top box with custom firmware is not difficult if you first study the procedure algorithm. By the way, custom firmware is significantly better than jailbreak.

To flash PS3 firmware, you will need an ordinary flash card or an external HDD, which you first format into the FAT file system.

Installing the official software update

After making sure that the PS3 console version does not exceed 3.55, you can perform some manipulations to update the existing firmware.

Having formatted the flash drive in advance, do not forget to create a folder on it, calling it “PS3”, inside it - another one, but under the name “UPDATE”. It is very important that it is signed in capital letters.

Now download the archive containing the update files, unzip it, find the file responsible for the official update process PS3UPDAT.PUP, then move it to “UPDATE”.

Connect the flash drive to the PlayStation, find the “System update” option, click on it, and then select new parameter"Updating from storage media."

After turning off the set-top box, start it again, go to the “Settings” main menu, select “System Settings”, then go to the “System Information” submenu. It will now indicate that the console comes with version 3.55.

Installing custom firmware

If you want to install custom firmware, you must first find it on the Internet and download it, of course, giving preference only to trusted sources.

There are several options for custom firmware that are popular, among them Rogero 4.55 and 3.55 kmeaw.

Now unzip the downloaded version, rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP if necessary, and then move it to the “UPDATE” folder located on the flash drive, which should be prepared in the same way as before the update.

Immediately after disconnecting, reconnect the set-top box to power. At this moment, hold down the power button and do not release, the set-top box should turn on itself and then turn off itself. Next, do the same thing, hold down the power button and hold it until the console beeps twice.

After this characteristic sound, release the power button to start recovery mode.

Now, having connected the joystick, you need to select the PS option, and then click on the “System Update” button. Now all the important steps are behind us, since the PlayStation 3 will continue to act independently and the firmware will be installed automatically.

After the installation process is completed, the set-top box will reboot. You can make sure that the custom firmware has been installed by the presence of two items “Install package files” and “/app_home/PS3_GAME”, which were not there before.

Installing the multiMAN manager

Having installed custom firmware, it’s too early to celebrate your victory, since you were pursuing a slightly different goal - launching unlicensed games.

And you will be able to do this only after installing the special multiMAN manager.

Download the program itself by visiting specialized forums or websites, and then place the download file on a flash drive.

Now, having gone to the “Games” menu, you need to find the “Install package files” item there, by clicking on it, specify the path to boot file multiMAN.

After successful installation of the manager, download from torrents the games that you would like to run on the console. Place them in the GAMEZ folder.

Now, having opened the multiMAN manager, you can find the desired game in it, click on the cross next to it, the image will be mounted, and the game will start. This completes the firmware process and the user can enjoy daily gaming.

So, the firmware process is completely simple if you initially carefully prepare for it, and then follow the algorithm that was developed and presented experienced users and programmers.
