How to hack PS3 and play pirated games – 100% Tested
Learn how to hack PS3.This is intended for all those who have problems with installing ps3 costum firmware. You do not need to own jailbrake stick, everything u need is usb with an least 256 mb (fat32). I’ve tried several combinations and finally found the right one and I will share with you. Hope that you’ll have no problems with installation.
TESTED 100% WORKING
First step
First of all make sure you’re PS3 has 3.55 official firmware or older version. If is not, please downgrade to 3.55 first. Google it for how to install.
Thanks to Zamp suggestion, as i forgot : You have to use signed pkg made for 3.55 or you will get error occurred during the install operation (80029567)
Download link : kmeaw CFW 3.55 Patched PUP
Create on the root of a USB (formatted FAT 32) the following folders: \PS3\UPDATE\
Secound step
Access to the Playstation recovery menu:
Turn off Plastation 3
Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.
Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
The Recovery menu will pop up.
Go to System update > Update via Storage Media and instal kmeaw CFW 3.55
After reboot you should see the install package file and the app_home/PS3_GAME/ inside the Game Folder
Last step
Download lvl2 patcher (lvl2-v9.pkg) and multiman (1.16+)
Make sure to save the files on usb root directory
Navigate to install package file and install them (XMB)
And remember before run multiman make sure to run lvl2 patcher first
Load game from external or internal and enjoy! Easy done PS3 hacking!
If u want to play ps3 games via portable usb hard drive
-Make sure that is FAT32 and if is not you can convert from NTFS to FAT32 with Paragon Hard Disk Manager eazy and fast (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hdm-personal/)
-Then download the game u want and add it to the following folder \GAMEZ
-Game folder you downloaded must contain (BLES, BLUS) number. (ex. \GAMEZ\BLUS-30490)
list with numbers (http://sonyindex.com/)
-Start the game from backup manager (eg. Multiman, Rogero) and enjoy.
If u want to transfer games from PC to PS3 via FTP
-First download filezila (http://filezilla-project.org/) and install to you’re Pc.
-Then download PS3 FTP Server (http://www.ps3-hacks.com/2010/09/07/ps3-ftp-server-released/) and install to you’re PS3
-Open FileZilla and press the ‘Site Manager’ button (Under ‘File’ in the top left hand corner) then press ‘New Site’ ant set up host: (view from ps3 FTP server) port: 21 server type: FTP Logon Type : Normal User: FTPD12345 pass: (leave blank)
-You will see a tab that says ‘Transfer Settings’. You want to limit the connections to 2 (One for browsing the PS3 and one for transferring.. If you set this to 1 you will only be able to browse the PS3 if you’re not transferring anything).
-hit Connect!
-Browse to folder (BLUSXXXX) on your PC and transfer the entire folder to /dev_hdd0/game/(BUM DISC ID)/GAMEZ on your PS3
Start the game from backup manager (eg. Multiman, Rogero) and enjoy.

Hi,
I cannot play the games if the disk is not inserted.
I have to insert the disk, load the saved game and then I can remove the disk from my PS3.
If there is no disk, the system just closes multiman and returns to the XMB.
Sometimes I get the black screen and I have to restart the machine.
Please help me

Hey Admin,
Can i be able to play new games after i downgrade to 3.55 and crack it like how you say?
(games that are released after the official release of 3.7 or 4.00 by Playstation.
Eg: Fifa 12/ WWE12 etc which are new in market)
I recently heard you can only play games till version 3.55 and the new games cannot be played with crack version. Is it true?
Thanks

Try google : “pes 2012 ebot 3.55″

I know this guide is probably dated now, but I have an important question to ask… I just bought a new PS3 Slim and I want to mod it to play game backups from the HDD without a disk, however I also do not wish to be banned from PSN. It would suck very much to burn that bridge right after I just bought the PS3. I occasically would like to play with friends online too.
Yes, I’ve already read the comments about not being able to play online with this mod, but I’ve also read that the mod can original firmware can be restored to allow online play. Having my PS3 “BANNED” is what really conerns me though. Any thoughts?
Best tut ever! Finaly hacked my PS3 —– God bless u for writing such a great post!
Haha, what a comment
))))))))))))))))

Well is there any possibility of a permanent damage to the device via this method ?
what shld we write in port and host ….. plzz reply fast plzz plzz reply fast i m waiting …….
Will this delete my DLC and save data?
Somebody essentially help to make critically posts I might state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to make this actual post extraordinary. Magnificent activity!
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I’ve truly loved browsing your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!
So here’s my question. Knowing that this hack only applies to firmware 3.55 and under, how does the whole pirating game situation look? For example, i know that Ratchet & Clank Future Tools of destruction was made before firmware 3.55, so if i download it, it will work. Now lets look at a newer game, like Resident Evil Umbrella secrets or whatever its called, that was made to run on the newer 4.1 firmware. If i were to torrent the newer games, would they work on this hack which is for older firmwares?
I’m trying the last option, and I just wanted to know if downloading that PS3 FTP Server to my ps3 would harm it or whatever is already on there in anyway, and if it can ever be uninstalled. It’s my brother’s ps3, and I didn’t want to mess it up.
The game I’ll be transferring from my pc to ps3. are they pc games?
