Instructions to Jailbreak PS3 using kmeaw cfw 3.55: If your Playstation 3 is already on firmware version 3.55 you can proceed with installing the kmeaw custom firmware directly. Else, you first need to upgrade to 3.55 OFW.

The day everyone has been waiting for, is finally upon us. KaKaRoTo, famous for his work on the PL3 payload, has released a tool/script that converts a standard v3.55 Sony retail firmware PUP, into a custom version. The custom firmware allows the installation of PKG files, without the need for a jailbreak. Please note, this does not appear to have the necessary patches in place, that are necessary for playing backups. However, that is a very trivial detail, considering the grand spectrum of what KaKaRoTo has achieved. First CFW working. Grab, then './create_cfw.sh PS3UPDAT.355.PUP CFW.PUP'.

Permanently adds 'install pkg files' menu.

Crystal reports for net framework 20 x64 redistributable package 64 bit. Click to expand.That isn't really all that true. The Wii hasn't lost by any means. The Wii has had massive hardware sales from when it was launched then the people who really wanted it already purchased it. Then when it was cracked the Wii got an even higher boost in sales because it was possible for emulators, backups/piracy.etc.

It's rather pointless to put this out as an update because it's practically pointless, doesn't do very much. By him not allowing backups, he is just delaying the inevitable. It will happen sooner or later that much is for sure. I just wish they would we could remove the DRM or rip PS1 games as I won't purchase PS1 games that I already own.

I suppose i could disc swap but I would like to keep the life of my Blu-Ray drive in the best shape possible.

PS3 4.82 CFW Installation Guide for Dummies​ Welcome to my first Sony Playstation 3™ guide! I’ll be covering the installation of Custom Firmware (CFW) on an Official Firmware (OFW) v4.82 console. CFW allows you to run unsigned code often called “Homebrew” on your PS3. Examples of the types of homebrew you can use are a multimedia video player, emulators, game backups and even a program that will remove the Cinavia DRM from the console. You can install CFW on your PS3 if it is a “Phat” or “Slim” model, but not on the “Super Slim” (top disc loading) models. Not all Slim PS3 are supported so you’ll want to make sure to not to mess with the console or otherwise you’ll “brick” (ruin) it.

You also do not want to try to install the exploit covered in this guide on an already CFW PS3 system or you will “brick”. First off you’re going to need to see if your PS3 can be hacked.

You can do this by checking the minimum firmware version of your PS3. This is accomplished by running a fake update program on your PS3 that will display the minimum firmware. This method is by far fool proof as simply checking your consoles serial number can lead to assumptions based on what is known about the PS3 models. ​ You’ll first need to acquire the “MVC Firmware Checker” after which you will need to using a program like 7-zip or WinRAR.

Once you’ve extracted the archive you’ll end up with a file named “PS3UPDAT.PUP” and you need to place it on a USB Hard Disk Drive or Flash Drive which. Once you have your medium formatted create a folder under the of the drive named “PS3” (without the quotes) and inside of that folder create another folder called “UPDATE” and then place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file inside of the UPDATE folder.
