Hey TTG! It's Hoen bringing you a tutorial on how to get a ton of free PSN games on your Ps3 with Custom Firmware. No this will NOT work on any OFW. This is my method of how to do this, there is another but I think this is less complicated. Let's begin...!






What you'll need first off:

-PSNStuff (It's an .exe application) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-ReactPSN (.pkg file)http://www.mediafire.com/?x6bp0qrxn1pxm83
-The RAP file in PSNStuff (You'll find out)
-Blackb0x (For FTP Transfer)http://www.mediafire.com/?vpvwy9hsf6kzu2o
-Fillezilla (For FTP Transfer) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-USB
-CFW 4.xx For this method






Step 1.

After PSNStuff is installed, open the program. It should look like this...
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I'm currently downloading a game, GTA 4 by simply clicking Download

Once opened, you can browse through the games or DLC you want, to get PSN games sort the filter to 'PSN' & browse
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]






Step 2.

Once you find the game you want, click download. The download bar should start at the bottom.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

While it's downloading or when it is done, click 'save rap' This will save the file which makes the game be able to be played.

Step 3.

In this step, you will need to find your RAP file that you saved. The first time, I didn't know where it was saved. Maybe it was my computer. I found it in my downloads. Another game it saved it on my Desktop.

The RAP file is ALWAYS in a FOLDER called EXDATA. Find the folder 'exdata', if it is not in Downloads or Desktop, you may have to search your computer. Which is no big deal.

Okay, once you found your exdata folder, move it to the root of your USB so it looks like this...
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Okay now you can plug your flash drive into your Ps3 or just wait until it is needed & set it aside.






Step 4.

This step requires your download to be done. Your download is saved as a .Pkg file, which to me is very clean & simplistic so it isn't like a torrent game where there's many files & folders.

Okay, PSNStuff saves the game .Pkg file into a folder that is fittingly called 'PKG'. Mine was automatically saved to my desktop. Again, look for it in your downloads or search your computer.

Now you have your game as a .Pkg file like this
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
As you can see I have games in there already ready to be installed.






Step 5.

Now it is time to move your game onto your Ps3 hard disk!

You will need to go on your PS3 with internet Enabled. Install Blackb0x if you have not, & open it. Your IP should be there.

Now open up Filezilla. It should look like this
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Where it says 'Host' type your IP you see on Blackb0x. Click 'Quickconnect'.

Now you should see all your HDD Directories from your Ps3.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

On the right side files(Ps3), click on dev_hdd0. Which should open this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Now go to your left side where your files are. Wherever your 'pkg' folder is with your game, find that & open the directory to see your game as .pkg file.

Then Right click your game, click upload. You'll see it, I can't screenshot that.

Now go to your Ps3 side(right side ), Right click your 'packages' folder & press 'Download' , it's the same place as the Upload was.

Now your file should be transferring to your Ps3 as you can see from the bottom of Filezilla, where it has the Queued Files suboption. Your status of the file should be there.

Let your game download & transfer untouched. Do not exit out of Blackb0x.






Step 6.

Now, your USB should be ready to be plugged in & your file transfer of the game is complete!

Now, the order of these next 2 steps does not really matter so I'll just do it how I want

I don't have a capture card so no pictures for this part. On your Ps3, navigate over all the way to the left to 'Users' Obviously you should be logged in to yours.

Select 'Create New User' & name it to 'aa' without the '' haha. Do not log into it!

Okay now, since you are on 4.xx CFW which means any CFW spoofed above 4.00, go to your 'Package Manager' under 'Game'. Go like you're going to install package files. Now you should have options under install pkg files like PS3 Hard Disk, Package Folder, & Standard Package Location. Click 'PS3 Hard Disk' & your game should be there. Now, install it.






Step 7.

Final step! Your game should be installed. Now don't open it just yet.

Plug your USB in & install ReactPSN. Remember there is the 'exdata' folder on your USB with your RAP file inside of it. Your 'aa' user should also be there.

Once you checked those things, run ReactPSN. Your system should reboot. Now your game should be on the XMB menu under game like before, but start it this time. If it asks for an update, ignore it for now until I can see whether it makes the game not work.






Extra Note:

Some games have bad files so they won't work right. I've had this happen to me while transferring.

I have had a few people asking me about this the last couple of days so I decided to make a tutorial.

It's because of the file. You can't really fix the file... What game is it?

The file most probably was larger than 4 gig,and you tried to copy it to a fat 32 formated usb drive.
Split or ftp it to your ps3.
