Welcome to the Awesome Guide to PS3 Hacking!


Now if you have found yourself here, you probally already have gone through a ton of information and are no closer to understanding how to hack your PS3!

This is the exact reason I made this Thread and guide, as the PS3 scene is so new that if you dont keep up on it everyday you'll have no clue whats going on!


I'm including what I think is safe for your PS3 and will get you running "backups" and homebrew in no time, with little or no chance of hurting your console.

I will keep this thread updated with the newest info and links as I follow the scene very closely.

I also want to say Ive made this guide as safe as possible and there have been zero report of bricks (aka you just Fudged your PS3) with this method, but as when comes to messing with the PS3 there is a very very slight chance you can do harm to your console.

Now of course I do not condone piracy. This guide is for educational purposes only and no files are hosted in this guide.

OK now that we got that out of the way, let get you started! All you have to do is click the "Get Started" link on the Right hand side. So WTF you waiting for! Get to it!


Getting Started:

Now lets start off by telling you what you'll need to have to safely as possible hack your ps3. At the time I'm writing this you'll need a PS3 with 3.55 firmware or lower.

It doesn't matter if its a fat or slim or the model..... thats the best thing about doing it this way (what I call the safe way).

You will also need a USB thumb drive or external drive. Both have to be formatted to fat32 for the PS3 to read them.

Also download and install Winrar just good it links are down. Its a lot like Winzip but better and most file on the Internet use this file extension.

OK first to keep things organized I want you to create a folder on your desktop called PS3 Hack.

Then inside that folder create another folders - Custom Firmware, hacks within hacks put a folder with each game you wish yo hack

Next your going to download geohots firmware yes hes sued but i had it you get nothing bad

OK you now have all the files you'll need to hack your PS3! The next part is not as hard as you think and well worth it in the end! Click the Install Custom Firmware link in the Right menu!
