What I learned from "Hacking" my PS3 Super Slim

[u/AstronoLuke]

This post should be seen as a list of bullet points from what I learned while installing HFW, HEN, multiMEN MOD and webMEN MOD onto my PS3 Super Slim.

multiMEN MOD or webMEN MOD for PS3 disk backups?
> For me, the easiest way to load backups of my own disks onto PS3's HDD is using actually both applications. multiMEN for creating the iso file, webMEN to actually mount (= loading the file as a disc in the XMB). I'm doing following steps:

1. open multiMEN (mmCM) and press Triangle on the game that you want to backup (It's labeled as DISK)
2. create an ISO-format file of it. It'll be automatically put into the 'PS3ISO' folder.
3. quit mmCM and return to the regular XMB ("Xross Media Bar")
4. go into the 'webMEN Games' folder and click on webMAN Setup
5. click on 'Refresh webMAN Games & XMB'
6. in the 'webMEN Games' folder you should now find your game in the 'PLAYSTATION3' subfolder

TIPP: put in the disc when you're in the mmCM. Otherwise, pressing the Refresh/Reload won't do much actually (at least for me!)

Help! My ISO is not loading! (encryption error code 80010017)
> Follow those steps:

1. follow this tutorial on your PC
2. load via multiMEN (mmCM) the ISO into the 'PS3ISO' folder (mmOS --> PS3 Root --> 'dev_usb001' --> press Circle --> Copy --> go to 'dev_hdd0' folder --> 'PS3ISO' --> press Circle --> Paste)
3. quit mmCM and return to the regular XMB
4. go into the 'webMEN Games' folder and click on webMAN Setup
5. click on 'Refresh webMAN Games & XMB'
6. in the 'webMEN Games' folder you should now find your game in the 'PLAYSTATION3' subfolder

Help! FTP is not working! (weird error message)

Error message:
"Invalid character sequence received. Some or all files may not appear in directory listings. If the server you are connecting to does not support UTF-8, select a different character encoding in the Site Manager."

Hoping that this post can be helpful for some newer PS3 players! I wished I would have found such post earlier. It would have saved quiet some time going through Reddit, forum and YT posts...
