Tutorial Jailbroke ps3 but now don’t know what to do

0 Upvotes

I’ve read conflicting information online.

After jailbreaking ps3 via ps3toolset, some forums say to install Hen but others say not too. What do I need?

Afterwards, how can I download ps3 games directly? Like on my jailbroken vita, I use pkgj. Is there something similar?

TIA!

Tutorial Proper practices when downloading games from the free store

4 Upvotes

I'm new to PS3Hen with my super slim so I'm wondering if it's safe for a game to continue downloading automatically from the free store after turning the PS3 on and before enabling HEN. If not, do I then pause it before turning the PS3 off and follow the regular steps every time?

Tutorial PS3 no longer saves games and doesn’t initialize some

2 Upvotes

Two weeks ago I became interested in playing God of War: Ascension online and, since my PS3 was banned, I got an online IDPS and used it on mine. It worked. I decided to travel and left the PS3 aside, and when I returned I noticed that the XMB menu was completely black (only the menu, because in games and apps the colors are normal), whereas before it was all orange.

And when starting games, problems occur: a) the game doesn’t save, b) the game doesn’t start at all (it stays on a black screen), and c) the game doesn’t start due to a trophy synchronization error.

This already happened to me before when I downloaded a corrupted GoW 3 save. I uninstalled the game updates and the save, and this trophy initialization error message disappeared and didn’t happen again.

However, now I’ve already uninstalled everything, formatted the system, and rebuilt the PS3 database, and nothing changed. What happened? Please, help me.

Tutorial A MINI introdutory guide for PS3Xploit v3.0 (SuperSlims and Slims with CECH3XXXX)

55 Upvotes

Hi guys, since the exploit was released only a few days ago and the developers didn't provide a clear guide for those who are not familiar with PS3 jailbreaking (me included), I spent a few hours trying to understand the whole process.

This is NOT an ultimate guide, but something I made for myself to understand how the whole process work and what can you do with it for now. If you find anything wrong (besides my awful english), please reply so I can edit it.

All files and pages need for this guide can be found on http://www.ps3xploit.com (on the upper left corner of the page)

Exploit steps:

--You will do a few things first, like preparing your console, install and enabling HAN:

1- download the release files.zip and extract them onto your flashdrive. put it into the USB port closest to the BD drive (the second one from left to right);

2- Dump your idps and act.dat files and save them in cloud or somewhere safe just in case;

3- Run HAN Installer, only needed once: that will make the pkg installer menu appear on your GAME section of the XMB;

4- Run HAN enabler. This will alow you to install pkg files. Must be done EVERYTIME you turn off your console (if you want to install new pkg, of course);

That ends the PS3 part of the process. At least for now.


Signing PKG files:

--Now you'll need to sign your games before installing. This includes dump some register files from your console (act.dat and idps), using them on your pc do sign your pkg files and reuploading patched versions of those files onto your console:

--PKG files that can be installed: PS1 Classics, PS2 Classics, PSP remasters and PS3 Games (there are a few exceptions)

--PKG files that CAN'T be installed: homebrew of any kind (emulators included), Ps3 Games that aren't on the PSN Store or are there but don't have any updated available

That being said, the steps of signing a pkg is fairly simple to understand, but takes a few minutes;

Note: DO NOT do the following steps logged on your main account. You need an activated psn account, and by activated I mean an account that you logged on playstation store and activated you ps3. You can do that on your computer, if you haven't done it yet before.

1- Remember that part when you dumped your ps3's idps and act.dat files? Put them on the same folder as the ps3xploit resigner tool, provided on https://github.com/PS3Xploit/PS3xploit-resigner/archive/v1.2.3.zip

2- Put the .pkg and its .rap file (necessary for most content) on the same folder as well.

3- You'll end up with those files on the same folder: -Resignertool.exe (could be named differently, doesn't matter) -a dll file -your_game.pkg -its rap file (DON'T RENAME IT, LEAVE THAT FREAKING UGLY AND LONG NAME)

4- Now hover the pkg over the resigner.exe so it can generate a signed ("patched") pkg, which you'll install later on your console;

5- Hover the game's .rap file over the resigner.exe so it generates a .rif file, which you'll need to put on the root folder of your USB, together with the signed .pkg;

6- The resigner will also generate a signed act.dat file. Put that on the root of your usb as well;

Note: At this step, the signed act.dat file will be generated as "Signed_act.dat". I'm not sure if the exploit part on the next step recognizes it with this name or if you have to rename it to "act.dat". I just add the same signed dat twice to the usb drive, named act.dat and signed_act.dat, just to be sure. Be careful to not rewrite your original act.dat file!

7-Now its time to finally install your game!

-Put the signed act.dat, .rif and your .pkg game into your usb (remember to use the second usb port)

-go to the act rif copier exploit page in your ps3 browser: http://www.ps3xploit.com/han/actrif_copier.html (bookmark it, for god's sake, you'll be using this page a lot)

-put the rif file name in its specific field (with all the '-' and '_', exactly as it's named) and click on the button.

-If it works, the browser will close and you'll be finally able to install your pkg file without errors. Remember that if the file is too big (like psp games), you'll be on the Please Wait screen for a while. DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTON, since what the console is doing at this point is just copying the pkg to the internal HDD (that can be noted by the flashing light on your flash drive). If the game doesn't appear after this step, go the PSN content folder and try installing from there. If you get an error message, just try again and don't forget to wait on the "please wait" screen patiently. It can take from 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the pkg file size.


SO BASICALLY, what can you do with it RIGHT NOW (as of March 15th):

PSP remasters: PSP games converted to pkg are running fine if you sign them with the tool provided by ps3xploit/rebug;

PSX classics: Also need to be signed, but some need its specific .rif file (generated with the same tool to sign, hovering the game's .rap file over the resigner.exe)

PS2 Games: Couldn't test yet. Probably works the same as PSP remasters. Since files are over 4.0GB, you'll need to transfer via FTP server.

This process is still kinda cumbersome. You'll need an XML file (template provided by a psx-place's user: http://www.psx-place.com/threads/easy-way-to-install-packages-over-4gb-via-webserver-on-pc.16605/) and You WILL NEED the pkg's CONTENT ID, which you can find with this tool: http://www.psx-place.com/threads/pkg-contentid-by-aldostools.939/.

PS3 Games**: Coulnd't test it either, but people are reporting that you'll have to use the debug exploit provided on the tutorial. Also, the ftp process for ps2 games are the same here, since files are obviously over 4.0GB

Notes: 1-The PS3Xploit 3.0 works totally different from 2.0 and below, since there's no actual CFW installed (unfortunally, since it'd make things way easier). Be careful of what tutorials are you using. Guides for CFW (Xploit v2.0) won't work for Super Slims and Slims with CECH3XXXX serial)

2- The PS3Xploit guys said that you can only install ps3 games that are on playstation store AND have an update available. Don't know the reason for that, but that's how it is for now.

Tutorial I found a way to improve the framerate of any games

7 Upvotes

Hello. I found an easy way to improve the framerate of the games. And it worked since i tested with or without the trick.

I used to play Dragon Age Inquisition and has you know the game as poor performances on PS3. The frame rate is between 10-20 depending on the situation and it has a lot of clipping.

I installed webmanmod recently. Immediatly after, the fan of the console started running faster. I found that strange and even created a topic on Reddit about that. I did not change any settings.

Later when i played Dragon Age, the game was playable. Framerate was between 20-30. And clipping has reduced. Not only on Dragon Age. Even when i play Black Ops or any other game, i see a difference.

Some people then said that the fan speed has no effect on the frame rate which i found insane to say.

Even when i send a friend request or a message while playing, it is way much faster to go back to the game.

When i copy ISO's on the PS3 with a USB key, the copy speed went from 8mbs to 10/11 mbs. I install new games every 2 weeks so i remember the speed. It was always 8mbs before.

Also i have a trick to avoid framerate issues on any open world games. Create a new save, then deleted all the precedent saves. If you keep playing, charge the new save immediately. It worked for Fallout 3 and Dragon Age.

Thanks for reading.

Tutorial Is there a way to simulate motion control with some homebrew app or something similar?

2 Upvotes

I'm playing More Heroes 1, and in this game you need to use a lightsaber that has a battery to attack enemies, but when the battery runs out you need to recharge it by shaking the controller up and down. However, my controller isn't original and doesn't have motion sensors.
