Haven't really looked into it.
I'm sure there are some neat things that can be done with it but I haven't come across anything I really need.
I'd like a fix for having to play Crash 2 on my ps3 direction pad.

Hey I have my ps3 getting dust for a long time, does any of you have a good guide on how to "hack" it?

This is a pretty good guide.
youtube.com/watch?v=nSJK5vdYKIc

What's the point? So you can put emulators and Homebrew on it only to get bored and never touch it again? I can see it being useful for piracy but that's it

You can also do fun stuff like use Xbox 360/Xbox one controllers, or write your own drivers for otherwise incompatible hardware if you are into that kind of stuff.

I'm gonna be honest here: the Reddit homebrew was very comprehensive and worked.
If you try to find something through search engine, it brings up some shady websites that don't actually give viable information.
It comes down to checking which ps3 model you have (check the CECH code), see if it's viable, follow instructions based on whether it's NAND or NOR.

How do I start games which are ISO files?
I'm picking "BD emulator" with disc in it and it doesn't work

Thanks user, but I have a ps3 slim

Place in PS3ISO folder and boot from webman's xmb plugin

Do you have the regular slim, or the super slim? Most regular slims are hack-able.

That what I did, I see games icon and all, just can't make it run. Always back to xmb menu

Trying to translate a ps2 game but stuck playing Persona 3 again

>Hacking a PS3
A Wii U or any other nintendo console I understand because none of the games go on sale fucking EVER but its literally over a decade old and the games go for pennies now days. So I ask how fucking poor are you people unironically?

Regular slim for my luck

I make 12k a year but I live with my parents, is there something wrong with wanting more control over what I can do with my tech, user?

>Pirating on PC

Not that guy, but he didn't mean Multiman (I assume, since the black screen thing happens to me too) but the Webman in your regular XMB, under games.
Open it, browse to ps3 games, select, it'll open the web browser, close and the game should now be loaded as if it were a disc.

ok but what games should I play on it?

o rite, it has no gaems.

This is how I felt, until I jailbreaked it and now I at least have to pretend it does to see if there's anything worth playing that didn't capture my interest.

.pkg > ISO

I did this just yesterday to avoid spending $40 on Yakuza 5. Pleased so far!

Nier is expensive af and hard to find.

So first go to the Multi, pick Emulate BD and from HDD, when go to Webman and again go to Multi?

>Bought hacked PS3 early this year
>Finished exactly 1 game on it
>Sold it last month
Maybe when I feel like playing games again

Scott Pilgrim vs the World saved by it

Can I get muh trophies if i hack my PS3

You can

but will i get banned

Just use PSN patch.

Most likely yeah
Sony doesn't want to unplug the PS3's life support yet so they still ban CFW users if they don't use PSNinja and shit like that

I still have a hacked phat with native PS2 guts.

>mfw super slim

I'm upset. I really want to play Yakuza 5 but
>paying for a digital game
>that's not on sale

The ps3 had a CFW since 2008 that was updated for every fw, are you retarded?

Hell, you can still fucking pirate subscriptions on it like a FFXIV subscription.

Stop living under a fucking rock.

You don't need to be online for trophies
And yes, you will be banned, if you will try to log in your PSN account.

>Bought Gateway
>3DS gets software hack a month later
>Bought E3 Flasher
>PS3 gets software hack a month later
Anyway I've mostly been ripping my games to try with RPCS3

There hasn't been an exploitable firmware since 3.55.

You won't get banned. Stop fearmongering.

t. played online for years with multiplayer hacks on my PS3.

I have a hardware backward compatible phat PS3 but afraid to do the heating element trick again.

Dumb FF weeb, can't even read

As cool as this is, it's way too late. The only PS3 game I've yet to play that I actually care about playing is Red Dead Redemption because the secondhand market for PS3 games has been so cheap for so long.

What even is there to do?

Yes, listen to him

Try to run The Last of Us

You can hang yourself

You can add extra features to your PS3, like a game DVR.

tried and failed
too fat

Sounds like a personal problem, dipshit

Use gun or coward way - pills

You're retarded. There have been plenty of exploits in the recent years that allowed you to downgrade to 3.55, then upgrade to a current version CFW. How fucking new are you to PSP/PS3 flashing?

psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models

Allow me to repeat, there has not been an exploitable firmware since 3.55, this is a native exploit for 4.82.

yeah and you needed to have a capable model plus a hardware flasher which costs money, this is all software

>Buying chink's flashdrivers with communists virus

is it possible to play PS2 iso?

*Yes

psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List

It is, but PS2 emulator is a mess and it only supports few games.
PSone emulator on other hand working 110%

if I buy the original phat model that supports hardware emulation will it run all games?

Don't think so, ask phat users

I first hacked my PS3 when Killzone 3 came out, got the K3 bundle. It's pretty damn great, just missing out on a lot of games because I couldn't or really haven't tried to get ReactPSN working. Game fixes are now hard to come by.

Honestly thinking about buying a ps3 slim

You don't need PSN for game patches, they are downloading from separate servers which doesn't care/can't detect CFW users

Go local, scalpers already took notice and prices skyrocketed

Yeah I’ll probably look at my local GameStop for a good price

How hard would it be to hack my PS3 and play english Tales of Vesperia if i have a physical disc of the japanese version

hacking the PS3 isnt super hard, but you would probably just be better off running an English ISO off your hard drive.

I don't think it's possible, sorry user

The ps3 overheated and i boxed it before it got worse.

It ok, just play it again. Works fine on my PS3

Testing

Why don't you test this long hard dicc

>Had two PS3s
>Both broke
>Gave one to friend to fix
>Never talked about it again
I think one just has the green light come on for about 10 seconds then turns off, and the other one turns on but doesn't show anything

3D Dot Game Heroes is rare as fuck.

Yakuza 5, Siren and Deception 4: Nightmare Princess will never go on sales.

Tales of vesperia i guess

I got ylod 5 days after CFW. I'm looking forward to RPCS3 now.

Not patches, but .pkg or .rap fixes. They're used to unlock or bypass any PSN game. Like Batman Origins Blackgate has a demo from PSN, but with a .pkg or .rap fix it unlocks the whole game, just as if you bought it

.raps are used with ReactPSN.

Nier's $28 on Amazon though
