r/ps3homebrew

Unfortunately, as of yesterday, the creator of the Yo! Player app has admitted that Google’s new updates have broken the app and that there seems to be no easy fix.

Equally unfortunately, I have been relying on the official ps3 YouTube app to watch YouTube on my CRT for many years, and I just hacked my ps3 with Hen last week.

Is there a way around? The best solution I can think of is using a burner PSN account to open the official YouTube app, without Hen enabled.

Any better ideas?

Thanks to the guide of MrMario2011, I have opened the PS3 with his easy method.
I have BombMan, or how it is called, on my PS3, everything so far is going smooth. Yet, I ask you:
what to do now?

I mean, is there a list of possible alternatives about what to do with a jailbroken PS3? Like emulation, for what, how, how do I get the files? But even for other things...I mainly did this thing just because I could, not because I knew what I would do after.

I'm looking to convert an iso to pkg and edit a config to fix a loading issue and noticed the page for ez psp2ps3 on consolemods says the file may contain malicious code. Can anyone here verify if that's true or is it safe to use and just getting false flagged? I'm unsure of what other program to use if not. Any help is appreciated!

I accidentally overwrote my sh2 save on my cfw ps3. I can’t seem to find an option to see if the data is still on there using Apollo save tool, but I was also thinking maybe I could find a backup from before I deleted it from the last time I used winscp to download a game? Any advice on what I could do would be much appreciated

This probably gets asked a lot but I’m wondering which carries a higher ban risk CFW or HEN? I’m not really interested in modding online within games and will be strictly using my PS3 so I can get free avatars for my main account and using a ps2 emulator offline. I’ve seen multiple people go years without bans so any tips would help, I’m somewhat familiar with PSN Patch and Webman for staying safe online but I’m still new to PS modding.

Hi guys, after nearly 10 eyars i will finally fix my first edition backward compatibility PS3 model with the Frankenstein mod. Yeah, it cost a fuckton but is deserved, since I've started to collect again for PS2/PS1 and of course PS3, plus all the possibilities of homebrew on PS3(already have homebrewed and modified consoles like Gamecube, Wii U, PSP, DS and etc).

I really dont know alot about performance mods for PS3, just reading a lot about the Undervolt mod being a good ''combo'' with a 40nm rsx PS3 diminishing the heat factor, but about it? it fucks de performance of the PS3 for high demanding games?

And about the overclock? Should I ask the technician to also overclock the RSX to somewhat safety levels? its worth? it can be compatible with undervolt mod or one cannot exist with the other? Since it'sa CECHA01 and i want it to live many years with all the other cleaning stuff, delid, repaste, capacitor change, etc., that the tech guy will do, is it still worth for some few extra 3/4 fps on games like Skyrim, and others? i will also install an 480gb SSD on it.

Hey everyone,

I have been working on a GTA Online revival server for PS3 called Last Gen Online, and i recently opened it up for Closed Beta.

I know there are already a bunch of GTA:O servers around, so my goal isn’t to just make another server where you can connect and play GTA Online exactly like the other servers.

my goal is trying to bring back most of GTA:O content back (including unused/unreleased Rockstar features that other servers haven't implemented)

For example, I already have a proof-of-concept working for a tournament system that Rockstar created but never actually released.

The server is also going to be heavily community-driven. I want the people actually playing it to have a say in what gets worked on, what features get added, and what kinds of events we run.

Right now, though, I need testers.

The server only entered Closed Beta recently, so bugs are basically guaranteed. Things will break, features might not work properly, and there are probably issues I don’t even know about yet.and thats why YOU can help me make this server as good as possible

My current goal is to eventually get around 30+ concurrent players during testing. Having actual players online at the same time makes it much easier to find problems that I simply can't reproduce by testing everything myself.

What I'm looking for

Mostly just people who still enjoy GTA Online on PS3 and are willing to:

• Play the server

• Try different parts of the game

• Find and report bugs

• Stress-test things with other players

• Give feedback and feature ideas

• Help build an actual active community

You don't need to be some serious tester either. Just playing normally helps

There’s still a lot of work to do, but I want to turn this into something more interesting than another basic GTA Online revival.

so if there's any suggestions/feedback or old features from GTA:O you wanna see back just join the discord

Discord: https://discord.gg/K2pP35RVMU

and we will do the best we can to make this experience better.

I'm trying to hack my ps3 but it wont let me download the things from the system manager tab

Was just wondering if there were any ways I can access or even create 24/7 streaming of cartoons/anime using my jailbroken ps3? I just like the idea of opening an app and having it run random episodes constantly. Thought it would be a nice addition to my console. I have some ideas but additional help would be appreciated. Thanks :-)

Ive recently gotten into homebrewing my ps3 super slim, and have been having a blast so far, duping my physical games, finding some neat things to do with my ps3, even playing some GTA 5 online with the community server.

But im not sure if its only me, ive looked up extensively, but I have so many issues when using WebMan, its so useful, I love all the settings it has, FTP from the main menu is great, but half the time when I open a game my ps3 will just freeze and I will need to force restart it, multiple times, sometimes games will work, and sometimes it wont, but when i uninstall Webman, bam, everything is back as it should be, just works fine, but I miss having all the features so, does anyone page any advice in what I could try ?

Ive tried reinstalling it several times, ive tried installing lite mode, ive tried swapping my HDD with an SSD, still had the same issues, ive tried formatting the drive, ive changed the fan speed mode, i feel like ive tried so much to make this darn thing work, but I guess it isn't meant to be, Multiman works fine.​

So, either everyrhing works perfectly, i can refresh the games and XMB, play any game, basically everything is ok. But the next time or the next Webman mod will just freeze the controller when trying to load up a game, or when trying to refresh games and XMB, it kicks out to xmb, i can load up a pkg game and play, and webman is accessible, but nothing happens if you try to click on anything, after a normal or forced reload everything is alright. The problem just annoying, i mean i can play if i reload but i want just boot up and play. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,I’m looking for basically everything unlocked all cars, upgrades, bosses, career completed etc. Ideally the BMW M3 GTR/Audi and all the special/bonus cars too.

I’m on PS3 CFW and need an actual PS3 save

Tried to use ones only from GameFaq but none works

Thank you

I have a CECHL03 PS3 which I have installed cfw and repasted and set a 70°c temp limit, I overclocked it to 650mhz core and 750mhz vram and in black flag the difference is night and day, should I revert to stock clocks or keep the overclock, and is my overclock safe

UPDATE: I'm beginning to suspect it is just an astronomical coincidence. The more I look into this, the more it appears the GPU might have been damaged while trying to separate the plate from the motherboard. I'll leave this post up in case someone happens to experience the same.

Or at least, if it didn't, the timing is astronomical.

My PS3 is a CECH-2501a that I decided to install MultiMAN on for educational purposes. I'm fairly new to the modding community, but tried to do my due diligence of watching a few different videos on YouTube to see the preferred way to install the needed packages.

After I first attempt to launch MultiMAN, the PlayStation 3 became unresponsive and the video output started to glitch terribly. I ultimately unplugged the power cable (learned immediately after this is a big nono and stopped doing that but just noting it here). The PlayStation 3 then experienced an issue where pressing the power button would just leave the light hung on green and nothing would happen. Ultimately, I was able to initialize the PlayStation 3 again by doing the following:

1. Remove SSD
2. Power on and get error for no storage
3. Power off
4. Reinsert SSD
5. Boot in safe mode

Assuming this was a fluke, I did a complete clean reinstall and then attempted to go through the process again. This time, MultiMan succeeds in setup but the same glitch output ultimately happens again. Only, this time, nothing I do can get this playstation 3 to start up. I can't get any screen to appear nor boot it in safe mode. Even using another HDD doesn't work.

This playstation has been well taken care of, cleaned regularly and performed just fine. I recently upgraded the HDD to a SSD, replaced the thermal paste and battery, but there are no signs of potential damage on the motherboard that are obvious from taking a look at it. This leads me hesitant to think that it's a hardware issue considering both "bricking" instances occurred during some package initialization.

I could really use some help in getting my bearings here. I'm happy to answer questions in the comments as necessary. I just want help troubleshooting what situation I'm dealing with here. I just want to know if this is salvageable or if I made a critical error. Thank you!
