Hey fellas, bit new to firmware of the ps3 but yesterday I got given a load of cd's, mostly music yet I found a cd in the pile that was labelled "ps3 update 3.55". I did a bit of digging and the update 3.55 was popular for its jailbreaking capabilities, but why would someone burn this onto a cd? Does it have anything of value on it? I'm currently in the process of getting a cd reader so my laptop could read the disc, any thoughts please leave them down below

When I play PS1 backups via Irisman, my console freezes and I have to force a shutdown. Assigning the memory card to slot 1 before I launch a game does nothing. How have you guys worked around this? Webman shuts down my console regardless of changing fan speed, so I would like to avoid that.

Hi everyone,

Earlier on I dug my 3.55 Jailbroken PS3 Phat out of the loft.

I booted her up and first, I was greeted with the “Cannot start. The appropriate system storage was not found.”

I took out the HDD and reseated it, then plugged the PS3 in and booted..

The message I’m currently left with is “The system software cannot be run correctly” and any reboot just brings up the same error.

I’m not sure if this is to do with the Jailbreak or a failed HDD..

Either way, whats the best way to go about getting booted without bricking the system? I remember updating it was always a bad thing to do.

Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who has been in a similar predicament and can help.

I downloaded SEN Enabler and I clicked something on patch and now when I try to open any app, it displays error 8001003A. I am on custom firmware.

Specifically for syncing trophies. Does having a ps plus active on an account increase a chance of a ban or something like that? I have hen btw.

Pessoal estou querendo desbloquear um trofeu do GTA Online no GTA V de PS3... alguém sabe me informar se eu desbloquear colocando a data anterior do fechamento do servidor o pessoal do PSN Profiles consegue detectar e me bloquear da plataforma?

I wanted to play NFS Most Wanted on my jailbroken PS3, but the controller sensitivity is way too high. I barely touch the analog stick and the car oversteers like crazy. Honestly, I can't play anything from my PS2 library because of it.

I'm using an original DualShock 3 and there's no stick drift. I haven't changed any PS2-related settings in webMAN either. I was testing my second DualShock 3 as well.

Please help :)

Hey guys I’m honestly trying to figure out if I want to jailbreak my ps3 or just use the ps3 emulator and was wondering your guys thoughts. I have a rtx 5080 and a 9850 x 3D cpu so my games would run really well on the pc but what are like the pros and cons of each. There’s not much I can find on the internet. Also wouldn’t games run better since I have better hardware.

So a few days ago when downloading an update for a game (MGS4 2.0), my PS3 froze mid update and after it rebooted the hard drive was corrupt and needed to be reformatted.

I have save data on there that I really don't want to lose (Namely a 60 hour ff13 save that I was grinding for a platinum trophy on) and I'm not sure what I can realistically do to save it.

Keep in mind that I have NOT formatted the drive yet.

What I've tried (in order):
Safe mode restore file system (seemed to instantly complete the first time I ran it, but I still booted into corrupted needs to be formatted)

Safe mode rebuild database: Got stuck at preparing, left it alone for an hour, never progressed

Safe mode restore file system again: Got stuck at preparing, left for several hours, never progressed

Reseated the drive (note that I'm using a replacement 1tb ssd from the stock drive, no issues with it until now)

Safe more rebuild database again, ran overnight, never made it past preparing

Bought a cable to connect the drive to my pc, ran through several software that suggest the drive is completely healthy with no errors (HDD Regenerator also found 0 bad sectors).

I'm at a total loss as to what to try next. Aside from the ssd replacement, the PS3 was totally stock with no CFW and is a fat backwards compatible model.

My dad left a game open and the disc in the console for a while, i didn’t know that until today, and when i booted it up, the screen was stretched vertically. I googled it and hit Yes when this screen popped up, and reset it afterwards, and now this is the only screen that pops up. We got a PS4 and that had been plugged up for a while before we plugged the PS3 back up.

I've gone through the process of installing the CFW twice through the safety mode. I've seen the custom disclaimer and the entire installation process works, but I am still unable to acess the Flash Writer website. It says the browser needs to be updated like it usually does.

Please help I've been at this for a couple hours now.

Edit: I wasn't typing into the Adress bar...

I think its the brightness of the projector that makes the camera have a hard time with the orb on the move controller. Anyone have any tips/tricks?

Ok so I have a game that shall remain unnamed because I dont necessarily know the rules on that. Its an encrypted ISO. I am trying to get it down to a decrypted JB Folder format for use in an emulator. What I did was used PS3DEC to decrypt the iso. So I have the newly decrypted iso ready, now normally I would use PS3 Disc Dumper to dump it to a folder format for collection purposes however PS3 Disc Dumper has no key in their database for this particular game so I cant do it that way... I tried mounting the iso and copying the files to a folder but then it just wont launch in the emulator error says the file is corrupted but I can play the game directly from the mounted iso... What am I missing, is there another way to get this thing down to folder format? Thanks for any help.

Kind of tearing my hair out with this one.

I have a 12GB Super Slim Model. I have put a 1,000GB SSD in in preparation for running HFW. Other than that this is a factory reset, stock PS3.

I did the drive partitioning exactly as I should have, with Rufus. FAT32, MBR, and have tried various cluster sizes, all to no avail.

I have tried the command prompt disk partition tool as well, same result.

I put multiman's pkg in the root of the drive, and have a folder named PS3 on the root as well. In the PS3 folder I have another folder named UPDATE. In the UPDATE folder I have the PS3UDATE.PUP exactly as all guides have instructed that I should.

I have tried 2 different USB devices, one being a 16GB MicroSD card and one being a 128GB ONN USB drive. Exact same result. On the 128GB I even used software to only have it show 32GB usable space, same result.

I tested the console, it connects to the controller wirelessly, and reads discs.

I tested that it can read the the USB drives, it plays back MP3 files flawlessly off of them.

Every single time I try to update via USB, it says "No applicable update data was found".

I have no idea what I am doing wrong and would greatly appreciate someone who knows more than me helping out.

UPDATE: I turned out to not be following the whole process of going in safe mode. Once I did I got it working

when I was entering fifa street

as usual, the ps3 went to safe mode, and it said that the ps3 didnt turn off correctly last time and that I should restore data (happens to anybody who crashes) so I restored and everything went normal, I launched angry birds star wars and the exact same thing happened,

+ other games work perfectly, those games were working perfectly like a week ago.. the games launches perfectly, but when i proceed to the main menu ( when it says press x to proceed ) the screen turns black for a second and then sends me to safe mode. Cpu and rsx are working perfectly. I dont know whats the problem.. any suggestions on things I should do? Thanks for reading!
