− | + | Modding your PlayStation 3 allows you to bypass some protection mechanisms like Cinavia, as well as dump games and transfer files to and from partition types other than FAT32. Here, we've detailed the traditional hardmod method, as well as a new exploit for 4.82 that allows you to get into custom firmware of the same version (currently Rebug/Ferrox). | |
− | + | One thing to note is that PSN connectivity is still possible on custom firmware, but you can potentially run the risk of getting your PSN ID and Console ID banned. This can be reversed with a workaround involving acquiring someone else's Console ID, but it's not failsafe. | |

+ | To start, you need to get your PS3 on system firmware 3.55 to mod it. If you're on a lower version, just update with [http://www.mediafire.com/?sm8kd6liqzj3jo5 this archived copy of the 3.55 <code>PS3UPDAT.PUP</code>]. If you're on a higher version, you have to use a hardware flasher. See this table for what models are downgradable and what flashers can be used on those models: | ||
