First offModding 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. ==Softmod <small>(PS3Xploit for 4.82)</small>==:<small>Note: Not all models are supported. Check the linked page for guides that explain which specific models are not supported. You could also refer to the table below.</small> See [http://darthsternie.bplaced.net/team-ps3xploit-browser-exploits.html this page on Team PS3Xploit Browser Exploits] to get started. Click on PS3 NAND Writer or PS3 NOR Writer depending on your model, and follow the linked guides. ==Hardmod <small>(Downgrade to 3.55)</small>==This guide has been rendered a little outdated, but can still be used if you're interested. To start, you must have a need to get your PS3 on system firmware 3.55 or lower, to mod it.''' If you are 're on a lower firmwareversion, simply just update with [http://www.mediafire.com/?sm8kd6liqzj3jo5 upgrade to this archived copy of the 3.55<code>PS3UPDAT.PUP</code>]. However, if If you're on a higher firmwareversion, you must downgrade using have to use a ''hardware flasher''. Below is See this table for what models are downgradable and what flashers can be used on those models: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
==Other useful info==
You can connect to PSN while on CFW, but there is a high risk that your PSN ID and Console ID will be banned. There is a way to unban a console. It requires someone else's Console ID and it can be banned too.

==Emulation==
===RetroArch===
[[RetroArch]] has a PS3 port with lots of working cores that should cover most of the usual suspectstargets.
===Official Sony Emulators===
====PSP====
PSP games also work on PS3 through an emulator created for playing "PS3 Minis" from PSN, but compatibility is very limited (less than that of PPSSPP). Refer to PSHomebrew's [http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PSP_On_PS3_Compatibility_List PSP on PS3 compatibility list] for per-game info.
