How to install psfmod

[Guest paddyg]

Is there anywhere with a good tutorial on how to use psfmod, or even to be able to hack your ps3?

If the issue is installing I´d say use unrevoked to install the image:)

I used alpharev/s-off to flash any new recovery now.

[Guest Asselberghs]

Anyone tried it?/risked it? I am a bit too afraid of being banned by sony to test it out.

Does it work on ps3 with 3.5 firmware?

No, only works on 3.41.

Works but it is not 100% (some games never loads or freeze). Still quite unstable (imho).

I always used Alpharev Fastboot to flash the psfmod recovery image:

fastboot flash recovery psfmod.img

I use it on the PS3 with Gaia Manager (last time I tried it was v1.03).

Once psfmod is flashed it is very easy to hack the PS3:

1. 
   Boot in recovery mode on the Desire
   Select Psfmod menu entry (at the end)
   And follow indications on your phone, it is straightforward
   

Honestly I don't think it is really worth the hassle. The PS3 has only a handful of good games and I already own them. If you cannot afford the high prices of new games just wait for platinum or classics releases, at half the price (sometimes even quarter) that's honest.

This is what I trriiieed to do, but whenever I do it on my computer it says recovery failed, although I'm using it with Unrevoked. I also assume I'm S-Off if my HTC is rooted and opendesire 4.0.4?

[Guest spammyspam]

Bad assumption. You're only S-Off if you've used AlphaRev. In theory you should be able to flash psfmod (or any other recovery) with Unrevoked (and not flashboot), but personally I'd rather use AlphaRev and flashboot.

dont be silly, just cos u only like a few games, u cant say its not worth crackin ur ps3 to have free access to hundreds of ps3 titles easily saving you thousands of pounds! even most platinum games are 14.99, 10 of them is £150 or you could download them all over one weekend, if u think its not worth it then you must be minted!

Hacking your PS3 for the simple reason of pirating games is a terrible thing. Developers work hard to make those games and they deserve to get paid for their hard work.

I am keeping my PS3 on 3.41, but I have absolutely no interest in running Backup Games, I am only interested in Homebrew and Emulation possibilities.

I have seen a WIP of a Dreamcast Emulator which looks GREAT!!!!
