pkgi-ps3 VS IRISMAN

Like the psvita, the ps3 has a pkg store.Pkgj ps3 github link You need to install the nps-db file as well to make the contents load onto the store. Im sorry but I don’t remember where I found that file. But when you install it to the system, load up the pkgj application located under network and press load when the app has directed you to the empty list of games and your set. If you have trouble figuring out how to find your games after downloading them to the system. Reply to me

Install this. https://github.com/PS2ClassicsVault/PS2-Classics-Vault or https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3 I'd go with the first it's easy to set up. Then just open the app, push triangle, hit refresh and you're good to go.

An easy way to get those is to install the ps2classicsvault or pkgi store. https://github.com/PS2ClassicsVault/PS2-Classics-Vault or https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3

You need to install pkgi on your PS3 and access it from there. It does not ask for a PSN login.

is it easier via xmb though? well, you can follow instruction here.

Found pkgi-ps3 here: https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/releases/tag/v1.2.4

I use PKGi

no problem. Download pkgi and download it that way.

Irisman download

When you jailbreak the must have apps are WebmanMod (general CFW/HEN console management) and Irisman (mostly for BluRay discs backup). Basically that's all you'd ever need.

"downgrade" (old method for exploit some game consoles) or new marketed web "term" (thanks youtubers, other forums etc) is not required anymore (almost couple years now) and for multiregion all ps3 are multiregion for ps3,ps2,ps1,psp after CFW or HEN exploits (with little exeption in running ps1 pal video modes easy bypasssed with irishman or managunz homebrew) , for ps3 fats - BC is recomended a CFW (recomended exploit / hack / enable homebrew) use official page for lastest development maintained for developers and collaborators http://ps3xploit.com/ , till now all ps3 machines in 4.89 can be exploited with HFW (Hen) exploit/hack/homebrew enabler, but in your friend case ps3 fat is recomended a CFW like CFW evilnat, like you comment he is in HEN 4.89, till time comes, check next weeks ps3xploit when "buguerville" update bgtoolset tools for install CFW in 4.89 (now in internal testing) incompactible machines (like all ps3 FATS) meanwhille for PS2 iso load try irishman 4.88 https://github.com/aldostools/IRISMAN or managunz https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ (unknow if work in ps BC machines with HEN), not use ps2clasics converts pkg or psn ps2 classics because it will use ps2 "software emulator = low compactibility bugs black screen and higth risk overheat that models etc" keep in mind hardware ps2 chips are only available in ps3 fat models looking back serial CECH"A/B/C/E" (20gb/60gb USA-JAPAN only) if have another "letter " or is EUR model it means not have ps2 hardware chips anymore so in this case ps3 will only use ps2 "software" emulation for this use webmamod plugin from autor here https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD ps2CONFIGXXX, ps2classics placeholder then use recomended tools for encryt your .iso to .BIN.ENC (read wiki for more instrucctions).
