That is possible correct? I see modders in gta 5 online lobbies all the time. I just want to use the mods to help others. This is my first post! Very excited to be a part of this community! Any help is appreciated!
First of all your PS3 needs to be on firmware version 3.55 or below, to check your firmware version scroll over to the settings tab on the PS3s XMB, then find the system settings icon and click on it, then find system information in the sub menu, click on it and some text information should come up showing your PS3s system software (firmware version), IP address, MAC address and HDD space.
If your console is on 3.55, then this is where you can find CFW:
You must login or register to view this content.
Download and install 3.55 CEX CFW. DO NOT install 4.XX CFW or DEX firmware first (you need to convert your console to a debug unit to use DEX CFW).
Put the file on an empty USB stick in this folder structure: PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP.
ONLY INSTALL CFW IF YOU'RE ON 3.55, OTHERWISE YOUR PS3 COULD BE BRICKED. DO AS YOU WILL AT YOUR OWN RISK.
