Post: Noob Questions/Advice Needed
02-07-2014, 06:16 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, I haven't used a jailbroken ps3 since Geohot's CFW and would like to start getting back into modding (like BO2, MW3, MW2, etc.), however, I am lost as to how to get started and what to do. If possible, I would like some help in understanding these things and I will try to provide as much information that I can. If you need more information, I will be happy to answer.

What I Do Know:

  • I will be getting a ps3 on 3.55 OFW soon (3-4 days).
  • I used to host challenge lobbies on MW2 and W@W and I am somewhat familiar with Comgenie's Awesome File Manager.
  • I am fully aware that the PSN updated recently and I may not (or may?) be able to go online for a while.


What I Would Like To Know:

  • What kind of CFW should I use to mod games such as MW2, MW3, BO2, etc? (I plan on being able to use them online, but not so publicly. Like with a group of friends.)
  • In regards to the previous question, is Real Time Modding my only option? If so, what would I need to do so? (What CFW? CEX or DEX? How to get these things and use them?)
  • If Real Time Modding isn't the only option, what else can I do? How?
  • What is the difference between CEX and DEX? Which is less risky/more noob friendly? (I'm not that experienced with these things, can you tell? :P)
  • What homebrew apps are essential for me to have? Any ones that are not essential, but nice to have?
  • Is there anything else I should know before starting? (I want to be as prepared as I can.)


If this is posted in the wrong place or if there is a similar post with answers available elsewhere, please let me know. I have researched this website and others and can't seem to find straight answers (Although I might have missed something.)

Thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you for your response! It is certainly a lot different than before! I have looked at the homebrew sites, so I know where to get them. One of the major questions I have is which ones should I get. I've heard that some are very important to have (like multiMAN or PSNinja v4) Are there any that would be very important for me to have? Other than that, I look forward to any other advice I can get and of course your pics. Smile
