Video from my other thread...

[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1ZwOW3IByA&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - PS3 3.55 with category_game_tool2.xml[/ame]

UPDATE

You must login or register to view this content. -direct CFW download

Tutorial:
Rename the downloaded file to PS3UPDAT.PUP.

Have a clean flash drive, its easier to understand this way.

Create a folder on usb and call it PS3.

Create a folder in the ps3 folder on the usb called UPDATE.

Then copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP(downloaded and renamed file) into the update folder.

Then put the usb into your ps3, go to system update and update via storage media.


Will continue to update as necessary... I will add correctly signed packages that we can install with this CFW when they come available, none exist at the moment. STOP ASKING!

have you downloaded it??, if so could you upload it to megaupload i am having trouble getting to the site..

OMG IM LIKE FREAKIN OUT BUT MY SISTER HAS TO PLAY SIMS 3. (Of course)
