4. You must login or register to view this content.
5. Some Fallout .esp Mod files, you can locate them at You must login or register to view this content.
Instructions:
1. Install Multi Man onto your CFW PS3 to the CFW you have. Then run Multi Man and back-up your Fallout New Vegas to your HDD.
2. When you are finished, install black b0x FTP Server to your PS3 and then run it.
3. When you have the FTP server up and running it will give you a IP Address (For Example "192.168.1.1"). Copy that down and go to your computer.
4. Install FileZilla to your computer and go to the "Host" bar at the top of your screen and type in your IP Address, and put the port number as "21".
4. Go to "dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30500/PS3_GAME/USRDIR"
5. Open the FALLOUT.INI I gave to you in the beginning of this thread and open it in Note Pad.
6. Minimize FALLOUT.INI and Assuming you downloaded some .esp files from You must login or register to view this content., rename them all in capital letters (For Example, if the file name was cheatterminal.esp, rename it to CHEATTERMINAL.ESP).
7. Go back to the FALLOUT.INI you opened in Note Pad and you will see something like this,
STestFile10=
STestFile9=
STestFile8=
STestFile7=
STestFile6=
STestFile5=
STestFile4=
STestFile3=
STestFile2=
STestFile1=FalloutNV.esm
Add your renamed .esp files there like so,
STestFile10=
STestFile9=
STestFile8=
STestFile7=
STestFile6=
STestFile5=
STestFile4=
STestFile3=
STestFile2=CHEATTERMINAL.ESP
STestFile1=FalloutNV.esm
8. When you are finished with putting the .esp file names in the STestFile spots, hit CTRL+F and search for this,
sEssentialFileCacheListE=
9. When you locate the "sEssentialFileCacheListE=", you want to also add the .esp names there. You will do this by putting "DATA/" and then the name of your .esp file in all caps. If done correctly it should go from looking like this
sEssentialFileCacheListE=DATA/FALLOUT - MISC.BSA,
to this,
sEssentialFileCacheListE=DATA/CHEATTERMINAL.ESP,
DATA/FALLOUT - MISC.BSA,Just a reminder, when you are adding to the sEssebtialFileCacheListE, Make sure you write "DATA/NAMEOFFILE.ESP, " You need a space after each "," or it won't work.
Make sure you put the .esp files before "DATA/FALLOUT - MISC.BSA" or the mods WILL NOT work.
9. Save the edited FALLOUT.INI and drag and drop it into the "dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30500/PS3_GAME/USRDIR" folder so it copies over the original FALLOUT.INI
10. Go to "dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLUS30500/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/DATA" and add all the renamed .esp files into the "DATA" folder.
11. When you dragged and dropped the modded FALLOUT.INI to replace the old one and added the .esp's to the "DATA" folder, you can close FileZilla and black b0x. Then go to Multi Man and press (X) to load Fallout New Vegas. When it says ":::Call Of Duty Modern Warfare::: Do you want to load the game now, without exiting to the XMB Warning: Some Games do not support such launch mode." Hit No and it will bring you to the XMB menu. Go to where you would launch the Blu-ray disk and you will notice instead of the game you have in the Blu-ray drive its Fallout New Vegas, Hit (X) and the game will boot up with the mods.
You can use ANY BLU-RAY DISK to boot the game, I was just using Call Of Duty 4 as an example!
Some .esp files made on that site WON'T work on the PS3 so trial and error is your best friend until I make a .esp archive.

Just a heads-up: if your Fallout files are showing up as FALLOUT_ENGLISH.INI or FALLOUT_FRENCH.INI instead of the standard FALLOUT.INI, you can still make it work. Here’s how:
Pick the appropriate file, like FALLOUT_ENGLISH.INI, and open it in Notepad.
Add your .ESP file names exactly where shown in the tutorial—make sure they’re in capital letters, and go in the STestFile#= lines with gamer boost https://askboosters.com/ .
Do the same inside sEssentialFileCacheListE= by prefixing each with DATA/ and separating items with commas.
Save the file under the exact name you opened (so you don't lose language-specific settings) and overwrite the original on your PS3 via FTP.
Add your renamed .ESP files (also in CAPS!) to the DATA folder.
Boot the game as instructed in the tutorial—and mods should work if everything’s properly edited.
Let me know if that helps—or if it still skips the XMB step, we can dig deeper into that too!
