02-18-2011, 11:05 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I received an email from sony telling me to remove my pirate games etc. I was running kmeaw 3.55 and I had multiman and lvl2 on it then I copied a few games to the hard drive , I have updated to 3.56 ofw now so I am going to take my hdd out and put in an enclosure so I can delete this stuff off it , I need to know what file I would need to delete to remove the multiman and the lvl2 , I think I now what folder the games show in but if someone knows the exact directory they will be in that would be a great help too.

Thanks in advance

Go into comgenies file manager or FTP server, then delete your DEV_FLASH Folder.. this will fix your problem, it worked for me

Oh, everyone above saying to delete dev_flash I hope your PS3 YLOD overnight, **** OFF.

I will tell you now your PS3 OS/FW is on a NAND chip refereed to as the flash. It is mounted to dev_flash as read-only by default. If you want to brick, mount it as RW and delete...

Now if you wish to remove everything, backup up what you want and restore/reformat. Hell take it out, hook your your PC and format as NTFS.

Your PS3 will then require to reformat and possibly reinstall part of the firmware.

You can also buy a new HDD.
