Hey guys Hydrogen here! So I have exciting news for modders today. Developer DeViL303 has now updated his new tool Package Downloader. This has MANY new features, and also has new fixes. If you are a modder this is a good resource for you all. What this basically does is that it lets you download homebrews straight from your PS3!
These are the new stuff that the new udpate contains:
- Ability to download over 70 packages from the XMB just by selecting them, with no USB stick required.
- Packages divided up into 4 categories (plus an upcoming themes category that Im working on)
- Package list will update automatically or can be refreshed manually using the new function.
- Removes the annoying Spotify and Singstar links from main XMB (packages still available to download through XMBPD)
- This application installs to flash so it is still there after a system format/restore, handy for getting your favourite apps back without needing a PC/USB Stick.
- Installing this will also fix some missing icons from CFW tools on ingame XMB.
- XMBPD can be updated from within itself via the Tools/Mods/Misc section.
- Addon available called “CFW Applications” which adds a new folder to your XMB for applications you want to keep separate from your games.
- Selection of applications available in the Tools/Mods/Misc sections that will install straight into the CFW applications folder.(or you can move your own apps easily by changing the category to CB in the PARAM.SFO and resizing icon slightly)
- New icon set for all the categories, All the icons are added to the relevant RCO files for fastest response and smallest filesize while keeping quality.
- This is compatible with Multiman singstar unlike early releases.
He also revamped the XMB while on his resource which looks really Amazing! Really made the icons look beautiful as well! Here is some quick photos to glance at!

the developer also added a few notes for the modders out there. He states:
- A PSN account is still required for this application to work, you don’t need to be signed into PSN, you just to have an account on your PS3.
- This installer was only made for Rebug 4.78, It will not install on lower FW.
- After the initial install please reboot and allow up to 2 minutes for the categories to fill up as it syncs.

Just so you guys know there are no Themes included in this yet, The category is just a placeholder/preview. They will be coming soon in an update though.
Hey the last 2 consoles ive tried to install this on, the folders dont seem to fill up after rebooting.
I made sure there's a fresh psn acc on the console with a working id. reboot after install and wait 5-10 mins, still nothing
tried signing in after the reboot and leaving for 10 mins or so and STILL nothing
first few console's i installed it on worked fine, these 2 dont seem to like it
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance
