      I had great experiences with Rogero 4.46 Cobra. (i guess the non Cobra one is just as good)
      But i moved on to DARKNET 4.65 Cobra to be able to connect my Vita to my PS3 and there’s also various other 4.65 CFWs (cobra or non Cobra).
      But for the best compatiobility/functionality i thin Rogero 4.46 is awesome!
      I really recomment at least to look into Cobra CFWs, i really love to mount Backups directly from XMB using webMAN. Its just faster and more comfortable than starting Multiman, mounting the game, going back to XMB….

    so how to install ps3 cfw then …
    hmm
    tnv psp for ps3 cfw then ?

    • solidsnake says:

      Its like this whole ordeal and chances are you dont have the right model or firmware PS3 anyway. I sure dont.

    • ErnieBall says:

      To install a PS3 CFW, you need to be on OFW 3.55!
      Since you’re most likely on a higher OFW, you need a Hardware flasher (arround 50-60 bucks) to downgrade.
      Also need to have a compatible PS3, Super Slims and some later Slims are not compatible.

    i had natural cfw once … works like ***
    means below 3.55 just install 3.55 kmeaw
    but still long way from hacked
    just a backup manager
    i then proxy tricked updated to ofw store patched

    in other news
    could somebody from the pseudo.tv plugin for xbmx

    when I download the PKG file and put it on a flash drive, and plug it into my PS3, I get the USB extension on pictures and videos, but not under GAME. So I can’t launch it. Whassap with that?

    I would say this is a bit outdated.

    • STLcardsWS says:

      The tutorials are just adding more confusion then actually helping people.

    • STLcardsWS says:

      Also the better approach for some with a broken BD drive or Logic board would be one of the noBD CFW’s

      • wololo says:

        The offer for you to become a blogger here and push more up to date tutorials out there still stands 🙂

          Thanks, Very busy at various other places right now. even more so then when we last spoke. Now I am basically the only guys at two of the sites writing news and then i started my own site with a few friends psx-place.com so I am extremely busy in that regard.. but could change in weeks, months …. So hopefully that offer stands for awhile 🙂
