    What sort of .pkgs can we run, though…? We’re still on OFW so wouldn’t it be pointless?

    • lolzoar

      What I mean is, you can install Multiman and whatever, but you wouldn’t be able to run it…

    • Sam

      Pirated PKGs.

      • lolzoar

        Of games? No, they need you to have purchased it from the PSN, right? They simply wouldn’t work, I’m sure…

        • Dummy

          Then try it for yourself and see, genius.

        • warfaren

          Actually they’re pretty much the only thing that will work. Since we can’t run unsigned code (but we CAN install the pkg) we cannot run homebrew.

          • level3tjg

            You wouldn’t get banned for trying to install a pirated package. It just won’t work if you try to run it. You can install free DLC for games though.

      • Anon

        OFW only runs signed EBOOTs with matching license. You can install pirated PKGs, but they won’t run without appropriate licenses, and licenses can’t be pirated on OFW generally (except for .edat ones, but very few worthwhile titles use edat activation).
        This can help people install PSM on their Vitas, probably.
        Other than that, you could save the PKG of the game that you already own on PSN and save yourself the need to download it on PS3 (the license will be fetched from your PSN account).

    Could I use this method to update to a CFW?

    • Deviiid

      Unlikely, But could be possible

    • greg

      No. This is not possible. You can’t update firmwares via .pkg lol

    • Anon

      Of course not. All CFWs are still signed with FW 3.55 keys (despite having 4.70 files inside, for example), so FW checker on PS3 with FW 3.56+ will immediately reject it without even looking inside.

  3. meysam25

    comon wololo you need to explain more .
    you mean any one with orginal ps3 can play copy game ?
    am i right ?

  4. zyklon ben

    Can I play pirated games with this?

    • stupidfucks

      yes you mentally challenged pirates, this enables you to pirate and play ALL TEH PS4 GAMEZ ON TEH PS3, converting then up from 720p to 4K is a given…
      oh and dont forget that every GAMEZ IS FREEZ ON TEH PS SHOP!

      bottomline is…. if you guys are too *** stupid to use 5 minutes of your life to google this *** up, then dont bother commenting here….

    • nope

      F#ck off

  5. Ps3Thief

    So I can buy a new ps3 no matter the firmware and steal pirated games with this?

  6. Inza

    How do we get the .pkg files of a Free DLC?
    For example i have the DLC downloaded on my PS3, how do i turn it into a .pkg file? Is it even possible? Whats with DLC files that were on the store (for free) but got removed. (However you can still download them if they were in your download history)

  7. Hoshi

    Finally the Homebrew can run on the OFW PS3 with this tool????
    excellent!

  8. rg95354

    So can we do qa flag to install the package installer or do we need to inject pkgs and backup hdd everytime we want to install new pkg files?

  9. Gazra

    Seriously your all idiots if you have not come across this to begin with.

    Firstly you can use this to install games on to your OFW.

    Second you need your IDPS for the CFW to get it to work with all features.

    Third you can use this to install SOME DLC for games.

    Forth you can install homebrew but you cannot launch it or use it in any way.

    Fifth I can personally say that it does indeed work.

    Sixth there is a small amount of games that this works for and as such don’t expect every game to work. 99% of the games that contain a C00 folder in the .pkg will work with this just like how reactpsn works on CFW.

    And finally YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE ABLE TO INSTALL A CFW WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER THING LIKE THIS IF YOU CAN’T GET TO 3.55 OR 3.56 AT THE VERY LATEST.

    I have not been banned and have not hearD of anyone else for that matter being banned with using things like this.

    http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=81494

    Try looking here for a compatible list of games and other alternatives 😉

    • Gazra

      In the second point I mention you need your OFW IDPS for it to work properly.

      Sorry for posting it again just wanted to clarify that.

    • B3N

      will i get banned if i sync the trophies i earn from Pirated PKG?

      • Gazra

        I have not and I tried this month’s ago. My account and ps3 as still completely unbanned.

      • lolzoar

        Hate to burst your bubble, but you can’t play pirated games.

        • Gazra

          Of course you cant :/

          That’s why loads of people tested the games on the compatable list to just “test them” and be responsible afterwards and delete them.

    • And only an idiot would assume there is no ban risk, just like you all assumed there was no ban risk using PS3 CFW.

      • Gazra

        Totally agreed with this statement.

        If people want to abuse this and get banned then so be it.

        I can’t say when people will be punished for using this but a day will come.

        Everyone should have realised that it was only a matter of time before CFW users got banned. Hence why I don’t use my main account with things like this or on CFW.

    • hey if i tried to install a psn game from psnstuff prgrm then made the right method will it work ??? and what is (save rap)means in the psnstuff prgrm??

  10. Gazra

    Sorry you need the IDPS for the program to work properly not the CFW.

  11. wellsorry

    Gosh a lot of people that post questions genuinely don’t know what these tools are capable of there’s not reason to be such jerks

    • Gazra

      Well I didn’t no what the tool did at first so I read up on it. I mean this is not new news it has been around for quire some time now.

      Theoretically with it being out for months most people who use websites like wololo should have come across it before and therefore meaning they should have read about it but most people won’t bother reading. if they did theN they would not need to ask the questions they do In the hopes someone will answer them. heck Google will eveN give you the answer.

  12. B3N

    Official Firmwares 4.66 and above? means even if i’m on 4.70?

  13. umut

    Does someone know if the program splits the archive file when it’s larger then 4gb? If it doesn’t you are very limited of space/data. This was the problem with the release of kakaroto’s firt program You can only copy a file of max 4gb(fat32). If you have a unjailbreakable ps3 then buy a cobra ode, with this you are still able to access the game folder of your ps3 with a third-party program like multiman for ode. This is much faster, because you don’t need to copy your hdd, you have directly access to it(but not all the folders).

    • Gazra

      Yes it does split files so you can add as many as you like it will still restore to the PS3 and if it does not with this program try muxport or something else.

  14. Version 1.0
    Posted on PlayStationHaX on 22nd of May
    Posted on PS3HaX on 24th of May

    22nd is before the 24th, meaning it was posted on PlayStationHaX before PS3HaX, yet PS3HaX is used as source, sounds totally legit.

    • lolzoar

      Well, maybe wololo got his news from PS3Hax and he’s crediting the place he truly got his info from. So yeah, it DOES sound totally legit.

      • Well he didn’t as he retweeted PlayStationHaX regarding this exact same story on the 22nd, if you can count, that is a full two days before it was posted on PS3HaX.

        So he see’s the story on PlayStationHaX 2 days before it was posted on PS3HaX, then waits a full week to post it here, using PS3HaX as the source, not what i call legit.

        But what ever, i am more surprised that Wololo would post piracy software, considering the websites stance on piracy and this app is 100% for pirates only, there are no ‘honest’ uses for it.

        Anyhow, back to The Witcher 3…

        • wololo

          Hey Greg, as we discussed on twitter this was an honest mistake on my end. The author of the tool posted it himself on ps3hax, so that was as good as it gets in terms of source. I forgot I had retweeted this from you a few days before. If I should stop retweeting your stuff to prevent ambiguity in the future, just say so 😉

          Will be more careful in the future, but technically both are valid as sources, since the programmer himself posted on the two sites.

  15. Knightfury786

    This new pexploit tool doesn’t work properly, i backed up my utility and followed the instructions precisely and and added a few pkg to install on my ofw 4.70 ps3 and i restored the backup, it shows the files that were the pkgs, but as soon as you click on it, the ps3 goes blank and freezes, wont even shut down by the button, i have to pull the hole plug out of my ps3 to turn it off.

  16. Dave

    Who cares who posted first. Playstationhax or ps3hax. Why you so ***. Your stance on piracy does not concern the wololo community. Reporting news is not the same as condoning piracy.

  17. Puzzling

    First, you should include the use-case of the thing, otherwise its not well researched and simply re-published.
    Secondly, speculating that there is no valid exploit to launch (self-signed) pkgs, it seems utterly useless.
    Lastly, it could be interesting if such exploits are discovered, or there is a way to sign pkgs correctly.

    Also, your webserver seems to often become unresponsive. Take a hint and upgrade.

  18. can I ?

    can I manage my backup with this application?

    I want to backup just a specific game.

  19. Bulba

    Would this work for installing the Tales of Vesperia english patch on a legit copy?

  20. Winnie

    Hi there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re using?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers
    and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a fair
    price? Thank you, I appreciate it!

  21. Awudajun

    Could you generate a pkg that can dump the 4.70 ofw keys, CID and PSID into a fake game folder then use that to make a cfw then jailbreak the ps3?

  22. Prathusa

    Can I install dragon ball raging blast 2 on my ps3. I bought a legit copy but it got scratched and freezes when I try to play a level in galaxy mode. Please respond someone. I need to play dbrb2.

  23. jai
