PSP isos can now run on PS3s without a Custom Firmware
Back in December, When KaKaRoTo released his tool ps3xport as a farewell gift to the PS3 scene, he majorly underestimated how much enthusiasm it would lead to. He also downplayed the potential importance of the hack, for example for psp isos.
PSP isos – good or not?
It’s always tough to talk about events that are so closely related to “backups” on this blog. People expect this blog to stay on top of the scene news, and at the same time we are reluctant to speak of iso loading. I’m taking the plunge here because this is interesting from a technical point of view, and because there are legit uses to loading psp isos.
As a matter of fact, the tutorials below come from noone else than SkyBladeCloud, and you might remember his name because he’s the guy behind the popular unofficial English translation of Final Fantasy Type-0 on the PSP. Being able to run fan-translated games is one of the huge benefits of psp isos.
PSP isos on your PS3 – How to
So, ps3xport has been dug into by several devs on the PS3 scene, and it is today possible to run psp isos on your OFW PS3. Now, the process is fairly long as it involves backing-up the entire content of your PS3, then restoring it. Not the type of manipulation you’d like to do everyday, but still a very cool and interesting process for those of you who like to tinker with their devices.
The tools required for the process include PSP2PS3, idpstealer, PeXploit, and ps3export. Although you can download most of these from our downloads section, SkyBladeCloud included download links in his videos as well.
Enjoy the tutorials below:

Update: This does not directly work for 4.70 owners because idpstealer has been patched, but a solution is in the works for that!
That is amazing, is there potential for ps2 .iso’s?
you would require to have bought an official ps2 classics game, then you could exchange the ISO.BIN.ENC…
I am trying it with black screen, at the moment im doing it with gran turismo concept as the iso and Grooverider as the psn game.
Also the ps3 is doing strange sounds. Like it cannot turn into ps2 mode. It make 3 beeps when i try to shutdown the system.
The PS3 runs some checks that keep this from working.I have tried a couple different ways to do it replacing, the iso.bin.enc, changing the content ID of the ISO, etc. PS2 isos may just have to be something that comes once they figure out how to get unsigned content running on the PS3 OFW.
Does this work on any PS3 model, and does this work for purchased PSN PSP games?
You can convert your purchased PSN PSP games into isos. This is done by removing the license, although the name of the tool done to do that eludes me at the moment.
PSNdecrypter (on PSP tool), PSNdumper plugin (another on PSP software) or NPDPC (a PC tool to convert PSN PSP PBPs into ISOs).
Thanks!
The thing I love about ps3xport is that this means that those on Super-Slims or cannot downgrade are now no longer left in the dust of the PS3 hacking scene. All we need now is a way to run homebrew on OFW, and we’re golden. PS2 ISOs wouldn’t hurt either, especially considering I never owned a PS2 growing up, so I mainly played the games on other people’s PS2s.
I’m still waiting for that to happen
Man that’s crazy. And just when I was happy installing the exploits on my vita. I can now play PSP games through TV.
Just hope the transfer method changes.. I have waaay to much data to back up and then restore for a 1-2.5 GB file lol
we want these things on ps4
Compatible with all PSP backup ISOs? Thinking of playing MK Unchained on my PS3.
not all games work but MK Unchained does. You are lucky.
NICE!
This is simply beautiful :cries softy:
So now I can:
Use PsP as emulating device
Use PSP as controller for my games
Stream games from PC/PS to PsP and vice versa
Play PSP games on PS3
I love you so much modding/programming community. Fking heck how many times i’ve said that already, can’t be said enough!!
How about two player? Also possible?
i got a question, if i make a backup and then restore all it gonna work all the games i have before(i got some acc that i dont own so i cant login again into that acc for the license game)?
Is this still possible after the new update that was released?
Holy *** is this for real?
Just to make sure, this works in the most recent 4.70 firmware, right?
What a shame IDPS stealer is alredy patchet by 4.70 OFW…how boring…
This TUT is worthless till a new exploit or workaround is found F*CK the PS3 Scene is more busy than Sony itself what a irony…
But Im lucky I own a ps3 CFW Rebug Cobra 4.65.2 also…but would be nice to have such features on OFW too…
Sorry but the correct line should be
PS3s can’t run PSP isos on 4.70 OFW because exploit is already patched!!!
$on¥ $$$$ ¥¥¥
If the exploit is patched in 4.70 as you claim, why is he showing that he is using 4.70 at 5:50 in the second video? Stop spreading disinformation, plz
IDPstealer was patched, so if you don’t have that step done, you can’t do the rest.
Dont be a f#©ktard and update your PS3? As long as you dont update, you can still do this.
Ignorant is bliss!…he is mentally challenged I don’t like the “R” word thanks for the info on this Z!!
I have worked with MRDD. And they are people too..
Too bad IDPStealer got patched 3 days ago with 4.70, was hoping to try this out.
Bit pointless putting up this tutorial NOW considering the apps that are needed were patched with 4.70…
This was old news.. nothing new.
So if I didn’t update would I still be able to do this? If so would I be able to update and it would still work?
Oh! Wow, thanks for putting it on the front page ^_^”. And yeah, it’s a pretty cumbersome process, hopefully someone will find it useful. As for OFW 4.70, I have to check a couple of things, but I think the whole process works with a simple modification.

Guys, you don’t need your ConsoleID and thus no need for IDPStealer. It already injects the ISOs into the non consoleID encrypted section which is the archive_00.dat part. ConsoleID is only needed for the archive2 part.
That’s right, I updated both videos with annotations so OFW 4.70 users aren’t left behind 😉
…
@WhyNott IDPS got patched in 4.70 OFW!!! so its not misinformation
But i didnt know it will works without IDPS stealer thanks for clarification @SKY
interesting
So if I already have my console I’d can I update? Cause I still need PS store for vita games
Yes, as long as you keep you IDPS in a safe place, you can update.
Cool, thanks for the reply.
So if I already have my console id can I update? Cause I still need PS store for vita games
Sorry for double post!
Does this allow the psp iso’s to be then transferred to VITA in any way?
So I can play backuped PSP games on my PS3 OFW, but not official ones from the PSN store?
Wait, the PS3 has a PSP emulator on board but simply not activated? Is that right? *** Sony?!?
it is activated, its purpose is to run minis + psp hd remasters…..
“Wait, the PS3 has a PSP emulator on board but simply not activated? Is that right?”
@Daniel
Yes PS3 has build in native psp support (but not all games work) just hidden and also Native flawless PS1 emulator (all games work) and even a ps2 Software emulation (not all games work)
a hidden ingame Screenshot feature (working fine) and even a hidden Video Record Plugin (but very bad compatibillity…)
i do have a ps1 game that is not working 😛
(some xmen disc)
I’ve heard that similar methods exist for ps1/2/3 backups on ofw. Is it true?
Does this work with PSX Games?
“I’m taking the plunge here because this is interesting from a technical point of view, and because there are legit uses to loading isos.”
Good boy wololo can’t say no to spreading “good” news to it’s greedy, pauper community!
Tell me, did your face turn red while typing stuff like that? Be honest! 🙂
Seriously though, the skills and dedication some guys have for the scene is impressive.
nice steady progrezz on teh op ps3
This is awesome. although the whole reason i bought a vita tv was to hack it and play my backups on my tv using a ps3 contoller. Now that this exists i see no need for my vita tv other than to pay vita games on it. I have 2 ps3 with cfw, but i never looked into running psp games on it, anyone know if cfw on ps3 allows for this?
Hi!!!, Can you also fix the english patched version (not the original) of Final Fantasy Type-0 translated by Sky ?
It is still stuck on Now Loading when starting the game and cannot proceed…
Please……
I guess I’ll need to buy another ps3 to play the rest of psp games I have to play, cause my 2011 psp is getting old and I don’t to compromise my ps3 data a bunch of save data and about 6 digital games downloaded.
after all NEW psp has same prize of ps3 on ebay
so can i now use ps3xport to cma to psvita packages via a xport of ps3 disc ?
Do I need to grab idps.bin every single time I do something to my PS3, or is it a one time thing?
I think this process is amazing. I do have a couple of questions. 1 being if I back up my PS3 to my PC can I restore some of the items but leave out others, example being I have the God of War remasters on my PS3 which I wanna keep but don’t want on my PS3 for now if they don’t need to be. Question 2 is for FF Type-0. I know there are 2 versions. I downloaded the 2nd being said to work for PS3 but if I try to re-sign the eboot there are issues with the PS3Minis app, so the question is do I choose the original version or version 2?
Also, love the work you guys do. I have been following off and on for a while.
Do all games work??
Is there a list of games that work
i want to play FATE UNLIMITED CODES
Will described procedure work also on OFW 4.80?
very Long & Complex process.
