    PS3 Restoring manual trophy backup to another already-in-use PS3

    My old PS3 died. I luckily have access to all the files because I have the ERK, and I've already backed up all the important stuff with Berion's tools. I'm currently using a friend's PS3 and I've created a user with the same name and PSN than the previous one. What should I do before putting my...

    PS3 Apollo Save Tool by bucanero

    Hey, I'm trying to transfer a RPCS3 LittleBigPlanet 2 save file to my PS3. What I understand is that I have to put my RPCS3 profile export into /dev_hdd0/tmp/apollo/BCUS98245, then take a profile export I made inside my PS3, then hit "Import decrypted save files", right? Because when I do that...

    PS3 Slim giving 3034 error when assembled but turning on WITHOUT PRESSURE when torn apart??

    Oh, thermal paste under the lid, of course. That explains it, thanks. Yeah technicians at least in the PS3 realm are very "out of touch" for sure. I've seen one guy in marketplace selling a YLOD phat saying that he was told that "it needed thermal paste replacement". Sure bud.

    PS3 Slim giving 3034 error when assembled but turning on WITHOUT PRESSURE when torn apart??

    Pressure mod? I don't know what that is. Eraser mod? Hell no. I have a 25XX Slim. I'm calling clamps to the metal bars that tighten the board on the CELL and RSX, heard it around, probably not the right name for it. Haven't tried a delid, but I don't know how that would help exactly. It...

    PS3 Advice on making a frankie, in a frankie-less country

    Here in Argentina no one is making the Frankenstein mod, at least that I'm aware of; but there are a couple of reballers. There are these people that charge more or less 60 us bucks for it and seem to do their job fine based on reviews. How much of a good plan would it be to get a backwards...

    PS3 Slim giving 3034 error when assembled but turning on WITHOUT PRESSURE when torn apart??

    Hey all. Months ago I had disassembled my PS3 Slim to change the thermal paste, and when I re-assembled it and turned it on it instantly turned fully off. While troubleshooting with the LED syscon code I found the error 3034, so my guess was that I had broken some solder balls and it needed a...

    PS4 Trouble with my Slim's disc insert mechanism

    I made a post on Reddit showing the issue with video (too large to post here): https://www.reddit.com/r/ifixit/comments/1qtnvsl/ps4_slim_disc_drive_not_properly/ I'll copy the description from the post: <<The rollers seem to be high enough to block the game from being inserted. Also, you can...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    I should report a bug to the FreeBSD guys. For now I can only hypothesize that it's truly just an EXT issue and exFAT or NTFS should be able to work just as fine. That's because they're mounted as different drive types. Notice that on my QEMU script I added the argument media=disk to the...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    I've run FreeBSD as root from the beginning, so I don't think that's the issue. Hmmmm. tried this, same result. Though I found there seems to be a weird issue where I can create files inside of the image, but not remove them! This is both for directories and files. For example...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    Hey. I made a disk image with dd, then mkfs.ext2 (wanted to be completely sure of compatibility...), then added it to my qemu script -drive file=/tmp/extass.img,format=raw,media=disk \ Now I seem to be able to mount it as # mkdir ps3recovery # mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0 ps3recovery But when I try...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    Haha, well that's better! I managed to successfully run FreeBSD by running the command that's inside Expander :D sudo qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 1 -m 1g \ -drive...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    I found the comments. I guess they will be helpful once I get the proper netbsd image, as I understand that they describe commands I would use while using the VM; but my main doubt still is what netbsd image I have to get, and where. Also, I see the freebsd image downloaded is in .qcow2 format...

    PS3 Rant about bad PS3 purchase, now dead; wanting buying/selling advice

    Qué onda, charmed to see an argentinian mod. I guess that's what I've learnt here, pay cheap pay twice. Still, do you think there's any sense to fixing it then selling it? Maybe the reason I'm asking is the need for someone else's experience.

    PS3 Rant about bad PS3 purchase, now dead; wanting buying/selling advice

    Skip this paragraph if you don't care about the rant. Bought a used PS3 Slim which I was told was perfectly functional and what seemed like an original DS3, via Facebook Marketplace. I wasn't in for much hacky stuff, just some CFW and go play games. First thing I noticed when I got home was it...

    PS3 Berion's HDD Decryption Helper Scripts on Linux: permission denied on some /dev_hdd0/game files

    Sorry for the noobiness, I tried to do this on my own but my computer literacy has a limit... I've never ran a VM on any arch that's not x86. I need some help setting it up. I got to the 6.0.1 repo: https://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-6.0.1/iso/ I'm confused as to which of the...
