PlayStation 3 developer @DeViL303 has been working on a new project of late, taking a break from some of the fantastic XMB work and various firmware hacks and tweaks. The developer has recently set his sights on PlayStation Home and bringing some of the functionality back while preserving some...

Ultimate Toolbox v2.03 This is a collection of new and old mods and patches, A lot made by myself and some gathered from all over the PS3 scene, This Toolbox makes it easier to apply lots of common firmware patches and visual XMB modifications and more. CFW Version > 4.84-4.88 STABLE CFW...

I mentioned this elsewhere but then thought it might be a worth a thread of it's own. From a modders point of view these Duracell extenders are actually a great deal. I got these Duracell PS3 extenders for £6.50 each when I bought mine. This listing drops to half price fairly often...

Here is my newest XMB menu called Ultimate Toolbox! It was not made for HEN, But it seems to work Ok in my limited testing. THIS XMB MOD ONLY SUPPORTS RECENT FIRMWARES UP TO VERSION 4.88. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 4.89 CFW/HFW Download HERE There might be some bugs, So use at your own...

Not sure what the point of this is really. Its a bit of an outside of the box idea, but maybe someone will see a use for something like this or it might turn into something someday but probably not. Its a simple idea for a customizable restricted GUI using a PS3EXTRA type interface instead of...

I want to get a new game but am not sure whether it will work, its a bles thing. I've done this before but am just curious because I don't want to make a mistake.there is some compatibility cfw2ofw list. Am not sure whether its about putting games in the multiman games folder method. Please...

Umm, am in a bit of a problem, when I tried to install saints row gat out of hell, the licence stuff didn't work, though it works for nearly all the games I have installed....I resigned the pkg and split it but all in vain.... So the question is ..am I also supposed to resign the split packages too?

Dear community - I have a ps3 SLIM running hfw 4.86.1 with HEN 3.0.1 and the on the fly activation of RAP files used to work. -First i had the 4.84 then i upgraded to 4.85.1 hfw with 3.0.0 HEN. -Then I installed the HEN TOOLBOX after applying the patches to DEV_FLASH (i think it was) and...

Few small things I've discovered that may not be known and are kind of interesting This first patch I call the Brick Resistant XMB Patch. Normally when the XMB loads initially, if any of the category xmls are missing, or the icontex.qrc file is missing then the PS3 kicks you to recovery. I...

I already explained this in the coldboot research thread but going to mention it here too as its a nice patch if you spend a lot of time on the XMB. I might add a resource after this gets some more testing. This example mod is a long coldboot.ac3 file that starts off with the normal ps3...

I've started progress to create a GUI for my XML generator tool, but batch won't cut it, so i'm overhauling the code to VBS so GUIs are easier to work with. Here you can follow my progress, all current files are public at https://github.com/PhoenixARC/XMLTOOL 2-10-2019: Basic GUI created (no...

This is a project i worked on over the weekend, it is based off of @DeViL303 's PS3 podcast player XMLs and allows for a person to create their own very easily without very much knowledge of XMBML coding at all!

right now all the tool can do is create a podcast directory, and insert podcast name/id/description info. not yet able to do things like add url info and such. xmls based off of @DeViL303 's podcast streamer. still a heavy work in progress. edit: progress! it can now compile 3 temp files into...

If anyone wants to make it so your CFW PS3 always returns this screen and passes the FW version checks on stuff like Updating, signing in, accessing whats new, PS Store, ads then this might help them. This is the exact same result as using the proxy bypass method, or the webman redirect method...
