PS3 How do I read the PS3 TTY?

It is possible on HEN. In HFW settings go in here to developer settings and change the payload to debug mode.

Then you need to run the SOCAT app as a listener on your PC that is on the same LAN as your PS3. I recommend using ethernet for PS3 not wifi, I could never get it to work over wifi.

Here is my windows socat folder HERE, just click the debug ps3 bat. I think I got this of Joonie originally. You can also source Socat yourself.

If you plan to use it to help with debugging/modding games, note that on most retail builds of games you will only see the local files it is accessing like this:

For debug builds the logging is often still enabled so you can see a lot more.
