if pressing refresh doesnt load the games in pkgi, you either need to connect your ps3 to the internet, confirm the text files are correctly named, or make sure the text inside the text files is correct.
This tutorial was so simple and amazing loved it but one slight problem that occurred after I donwloaded the pkgi application, when I enter the app I can’t press any button im just stuck on the “error missing txt file “ and I can’t press the triangle button to refresh, really help me out here and thanks
Because it took me some time to figure it out and I am sure many may wonder as well how did you do it, you have to press X to pick PS3 Root and then hold X button to access the usb drive
Hello! I'm running PS3HEN v4.90 and I keep getting error "An error occured during the start operation. (80010007)" when trying to start any game after downloading and installing with PKGi. What am I doing wrong? The same applies when I try to manually download and add ISOs to the PS3ISO folder from my computer.
PS2 classics will download and install but when I boot them my PS3 beeps and then switches off. Any idea why? It's a fat 40GB with non native ps2 support, but I thought that PS2 Classics were supposed to work on all PS3 models. All PSN and retail games are working though - excellent guide - Thank you Michael.
@@calebwooding875 this only happens if the text files arent recognized check and make sure the folder you put them in says pkgi not pkg there are 2 very similar folders that caused me to mess up at first
I had that problem, it occurred for me because the text files were named as “config.txt.txt” rather than “config.txt”. Renaming the txt files accordingly solved the issue for me
If you have the problem of game freezing while loading up you need to sign out of psn before starting the game so far I havnt been able to play online with any game bc it just freezes sucks bc I wanted all the cod games but I can play alone and vs bots I guess
Edit: nevermind, the pkgi.txt file didn't have the text I was supposed to copy. When I open pkgi the menu with refresh doesn't pop up. So I cannot click refresh. The controllers home button works but none of the other button do anything.
where did you get the packages folder etc? im so confused on that step. i just did cfw 4.90 and im trying to install pkg but i dont have any of those files. i did the steps you did on a sd card. but the package isnt popping up on ps3xmb when you downloaded it on the package installer.
Not sure if you found your answer yet somewhere else but you're supposed to create the file directories yourself within the root directory. Starting off by creating the folder titled "packages". Next, create the "NP00PKGI3" folder. After you do that, enter the "NP00PKGI3" folder and create another folder which you need to name "USRDIR". Good luck!
If you play one of these games while logged in to ur psn and earn trophies, can't you get banned? Or you can play the games offline, earn the trophies, then when finished earning trophies, sign on and sync, then you'll be fine?
I'm not sure I can help much here as I use burner PSN accounts for any games I run using PKGi. As with anything, there is always a ban risk with using CFW or HEN.
When i first did this it worked flawlessly. I replaced my hdd with an ssd, hacked it again, redid this and now none of my games have the buyer listed. Does anyone know a fix for this?
My console (Playstation 3 CECH-2512A with a 120gb SSD) Running the 4.90 EvilNat CFW with mmCM on Its a clean install has the mmCM only and when i run PKGi it doesnt see the Config file and it gives me a error And refreshing just gives me the same error Ive refreshed numerous times and now it looks like as if it was loading but PKGi froze down and the console itself too (I cannot reach the PS menu since it freezes there too) I do not have a PSN account and planning to play only offline. I did everything according to the installation guide but my PKGi freezes can somebody help?
Do you use a PS5/4 controller usually? If so, it unfortunately will not work on PKGi, so make sure to use a PS3 controller (doesn't matter how cheap or knock off-ish it is, mine is a $20 fake from my local game store lmao)

Any idea why when I installed dlc for Call of Duty World at War that when I launch the game the DLC isn’t installed?
also the call of duty game should be installed from pkgi ps3😊
go to package manager - psn content and there should be ur dlc pack
Do they ever add more games?
2:06 not a huge deal, but that text isn't anywhere in the link provided.
the link that says "files for pkgi" has the config and dbformat text files you can copy and paste from
This will work on PS3 super slim soon i will have it ang install pkgi and the dlcs for the US version blus.
So I need original usb jailbreak or can I just get a random usb with a file name packages 🤔
you can use any usb as long as the ps3 can read it
If you have the problem of game freezing while loading up you need to sign out of psn before starting the game so far I havnt been able to play online with any game bc it just freezes sucks bc I wanted all the cod games but I can play alone and vs bots I guess
You can also FTP the PKGi or other files to the PS3. :)
