Many thanks for this! It's a little more intuitive on the PS Vita, since you don't have to reboot every time you decide to download a game there, but hey, I'm not complaining!
I would like you to know that I've never attempted this before . I followed your instructions and visually copied your .txt files and although I couldn't figure out the spacing in the second .txt file , I still got the same results . Thank you. You have a very soothing calm voice , you make a good instructor , teacher and/or preacher .
This definitely beats having to use a Bluray drive to convert the files to then transfer the files. I had to create a new account for the activation process ( I had another account for a few years on it and I kept getting an error code 80029519.) Much appreciated. Now to test some PS2 classics of games I could never get to convert properly to the PS2 classic versions.
Games are downloading now! Huge Thank you so far! I'll let you know when it's running ^_^ It's way easier than download them on pc, and the struggle to insert and convert them to ps3
Michael, I’ve been on the PS3 Homebrew scene since 2012, but was brand-new to PKGi. You explained everything in a way that I feel truly anybody using CFW could understand. Thank you so much! :)
@@findursol no, it's all just stock, it's also a Japanese PS3 slim the Scarlet red one, I don't know if any of that matters, I've done a PSTV, but I'm assuming there's much more to this
Thank You Bro. Everything Worked Fine. My Console Was PSN Banned So the Activating Process Was Not Done. But i Managed to Forcefully Activating it With Apollo Save Tool ( Humans always struggle for survival lol 😂), Thank You Once Again
Question. My ps4 main account is linked to my modded vita. I want to do remote play but it wants me to login with that linked account. How likely is a ban for me? I don’t play online
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
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.
It was a bit hard to follow your steps sir.When you went into multiman it felt like you were all over the place and the most frustrating part was when you said copy paste inside multiman. You could have explained how to copy paste it took me like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to. I know some things make sense to you but it may not to most people. Thank you for the video though I was finally able to install and start playing some games :)
@@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
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.

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?
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.
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.
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)
@@CollapsedClipsYT try unplugging the system and replugging it in, if this doesn't work, seek someone more professional than me, as I'm still considerably new to this
Is it recommended to use your own account, or would it be wise to use a different account to download games and then play them with your main? I'd like to mitigate as many risks of being banned as possible
WARNING you do not need a playstation account in order to play the games i repeat you do not need a psn account to play or download any of the game if you do you can brick your console and not be able to use it unless you get a new license for your console

Thank you so much! This was thr most informative video I have ever seen on the topic of pkgi.

Bro is there any issue if we are connecting our console to the internet?

Pkg just made my life much easier when it came to downloading games , instead of going computer back to game 🔥🔥
bro i need help, when i sign in it says i need to update system software what should i do
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.
why doesnt the menu button work or any of the buttons that i try to use on pkgj?

Very good guide! Nice work, buddy!
when I try to sign up for PSN it says I need to update. Does anyone know how to bypass this?
you need to update MrMario has a good tutorial
how do you get the txt files from the flash drive (i dont know how to get to the dev usb from multi man) and pat them where you need them
Do you make a new account so you don’t risk getting banned or is that step optional? Great video
i friggin love you, thnak you so so soooo much, this saved me
