20w ago - Today D3cH with help from aerosoul94 has shared a tutorial on PS3 Debug / DEX real-time PlayStation 3 game memory modding for those interested with details and a video demo below.

To quote: Hello everyone! First off I want to say special thanks to aerosoul94, we discovered this few months ago, we did a lot of mods, and now this is the time for release!

Ok, so now I'll explain how to edit memory of PS3 games in real time.

Tools needed:

• A PS3 with a DEX firmware
  
• ProDG Target Manager and ProDG Debugger (they got leaked, see HERE)
  
• make_fself.exe
  
• The ELF file of the game you want to mod
  

Your PS3 must be wired, it will not work if you're using WiFi

Ok first, start ProDG Target Manager and go on "Search For Targets" then press the refresh button to start scanning, if all is ok your PS3 should be detected, just right click on it and move it to "Debugging Station" group then double click on it, it will add your PS3 into your targets list.
