20w ago - Following up on the 4.11, 4.10 and 4.00 PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware modification updates, today Szalay has shared a guide on bringing Install Package Files folder back to VSH on Rogero 4.30 CFW.

To quote: Maybe it's just my opinion, but the Install Package via multiman and other Install PKG application are not the greatest options.

Here's how to TRULY add back Install Package from the VSH directly like before in v3.41/v3.55 for CFW build's v4.30.

21w ago - Following up on my guide, the way I see it Sony will soon patch my console unban method, in my opinion it will be possible to work around the patch, I however won't release it publicly but below I give you PS_Unban v0.1 for 3.55 and v0.1.2 for 4.21 Firmware.

PS Unban is a tool to unban your PS3 on both 4.21 and 3.55 firmwares (different pkg's) (the 4.21 should work on both but meh), no console ID needed.

If it gets fixed i'll patch it a few times.

GUIDE:

Install either "PS_Unban v0.1(4.21).pkg" (UP0001-NOBAN0000_00-0000000000000000.pkg) OR "PS_Unban v0.1(3.55).pkg" on your PS3.

• PS Unban (3.55) - PS_Unban v0.1(3.55).rar / PS_Unban v0.1(3.55).rar (Mirror) / PS_Unban v0.2.pkg (3.55)
  
• PS Unban (4.21) - PS_Unban v0.1.2(4.21) / PS_Unban v0.1.2(4.21) (Mirror) / PS_Unban v0.2.pkg (4.21)

23w ago - Following up on RenPKG and RAP2RIF, PlayStation 3 homebrew developer Eslab has now made available RIF2RAP which no longer requires users to downgrade their PS3 console to 3.55 to export the RAP files.

With this application, it is now possible to convert RIF files on the PlayStation 3 console to RAP files.

From mikufans: Hello, recently my friend released a tool: rif2rap. It does help those who want to share the rap. And there is no need to downgrade the PS3 concole to 3.55 to export the rap. Just run this rif2rap.exe, and get the rap.

Tested OK by some of my friends. The Tutorial is so easy that no need to explain here.
