PS3 Custom Firmware

The holiday season is just around the corner, and that's why you need to know what gifts to get for your loved ones. I've been scouring the internet for all of you and keeping track of reader comments, and here's what I think are the top 5 gifts for gamers this season!

With so many developments in the scene lately, updates to all of the major PS3 tools are starting to trickle in. Early on in this cycle comes $n!pR who is here to announce the 1.30 version of his .pkg GUI.

French developer raymanvtwo over at ps-addict.fr has released a tutorial that claims possible installation of Rebug CFW 4.21.1 on any PS3, that is with the aid of a hardware flasher.

We've seen a couple of different options when it comes to disk eboot signers, but what about those .pkg files used for homebrew and PSN games? Thanks to z3roblu3 you now have a pretty cool batch script to get the job done.

While we have been reporting all kinds of 4.x firmware releases over the past couple of weeks, that certainly hasn't stopped all developers from trying to find their own way to fill the gap. Thanks to this new release, we now have yet another stable way to experience Sony's latest firmware.

DarkGiovy is back with an update to DarkEboot Fixer. Version 3.5 tackles various bugs with the 'alternative method" and SELF/SPRX files which could aid in better game patching for custom firmware 3.55 users.

Developer Aldostools has released an updated PS3 Tools Collection. A must have for the avid PS3 custom firmware user.

If you've been experiencing video playback problems with the latest version of Rogero's 4.30 custom firmware, then this update fixes just that.

There have certainly been a lot of game fixing tools released since all of the major key leaks, but some fans would argue no option is more complete than DarkGiovy's DarkEboot Fixer.

While the Rogero CEX firmware has certainly had its share of fiery reports, the talented developer comes back to us today with an updated version 1.02 which will please media junkies and multiMAN users alike.

If you've got a PS3 on or below factory firmware 3.56, you're in luck with this new hardware method to flash E3's 4.30 custom firmware.

With the release of other PlayStation 3 tools comes an update to PS Multi Tools.

Here is the next installment of TrueAncestor EBOOT Resigner with yet another update.

Another multiMAN update brings support for those with broken Blu-Ray drives and CFW Rebug.

A lot of teams have been releasing 4.21 custom firmware options these days, but if you're a user on the scene I think we may have just found the new standard. Rebug is back with CFW 421.1 and 355.3!

With the release of all these new PS3 keys to sign pretty much any game you desire, comes a new need for a tool to do that work for you. JjKkYu is here to give us a fitting update for TrueAncestor to do just that!

If you happen to enjoy SvenGDK’s simple but worthy PS3 MultiTools that allows you to get your favorite games up and running, you’ll be glad to know that version 6 has landed today with support for some of the latest scene changes.

If you’ve been following up on the releases of  the popular PUP decrypter and repacker known as PUAD GUI, you’ll be glad to know that there is a new version out today that supports a whole mess of new features for you to poke into the internals of your console.

The PS3 scene is rolling again and Rogero has been one of the developers contributing to it all. He's back again to throw his 4.30 custom firmware in the mix.

The PS3 scene is rife with leaks lately. After the release of lv0 keys comes yet another interesting key set.
