Installing Homebrew:

Ok now to get to installing homebrew!

First thing to do is delete all the folders and files off your USB or External drive. Now homebrew will be in a .pkg format and goes on the root of your drive.

Root mean you make no folder it just goes straight onto your drive.

Now of course your going to want to play your "legally backed up games". There three back up managers that are very popular. They are Gaia, Multiman and Rogero.

Which one you install is up to you as they are all basically the same, just each developer put there own touch on the program. Now go download one just google it


Gaia Manager - >click here!

At the time of me writing this 2.05 is the newest version so download that!

Out of the 3 files you only need UP0001-GAIA01985_00-7679866932773369-GAMES.pkg. Put that file on root of your drive. again just google it



Rogero Manager - click here! Choose the stealth.pkg for Kmeaw Custom Firmware.



Multiman Manager -click here!
Choose the (FW 3.4+) BASE package. It will be a rar file. The only 2 files you need are and the multiMAN ver 1.14.00 BASE [20110125_160000].pkg and the options_default.ini.

Put those on the root of your drive. You can then update from Multiman menu itself by pushing R3 when in its menu.

Now sometime you'll want to ftp to PS3 so you'll need BlackBox PS3 Server. google it im sorry links are busted will fix

Now plug your drive into your PS3 and turn on if not already. Go to the Game tab in the PS3 menu and go down to Install Packages Files folder and select it.

You will see a list of the .pkg files you just put on your drive.

Select which ever one and follow the instruction given to install the program.

After it install you will have a icon under your Game tab. Example if you install Gaia you will now have a Gaia Manager icon under your Games tab.

Do the same for any other homebrew you downloaded and it all show up under Game tab.



Well that it! If you want to learn how to use these programs just read the threads given in the links above there pretty easy.

As mention this guide is not to show you how to play games, but get you up and running so you can along with other homebrew.

I will say that since as of right now PS3 can only read fat32 so you will need a file splitter, because if a game has one file that over 4 gigs (the game could be 20 gigs as long as it doesn't have a file 4 gigs or over) it wont fit on your external drive.

All the file splitter does is find the file splits in a format that all backup manager can read.

Then you use your back up manager of choice and transfer it to the internal drive of your PS3 and it joins the split file back, so you now can play your game.


Id like to thank all the Developers that work so hard to bring us all this great stuff! Without them we'd all still be playing emulators on our hacked Wii's!

Hope this guide has helped you as I know how hard it is to get into as scene when there so much information out there and a lot of it old!
