MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON 3.55 OFW OR UNDER THIS WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING OVER 3.55!!!! I AM NOT TAKING THE BLAME IF YOU BRICK YOUR CONSOLE BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THE STEPS OR HAVE NOT READ THIS WHOLE POST!!!!

" PLEASE EXTRACT THE RAR FILES FROM THE DOWNLOADS USING WINRAR OR ANOTHER RAR PROGRAM "



Step 1 (if you are already running OFW 3.55 move straight on to Step 2)
Download Sonys OFW 3.55, take the PS3 folder out & add it to a USB stick then plug it into you PS3, now install from settings then systems update, then select update via storage media, select the update, once installed you should now be on OFW 3.55 (PLEASE NOTE the file should look like this in your USB- PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP), now delete the file off of your USB stick on your PC

(This is used for sending stuff from your PC to your PS3 of visa versa, ie - games, icons, pics, sounds, themes, rafs, coldboots, certs & loads more!), take the files out of the Step 6 folder & put onto your USB stick, now plug in your PS3 & go to the game section on your menu then go to the install package files icon, select it & select the file & install! (You will need a FTP Client on your PC to send files ether way, i use Filezilla but there are loads of good ones & are all free i also hear that FTPRush is good to! Just Google a FTP client & install to your PC) It is easy to connect your PC to your PS3, just open the OpenPS3 FTP file from the game section on your menu, it should now show you your PS3's IP Address, write that down & put that address in the host box on filezilla, press connect, you should now be up & running! (PLEASE NOTE you will need to connect everytime you wish to transfer files) Now delete the files off of your USB stick on your PC! & now this is part is (optional) if your an advanced user move to Step 7 or if you are a noob move to Step 8

Fceu Version 1.3

Shinhalsafar's port of FCEU for the PS3. Emulate the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on your PlayStation 3. This version is packaged for 3.55 jailbreak.


Snes9x (Version 4.4.9)

squarepusher2's Snes9x is a Super Nintendo emulator ported for the PS3!

Spoiler:

Build 4.4.9 (13-04-2011)
Custom Soundtrack support - select a song/album/playlist from the XMB Music category - music can be played both in-game and from within the menu.
Added USB/Bluetooth headset support - sound gets output through the headset.
Fixed Super Mario RPG level-up freeze.
Fixed Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island save file selection screen graphical glitch.
Some filebrowser fixes
Added 5x scale option.
Updated Maister Pong - now with sound effects, scoring, two-player support, nice gameplay mechanics, etc.
Build 4.4.8 (04-03-2011)
Very big performance and lag reduction optimizations. The previous builds were indeed very laggy - this should be a very big improvemen
t on that front.
You can now use two shaders at once - we call this 'Custom Scaling/ Dual Shader' mode. A scaling factor (from 1 to 4x) can be specified
. Some great graphical effects can be achieved by combining shaders.
Shader presets have been added. Shader presets are configuration files that automatically configure the settings for 'Shader 1', 'Shader 2', 'Hardware Filtering Shader 1', 'Hardware Filtering Shader 2', 'Scaling Factor' and 'Overscan'. You can create your own shader presets
- they are just plain-text files stored in USRDIR/presets.
Controllers can now be individually configured - you can specifically configure the controls for a controller connected to a specific port/number.
Cheat input has been made less buggy. With the 'New' control scheme - L2 + Analog Stick Right Down will still input cheats with the OSK, but it will add a generic label (simply the cheatcode itself as a label) until you rename this generic label by triggering the action 'Input Cheatlabel'. The 'New' control scheme has this hooked up to 'L2 + R2 + Analog Stick Right - Down'. This can of course be reconfigured to any button / button-combo you see fit.
Fixed interlaced games like Rise Of The Robots - were displaying glitched graphics before in version 4.4.7.
Added a homebrew SNES game by Themaister. Game logic is semi-hooked up - paddle works, ball bounces off the paddle, just scoring has to
be added. Anyway, this has mostly been a 3-day exercise in SNES ASM. This is just for illustrative purposes.
Added some shader variations and some new shaders - HQ4x, 4xBR - courtesy of Jacaraca.
Build 4.4.7 (13-03-2011)
Added new shaders (waterpaint-normalcontrast, waterpaint-normalcontrast-scanline,
waterpaint-highcontrast, waterpaint-highcontrast-scanline, crt-highgamma)
Optimized crt, crt-highgamma shaders - both run now at 60fps at 1920x1080.
Reduced lag.
Fixed Turbo Mode toggling - works the same now as in 4.4.4.
Fixed RSound bug with Windows OSes.
Fixed L2 button mapping issue.
Build 4.4.6 (16-02-2011)
HD version and Normal version merged into one - there are now HD shaders that do the same as the previous HD version. * HD shaders (which upscale the resolution to 512x448) instead of hacked HD version. '4xSoft-HD' is currently the best out of the HD shaders - more to come. * The HD version in version 4.4.5 ran in interlaced mode - with the HD shaders, you can run in either progressive or interlaced mode.
Fixed PAL50/PAL60 automatic activation in 576i/p mode.
Fixed Rise Of The Robots interlacing issues - other games which use interlaced mode also corrected.
Fixed Multiplayer controls - only player 1 worked.
Build 4.4.5 (14-02-2011)
New HD Version - every game runs at the SNES' high-resolution mode (512x448 interlaced mode). Try this with the right shader on (4xSoft) and this can make the games look beautiful. Both progressive (1080p/720p/480p/576p) and interlaced modes (480i/576i/1080i) work with this - try interlaced for best results.
4xSoft combined with this HD version also beautifies the pseudo hi-res transparent background layers in Kirby's Dreamland 3.
Triple Buffering option added - enabled by default. Faster graphics/shader performance with triple buffering turned on - some potential input lag with triple buffering on - turn it off in case you experience problems of this nature.
USB/Bluetooth mouse can be used now for Mouse/Super Scope games.
Primal Rage works again.

GenplusGx (Version 1.3)

A GenesisPlus (SEGA Genesis or Mega Drive emulator) port for PS3. GenesisPlus GX v1.0 for PS3 features the following:
2 Players
Roms support
Zip support
SVP emulation for virtua racing and Co
Save states
Sound fixed
Settings
6 Button Gamepad
Screen stretch
PAL60
Display FPS ON/OFF
Action Replay 1.0

Spoiler:

v1.3
Custom Soundtrack support - select a song/album/playlist from the XMB Music category - music can be played both
in-game and from within the menu.
Added USB/Bluetooth headset support - sound gets output through the headset.
Added 'Custom Scaling / Dual Shader' options from SNES9x PS3 - all the same features as SNES9x PS3 now - shader
presets, custom scaling, dual shaders, triple buffering, etc, throttle mode.
Upgraded to Genesis Plus GX 1.5.0.
Added Genesis FM/PSG volume level settings.
Added Sega Master System mode - it's now possible to play Sega Master System games - this makes use of the Mega
Drive add-on 'Power Base Converter', which was recently added to Genesis Plus GX.
Fix: Two-players should work now
Fix: Virtua Racing works now
Fix: Truxton works now
Fix: SRAM loading/saving should work properly now
Fix: some filebrowser fixes and some additions - press Start to return to the root of the filesystem
v1.2

Many more games with special mappers work (Super Street Fighter II and Mulan to name but two)
Revamped UI - inline with SNES9x/FCEU and so on
Configurable controls
Ability to set SRAM/savestate/directory path
Lots of other things

Mednafen Multi-System Emulator

Mednafen ported to the PS3 by Robo Hobo. Mednafen is a multi-system emulator, which emulates the following: Nintendo NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, SEGA Master System and Game Gear.


FBANext (r435)

Squarepusher has released an modified version of FBANext emulator, with 4xSoft-HD, better and smoother framerates and a bit faster overall.
FBANext is a port of FBAlpha Version 0.2.97.08.
FB Alpha (formerly Final Burn Alpha), based on the original Final Burn source code, is a multi-arcade emulator.
FBANext is a native port on the Xbox 360 and PS3 Platforms.
Capcom CPS-1 / Capcom CPS-2 / Capcom CPS-3 Cave / Neo Geo / Sega System 16 / Toaplan / Taito / Psikyo 68EC020 Plus Other Misc Great Arcade Systems

Spoiler:

Changelog:r435
(Changes since r424)
(PS3) Some minor performance improvements and some more lag reduction (CPS3/Sega System 16) - other drivers can show similar improvements as well
(PS3) Street Fighter III: Second Impact widescreen toggling has been fixed
(PS3) D-pad navigation moves one position down/up like before
(PS3) Dip switches now configurable in in-game menu
Changelog r424
Added waterpaint-normalcontrast.cg, waterpaint-normalcontrast-scanline.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast-scanline.cg shaders.
Optimized crt.cg shader – now runs at 60fps (fullspeed) at 1080p (1920×1080). Also added crt-highgamma.cg.
Texture references used – far faster graphics code as a result. Also adapted refreshwithalpha so that it looks the same as it did before without texture references.
Added all the shaders added inbetween r423 and the custom versions
Replaced inlineASM in burnint.h with intrinsic so that it can be compiled with SNC. Also commented out little endian functions in blargg_endian.h to get SNC to work.
Commented out all exceptions and try – catch blocks in files such as ticpp.cpp and others – SNC by default works with exception support disabled – also exceptions have performance overhead – commenting out the exceptions and the try-catch blocks for both GCC and SNC increased performance.
Got rid of virtual function call overhead in classes that inherited from a base class with virtual function definitions – such as the Cellframework Audio driver, and FBA’s aud_audio.h itself. Led to measurable performance increases and lag reduction.
Better button responsiveness – in PS3/run.cpp, for some reason button input was only being registered one out of every three frames – commented that out. There were tons of other branches in the interface code that are unnecessary – checking for bDrivOkay for instance in video_interface and vid_psgl – that were commented out for PS3. This could similary be applied to FBA 360 for some performance gains – same with the elimination of virtual function call overhead.
Menu scrolling with the D-pad/analog stick in the ROM browser/settings menu/ingame menu by pressing and holding directional keys.
Shaders now receive three additional input params for the main vertex program (main_vertex). This allows us to offload some more calculations from the fragment shader which leads to increased performance.
Added back ability to go to Service menu by pressing R3 button.
Rygar driver colors are restored again to normal colors – during the update to FBA beta, a swapword statement was left out.
Makefile works now for either SNC or GCC. Change CELL_BUILD_TOOLS to set either of the two. The best speed I currently get with GCC for some odd reason.
Makefile and preprocessor statements in the code now let you compile the source and have it detect your SDK version automatically.
There is a special debug mode you can activate (CELL_DEBUG_CONSOLE = 1) where a Telnet server will be running in the background which you can telnet into – in this mode, you can track variables and/or dump screenshots on the HDD.
Better speed, far less lag as a result of all of the above.
r423 Custom v3
Big reduction in lag – also a far more stable FPS as a result of this (due to elimination of virtual function call overhead when a class would inherit from a base class with virtual functions). You will notice the biggest improvements with fighting games for CPS2/CPS3 – but overall all games should benefit from this.
A new shader – tv-highcontrast-HD. This basically mimics the look of a high-end CRT monitor. Set ‘Hardware Filter’ to Linear and select a resolution lower than or equal to 1440×1080 to get the best results (if you have triple buffering on – else it’s 960×1080 or lower for best results)
Fixed: A hang/freeze would occur after selecting a shader and then changing the resolution.
Fixed: You can now go back and forwards in the list when selecting a shader – press Left to go back one entry in the shader list, and press Right to go forward.
r423 Custom v2
New input code
HD shaders - as with SNES9x PS3, 4xSoft-HD looks the best
r423 Custom
WHAT'S NEW:
Core - updated fm.c fmopl.c with to match latest mame.
PS3 - added triple buffer option (check options to toggle). Triple buffering will be stored in xml
CUSTOM CHANGES:
A much faster graphics driver - try CPS3 and CPS2 games and feel and see the difference in terms of speed. Most of the input lag noticed by experienced arcade players should be mostly gone now.
Triple-buffering is hardforced to be enabled by default - together with the new graphics driver makes the framerate very fast.
Sysutil OSD is used for some parts of the In-Game menu, such as saving a savestate, saving a button preset, or generating a clrmame.dat file, and so on.
r422 Custom v1
Turned on triple buffering - led to a helpful speed increase and audio/video lag reduction when transitioning screens. Especially noticeable in Street Fighter 3rd Strike and other CPS3 games.

Dev_Blind

jjolano's "dev_blind" mounts the PS3 flash (dev_flash) with read / write access; you'll find a mirrored, writeable copy of /dev_flash under /dev_blind. Exercise caution when using this; dev_flash is vital to the operation of the console and writing to or messing with dev_flash can be dangerous. (& can brick PS3's if you dont use it properly!)


Comgenie Awesome Filemanager

This particular application allows you to DIRECTLY manage your files on your PS3 console itself, actually looking at them, moving them, copying them. Much like you can do via full functioning FTP, but now on the PS3 itself, rather than using your PC and the FTP program. (PLEASENOTE when the screen is blue you can only write in the USB & game modes.... BUT once you press the select button the screen will change & when the screen is red it will be in copy or delete mode everywhere!) (& can brick PS3's if you dont use it properly!)


Coldboot Installer

Coldboot Installer is a small app to easily install your custom coldboot .raf and .ac3 files from USB000 (Slot furthest right).
You need to create a folder on the root of your USB stick called coldboot. This where you place your custom coldboot files.
Coldboot Installer can also back up you current coldboot files.
It backs them up in the app's USRDIR and to the root of USB000 if present with a .bak extention.
***** BACKUP/RESTORE COLDBOOT FILES *****
Press SELECT to BACKUP the CURRENT coldboot files
(This will overwrite your previous backup)
Press START to RESTORE coldboot files from BACKUP
****** INSTALL NEW COLDBOOT FILES ******
Press CROSS to INSTALL new coldboot.raf and AC3 files
Press SQUARE to INSTALL a new coldboot.raf
Press CIRCLE to INSTALL new coldboot AC3 files
(This could brick PS3's if you dont use it properly!)



I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, BUT I THANK THE DEV'S WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT THEM THE PS3 WOULDN'T BE THE SAME!


Hope this post answers alot of questions & helps alot of people who needed help with CFW & apps on the PS3, i will add more to this post at a later date as & when new stuff is released
