i ended up using a russian bgtoolset clone (psxplace wont let me paste the link because its "dangerous")
probably stole my idps but i dont play online anyway lol
massive thanks for your responses
tried making a new user profile and still no dialogue box
hmm, the toolset loads without any warnings with an "exploit successful" message
ths ps3 is second hand and i guess that although replacing the hard drive and factory resetting the flash player setting...
im not the most knowledgeable in ps3 mods but following a mrmario2011 tutorial
when i open bg toolset there's no prompt to enable flash - just a screen with my firmware, vsh, kernel etc
i've been told that if i don't enable flash then it can result in a brick
any help is appreciated
