    UPDATE v1.01 & v1.01+

    After considering the reports of some users, alexander updated version 1.01. Console on some fact was not syncing the controller to 'start, if you turn on the console via the Wireless Controller in the same mode. In fact, using the cable, or turning on with POWER button, the problem would not show up. Well, the problem was solved. This problem had previously seen on some firmware. The problem was in the TAR. On the advice of Developer Habib, and Evilnat collaboration, here we give the revision 1.01+

    CHANGELOG v1.01 +
    • Fixed the Controller to sync Boot via the Wireless Controller for PS button.
    • Fixed XMB InGame.

    We thank the users and developer who helped Test. If you aiutassimo more often at each other in the PS3 scene, between Developer and Tester, it would be a different story. Special thanks to Atreyu and Kozárov by PSX-Place site, for testing on older FAT Console. A big thank you also to our @mizio90 for the 'Installer. It must be said that the new version of the CFW was ready already for a while, but I did make late because of the 'Installer

    • Download the CFW at the bottom. Rename the File .pup exactly: PS3UPDAT.PUP and confrontatene the 'MD5 with what you find at the bottom! You can use the Tool md5sums.

    • Take a USB FAT32 formatted, and create a new folder called PS3, inside this create another 'other still called UPDATE, and inside latter' inseriteci the PS3UPDAT.PUP File, which would be the custom firmware.

    • Insert the USB in the far right of the PS3 port.

    • Be sure to: Remove any disc from the player Ps3, Remove any games loaded with any Manager, Disable Internet Connection.

    • Ok. You can choose to install the CFW from the XMB or from Recovery.

    • On the XMB will just go into 'Settings' column, then 'System Upgrade' and choose 'With storage media'. Select the CFW and will start the process.

    • To enter Recovery Instead, turn off the console. Turn it back on by holding down the Power button until the console is turned off again. Now turn it back on by holding down the Power button until you hear two beeps very close. Then release the Power button! Recovery time from the menu, select 'System Update' and follow the instructions.

    • For a clean installation, you can install 2 times the CFW. You can also go back into Recovery and click Options for Rebuilding the Database and Restore the System File. So you'll have a setup more than clean and safe.

I looked in webMAN settings I must have missed that. Also do you have the link for the commands that is available for the custom combo again? My Google-Fu searching sucks today as I know I made a topic about this before if I recall.
All web commands can be used in the custom combo.
In this format for in-game
GET /browser.ps3$ingame_screenshot
Or in xmb
GET /browser.ps3$screenshot

Here is the list of commands.
http://www.psx-place.com/index.php?threads/1508/

Btw for info there is the custom combo r2+[] which can be set in the wMM setup page or manually by editing the file in /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp folder but all combos can actually be customised. Look at "custom" tab related to this on the thread linked above.

don't post on any site and I'll help u with any system from the wii-u, wii, to the 360 or the ps3. this is my revenge. hehe... I'm watching both sites.
 
I never, ever was a member @ repack as for iso it all really depends which iso as I got a lot of good tuts from wiiso :)
 
I'm not going to help either member. it's especially about repack though. they banned me for no reason. I helped iso from repack. both r dead to me.
 
Hello, i when from firmware OFW 3.05 TO this CFW 4.81 v1.01+ and i see the logo at the start and under Game i see */app_home/PS3_GAME and *Package Manager, i go in to this one and see 8Install Package Files, but i can get any pkg file to show up from the SD card. can i get some help, i have an 2g sd card in FAT32 and the PKG's or in the root. still cant see them.

should I rectify that? I hate them so much, so I'm holding on tutorials.
 
u've got to understand that I'm under a lot of stress. my entire time in the ps3 scene has been about helping others. I need some help atm with my disability. I don't plan to write a tutorial grab a klicence for cattalinic (spelling) 'til I've gotten what I need. please, bare with me. I don't want to help anyone who through me away.
 
GUYS Please looking for help i installed this and i cant do anything, i cant see the pkg files nor can i downgrade to OFW 3.55. Please help.

u can't use qa flashing? pkg files is about the category_game.xml. can u upload that?
 
I'm sorry, but pinky drank a lot and is very sleepy. boogs or another may be able to help u. ur on cfw, yes?
 
You have a fat PS3 model CECHA01 with the card reader?
Never mind fk it i had to install like 3 different CFW just to be able to downgrade to 3.55. Dont use this if you have an ceche01 80g it will not work. And stick with CEX. Again thank for the help even tho it was not much.
 
I'm still awake but very tired. once I get around my alcohol problem, I won't be signing in anymore. that will be resignation. I had hoped I could have been as staff, but that's not going to happen. I'm done with the tutorials. so I'll leave them as is. I also don't want to dump kliccenes anymore either. sorry...catallinic. whoever complained about me - thank u. u've made this much easier. when I leave, my knowledge leaves with me. I spent so much time researching and testing and I regret it since so many want me to do stuff for them. my tutorials don't mean much apparently, so it's okay. I beat one game on the ps3 considering. I care more about the wii-u and its games than I do about sony. I'll probably leave before the end of the year. I hid some alcohol and it's majorly fucked me up, but I'm given a quota to quit. I'm just very depressed/concerned about my disability. I may help u all a lot, and I wouldn't take that away, but I need some help myself. no one has offered aside from @atreyu187 .
 
@pinky depression is a psychological disorder that can be very dangerous (negative thoughts and rumination can cause effects like excessive anger, anxiety, panic or even can induce you to commit suicide in severe cases). You should try to get help from a professional, but the first step for treatment is in yourself (changing your lifestyle).

Read information about treatments and practice some sport (alone or with someone), these usually help.

Medication and drugs do not treat depression, merely the symptoms.

Sorry for the off-topic.
