Updated (2020): NEVER USE CCAPI with PS3HEN

I had to downgrade back down to CCAPI 2.70 because it seems 2.80 literally kills webMAN, just makes the ps3 crash when you try mounting a game, etc.

Dunno if anyone else has had this problem or not.

I've only tried once so far but it just made everything black screen. Uninstalled and I'll try it again in a day or two
 
i successfully connected my ps3 to my computer but how will i use it
CCAPI is not exactly a tool for noobs, it adds debugging capabilities to retail consoles, keeping in mind that debugging is for developers mostly.

However I assume you want to use Ccapi for RTM/Game modding & not for development purposes, in which case you need to read the CCAPI instructions thoroughly & check some tutorials about RTM, there are plenty of those tuts, in various languages, scattered all over the Internet.
 
I literally just installed this on my ps3 it automatically rebooted the system itself and now my system just stays on green light no picture no nothing then when I hit the power button nothing happens I try unplugging it I tried putting the system into safe mode and resetting it but nothing is working. What happened to my system? Is it bricked?

are you using PS3HEN?
 

That's why, CCAPI can't be used on PS3HEN.

This news would of listed it here, but this is an older release thread and was prior to PS3HEN being developed and released, so its not listed on this particular report of ccapi like other newer ones that came after PS3HEN.. Surprised his site does not mention or have any warnings..

We have a thread about some dangerous apps that you should stay away from while using PS3HEN, i think its linked in the PS3HEN release thread here.

How to recover if you can, i am not sure off hand.. but i know this has been discussed many times on the forum as this is not the first time someone did this as it was unknown for a time until reports came in. Not sure if you will need a hardware flasher or there is another route. Search the forums here or wait for one of the many smarter people then i on this subject to chime in.
