Technical Information


Your PS3 can be configured with either CFW or HEN and will depend on the model of PS3 that you are in possession of. For the most part the two are used exactly the same. HEN must be re-enabled every time the PS3 is turned back on. If you do not see a HEN button on the XMB (Cross media bar, aka the home menu) then you have CFW. You can further confirm you have CFW by confirming the text “Evilnat” appears on screen during bootup.

Adding Games


Games can be added by copying the files over FTP to the console, or by downloading from PKGI, which downloads the games directly from PSN.

Using PKGi


PKGi is a package downloader which allows you to download games directly from PSN, on the PS3 console. While this is convenient, it does have limitations:

Usage is simple.

  1. Ensure you are connected to the internet.
  2. Navigate to Network → PKGi PS3 and select it with X.
  3. Once opened, you will see a list of entires for download. You can scroll this list, or Search for a specific item by pressing Triangle → Selecting “Search” → Searching for the item you want.
    1. You can select as many items as you want.
    2. Pay attention to your free space in the bottom right, as you will need space for the both the download as well as the actual game to be installed.
