[Tutorial] How to install f/w from a memory stick

This tutorial will show you how to install PS3 retail f/w from a memory stick/ memory card

1. Download the f/w that you wish to update to. A list of all the retail f/w's can be found in the downloads section of this site:

PS3HaX Network - PS3 Hacks - Downloads - Firmware

All f/w files will be named PS3UPDAT.PUP, there is no way of telling which f/w is which by the name of the .PUP file

2. Whilst that file is downloading, on the root of your memory stick make a folder called "PS3" and then make another folder inside called "UPDATE"




3. Then once the file has finished downloading, place it into the update folder, as the example shows below

MEMORY STICK > PS3 > UPDATE > PS3UPDAT.PUP

4. Then plug your memory stick into your PS3 and go to Settings > System update.



5. Then press install via storage device.



6. Click on the correct device and the PS3 should automatically recognise the file and begin the update feature.



Your PS3 will now be up to date with the latest f/w and features. Enjoy
