This is “MY” version of the ALL IN ONE PS3Xploit 3.0 HAN hacking guide based on “MY” experience with my PS3 Super Slim which was NOT hack-able, does NOT have CFW, and only works with OFW 4.82 and up (if there is an up).
I can now play tons of PSN and PS3 games on my console “AS WELL AS” PS2, PS1, PS3, and SNES.
NOTE: I would read this guide and watch the 2 suggested videos “AT least 2 times” before you do anything with your OFW console.
I DID NOT follow this advice and was lucky (because there was no guide last month, I just jumped from small bit of info to small bit of info).
Prepare a USB drive. I suggest something like 4 gigs and under, its easiest to either A. Buy it and keep it as Fat32 or B. Format it back to Fat32.
I actually used a 256 gig external and had to use a software to install it.. OVERKILL. Not necessary at all. Now I have it as a regular external drive I save all my backups and so on with. I use a small 4 gig whenever I want to do anything on my PS3.
Now we want to run the first installation
Sweet, now we are back in the XMB
Alright, later on, after doing some more steps, we are going to make sure we do not have to do this whole browser stuff to enable HAN all the time.

Before installing anything at all, or doing anything at all, create a new email (or use a spare email you have) and create a new user on the PS3. Then go ahead and start a new PSN account with that email and verify it and so on.
This is due to the fact that there is a chance that you can ban your account. My account has not been banned BUT, follow this advice:
My Main Account:
Play my legit games I bought from PSN
Play online with my legit games I bought from PSN and my games on Disc.
My Throw away account:
Play “any” installed game
Play “any” installed game online
Cannot Load legit games after enabling the Hack to play the “installed games”.
If you follow the above advice, your “Main” account that you bought games from PSN from is safer (nothing is ever 100%, only death, and even then you can be revived if within a short time frame).
Got it?
Summary: Main account, legit stuff.. Second account, backups (even online gaming)

Summary: Main account, legit stuff.. Second account, backups (even online gaming)
- Create a new User for your PS3.
- Login to your throw-away PSN account on your new user account.
- Navigate the XMB to "Playstation Network/Account Management/Activate" and activate your console.
- Logout of secondary PSN account.
- Reboot/Shutdown.
Prepare a USB drive. I suggest something like 4 gigs and under, its easiest to either A. Buy it and keep it as Fat32 or B. Format it back to Fat32.
I actually used a 256 gig external and had to use a software to install it.. OVERKILL. Not necessary at all. Now I have it as a regular external drive I save all my backups and so on with. I use a small 4 gig whenever I want to do anything on my PS3.
- On your PC, download the PS3xploit Han Support Files from below.
Code:PS3xploit source (because they keep themselves updated) http://ps3xploit.com/files/release/han_supportfiles.zip
- Extract "han_supportfiles.zip" to the root of your USB drive.
- Insert the USB drive into the right-most USB slot on your PS3 (USB closest to BluRay).
Now we want to run the first installation
- Boot console.
- CHECK YOU ARE ON YOUR SECONDARY USER Account.
- Open Browser and clear the cache, add
Code:
www.ps3xploit.com
- Navigate to Home.
- Navigate menu at top of webpage and select "HAN Installer".
- Once webpage has loaded, scroll down and select "Initialize HAN Installer".
- Wait for "HAN Installer initialized successfully" in green letters. If it fails to initialize then close browser and start over from step 3.
- Click "Launch HAN Installation".
- HAN Installer will do its thing and then reboot
- HAN is now installed on your PS3
Sweet, now we are back in the XMB
- Open Browser and it should open to the right place.
- Navigate menu at top of webpage and select "HAN Enabler"
- Once webpage has loaded, scroll down and select "Initialize HAN Enabler"
- Wait for "HAN Enabler initialized successfully" in green letters. If fails to initialize then close browser and start over.
- Select "Enable HAN"
- Browser will close.
- HAN is now enabled
Alright, later on, after doing some more steps, we are going to make sure we do not have to do this whole browser stuff to enable HAN all the time.
Dumping the original Act.dat and IDPS.hex is the guiding force behind signing all packages and installing them... like all packages… even bluRay discs to package.
Once you actually have these saved, make a copy of them again. Just in case.
IMPORTANT! We always want to log into the same secondary user account during all of this, and anything HAN.
Be sure to copy those two files to your computer (in your PS3 modding folder root) and back them up somewhere.

IMPORTANT! We always want to log into the same secondary user account during all of this, and anything HAN.
- Navigate to Home in the browser (much easier than retyping the website all the time)
- Navigate the menu and select "ACT/IDPS Dumper".
- Select "Initialize ACT/IDPS Dumper” and wait for the green letters.
- If failed, repeat. If successful, select "DUMP ACT.DAT and IDPS"
- Your License has now been dumped to USB
Be sure to copy those two files to your computer (in your PS3 modding folder root) and back them up somewhere.
In this section we start with actual package installing and we do it with the HAN TOOLBOX.
This sweet thing will make it so we never have to open the browser and do all the fun HOME and initialize stuff anymore. Plus it has a demo downloader (downloading directly from PSN which is basically C00 games, and they can all be activated as full version automatically too).
WARNING: DO NOT use the File manager in Han ToolBox unless you know what you are doing.. if not, prepare to Reinstall an entire PS3 Image on the internal Hard drive.
You can download v0.4 from
, copy the PKG to USB drive and insert into the rightmost USB.
Now you can easily click on the folder “Han Toolbox” and then enable HAN in one click (none of that browser stuff anymore).
Now to “DEMO DOWNLOADS”
For the Demo Downloader feature to work correctly, a couple more steps are needed:
Now you can go to HAN Toolbox / Demo Downloader and scroll through games you can install directly without going to PSN
Later I will cover the cool one time install Unlocker for “MOST” of these types of games.
After you install it, most of these games will automatically turn into FULL Version games instead of demos.

The next few sections I cover how to Convert and install everything OLDER than the PS3.
We will need the following tools:
Now we want to keep things tidy, so here is how you may want to install things:
Some tools will give errors if filenames contain spaces. So if you try to create a game from:
"C:/……/Desktop/PS3Modding/Playstation 1/PSX Game 1.ISO"
It will fail because A. There is a space in "Playstation 1" and B. There are a few spaces in "PSX Game 1.ISO"
The correct file path would be:
"C:/ ……/Desktop/PS3Modding/Playstation1/PSXGame1.ISO"
Thus concludes tool setup for PS1 (though we use the Resigner for everything)
We will need the following tools:
- PS3Tools by Aldotools - An AIO suite of tools. Please Google this for download.
- PKG Resigned by Habib - A resigning tool to create signed PKGs. This folder is where you slap in your Dat and Hex files in rifgen-master folder. Download
Code:
https://github.com/PS3Xploit/PS3xploit-resigner/archive/master.zip
- PSX Classics Tools - A few tools for converting PSX games. Download
Code:
https://usersdownload.com/5ujyr7ynjhdv.html
- TrueAncestorRepacker - A repacker to pack your PSX content into PKGs. Please Google either 2.30 or 2.45 for download.
Now we want to keep things tidy, so here is how you may want to install things:
Some tools will give errors if filenames contain spaces. So if you try to create a game from:
"C:/……/Desktop/PS3Modding/Playstation 1/PSX Game 1.ISO"
It will fail because A. There is a space in "Playstation 1" and B. There are a few spaces in "PSX Game 1.ISO"
The correct file path would be:
"C:/ ……/Desktop/PS3Modding/Playstation1/PSXGame1.ISO"
- Extract PKG Resigner to PS3Modding folder
- Copy your ACT.DAT and IDPS.HEX to "\ PS3Modding \PS3xploit-resigner-master\rifgen-master" folder
- Extract PSX Classics Tools to PS3Modding folder.
- Create new folder "TrueAncestor" in PS3Modding and unzip TrueAncestorRepacker into this folder
- PS3Tools.exe may trigger your antivirus. If this happens, make an exception in your antivirus software or disable your antivirus while using the tools.
- Install PS3Tools to your PS3Modding folder.
- You may have some trouble opening "PS3Tools_Menu.exe". A message may appear saying "MSVBVM50.DLL" was not found. If you get this message, download and install
Code:
https://download.microsoft.com/download/vb50pro/utility/1/win98/en-us/msvbvm50.exe
Thus concludes tool setup for PS1 (though we use the Resigner for everything)
For PSX conversion you will need a few images for the 'look and feel' of your game within the XMB menu. There are 3 images in total but I only use 2.
ICON0.PNG - This is the icon of the game when highlighted in XMB
PIC1.PNG - This is the background image when highlighted in XMB
PIC0.PNG - This is the information box located in the bottom right of the screen when highlighted in XMB
You can download a set of blank templates from
.
Edit as you wish. I usually use Photoshop or GIMP2 to import the game cover art onto the ICON0 template and export.
I then search Google images for a relevant image for the background, usually of in game play.
Any PNG can be used but filename must match the ones above and ICON must be 320x176 and background image 1920x1080.
CONVERTING THE ACTUAL ISO
I will be using GTA 2 as an example to run you through the conversion process.

CONVERTING THE ACTUAL ISO
I will be using GTA 2 as an example to run you through the conversion process.
- Rip/acquire your PSX to ISO (lots of places online to get your ISO’s for emulators)
- Navigate to "\psx_classics\PSX2PSP 1.4" and select "Classic mode"
- Click "Options" and move "Compression" Slider to 0
- Save and close.
- Reopen "Classic Mode"
- Select your ISO file. For multi disk games, click the dropdown menu to add more disks.
- REMEMBER. Name your files and directory's so they contain NO spaces.
- Fill in the "Output PBP Folder" box (for ease, I set this to "\psx_classics\")
- Check "Game Title" is correct (Grand Theft Auto 2)
- Write down the games "GameID" (SLES01404)
- Click "Convert"
- Navigate to "\psx_classics\" and find the newly created folder of your game (Grand Theft Auto 2)
- Copy/Move the "EBOOT.PBP" from this folder into "\psx_classics\" folder.
- Drag "EBOOT.PBP" onto "make_psone_classic_metadata.exe" to make an ISO.BIN.DAT file.
- Copy this and past it into notepad:
- "make_npdata -e ISO.BIN.DAT ISO.BIN.EDAT 1 1 1 0 16 3 00 UP9000-TITLEID_00-0000000000000001 5"
- Edit this command so it contains your "GameID" where "TITLEID" is. So in my GTA 2 example:
- "make_npdata -e ISO.BIN.DAT ISO.BIN.EDAT 1 1 1 0 16 3 00 UP9000-SLES01404_00-0000000000000001 5"
- Hold shift and right click an empty part of the "psx_classics" folder and select "Open command window here"
- If you don't have "Open command window here", Google a guide to add it to windows.
- Copy and Paste your edited command into the command window and hit Enter. You will receive a new file named "ISO.BIN.EDAT"
- Copy ISO.BIN.EDAT to "\psx_classics\PS1 Classics PSN Work Folder\USRDIR"
- Copy EBOOT.PBP to "\psx_classics\PS1 Classics PSN Work Folder\USRDIR\CONTENT"
- Copy your ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG to "\psx_classics\PS1 Classics PSN Work Folder\" (Optional)
- Navigate to "\ps3tools\" and open "PS3Tools_Menu.exe"
- Select "PARAM SFO Editor"
- Click folder icon and open "PARAM.SFO" found in "\psx_classics\PS1 Classics PSN Work Folder\"
- Edit "TitleID" (In my example "SLES01404")
- Edit "Title" (In my example, "Grand Theft Auto 2")
- Tick the "576 16:9" and "480 16:9" boxes for widescreen support.
- Click Save and close PARAM.SFO Editor.
- Rename "PS1 Classics PSN Work Folder" to your GameID, in my example "SLES01404"
- Copy this whole folder to "\TrueAncestor\game", if "game" folder is not there, create it.
- Open "Repacker.exe" in the "\TrueAncestor\" folder.
- Select 1 (Fast PKG) and hit enter.
- Your GameID should show up in the list. If not, your gameid folder is in the wrong place. Check your folder structure.
- Select 1 and hit enter.
- TrueAnsestor will take a few mins to repackage your game.
- Once complete, a PKG will be contained within "\TrueAncestor\pkg"
- Copy/Move this PKG to your resigner folder "\PS3xploit-resigner-master\rifgen-master"
- Drag your PKG onto "ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe"
- The resulting PKG will be your finished product!!
- Copy to USB and insert into rightmost USB on PS3
Installing on the PS3
- ENABLE HAN!
- Navigate XMB to "Game/Package Manager/Install Package Files/Standard"
- Select your PKG and it will start the process of copying the PKG.
- WAIT!! Please be patient, the "Please Wait" screen will take some time.
- KEEP WAITING!! I know you think it hasn't worked but it is working
- Once the "Please Wait" has gone, navigate the XMB to "Game/Package Manager/Playstation Network Content"
- Here you will find the install for your PKG. Select it.
- Wait for install process to finish.
Now for PS2 games (You can find a ton of ISO’s from emulator places as well)
You will need an ICON and PIC file for the 'look and feel'. Same parameters as previously explained in PS1 section.
You will also need an extra file:
- 2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333.rap - Universal PS2 Classics RAP file. Google for download.
This file will ONLY Need to be signed and installed (1) time on the PS3, then from there, you will never have to install it again, and can skip this part in the instructions.
PS2 ISO Conversion
UPDATE: @aldostools has updated his Ps2classicgui application to now include configuration files. This will increase compatibility with certain ps2 titles.
You can find his updated tool

Many games work, some games do not work “Well” like being slow, and some games do not work at all.
Exactly the same as PSP. Woo Hoo.
The following PS3 sections are Disc (or torrent/direct downloaded files), PSN games, and C00 games.
Let’s begin with BluRay:
For BluRay backups to work there must be an update available for your game.
If your game never received an update, you may be able to still install your game IF it was re-released in the PSN Store (covered later in this guide).
You can check if there is an available update by opening ps3tools and starting "PS3 Updates".
Type your game into the search field and the tool will tell you if one is available
There is also a BluRay CFW2OFW game compatibility list, but most of the games that say “Exclusive method” are easy to get as a PSN remake. The ones that say “No” are almost always a NO GO.
TOOLS:
If your game is in ISO format, use a virtual disk utility to mount the ISO or you can use 7zip or other.
Whatever utility you use, we want to extract the contents into and empty folder.
Take note of where you saved the contents.
Downloading Update and Converting to PKG

TOOLS:
- You need CFW2OFWHelper
Code:
https://github.com/friendlyanon/CFW2OFW-Helper/releases/download/hotfix1/release.zip
- And Make Backup PKG - This tool will take these 2 folders and create a game PKG and an Update PKG.
Code:
https://hax.b4k.co/ps3/han/make-backup-pkg.zip
If your game is in ISO format, use a virtual disk utility to mount the ISO or you can use 7zip or other.
Whatever utility you use, we want to extract the contents into and empty folder.
Take note of where you saved the contents.
Downloading Update and Converting to PKG
- Copy/Move the contents of your ISO to "\CFW2OFW Helper" folder
- Run "CFW2OFW Helper.exe"
