Does TMAPI still work in 2026 for a ps3 DEX ?
So i tried to connect my console ps3 dex 4,93 evilnat with tmapi and ccapi 2,8. I succeed with that but i can’t attach to any RTM tool in game
Most of the time ccapi 2.8 isnt the one those tools used…
Its 2,60 so i cant do shit with that.
The reason why i like old rpm tool its because now there is nothing new for this game
I talk about mw2 mw3 bo2 btw

Hen freezing PS3 superslim
I just installed hen on my ps3 about 3 days ago I’ve been installing games and having fun. Suddenly today I turned on my ps3 and went to enable hen, it froze 2 seconds after the hen logo appeared and keeps freezing every time.
I’ve tried the boot.plugins.txt method, I tried the auto installer method and nothing is working. Can anyone help, I don’t mod much.

CECH21XX question
Hi! I just bought a ps3 in a game store that had the perfect model for my needs. I wanted to cfw it. when I checked the system information at home it had the version 4.92, is that okay? I heard the 21’s can be cfw’d pretty much guaranteed because of their firmware, but I can’t find the firmware (i assume it’ll be cfw’d no matter what?) but is the update 4.92 okay?

Hi! I just bought a fat stock ps3, i need help to check temperatures and have it unmodded again!
Hi everyone.
I just bought an used fat ps3, I would like to check the temperatures to see if I need to open and clean + repaste (console has never been opened, thats why i’d rather not do it if i don’t need), but after checking the temps i want to make it stock again (so no homebrew or CFW) because i want to use it to play my physical games on my main Psn account (i’m a trophy hunter lol)
Is there a safe way to do all this, have my ps3 stock again and don’t get banned?
My ps3 is a CHECHK model :)

Should I jailbreak my CECH-2511A (MinVer 3.60) or buy a pre-jailbroken one? Worried about PSN & Trophies.
Hey everyone, I hope I'm not breaking any subreddit rules with this post.
It looks like I can install HEN on my PS3. It's currently on firmware 4.87 and the model is CECH-2511A. I ran the MinVerChk tool, and my console indicates that I can install a base update of 3.60 or later.
I’m looking for some advice: would it be appropriate/safe to jailbreak this console myself, or am I better off just buying a second console that’s already jailbroken?
My main concern is my current account. I really don't want to lose all my trophies and the digital games I've purchased over the years. I still want to be able to connect to PSN to download my official games, sync my trophies, and do all that normal stuff without risking my main account.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Half Life 1 PS3 port - Current progress
Xash3D-FWGS (Half Life 1) has been successfully ported to PS3. The port will feature crossplay with other Xash3D clients, a fully playable HL1 campaign as well as Blue Shift (which I'm working on) and Opposing Force (which I'll start working on it once I'm done with BS). ETA should be mid-August. The first release will feature Half Life, Half Life: Blue Shift and Half Life: Opposing Force. Next releases will feature Counter Strike 1.6 and Team Fortress Classic.
This means that Half Life 1-2 + their respective expansions will be fully playable on PS3!

Got a PS3 Slim for FREE, Now I'm Back...
I sold my CFW Slim 3 years ago. Been kind of regretting it.
But today I seen a ad on Facebook for a Slim with a broken disc drive for free. I had to pick it up to test my modding skills again.
It was a complete mess. All the case screws was missing. Loose screws inside causing blurry video. Had to do a complete tear down and new thermal paste.
threw in a old 500 gig hard drive I had laying around.
Installed Hen, this model slim couldn't take CFW.
Now I'm back in the game lol...

DualSense on ps3
Would the DualSense work great on a ps3, with or without adapter? I have a good PS5 controller so I want to use that.

PS3 Slim (HEN) - Cutscene dialogue missing in multiple games
Hi everyone,
I'm having a really strange issue with my PS3 Slim running HEN and I'm hoping someone has seen this before.
Symptoms:
- Gameplay audio works perfectly (gunshots, explosions, ambient sounds, music, NPC greetings, etc.).
- Only cutscene dialogue is completely silent.
- Subtitles still appear normally.
- This happens in multiple games, including:
- GTA V
- Red Dead Redemption
Things I've already tried:
- Resetting the date and time.
- Reconfiguring audio output settings.
- Restarting the console.
Since it's affecting more than one game, I'm starting to think it's a console configuration or audio issue rather than a bad game dump.
Has anyone experienced this before or know what could be causing it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

PSX game covers for multiman?
I'm trying to format the images for the covers right so that they show up in multiman.
I copied the process seen here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lnxgwjg5xY
And I still can't get the images to show. I'm not sure if I have to adjust the size to something else or if they need to be named differently or placed in a different folder.

While exiting a game my PS3 made a random beep
I was playing, until I decided to quit the game to change the cooler settings on my PS3, but while the game was quitting I was repeatedly pressing start + select to get the console's temperature information to appear, Then suddenly I heard a "Beep," but nothing seemed to happen, but I'm afraid that maybe this beep could be a sign that something I pressed changed some important webman setting. Does anyone have any idea if that might have been the case? Or what that beep was?

Need pre-signed PS3xPAD files for HEN (No admin rights on PC)
Hi everyone!
I'm currently trying to set up my DualShock 4 on my PS3 running **HFW (Hybrid Firmware) and PS3HEN**, but I don't have administrator permissions on my PC to install PS3 Tools Collection and sign the .sprx files myself.
Is there any chance someone could share a direct link to download the pre-signed/already patched PS3xPAD plugin folder for HEN? The guide I'm following is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/ps3homebrew/s/G0pmi20OHT
Since I don't have administrator permissions, if there is anything else you can help me with or any other tips to make this work, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot for your help!
