first of all i would like to thank santa (i.e: myself) for getting me a PS3 :) and thanks to all the wonderful/genuises people

who created these wonderful files
below is a guide to how to jailbreak a PS3 using iPod 5.5G.
i would like to point out that there are many guides out there just google them.

FAQ about PS3 jailbreak can be found here

more guides for different iPods and devices can be found here

NOTE: each time you want to run/install a package you must first jailbreak the PS3

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY IF YOUR PS3 GETS DESTROYED IN ANY WAY AND THESE FILES ARE NOT DONE BY ME

Things you need:
1. PS3 (duh!) firmware 3.41
2. iPod 5.5G
3. regular USB (flash memory, usb, ..etc)
4. Internet connection
5. patience :)

PS3 Jailbreaking:
1. shutdown the PS3 and and unplug it from the electricity
2. connect your ipod to the first usb port on the right
3. turn on the ipod
4. you should see a menu which allows you to select different options
5. select Hermes v4B
6. quickly turn on the PS3 and press the eject button
7. if all went well the PS3 will take more time than usual to boot and you will have two extra options in XMB
8. insert the regular USB in the second free usb port
9. go to install packages in the XMB
10. install the packages downloaded from above :):)

Backup a game using multiMAN (my favourite):
1. run multiMAN from the XMB
2. insert blu-ray game into the driver
3. copy the game to internal HDD and wait
4. after copying finishes you can play the game without the blu-ray :):):)

Note: not all games work without blu-ray. go [url=ttp://www.psjcl.com]here[/url] to check whether a game works or not with/without disk

hope you like my first tutorial to a great console :)
