This guide will walk you through installing a PKG file onto your console over your local network.

Prerequisites

  • CFW with Cobra enabled (Rebug REX/D-REX recommended)
  • webMAN MOD or Irisman (latest versions)
  • PS3 Net Server GUI (aka ps3netsrv GUI)
  • PS3netsrv set up on your console

Installing PKG Files via WebMAN MOD

  1. In your shared location create a folder called "PKG".
  2. Move packages (PKGs) into this folder.
  3. Run ps3netsrv GUI on the PC and configure WebMAN's setup with the IP of your PC (displayed on the top of the window of ps3netsvr GUI).
  4. Navigate to ps3.aldostools.org/?ip=<your-ps3-ip-address> and select /PKG (The /PKG folder will be mounted as /dev_bdvd) If successful you will see a notification "PKG Loaded" on your PS3 soon as you select this option.
  5. Navigate to XMB's Install Package Files (Standard) and install any of the listed package files (found in the root of the mounted /dev_bdvd).

Installing PKG Files via Irisman

  1. In your shared location create a folder called "PKG".
  2. Move packages (PKGs) into this folder.
  3. Open Irisman and navigate to Global Menu.
  4. Scroll to "Initialize FTP server", press D-PAD Right until you see "Mount /net_host/PKG as /dev_bdvd/". If successful you will see a popup notification in the upper right corner of the screen that reads "PKG Loaded"
  5. Now you have the option to Install these via the XMB via the Install Package Files (Standard) location (Select YES to exit to XMB) or to install as Package bubbles select NO and it will then take you to the file manager where you can select the PKGs to be copied and once done selecting the package(s) then head to the XMB and you will see your games. If you are using Rebug's Install Package Manager, they will be in the PSN Content Folder.
