PS3:Firmwares

Below is a list of the up-to-date firmwares of the most popular brands. It is recommended to download them straight from the source, but this page serves as a backup in case the developer’s site go down. If any links are broken, send a message to the moderators and it’ll be fixed ASAP. You can check the MD5 hash to verify that the file you download is unmodified and an exact copy.

• NoBD means it's for use with consoles with a broken or missing Blu-Ray logic board.
• NoBT means it's for use with a broken or missing Bluetooth chip.
• There are also firmware versions that are both noBD and noBT, in case both are missing/broken.

A list of most of the firmwares and MD5s can be found here and in the different categories.
