I would like you to know that I've never attempted this before . I followed your instructions and visually copied your .txt files and although I couldn't figure out the spacing in the second .txt file , I still got the same results . Thank you. You have a very soothing calm voice , you make a good instructor , teacher and/or preacher .

[@mbcrump]

Many thanks!! I greatly appreciate that.

[@teighan7829]

I would have to agree, he definitely would fit in either of those fields very well.

[@findursol]

Michael, I’ve been on the PS3 Homebrew scene since 2012, but was brand-new to PKGi. You explained everything in a way that I feel truly anybody using CFW could understand. Thank you so much! :)

[@B61zz13]

Many thanks for this! It's a little more intuitive on the PS Vita, since you don't have to reboot every time you decide to download a game there, but hey, I'm not complaining!

[@residentchaotic]

Ok

[@heavenlytoast3856]

Game won't show up

[@teighan7829]

Thank you very much for this Getting my PS3 Slim tomorrow, stoked to get these games installed on my system

[@Mazendrak]

Very good tutorial - I didn’t have a clue what to do to install the game once it installed

[@tyn3117]

THANK YOU. Works great. Make sure you're online when refreshing PKGI.

[@gmr2gnr]

one of the cleanest tutorial and setup to get it running.

[@noahosu]

Thank you so much! This was thr most informative video I have ever seen on the topic of pkgi.

[@newtonave]

Most useful video on getting rap files. Thanks for the help and keep up the good work!

[@teighan7829]

I'm so happy I can install multiple games at once, makes it a lot easier

[@GodlikeThomas]

Thanks from Germany! It was very helpful!

[@duangporncelarat1653]

got it to work took a few tries thanks for your help -sky

[@SashreekCh]

Thank u so much for helping me out. I downloaded Uncharted 2 so many but every it got the same issue, but this time it got solved

[@narutocodm5571]

It worked bro thanks a lot ❤️💙❤️💙 You earned a subscriber

[@BerserkerDre]

man thank you so much, this worked amazingly, so many games, so little time lol

[@McManu777]

This actually works, just installed BO2 :) thanks a lot

[@armyboi707]

Oh yes it does! I am ripping and downloading so many games on my ps3

[@Flexxygaming-u1r]

You are such a nice guy u help everyone may God bless you ☺️

[@NeeoDroid]

Thank you for clear and comprehensive video Worked perfectly

[@mbcrump]

Great to hear!

[@MkRyse]

@@mbcrump hi. I have a question: do this store include last versions of the games? I mean with all patches that ever released?

[@NoPlace99]

Thanks for the detailed guide bro! I have a question though: why some games says I need to reactivate/renew key from PS store?

[@PaulQuin]

Very good guide! Nice work, buddy!

[@Neon_Prophet]

My friend, you have done it! Tomorrow I will experiment with getting new sites into the DB to boost the game collection.

[@horror-9720]

Plz give me db and config files and all files i need i dont have a pc and im stuck 😢

[@Jajareto]

Thanks, I was so lost and didn't knew how PKGi worked.

[@Nickachuuu]

This definitely beats having to use a Bluray drive to convert the files to then transfer the files. I had to create a new account for the activation process ( I had another account for a few years on it and I kept getting an error code 80029519.) Much appreciated. Now to test some PS2 classics of games I could never get to convert properly to the PS2 classic versions.

[@mumfnah]

9:30 for my reference Thanks for the upload 👌

[@joshbrillon5716]

Do you make a new account so you don’t risk getting banned or is that step optional? Great video

[@GamerDan89]

Games are downloading now! Huge Thank you so far! I'll let you know when it's running ^_^ It's way easier than download them on pc, and the struggle to insert and convert them to ps3

[@oldManLoo]

Still worked for me ! Thanks!

[@supporttunedoutmerch7058]

cant refresh PKGi ? Will not refresh or bring up the side menu?

[@adadugg7060]

thanks a lot for the video man, just completed this process on my ps3 superslim. downloading demon's souls now!

[@danishiqbal5652]

Bro is there any issue if we are connecting our console to the internet?

[@JimGryp]

Because it took me some time to figure it out and I am sure many may wonder as well how did you do it, you have to press X to pick PS3 Root and then hold X button to access the usb drive

[@MAD-BLOB]

Thanks man . Your the best

[@rottentomatoes5171]

Yesterday rocksmith tracks I didn't have were on pkgi. I was too tired to download. Now today they are missing what happened? Even the guitar hero tracks are not showing up in pkgi. Did something happen to the pkgi store?

[@thisisagtv]

Hey sir, when i launch the game it gives an error code or just a black screen, is there anyway to fix it?

[@ALLXDARE]

When i first did this it worked flawlessly. I replaced my hdd with an ssd, hacked it again, redid this and now none of my games have the buyer listed. Does anyone know a fix for this?

[@johnstone4597]

What happened if you setup the user while the game was downloading?

[@xItzBlizzy-]

Now how do you queue games to download because when I download in the app it wants me to stay on there and I wanna download it In the background

[@ovhsl]

My PS3 says error occurred when trying to install pkgi-ps3.pkg (80029567) can you tell me why? I have multiman installed and play ISO files fine. Nevermind I had to open hen first. Didn't say that but I guess it should've been a given.
