How to Repair Bricked PS3 Waninkoko Firmware

With the introduction of Sony PS3 firmware, developers have started creating their own firmware to be used on the PS3. Waninkoko's PS3 firmware offers many of the same features available with other custom ones. The only difference is that it's created by one of the most popular Nintendo Wii independent developers on the scene. If the PS3 is not running properly, commonly known as bricking, the PS3 system can be restored to unbrick the console.
