How to Make a PKG Patch for a PS3

The PlayStation Network, or PSN, allows you to receive updates for games you play on it. However, to access the PSN, you must have a relatively fast Internet connection as well as a membership in most cases. Therefore, if you don̵7;t have fast Internet service or prefer not to provide the private information needed for a PSN membership, you cannot update your PS3 console or games using conventional means. Using software created by a group of PlayStation enthusiasts, however, you can obtain updates from other users anonymously by creating a package patch file and updating your console manually.
