How to Replace PKG Instead of Eboot.Bin

Custom firmware can give you the ability to play PS3 games from the internal hard drive of the PS3. Some games may require a higher firmware than your custom firmware provides. The game will not work without replacing the eboot file in which the game was installed. Instead of using a file browser to find the eboot, you can install a PKG file that replaces the eboot file automatically.

Things You'll Need

  Insert the USB flash drive into your computer' USB slot and double-click the flash drive icon that comes up on your computer's desktop.
