How to Get Homebrew on PS3 3.50

There are a couple of key hacker-community terms that you should get familiar with if you are considering doing any alteration to your PS3 3.50. These terms are "softmod" and "homebrew." Softmodding refers to any modification made to your PS3's basic operating system and homebrew refers to any customized programming designed for use on your softmodded system, like a gaming emulator that allows you to play games from another gaming system. The process of getting a homebrew onto your PS3 3.50 system is fairly straightforward.
