How to Install GeoHot Jailbreak Peek and Poke for the PS3

Jailbroken PlayStation 3 consoles give you access to the console's core programming, allowing you to add user-generated content and use the PS3 as a standalone computer. Peek and poke firmware can be used in conjunction with a jailbroken PlayStation 3 to create backups of games on your console for later play. After applying the peek and poke patch to your console, you will need to reinstall the Geohot firmware on your console.
