We will show you how to make your own (windows). Just make sure you know the source of the prepatched PUP and the MD5/SHA1 match up. Due to legal reasons we will not link the prepatched PUP in this tutorial, but you are free to “google” it. You can either make your OWN patched CFW or download a prepatched one.

This guide will teach you how to install kmeaw CFW, how to enable the use of backup managers and play backed up (legal) games/homebrew and connect to PSN. So if something went wrong, you didn’t follow the directions below. Please note that the Waninkoko has a high rate of PS3 bricking so it is not recommended, where as the Wutangrza CFW or kmeaw CFW (what this guide will cover), almost no reports of bricked PS3′s have been reported. They are Geohots, Wutangrza, Waninkoko and kmeaw CFW feel free to read more about each one and learn about them before contuning with this guide. Please understand that there are 3 different main CFW floating around right now. Now to lay out a few ground rules before I go on with this tutorial. With the latest developments on the PS3 scene, it seems that Wutangrza has finally managed to get backups to run on PS3 fw 3.55 with his CFW (custom firmware). You can use a PSN alternative known as XLink-Kai.
There currently is now way to bypass PSN. This hack is now patched on future firmware versions and no way to go back.
