PlayStation 3 developer Evilnat (aka nathanr3269) released a tool set called PS3 PUP/Dev_Flash File Spoofer v3 Tool. This tool set allows one to spoof the necessary files from dev_flash and the PlayStation update file. Today he has made an addition to this tool set which repacks the spoofed PUP file which you can install on your PS3.
I upgraded my app with spoofer_pup_repack.exe. It does everything like spoofer_pup.exe but recreate a new PUP file with spoofed files for install to your PS3. Remember, put your PS3UPDAT.PUP file and put this in command line of Cygwin (you can choose your version and image version):
./spoofer_pup_repack.exe 06.4000 99999
It must have the same number of digits ALWAYS, if not it gives you error on your PS3.
./spoofer_pup_repack.exe 09.4000 12345 --> OK!
./spoofer_pup_repack.exe 06.4500 88888 --> OK!
./spoofer_pup_repack.exe 09.4000 1234 --> WRONG!
./spoofer_pup_repack.exe 09.40 12345 --> WRONG!
When it finished without errors you will see a PUP file named PS3UPDAT_SPOOFED.PUP, simply rename to PS3UPDAT.PUP and install it in your PS3
Enjoy
Please if you see bugs or something wrong contact me for fix it.
A psx-scene Shaitan has released a method were you can change firmwares without the need of a USB pen drive. With this method, that requires QA Flag, you are able to store various custom firmwares on your hard drive and select which one to install via the System Update -> Update via Hard Disk option.
Use QA Flag Extra since most firmwares can not enable "System Update Debug".
Enable QA Flag Extra and go to the debug settings and enable "System Update Debug"
Use Multiman's file manager(or other) and create a folder in /dev_hdd0 called "updater", so it's /dev_hdd0/updater/
Create folders in that directory for the firmwares called 01, 02, 03, ect. (Dont miss a number or it will error).
Copy whichever PS3UPDAT.PUP into one of those folders and........
Rename it to whatever you want, you dont even need the .PUP at the end.
Go to System Update then Update via Hard Disk
PS3 developer deank has compiled the latest release of Showtime Media Player, by Andreas Öman, to be used within multiMAN.
Save the downloaded file as: /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/SHOWTIME.SELF
Added: XMB videos and last folder visible in Showtime
Added: Return to multiMAN when using the EXIT icon in to top right corner of main Showtime Interface
Since version 02.05.00 of multiMAN you can update your SHOWTIME within multiMAN, by going to XMMB Video tab -> Press [TRIANGLE] while "Start Showtime" is selected -> Update.
You can also update your showtime.self by deleting it from multiMAN's USRDIR folder and play a video - you'll be prompted to download the updated version. Be advised that in multiMAN versions 04.00.00+ SHOWTIME.SELF is located under USRDIR/sys folder.
A developer over at Tortuga Cove has optimized a tutorial created by RazorX for using Open PS2 Loader on non-backward compatible PlayStation 3's. The developer, Coveman, has managed to get PS2 games running on his slim PS3. Please note that the Cobra dongle is required.
I was a bit bored today, so I decided to optimize your tutorial a bit.
You don't need SWAP MAGIC
You don't need any optical disc at all in your PS3
Works on PS3 non-BC (tested on my SLIM)
I created an "Open PS2 Loader" ISO file, so you can just load it from Cobra Manager or multiMAN.
Just extract the .rar and transfer it to your internal HDD to /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO
I included the cover so you can either put it in /covers_retro/psx/SLES_806.08_COV.JPG or rename it to "Open PS2 Loader.jpg" and put it along side the ISO in PS2ISO folder.

A Quote from respected PS3 developer Dean creator of multiMAN: (See attached image.)
Don't fall for such cheap announcements. Sadly this is not even a CLONE of multiMAN, but just a theme applied - poorly designed background with the site name and other useless information.
Take a good look at the pictures in the first post and you'll see the PHOTOSHOP at work: added "Load PSX/PS1", "Load PSX/PS2" (WTF?), "Load PSX/PSP", "test", the misspelled "creat iso", "create bin". What does "Load PSX/PS1" even mean? Then, the red letters after "Start Game from Disc" "PS1/PS2/PS3"...
The PS3 scene has had so many up's and down's with respected developers either falling prey to Sony's suing or loosing interest in the scene itself not to mention the false hope from the many fake stories. This may as well fall into the latter. Original Source: psx-scene.ir

About a week ago I received this email, detailing how to boot and play PS1/PSX backups using multiMAN. At the time I thought it was common sense, but now, I guess not... As I'm seeing this method posted across several scene sites I figure I'll fill ya in too. It's actually extremely easy. So lets get to it:
What you need:
A hacked PS3 running 3.55 (CFW) or 3.41 (w/ jailbreak dongle)
multiMAN 02.07.00 or later
A burned PS1/PSOne/PSX backup
Steps:
Boot your PS3
Insert your PS1 backup
Start up multiMAN
Enter file manager mode
Browse to /dev_flash/ps1emu
Press X on ps1_emu.self
And if that crashes try ps1_netemu.self.
Now grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy them crusty lookin' PS1 games all over again.
Also you should know Deank has released a new version of multiMAN, which will recognize your burned backups and can be directly launched from the XMMB game column.
Get your Cobra and get updated... The crew behind Cobra USB -- the popular 3.41/3.55 jailbreak dongle -- just released firmware version 3.2. It packs some worthwhile updates, namely when it comes to jamming PS2 titles.
Cobra Firmware v3.2
Added support for PS2 optical disc (CD-R/DVD+-R) backups
PS2 original games are now region free.
Fixed a bug that caused incompatibility with several PS2 backups in ISO format.
Fixed some remaining PAL/NTSC problems for PSX games.
Cobra USB Manager will now output a mds file too when dumping a dual layer DVD or PS2-DVD. This file is not used by Cobra at all, but it can be used for burning a dual layer DVD+-R while keeping the original layer structure intact. This is mandatory when burning dual layer PS2 DVD's.
You can download the latest Cobra firmware via the source. cobra-usb.com
