DISCLAIMER |
---|
You need to have any-CFW(Rebug, Ferrox etc.) custom firmware to run RetroArch on your PlayStation 3. Hardware or software changes on your device may damage your device. |
Prerequisites¶
This is probably the most straightforward way to install RetroArch.
- FAT32 formatted USB, It should be partitioned as MBR rather than GPT.
- any-CFW
Downloading and installing¶
There are multiple ways of downloading RetroArch for your Playstation 3.
Download the correct file¶
There are two types of CFW files. One of them is CEX
and the other is DEX
. CFW devices with CEX
systems are more specific to the end user. On the other hand the DEX
version is more for developers. You can use RetroArch in two ways and benefit from the same features. Always check which version of your CFW you have and download the correct file.
You can find a bundle with RetroArch, all the cores and all the assets for CEX
and DEX
by clicking here and scroll down to the PlayStation 3 section.
Installing¶
Installation is also very simple. Just extract the archive to the root of your USB. Put your USB to right USB port. Use the CFW package installer to select and install RetroArch's pkg file. You can watch the short video Demonstration by clicking on the image below.
