tl;dr: why do i not have an exdata folder? trying to get my act.dat file, but no folder.
ok. so i'm goin to detail what i'm doing, and how i'm doing it, because maybe i'm just approaching this all wrong. so i initially had my ps3 on HFW 4.84 with han, for running delisted games i had acquired after delist (most notably, after burner climax. which was the entire whole reason i even did HFW, was for that one single game) i figure since the big delist is coming, i may as well just update to 4.87 and go CFW since the option is there.
so for starters: i'm not a complete dolt with this stuff. i have an og xbox that i built up with CFW and the entire library installed. same with the WiiU, and i have flashed my PSTV. so i understand how these things work and how to navigate trees and ssh/ftp.
- have installed and flashed to ferrox cobra 4.87
-so i am *assuming* with cfw, i don't even need hen/han. that is for HFW. right? like, is hen even compatible with 4.87?
-i'm *assuming* still yet, to install pkg/rap i still need to use psxresign to resign the rap, even when bypassing hen/han. thus is why i'm trying to get my keys in order. i have the act/idps for 4.84 saved, but i think those need to be updated because i am getting an error when installing my test subject. either they need to be updated, or they are signed with a secondary user i was using 2 years ago.
any help? there is just so much i can glean from youtube and such, but at the end of the day i just want to get some one on one interaction on if i'm in the right ballpark.
thanks.
