PS3 should have a PS3 Hacks Guide like the Wii, Wii U, 3DS and Switch

By this point, everything changed from the old methods
and its just a mess at times checking reddit, gbatemp and even the PSX forum still linking to old CFW that are either still asuming the PS3 its on a 6 year old firmwire, or uses obsolete methods that have been replaced long ago

Why not make one then instead of whinging about it and expecting someone else to make it for you?

Hacking a PS3 is relatively very easy and once CFW/HEN is installed, the rest is a piece of cake.

As Mr. Dude said himself, if you're not happy, you could make one.

I'm very pleased with my CFW'd PS3 Slim on 4.90 (probably won't update to 4 91 unless it has some new feature, but when 5.00 is available I'll do it just for the number

).

Actually, the same - or nearly the same - method I've used for my PS3 on Rebug days still do work, only the sites have changed their names due some shady/nasty business from third parties.
Just use the official ps3xploit.me and ps3toolset.com sites, others may lead to interesting, but not that pleasant surprises...

Depends a lot if you want to go online now and then for trophies or whatnot - I run Demon's Souls server emu for me and my mates for example

If online connectivity isn't an issue, no need to update if the CFW works. Seems though that Sony has broken their own FW's lately - 4.89 OFW has some issues with displaying menu on certain resolutions ~~and there are rumours and claims on broken Blu-Ray playback on 4.90 OFW~~.

In general Nat's CFW's are tested very rigorously and even point releases bring in new stuff - some more useful, some not. (I helped on ironing out one bug for one CFW back when - full knowing the risks running beta CFW's though, so I've seen some of the QA side first hand.)

//EDIT Had to test it and no problem with Blu-Rays om my CECHM, EN 4.90

Coro made one for hen on psx-place. as for cfw, things on the ps3 are so damn easy with this one that you don't even really need a guide unless you want a link to installing an official update from the playstation instruction manual.

I actually went to Mr Mario YouTube channel. After reading all the different tutorials. I was sure what was more current. The video is from last month.

Here is the video.
