You need a USB stick create a folder named -> PS3/another folder named ->UPDATE <- Copy OFW 355 from your pc inside that folder .Then go in recover menu & do the firmware/system update update with OFW 355 through there..

When yous ps3 is off, hold button down till it turns on then off .Then hold button down again till you hear beep then another 2 beeps then let go on the next & you should be in recovery menu..

Check out the new showtime homebrew app for mkv...

sigh... the files seem to have been taken down from all the download links. I'm going through that giant thread but there's no sign of fresher links (so far). I'm surprised these files weren't just torrented to begin with.

I'm a little skeptical of showtime, as it's reinventing the wheel and apparently a little buggy. Is there any way to add .MKV support to the built-in player?

I honestly do not think so .I know what you mean about showtime being buggy .You do know there was just a new release for showtime ,you might want to try it out .Just search google for the source site .or search here on ps3hax to get the source .I am using a certain version from the early stages & it plays level .? 4 & 5 BluRay for me . personally i rip my own to many different formats ,letterbox ,fullscreen crop some .

I convert all MKV to .m4v or MP4 ..The PS3 player plays them just fine & it does not take to long to convert them .I don't use BD discs ,i like to convert them cause the take up way to much space .. On BluRay i still keep 10+ quality ..

Showtime used to be buggy playing mkv files, but ever since it's been included with multiman and I've been keeping it updated, it plays mkv files great on my slim. It has Kmeaw 3.55.

Hi again, folks.

So, I've got all my files downloaded. I used this guide http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=26677 except I grabbed the latest version of MM 2.09.

I verified the kmeaw with MD5, but there seems to be no list of hashes for the other software. (that would be a really useful thing to have on this site - a list of all the available software and verified hashes for each version and file).

SO! I have one question. Some of the software archives contain multiple packages for CFW versions. For example, with showtime 3.44 I have a choice of 3.41 and 3.55-geohot. I'm assuming that I'd use the 3.55 one, except that I'm using kmeaw and not geohot's CFW.

Yea always use the 3.55 versions if you're on CFW 3.55.

The version you need to download is the 3rd one down here:

Thanks to the help here, I've had the kmeaw + multiman up and running for a few weeks, and have been able to do some interesting stuff with it.

Showtime is proving to be less than ready for.... show-time. The UI is a bit glitchy and some media that I try to play is unwatchable. And there seems to be no way to exit the application. What would be my next choice in a media player?
