Use at your own risk

REACTPSN 2.0 or 2.2 install for true blue CFW v2 update 2.61 (No previous PSN purchase required the act.date file)

You can install reactPSN straight from 2.61 if you have 2 or more working PS3 usb ports. TB dongle in left port and external USB HD (or stick) always used for reactPSN in right port.
.
1. Install TB CFW v2 and 2.61 update if havent already. (2.51 or lower update for one ps3 usb port only)

2. put your USB Thumb or USB HDD back into your PC or MAC.

3. Download both reActPSN v2.0 or 2.20 (and Rebug Spoofer 4.00 for one ps3 usb port only)

4. Now extract reactPSN v2.0.rar (or 2.20) and drag reactPSN v2.0 pkg to the root of your USB Thumb stick or USB HDD, (do the same for REbug Spoofer.pkg if one port)

5. On the root of your USB Thumb Stick create a folder called exdata. Whenever you get new rap and edat files drag them into this very folder (Every Time) usb:exdata/rap files. Always leave previous rap and edat files in exdata for when you reuse reActPSN v2.0 for newer games downloaded.

6. Now install the reActPSN v2.0 pkg (and Rebug Spoofer if only one ps3 usb port) like any other pkg from usb in furthest PS3 right USB port (but dont run the program(s) created yet)

Steps 7 & 8 one usb ps3 port only. skip to 9 if not.
7. Turn off PS3 and make sure that the True Blue Dongle is removed, Turn on PS3.

8. Run rebug Spoofer and spoof your ps3 (install files and activate spoofer, will reboot each time) check system info in XMB to make sure version is 4.00

9. Run ReActPSN and hold R1 (Some people say Hold Circle instead) during the restart process should only take about 20 seconds. (Holding R1 will make a ReActPSN folder on the base of your usb drive with 2 folders in it "BK0001" and "pubPSN"). Any content you purchased prior to this hack will be backed up in pubPSN folder in the form of rap and edat files (These are the very files needed for us all to activate any shared psn, dlc or psone classic games, THAT YOU OWN. If you had no previous content BK0001 wont be created).

10. Check to see if reactPSN folder was created on USB HD/STICK if not you didnt hold down R1 or USB HD is not in PS3 right port (cant use HUB at this point with one ps3 port)

12. Copy the exdata folder contents in pubPSN to the exdata folder you created on the root of your USB drive.

13. Create a new user account on the PS3 called aa

14. Run reActPSN again *do not push anything this time (it will rename user "aa" to reActPSN v2.0 xrif xedat).

15. When it's finished your PS3 console will automatically restart again (If not restart PS3 manually).

16. You'll notice aa has been renamed to something reActPSN v2.0 xrif xedat. Thats it done.

17. Everytime you want to install new PSN , PSone games or DLC content, just go into reActPSN v2.0 ACCOUNT and rename it to aa (You can do multiple games, dlc, etc at one time, if you have rap and edat files, usb HD needs to be in PS3 right port when doing step 17, 18 & 19)

18. Download, extract rap and edat files (that came with dlc.pkg etc) to exdata folder on the root of your USB Thumb stick or USB HDD

19. Run reActPSN v2.0 (app) again, then install psn game, dlc, or psone classic pkg(s) after reboot.

20. Make sure to keep all previously activated rap and edat files in the exdata folder on Root of USB Thumb stick or HDD for everytime you use reActPSN v2.0 and also for archival purposes.

21. ReactPSN will now work for 2.61 for two or more ports (END two or more ps3 usb port tutorial)
Plug in TB dongle and start ps3, reactPSN will now work for 2.51 and lower for one ps3 port. Continue for 2.61 update with one ps3 usb port.

steps 22 on for one functional ps3 usb port only.
22. Open rebug spoofer (app), and hit L1 + X that un spoofs (console reboots) it then go back to it and hit L1 + O that uninstalls the files (console reboots again)

23. then update to 2.61. system info should read true blue 4.11, 2.61 (or something like that)

24. Run reactPSN (app) again, play game ("reactPSN" USB HD can now be plugged into hub if need be)





RAP2RIF TUTORIAL (NO REACTPSN NEEDED, ACT.DAT NEEDED)
Ok here i wrote/copy pasted this tutorial (I just added the rap2rif stuff and few other things):

mainly for people with only right ps3 port functional and a TB dongle (works with 2.61)
no reactPSN needed (only once for act.dat if needed)

Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/it6x3k (includes: cygwin, idps.pkg, rap2rif, reactPSN)

INSTALL AND SETUP CYGWIN
1) Open downloaded package.
2) Browse to Apps\cygwin setup files.
3) Run "setup.exe".
4) Follow the setup instructions and choose default settings for all setup options excluding install location, Choose C: drive for install location. (You can choose to install somewhere else if you prefer, I only chose C: to make the guide easier to follow)
5) When Cygwin has finished installing, Browse to "c:/cygwin".
6) Double click on "Cygwin.bat" (A command shell will open).
7) Wait for your user name to be displayed then type "exit" in the command shell.
Cygwin is now setup.

1) Open downloaded package.

WARNING NOTE:
-------------------
DO NOT CHANGE ".ps3" OR IT WILL CAUSE ERRORS.

get IDPS
1) Open downloaded package.
2) Browse to Apps.
3) Copy "get_idps.pkg" to the root of the usb device.
4) Plug the usb device into the ps3.
5) Install "get_idps.pkg" via Install Package Files on the XMB menu.
6) Keep the usb device plugged in.
5) Run get_idps, It will dump your idps to the root of the usb.

Note:
-----
The get_idps dump is already in the correct format for Cygwin.
Copy the "idps" dump from your usb device to "c:/cygwin/home/YourUsername/.ps3".

if you dont have the act.dat file (located in dev_hdd0/home/0000000X/exdata on your ps3) you have to use reactPSN once to get a universal one, there are plenty of guides on this. Your "act.dat" file go in "c:/cygwin/home/YourUsername/.ps3/exdata"

put .rap files in "c:/cygwin/home/YourUsername"

open cygwin.bat in c:/cygwin (or wherever you installed it) or the cygwin shortcut on desktop or start menu if you chose to install these

in the cygwin command prompt type: rap2rif [your rap file] [your rap file name with .rif at end instead of.rap] hit enter
example: rap2rif UP1018-BLUS30538_00-BATMANINCSKIN001.rap UP1018-BLUS30538_00-BATMANINCSKIN001.rif

.rif file will be created in "c:/cygwin/home/YourUsername" (same place you put .rap file)

put .rif file on ps3 (via usb hd or FTP) to dev_hdd0/home/0000000X/exdata (where your act.dat file was, if you had one)

install your dlc.pkg on PS3 that corresponds with .rif file just made, that's it.
