Thank you for your help! With you and the YouTube guides I installed CFW and turned my 2010-purchased ps3 21×× model, which I hadn't used in over 10 years into a beast. I got it as a birthday present when i turned 9 and only played lego versions of franchises (Peak series btw - Lego Starwars the complete saga will always have a special place in my heart) and the SPORTS because I have camera (PSMOVE). I never played any of the mainstream classics, on this or any other console or PC, so for me this is a new start from scratch into the gaming world. Due to the length of this post if you want to reply to a specific question I urge you to reply starting with the Q1, Q2 etc (for example Q3-Reply: blah blah blah..), any other comments you have simply comment!

The Apps I have downloaded are:

-Irisman
-PSX/PS2/PSP Launchers 
-Multiman
-Webman 
-PKGi

I use PKGi for in console downloading and pc websites&Irisman for any game that's is not in the PKGi library 

Game wise I have downloaded:

-Dark Souls
-Ico & Shadow of the Colossus 
-LittleBigPlanet
-Gran Turismo 5
-The Last of Us

My HDD memory is already full😅, I'm thinking of buying a 1T SSD and replacing the HDD. Also I'm thinking of buying some thermal paste and replacing it I can overclock it more safely.

QUESTION SECTION; Things I want to do and still haven't figured out how are:

Q1-How to connect a jbl speaker/ headphones (obviously I have connected them and set it as the output source but that doesn't work). Most sources say it can't be done but I saw a comment from a reddit post that said that you can override the problem with CFW, but didn't have any more details and I haven't figured it out yet.

Q2-How to connect a PS4 controller and make the home button work. I read that it's a common problem for anyone connecting a PS4 controller to PS3. I found a Bluetooth dongle to buy and connect that supposedly works but it's not worth the money. I'm thinking of just buying a PS3 controller. Do you know any good alternatives for PS3 sixaxis controller that are fully compatible?

Q3-What games would you suggest, give me your favorite picks (I have red dead redemption in my list, and I like puzzle games like LBP and Heavy Rain). What are the best PSMOVE games?

Q4-What other Mods would you suggest for the PS3? 

Additional Question:

QVITA-I have a psvita 1000 (unmodded for the time being) if I connect it to the CFW PS3 for remote play do I risk it getting brickblocked? If not can I remote play games I downloaded as well? If I do mod the psvita will I be able to remote play?


AGAIN THANK YOU for all the help. If anyone is trying to do this and has questions about any steps or anything in general feel free to ask!!
