How to - psfreedom softmod using Nokia N900 for the PS3

Another post in the same thread has much shorter instructions which is not so needlessly complicated. You'll need a N900, and PS3 with the latest firmware update installed. I tried these steps and it worked. Thought It doesn't really do much except backing up a few games and running them from the hard disk without having to have the Disk inserted all the time. I hope this can eventually bring back the OtherOS option sometime in the future.

Open xTerminal in your n900 and enter the following: [brackets are comments, do not enter]

sudo su [default password is: rootme]
cd /root
mkdir psfreedom && cd psfreedom
wget http://xceleo.org/psfreedom.tar.gz
tar xvzf *.tar.gz && rm *.tar.gz [this is a delete command, so be careful to type correctly and that you are in the psfreedom folder]
chmod 755 *.sh && chomd 444 *.ko
./psfreedom-enable.sh

Turn PS3 power off (unplug the slim or the I/O switch on fat PS3), plug in your N900 via USB, and unplug any other device. Turn power back on, press the power button with one hand, press and hold the eject button with the other within less than a second ( around 200ms ). Hold eject button until the menu appears. if it worked, under the games section you get two new folders. If the driver is running on the N900 you will see a warning message saying insufficient power while the PS3 boots.

Unplug the N900 and in the same Xteminal run the following so it can function like a normal USB device again:

./psfreedom-disable.sh

Copy this file to a flash drive or a USB external hard drive:

now plug it to the PS3, and install it via Package Installation under the Games menu. When running it, answer No no to update, and Yes to the next message displayed.
