Installing KB-RPCS3

Alpha 0.1.0 has no downloadable build. These steps are for a build you made yourself from source (BUILDING.md), for your own use. Do not share builds: see LICENSING_STATUS.md.

What the console needs

KB-RPCS3 was developed and tested with this setup. Other firmware versions or tools may work but are untested.

Requirement	Used during development
Jailbroken PS5	PS5 Slim, firmware 13.60
Homebrew enabler	etaHEN (FTP server on port 1337, ELF loader on port 9021)
Kernel extension	kstuff lite, loaded once per console boot (loading it twice crashed the console)
Folder-title loader	ShadowMountPlus: registers titles in /data/homebrew/ on the home screen
Your own PS3 system software	PS3UPDAT.PUP, from Sony's PS3 update page
Your own games	PS3 discs as .iso or folders; PSN games as .pkg + .rap

KB-RPCS3 does not include any of these.

Install a build

1. Copy your built dist/PPSA99303/ folder to the console as /data/homebrew/PPSA99303/ (for example with an FTP client connected to etaHEN's FTP server).
2. Wait for ShadowMountPlus to register it. KB-RPCS3 appears on the PS5 home screen. If it doesn't, restart the console.
3. Start KB-RPCS3. Put PS3UPDAT.PUP in /data/homebrew/PPSA99303/rpcs3/, then use Install → PS3 firmware.
4. Add games to /data/homebrew/PPSA99303/rpcs3/:
   • disc games: games/ (an .iso file or a game folder);
   • PSN games: the .pkg files in packages/ and the .rap licence files in exdata/, then Install → Packages.
5. Pick a game on the Games tab and press Cross. Hold the touch pad for 2 seconds to leave a game.

Normal game speed

Per-game settings are stored in rpcs3/custom_configs/. Normal play needs Clocks scale: 100 and Frame limit: Auto. Other values change how fast games run.

Update or remove

• Update: close KB-RPCS3, then replace the files in /data/homebrew/PPSA99303/. Keep the rpcs3/ folder to keep your settings, games and saves.
• Remove: delete the KB-RPCS3 icon on the home screen (Options → Delete), then delete /data/homebrew/PPSA99303/. This also deletes your games and saves inside it.
