You are probably wondering what Custom Firmware is and why bother installing it.
The point of softmodding your playstation 3 is to allow unauthorized software to run on it.
Here are some of the many things you can do with your playstation once its softmodded:
- Play backups of PS3 / PS2 / PSX / PSP / Blu-Rays / DVDs natively and region free.
- Emulate retro games with RetroArch or stand-alone emulators.
- Rip PS3 / PS2 / PSX / BluRay / DVD discs to your hard drive.
- Mod games offline or on PSN.
- Convert your console to developer firmware (DEX).
- Play games stored on an external drive, or even one stored elsewhere on your network.
- Use *NIX operating systems.
- Use the console to it's full extent with a broken Blu-Ray drive.
- Use custom devices, such as an Xbox 360 gamepad, as controllers with PS3XPAD.
- Install Movian, a Media Center application in which you can download plugins such as TV channels and Torrent Streamers.
- Install homebrew games and apps.
- And much more!
