Custom package (PKG) files for the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) can be used after the introduction of custom firmware on the PS3. Package files are often applications or games. After they are installed onto the PS3, an icon that directs the user to the application appears on the PS3 menu; selecting the icon will start the application. If you are a developer and have all of the raw files needed to build a PKG, this is how you can complete the process.
Step 1
Download and install PS3 Package GUI and Microsoft's .NET Framework. The PKG builder cannot work without .NET Framework.
