I haven't looked into it in a while, but it used to be one of those things where you had to be lucky enough to have a certain firmware.

For custom firmware you need either a phat or some of the early slims, but you can do pretty much everything you'd want to do with hybrid firmware, which can be done in any model.

I used to have a phat PS3 and for years I told people that I was gonna install Linux on it and turn it into an arcade setup. Then when I finally had the inclination to follow through on it, I found out that it had been given away by my mom while I was living in Japan.

Neat. Might have to bust out the ol' PS TRIPLE

Got a phat TRIPLE in storage. Do I need a burner or is there a way to just HDD that shit?

The easiest method only requires you to open up a website in the browser, then install the hybrid firmware from a flashdrive. You also need a controller that works on the safe mode menu (like a real PS3 controller). I usually follow this guy's videos. He keeps them updated and hasn't steered me wrong on the triple, 360, OG Xbox and Vita

I modded my slim in a few minutes its pretty easy now if you have the right model. Basically installs the software via a browser in a few minutes.
