v2.0 — Four-method toolkit + hardened monitor

FPS unlock patches for real PS3 hardware (Custom Firmware required — Artemis optional).

What's in the download

PS3-FPS-Patches-v2.0.zip contains two ready-to-use folders:

Folder	Games	Confidence
Working Artemis Patches/	39	100% confirmed on real PS3
PSXPlace Confirmed/	87	Confirmed by Joey85 + Nascar1243 + community on real PS3

Copy the .ncl for your game to hdd0/game/ARTZ00001/USRDIR/USERLIST/, then enable it in Artemis PS3 R5. Full instructions in the README.

The full USERLIST/ (2,542 files, mixed confidence) and all docs live in the repo — clone or Code → Download ZIP for everything.

New since v1.1 — four ways to apply patches

• Artemis .ncl cheats (the classic method)
• PS3MAPI — apply patches live in your browser via webMAN MOD, no file transfer (MAPI_PATCHES.md, ~74 games)
• Pre-patched EBOOTs / update PKGs by Nascar1243 — install once, patch is permanent (EBOOT_PATCHES.md, 70 games)
• Config-file tweaks — some games need no Artemis at all (COMMUNITY_TESTED.md)

Under the hood

• Daily PSXPlace monitor now treats Joey85's first-post catalog as the source of truth; reply-post conflicts are flagged for review instead of overwriting verified patches
• Confirmed patches now sync into USERLIST/ too, not just PSXPlace Confirmed/
• Monitor fails loudly (email alert) on Cloudflare blocks / layout changes, with automatic retries on transient blocks
• PSXPlace Confirmed/ grew from 62 to 87 games

Full details in CHANGELOG.md.

What changed in v1.2 (this update)

Bug fixes based on Nascar1243's real-hardware testing:

• Deadpool — removed problematic address 007B2238 that caused 30↔60 FPS oscillation. Kept the working 7-address patch.
• Lollipop Chainsaw (US BLUS30917) — now has the confirmed Nascar1243 patch 008F8908 28030001 (single address; max 58 FPS due to UE3 engine cap).
• Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (US BCUS99245) — added confirmed Nascar1243 single-address patch 0069A550 38A00001 (Joey85's 2-address EU patch already worked, but US needed its own).
• Killer Is Dead — removed duplicate cheat entry (identical addresses to existing entry).
• Killzone 3 — removed redundant Debug Menu (RPCS3) (already covered by Debug Options [Tested] with same addresses).

Documentation accuracy:

• Removed Title IDs from "confirmed" tables that had no matching .ncl file in the repo (Dead Space 2 BLUS30717, Mirror's Edge BLUS30179).
• Fixed bad Title ID BLUS03702 (5-digit typo) in MAPI_PATCHES.md for GTA IV.
• New "Start here" section in README so newcomers can pick the right method quickly.

How to use

Requirements:

• PS3 with Custom Firmware (HEN, Rebug, etc.)
• Artemis PS3 R5 (R5 recommended; R6 may have issues)
• webMAN MOD — for FTP access and the in-game FPS counter overlay
• An FTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP, or webMAN's built-in)

Steps:

1. Download Confirmed-Patches-v1.2.zip below and extract it.
2. Connect to your PS3 via FTP.
3. Navigate to hdd0/game/ARTZ00001/USRDIR/USERLIST/.
4. Copy the .ncl file for your game from either folder. (If your game appears in both, use Working Artemis Patches/ first.)
5. Open Artemis, find your game in the list, enable the FPS patch.
6. Launch the game, then press PS + Start to attach the cheats.

Tip: If your game isn't in either folder, the full USERLIST/ (2,542 files) is available in the repo. Those are RPCS3 conversions — high confidence but not all hardware-verified. Use them carefully and report your results.

---

Alternative method — PS3MAPI (no Artemis needed)

Apply patches live in your browser via webMAN MOD's PS3MAPI tab. See MAPI_PATCHES.md for the full list.

Some games don't need patches at all

Crysis 1/2/3, Condemned 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Shadow of Mordor, Battlefield Bad Company 1/2, and Syndicate let you set FPS via a config file. See COMMUNITY_TESTED.md → File-Based section.
