FPS unlock patches for real PS3 hardware (Custom Firmware required — Artemis optional).
Four ways to apply: Artemis cheats, live PS3MAPI memory edits, pre-patched EBOOTs, or config-file tweaks.
Sourced from the RPCS3 emulator patch database and the PSXPlace community.
New to this? Pick the right method for your situation:
| Your situation | Use this | Section |
|---|---|---|
| I want a tested, plug-and-play patch | Working Artemis Patches/ folder (39 games) |
Confirmed (39) |
| My game isn't in that folder | PSXPlace Confirmed/ folder (101 games) |
Community Confirmed |
| My game isn't in either folder | Full USERLIST/ (2,542 files, mixed confidence) |
About USERLIST |
| I don't want to FTP files | PS3MAPI (apply patches live in browser, ~74 games) | MAPI_PATCHES.md |
| I want the patch permanent, zero setup | Pre-patched EBOOTs / PKGs by Nascar1243 (70 games) | EBOOT_PATCHES.md |
| My game has a config file (Crysis, BBC, etc.) | File-based unlock (no Artemis at all) | File-Based |
The latest release (v2.0) has one zip with two folders:
| Folder in zip | Contents | Use when |
|---|---|---|
Working Artemis Patches/ |
39 games — 100% confirmed on real PS3 | Your game is in the list below |
PSXPlace Confirmed/ |
101 games — confirmed by Joey85 + Nascar1243 + community on real PS3 | Your game isn't in the first folder |
Note
Release zips are snapshots. The folders in this repository are updated daily by the PSXPlace monitor, so they may contain newer games than the latest release. For the freshest files, clone the repo or use Code → Download ZIP.
If your game isn't in either folder, the full USERLIST/ (2,542 files) is available by cloning or downloading the repository. Those files are RPCS3 conversions — not all hardware-verified.
Tip
Some games don't need Artemis at all. Crysis, Condemned 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Shadow of Mordor, Battlefield Bad Company 1/2 and others let you set the FPS cap via a config file. See the File-Based FPS Unlocks section in COMMUNITY_TESTED.md.
Requirements:
- PS3 with Custom Firmware (HEN, Rebug, etc.)
- Artemis PS3 R5 — R5 recommended, R6 may have issues
- webMAN MOD — for FTP access
Steps:
- Connect to your PS3 via FTP
- Navigate to
hdd0/game/ARTZ00001/USRDIR/USERLIST/ - Copy the
.nclfile for your game from the zip - Open Artemis, find your game, enable the FPS patch
- Launch the game, then press PS + Start to attach cheats
Apply patches live via webMAN MOD's browser interface without Artemis. See MAPI_PATCHES.md for the full address list and instructions.
Nascar1243 shares ready-made patched EBOOT.BIN files and update PKGs for 70 games — install once, the FPS patch is permanent. See EBOOT_PATCHES.md for the game list, download link and instructions.
