v3 HAN Tools: A Collection of Tools Targetting 3000/4000 Series Slim/Superslim To Allow OFW Package Manager and More

PS3Xploit Tools v3.1.0

4.89+ DISCLAIMER: There will be XMB artifacts and alignment issues on some items and menus. This is due to the DEX version of explore_plugin.sprx being needed for package manager to work properly. There is currently no fix for this, without having a 4.89+ DEX file for replacement. It is advised to install the HAN_489_Fix_272p_480p_Resolutions_signed.pkg which is the same fix that PS3HEN uses, from sandungas.
