Description[edit]
PUP (Playstation Update Package) files are packages which contain the files used to update a PSP or PS3 system. There are 2 different types: patches (PS3PATCH.PUP) and full updates (PS3UPDAT.PUP). Based on the model, there are 4 different release types: Retail/CEX, Shop/SEX, Debug/DEX and Tool/DECR. Within the Retail/CEX there are 2 file versions: 1 is a PUP with a normal file length which also gets released online. The other PUP file version is the same, except it is zero-filled after the normal PUP content to a fixed filelength of 256MB, which gets released on Gamedisks (if gamecreators build their project to a premaster and give it to Sony for signing, they just use a placeholder of a 256MB PS3UPDAT.PUP which contains no firmwaredata at all - it is completely zerofilled. Sony decides the firmware that gets on the disk and for which firmware the 'Gold' code is signed and mastered).
Regioning[edit]
Update Ps Vita From Pc
There is no regioning in the .PUP files, they are the same for all different regions (if you were looking for regioninfo, see here).
The PS3 however gets the ps3-updatelist.txt from different servers, depending on the region of that model (last 2 numbers in the CECHxxXX SKU name).
- Japan, jp (00 > 0x83)
- USA, us (01 > 0x84)

Installation[edit]
To install firmware via USB Mass Storage Devices (e.g. USB-stick, Memory Stick, SD-card, Compact Flash with at least 256MB free), place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file in the following folder structure: /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update location for Kiosk is the same as Retail/CEX.
- The update location for disc media (CD, DVD, BD-ROM) is /PS3_UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update data for Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%targetupdaterref-toolPS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx
- The update data for Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%targetupdaterdebugging_stationPS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx.forDEX.release.yyyymmdd
- For updating with a single firmware PUP, both the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) and Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) use the same folder structure as Retail/CEX : /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- For updating with a multiple firmware PUP (2.50 or later), the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) can use the folder structure : /PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH with a maximum of 2 sublevels deeper (e.g. PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH/ReferenceTool/250/PS3UPDAT.PUP.242.001). A maximum of 20 PUP files (including /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP if applicable) will be shown in the firmware list.
- The update location for Arcade is '/dev_hdd0/game/SCEEXE000/ARCDIR/PS3UPDAT.PUP'
- The update location in Factory Service Mode (used for downgrader and remarry) is /PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update location for QA Debug setting : System Update Debug=ON is /dev_hdd0/updater/01/PS3UPDAT.PUP, /dev_hdd0/updater/02/PS3UPDAT.PUP, etc.. (or up to 20 updates together with any name and no file extension required in /dev_hdd0/updater/01/)
Problem solving / tips[edit]
- Don’t use any USB Mass Storage Device with enhanced functions as: encryption, fingerprintreader, U3, pincode etc. (sometimes marketed under names as SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) thus needing drivers and only working under Windows)
- Don’t use USB Mass Storage Devices with a long initialisation time (e.g. some MP3 players)
- Don’t use multipartitioned USB Mass Storage Devices, only use 1 single primary FAT32 partition.
- Make sure they are formatted according to specifications with FAT32 (e.g. HP USB Format Tool – or TOKIWA / Ridgecrop FAT32 formatter)
- If the stick is formatted FAT32 and still not working, consider other stick or use this tool: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/
- Most USB Mass Storage Devices that’ll work effortless with PenDrive Linux, will also work with the PS3 (for downgrading, upgrading, storage of your Game dumps and any normal filestorage under the XMB). Those USB Mass Storage Devices are most likely also the ones giving you the least problems under more exotic platforms like PSX/PSone, PS2/PStwo, Xbox/X360, Gamecube/Wii/WiiU etc.
- Make sure no disc is inside the drive otherwise it will try to install that one instead of the one on USB Mass Storage Device!
- Make sure the media is not readonly (e.g. SDcard or USB Stick with readonly tab) if using firmwares when doing one of the following:
- Factory Service Mode reinstallation
- Remarry BDdrive
- RSOD Fix
- or any process that needs to write a log file, in short, write access
Installation descriptive[edit]
- Select via XMB, Settings -> System Update
- Select Update via Storage Media
- Select OK
- Select right arrow or left joystick right
- Select right arrow or left joystick right
- msg_updater_10 - msg_updater_60 tested to work. they appear one after another in the same manner as the EULA.
- Could list each feature as a seperate msg_updater_X
- Select start to install
