Jamal learned: PKGi won't create its own config folder, and a missing config.txt makes it silently crash. Once those two things were fixed, downloads worked flawlessly.

A: This is a category issue. In PKGi, ensure you are downloading "Game" not "Update." After install, look in the "Game" column of XMB, not "PlayStation Network."

If your list won't refresh or downloads hang, it's often a network or database issue.

You must place your config.txt and pkgi.txt (which contains the database links) in the following directory using a file manager like multiman or an FTP client: dev_hdd0/game/PKGI00000/USRDIR/

: Ensure you have an exdata folder located at the root of your USB drive ( dev_usb000/exdata/ ) or on your internal hard drive ( dev_hdd0/exdata/ ). PKGi will write the downloaded activation keys directly to this directory to unlock your content. 4. Fix PKGi Freezing or Crashing the PS3
