Kmeaw + gaia + GMAES Help

[fbifido-PSG]

How to get things gooing:

I updated my new ps3 slim CECH-2501A 160GB to 3.55 OFW just out of the box.
then updated to Kmeaw from restore menu as noted in Kmeaw tut on this site.

installed lv2patch v6
installed gaia manager 206
installed snes9x v4.4.4

should i have installed geohot's 3.55 CFW ?

Questions:

1) on this site http://mave.in/ps3/ it shows Wutangrza's CFW & Waninkoko's CFW but no Kmeaw, why is that?, isn't Kmeaw newer/better than the rest?


2) I have my snes roms from the old days, where do i copy then to? what directory?

3) I have 3 blu-ray games, my ps3 lens no longer work, no only dvds/cds work. I have some backup games from a old 60 ps3, it died, anyway my friend put 2 of my games on 16g usb to transfer, all i know is to use gaia with flashfxp and ftp stuff to dev_hdd0. So which dir should i copy these BLxxxx to?

my friend say luan12345 ???????

4) how do i use Auto_MOD_Tool to create a .pkg file for my games?

5) should i del the EBOOT.BIN file from the USRDIR after i transfer to ps3?

6) what should be in the BLxxxx directory? eg:
----|BLUS30518
------------| LICDIR
------------------| LIC.DAT
------------| TROPDIR
------------| USRDIR
-------------------| data
-------------------| fmod
-------------------| fmv
-------------------| EBOOT.BIN
------------| ICON0.PNG
------------| PARAM.SFO

should i have installed geohot's 3.55 CFW? No, kmeaw's cfw only is all that's needed

Kmeaw's is the newest, safest, and supported by all dev's. Also, kmeaw's is built on wutangrza's cfw, with the install packages and app_home folders (which wutang's doesn't have). It also removes the signatures required by all the other firmwares, allowing you to install non signed or debug signed packages.


2) I have my snes roms from the old days, where do i copy then to? what directory?

Wherever you want. SNES9x askes you what directory the roms are in, and lets you set a permanemt "look here first" directory of your choice from the settings screen.

Where you store them to depends on your boot manager. I recommend using dev_hdd0\GAMES, not laun12345. I personally use multiman, which checks many folders, not just one. Also, the auto mod tool and modified eboot files (as well as not updating games) are not required with boot managers on kmeaw's cfw. You would simply click the game, select no to direct boot, then select app_home on the xmb after the boot manager closes.
