Uploading files to GoldHen is a simple and straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily transfer files between your computer and your PS3, making it easy to install games, homebrew applications, and other content.
To begin, you will need to have a USB drive formatted in FAT32. Once you have formatted your USB drive, you can create a folder on the drive named “GAMES”. This folder will be used to store the files that you want to upload to your PS3.
Next, you will need to download the GoldHen package from the official website. Once you have downloaded the GoldHen package, you can extract the contents of the package to your USB drive. The GoldHen package will include a file named “goldhen.bin”. This file is the GoldHen payload that will be used to load the GoldHen exploit on your PS3.
Navigating GoldHEN’s User Interface
GoldHEN presents a user-friendly interface that is designed for ease of use and quick navigation. When the payload is enabled, you’re greeted with the main menu, which features various options and settings. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the main menu:

Identifying the File Manager Module
The heart of file management in Goldhen is a module called “File Manager.” This module provides a user-friendly interface to navigate, view, and manipulate files and folders stored on your PS3’s internal hard drive or external USB devices.
Accessing the File Manager Module
To access the File Manager, you need to first enable the Goldhen exploit. Once enabled, navigate to the Game menu on your PS3’s XMB dashboard. Select “Install Packages Files,” then choose “Install from USB” or “Install from Internal.” Locate the file “goldHEN_installer.pkg” on your USB drive or internal hard drive and install it. After installation, restart your PS3.
Navigating the File Manager Interface
Once Goldhen is installed, you can launch the File Manager from the Game menu. The interface presents a dual-pane view: the left pane displays the file system hierarchy, and the right pane shows the contents of the currently selected folder.
The File Manager provides a range of tools for file manipulation, including copy, paste, delete, create, and rename. To select a file or folder, simply use the D-pad or analog sticks. You can use the triangle button to open the context menu, which provides additional options such as viewing file details, changing permissions, or extracting archives.
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| D-pad/Analog Sticks | Navigate file system hierarchy |
| Triangle | Open context menu |
| L1/R1 | Switch between left and right panes |
| Square | Select multiple files |
| X | Copy/Paste/Delete/Create |
Connecting to a Network Storage Device
To connect to a network storage device, you will need to follow these steps:
- First, you will need to make sure that your network storage device is properly connected to your network. This will typically involve connecting the device to your router using an Ethernet cable.
- Once your network storage device is connected to your network, you will need to find its IP address. You can typically find the IP address of your network storage device by logging into the device’s web interface or by using a utility such as Fing.
- Once you have found the IP address of your network storage device, you can use any FTP client to connect to the device. Some popular FTP clients include FileZilla, WinSCP, and Cyberduck. When connecting to your network storage device using an FTP client, you will need to enter the following information:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Host | The IP address of your network storage device |
| Username | The username for your network storage device |
| Password | The password for your network storage device |
| Port | The port number for your network storage device (typically 21) |
Once you have entered this information, you should be able to connect to your network storage device and browse its files.
Locating and Selecting the Desired Files
Once you have successfully installed Goldhen, you can begin uploading files to your PS4. The first step involves locating the files you wish to upload. These files can be located on your computer, a USB drive, or an external hard drive. Ensure that the files are in a compatible format for Goldhen and that you have the necessary permissions to access them.
After locating the desired files, you need to select them for upload. You can select multiple files at once by holding down the “Ctrl” key (Windows) or the “Command” key (Mac) while clicking on the files. Alternatively, you can use the “Select All” option to select all the files in a given folder.
Preparing the Files for Upload
Before uploading the selected files, you may need to prepare them to ensure compatibility with Goldhen. This may involve compressing the files into a ZIP or RAR archive, renaming them with appropriate file extensions, or converting them to a specific format. Refer to the Goldhen documentation or online resources for specific guidelines on file preparation.
Once the files are properly prepared, you can proceed to the next step of the upload process.
