In 2019, a tool called PS3HEN was released, compatible with any model of PS3, which allows non-CFW compatible consoles to run homebrew with LV2 kernel access. [26] HEN has to be loaded on every reboot albeit this process only takes a few seconds. On release, it was unstable, however as of 2022 it is very stable.
During the HEN setup process, a WebKit exploit is used to install a signed file through the PS3 Web Browser which sets up HEN on the PS3's storage. This adds a shortcut to enable HEN whenever the console is powered on, which leverages additional exploits to grant LV2 kernel/GameOS access.

There is also ODE (Optical Drive Emulator), HAN (etHANol) and HFW (Hybrid Firmware) for the PS3.
