- Backup: Always back up important saves and data before attempting modifications.

- Install PKG: Use the XMB’s Install Package Files option under Game to install a PKG present on an attached storage device.
- Verify operation: Launch the installed title, check for crashes, graphical issues, or input problems, and consult community threads for tweaks (compatibility flags, patches).
