Hey everyone. So I've been playing D1 since Alpha, and I enjoy it.
Now, I usually play on PC or PS4 because there is just more content there and it's easier, but I like to come back to my PS3 and sometimes just RTM for pure fun.
I've been reading/hypothesizing how to play fine on CFW for some time. I left my PS3 alone for almost a year when I kept getting the accounts I played on banned or making your PS3 crash, sometimes requiring a Restore Defaults.
Thanks to user prestonmills we now know that CCAPI is the reason the PS3 crashes and I've tested that myself and can confirm it is true.
Through some testing, I managed to have longer playing sessions, while still using an RTM Tool.
These were the first steps I figured out for playing at first.
Since then, I've had sessions that I played and crashed, and I would just turn my PS3 on, then, using Advanced Power Options, I would do a Hard Reboot and start from step 13 onwards. Most times it worked, sometimes I had to start from step 1.
Getting that out of the way, I want to expand on this thread by talking about banned accounts. There isn't much information just from Googleing this past year that I've been able to use effectively, so I decided to do my testing.
Here are some results so far:
I will try to keep this thread or post updated when I play on my PS3, and if I still find time worthy of playing D1 here.
Thanks for reading all this. If you have played D1 on PS3, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Edit7:
Since I had some time to spare, now that I power-leveled on D2, I decided to jump into D1 to have some fun for a while.
- No Recoil
- Unlimited Ammo
- Unlimited Power

After a long time without revisiting D1 on PS3, I had an urge to play it for a little bit. Now that I'm no longer super busy, I decided to start testing stuff again. I bought Beyond Light last week and I've played it for a little bit. Destiny 2's endgame has become a grind fest, and I don't enjoy it for more than 3 hours.
Edit 12:
Updated the RTM link and edited some grammar stuff.
Edit 19:
So, uh, it's been 4 years. Made some changes to formatting and added a new section for "Black Screen Fix(es)" and "CCAPI Character Select Crash Fix(es)" as well.
I've been doing some heavy stuff on my PC, and my PS4 is currently dead (awaiting repair), so PS3 it was!

- If you have changed your CFW to be on DEX or PEX, check if "Boot Mode" under "Debug Settings" is set to "Release Mode". TMAPI guides always request this to be set to "System Software Mode", but Destiny will not boot, and the console will freeze.
A result of the freeze is that webMan MOD was being uninstalled for me sometimes, as well as me having to "Rebuild Database" or even performing a "System Check", so beware. - WIP
- Returning to XMB (quitting the game) and attempting to relaunch it will crash the console (has happened almost every time for me). The only way for this not happen is to Shutdown the console or perform a Hard Restart with Advanced Power Options. I have not tested Restart Lv2.
- If your game refuses to start and kicks you back to XMB with an error, perform both a "Database Rebuild" and a "System Check". You will probably have to install webMan MOD again for it to show again; the configuration seems to remain intact, though.
Since then, I've had sessions that I played and crashed, and I would just turn my PS3 on, then, using Advanced Power Options, I would do a Hard Reboot and start from step 13 onwards. Most times it worked, sometimes I had to start from step 1.
Getting that out of the way, I want to expand on this thread by talking about banned accounts. There isn't much information just from Googleing this past year that I've been able to use effectively, so I decided to do my testing.
Here are some results so far:
- Account 1: RTM - 1 Hit Kill on Bosses only > Banned LVL 16
- Account 2: RTM - 1 Hit Kill on Bosses only > Banned LVL 15
- Account 3: RTM - Infinite Ammo, Enemies Ignore, No Recoil > Banned LVL 10
- Account 4: NO RTM - CCAPI Still installed > Banned LVL 15
- Account 5: RTM - No Recoil, Infinite Ammo (T), Infinite Power (T)- Used LVL 25 Token > Banned LVL 30 (PvP Only)
- Account 6: NO RTM - NO CCAPI Installed > LVL 16 - Still up as of 9:24 PM Saturday, February 15, 2020 (CST)
Edit1: Account 6 > LVL 20 - as of 9:44 PM Sunday, February 16, 2020 (CST)
Edit2: Account 6 > LVL 25 - as of 4:10 PM Sunday, February 23, 2020 (CST)
Edit3: Account 6 > LVL 29 - as of 5:41 PM Sunday, February 23, 2020 (CST)
Edit4: Account 6 > LVL 32 - as of 10:56 PM Tuesday, March 17, 2020 (CST)
Edit5: Account 6 > LVL 34 - as of 5:33 PM Wednesday, March 18, 2020 (CST)
Edit6: Account 6 > LVL 38 - as of 8:43 PM Sunday, April 12, 2020 (CST)
Edit10: Account 6 > LVL 39 - as of 6:27 PM Sunday, February 14, 2021 (CST)
Edit11: Account 6 > LVL 40 - around mid 2021. PSN account was banned somewhere between my last update and Dec 27th, 2021, no idea if I was banned on Destiny or not. I need another testing account.
I will try to keep this thread or post updated when I play on my PS3, and if I still find time worthy of playing D1 here.
Thanks for reading all this. If you have played D1 on PS3, I would like to hear your thoughts.

- Account 7 > LVL 29 as of 2:00 PM Saturday, June 13, 2020 (CST)
Banned with RTM - Spark used and only PvE. - Account 8 > LVL 31 as if 5:00 PM Saturday, June 13, 2020 (CST)
Banned with RTM - Spark used and did both PvE and PvP (even soloed g(old) Crota just for the sake of it)
- No Recoil
- Unlimited Ammo
- Unlimited Power
Edit8:
- Account 9 > LVL 31 Spark used - PvP Only as of 12:56 AM Saturday, June 20, 2020 (CST)
- No Recoil (T)
- Unlimited Ammo (T)
No bans so far. I did toggle Unlimited Power twice in one match to save it from being lost. Let's see if that gets the hit. - Edit9:
Account 9 > LVL 35 - PvP Only - Banned as of 5:35 PM Thursday, June 25, 2020 (CST). This time the account seems to have lasted longer. I will try not even to tap Unlimited Power for the next test. Doing PvP only on PS3 is a pain, unless you play early in the morning, almost nobody plays after 2 pm (CST), and you have to play only the Weekly and Daily modes unless you want to keep re-queueing for hours.

RTM Enemies Ignore seems to be the safest option. I want to use No Recoil, but seems something gets triggered.
Edit 12:
- Account 11 > LVL 38 - as of 00:12 Wednesday, December 29, 2021 (CST) - Using Inf Ammo and Ignore Enemies. Use boost to 25. Frequent crashes during my play session. We'll see how long it goes.
Edit 13: LVL 40 237LL - as of 10:49 Thursday, December 30, 2021 (CST) - Doing well so far.
Edit 14: 263LL - as of 01:13 Friday, December 31, 2021 (CST) - Still using only Unlimited Ammo and Ignore Enemies. It seems I've hit the jackpot.
Edit 15: 307LL - as of 16:44 Friday, January 7, 2022 (CST). Tested running the game without unloading webMan, let's see if I get hit.
Edit 16: 308LL - The grind has begun, I call this a win. I Will update if banned.
Edit 17: 315LL - Challenge of the Elders is the best with RTM. Still holding on to doing Raids though. - Account 12: Using fake CCAPI for RTM (CCAPI uninstalled) running RTM through MAPI, using every single OP feature.
Edit 16: LVL 28 - as of 23:17 Sunday, January 9, 2022 (CST) - I can't believe it, the MAPI swap worked, and the game has not crashed a single time, even using 1HitKO.
Updated the RTM link and edited some grammar stuff.
Edit 19:
So, uh, it's been 4 years. Made some changes to formatting and added a new section for "Black Screen Fix(es)" and "CCAPI Character Select Crash Fix(es)" as well.
I've been doing some heavy stuff on my PC, and my PS4 is currently dead (awaiting repair), so PS3 it was!
- Since I did some updates on the console, TMAPI is currently broken for me, and I had to use the "CCAPI Character Select Crash Fix(es)" method to play. Also, probably starting a section for "Miscellaneous Issues", I think I encountered before, and encountered again while doing this testing. We'll see.
- Made some formatting changes, and more grammar changes as well.
- Account 12 (?) - I think this is the last account I used, possibly played on 2023 or 2024; I don't recall turning the console on in 2025. Account is already at LVL 40.
This was something I did back in 2020 for the first time, and it still works. However, I did not go all in with all the features of the RTM. Only used NoRecoil, 1HitKill2 (which doesn't seem to do anything, I need to pay more attention), and Enemies Ignore, which continues to be the best feature.
The game will sometimes refuse to keep you in The Tower. I'm unsure currently if this is a Legacy thing or if CCAPI or the RTM makes the game behave this way.
