PS3 Connected to PC via Ethernet (if no RPCS3)
Debug Converted EBOOT

Skip this if you are using RPCS3.

Ensure that in Rebug Toolbox:

Ensure that in Debug Settings (XMB):

Warning

Start Target Manager.
Right click My Targets, click Add Target.
Put whatever in Name, select Debugging Station, press Next.
In IP address or host name, put the IP of the PS3, then Next again, then Finish.
