Thinking about snagging an old fat PS3 with a broken BD drive. For CFW game loading a bluray drive isn't necessary at all right? Or will I come into complications later on or what?

Thinking about snagging an old fat PS3 with a broken BD drive. For CFW game loading a bluray drive isn't necessary at all right? Or will I come into complications later on or what?
I made this for myself awhile ago, but for anyone that cares..
This is to the US version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The one that was released by Riku.kh3 is actually for the EU version of the game, and although that one will work for the US version with some editing, you'll have to rename your savegame folder if you want any of your current saves to work. Mine is the overall cleaner approach. (This is also pre-patched to v1.01 of the game, for convenience.)Code:http://www.mediafire.com/?utu4mvhy4t8a0mn

Oh how I enjoyed reading that :).
Too lazy to fully read it, how about placing it in short.
Mostly it's pointing out how stupid Geohot is, there is also some stuff about Sony possibly being able to block stuff with the newest firmware.Quote:

They should just focus on increasing compatibility with the backup managers since compatibility is much better for them. Everyone probably wouldn't hate him so much if he wasn't such a jackass :P.Quote:

Well done and killed my ps3
Lets fix that, It was dead with RSOD and shit but I managed to repair it at the cost of all my stuff on HDD.
well ps3 revived and installed the brand new Waninkoko 3.55 CFW and it works like a charm.
Install OFW then use recovery menu (NOT factory menu) to update the waninkoko cfw
I thought about installing it but I don't use the PSN so it doesn't serve much purpose for the moment, that, and the complaints of the possibility of killing the console make me iffy :wacko:.Quote:

So take a look if yours is a lucky one go for it.
I've got a first model 20GB; I won't need to worry about my firmware until Ar Tonelico 3 is out anyway.Quote:

Still waiting for these hacks to be as user friendly as the PSP CFW before I jump in, my 60gb PS3 is just waiting to be hacked. :D
:o im using gh's cfw atm and i dled the newest multiman but where im stuck is that payload thing.it says resident payload not detected, functionality may be restricted!
suggestions would be appreciated
thanks! ^^;
Are you using multiman v1.14?Quote:

That's the latest one and seems to be working fine. They also say in the previous versions that you may need to run the fix permissions.pkg file.
Just a heads up for everyone that still wants to run homebrew and backups. Don't update to the 3.56 firmware. There's reports that if you directly update to that from a CFW, it'll brick your console.
Lol dude if you want to get on PSN bypass that shit with the DNS trick.
Well, yeah. That too, but just letting people know not to be an idiot.Quote:

However, I can't seem to install any .pkg anymore..
Well, if you're still on the OFW 3.55 then just install the CFW. If you went to 3.56, well... I'm sorry but you're screwed until someone comes out with a CFW for that version.Quote:

That's not Sony but the marketing group behind the Butler twitter page.
Yeah, I was following him (the marketing team) when they retweeted that code. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that I see what it is. Damn.
Figured I would share this. Cant believe Sony is going this route.
Sony is threatening to sue anybody posting or “distributing” the first full-fledged jailbreak code for the 4-year-old PlayStation 3 gaming console.
What’s more, the company is demanding that a federal judge order Google to surrender the IP addresses and other identifying information (PDF) of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page. The game maker is also demanding that Twitter provide the identities of a host of hackers who first unveiled a limited version of the hack in December.
Sony’s aggressive pretrial discovery demands come in its lawsuit against George Hotz. The 21-year-old New Jersey hacker, who is well known in the jailbreaking community, published the finished PlayStation 3 code and a how-to YouTube video last month. The code allows the Playstation 3 to play pirated and homebrewed games.
Sony wants the information “to determine the identities of third parties hosting and distributing the circumvention devices” so Sony can send them a DMCA notice to remove the material “and, if necessary, seek appropriate relief from this court.” (PDF)
“The discovery they call for in my opinion is overbroad,” Hotz’ attorney, Stewart Kellar, said in a telephone interview.
Sony declined comment.
A hearing is tentatively set for Wednesday. Sony filed its documents about 7:30pm PST on Friday.
US District Judge Susan Illston ordered Hotz to remove the YouTube video and the code from his personal website—orders to which Hotz complied with last week. Ahead of an unscheduled trial in which Sony is seeking unspecified damages from Hotz, Illston had concluded that Hotz likely breached the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He did so by publishing or "distributing" a hack designed to circumvent software meant to protect copyrighted material, the judge said.
Hotz, by order of Illston, is also scheduled to surrender his computer gear to Sony by Thursday. Kellar is trying to convince Judge Illston to back away from allowing Sony to examine his drives and other devices.
Sony is also trying to haul the so-called “failOverflow hacking team” into court. But first, Sony needs to learn the identities and whereabouts of the group’s members. They are accused of posting a rudimentary hack in December. It was refined by Hotz weeks later when he accessed the console’s so-called “metldr keys,” or root keys that trick the system into running unauthorized programs
Toward getting the FailOverflow defendants to appear into court, Sony is demanding that Twitter divulge the personal account information (PDF) behind the usernames of @KaKaRoToKS, @gnihsub, @pytey, @bl4sty, @marcan42 and @failOverflow.
Sony claims the hacks will eat into game sales for the 41 million PS3 units sold.
The DMCA makes it either a civil or criminal offense to traffic in wares meant to circumvent devices protecting copyrighted works. Ironically, performing a similar hack on a mobile phone is lawful.
Last summer, the US Copyright Office exempted cell phone jailbreaking from being covered by the DMCA. The decision means consumers may run the apps of their choice on mobile phones without fear of being civilly or criminally liable for a DMCA breach.

I commented on a bunch of posts about the hacks. Well, better go find a lawyer.
Heh, another one... First Microsoft, now - Sony.
Sony are now banning PSN ID's that have been in contact with CFW. :) :) :)
This is the warning you receive:
Quote:
Important: Access to the PlayStation(R)Network and Access to Qriocity(TM) Services Notice
Unauthorized circumvention devices for PlayStation(R)3 system have been recently released by hackers for the PlayStation(R)3 system. These devices permit the use of unauthorized or pirated software.
Use of such devices or software violates the terms of your “System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation(R)3 System” and the “Terms of Services and User Agreement” for the PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity(TM) and its Community Code of Conduct provisions. In addition, copying or playing pirated software is a violation of International Copyright Laws.
A circumvention device and/or unauthorized or pirated software currently resides on your PlayStation(R)3 system.
Immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from your PlayStation(R)3 system. Failure to do so will result in termination of your access to PlayStation(R) Network and access to Qriocity(TM) services through your PlayStation(R)3 system.
Sounds like if you take off the hack, you can get back in :lol
From what I read so far, they're only banning the usernames and not the console from PSN. They're also sending out emails to people that were caught with the CFW. So you can either get rid of the hack before going back online or just not go online at all. Fortunately for me, I rarely go online. Only when I want to purchase something or update my trophies.
They didnt give me a chance, got a mail to one of my accounts also they dont ban your username, thats bullshit. They ban your PS3 system, since I couldnt get on any of my accounts after the instant permaban.
