I thought you got a mail, I saw the ToS change on a bunch of news sites, what did they actually change/add in?Quote:

Yes I got a mail, in which they said I was banned not a warning.
Basically what their saying is, anything non sony authorized hardware isnt allowed, so you are a hacker if you use an usb hub to get more then 2 USB ports that isnt authorized by Sony. As if they own the USB ports, also seems they can do anything with your money, if you buy something and dont have funds they just rip off 10 dollars/euros/whatever from your creditcard (which happens to be sent around unencrypted). Further they say they can change/remove/add anything to your PS3 and if it breaks due to that process its your own damn fault. Further there is IP information and personal information they send to third parties without having to tell you a damn thing. As far as I can see it, if you agree, they fucking own you not just your ps3.
Thats the fail thing about PS3 hackers, announcing shit giving Sony enough time to fucking counter it.Quote:

So the latest firmware has been released, looks like Sony have re-secured the PS3...
KaKaRoToKS has confirmed via Twitter: "Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3"
He also states that this doesn't mean it's un-hackable, just secure - for now.
Will be interesting to see if they find a way to block new releases from working.
As always more updates can be found over at http://psx-scene.com
lol took them a while didnt it well ill be watching out for this news and see if they can get back into it lol
I hope this will stay secure for a while, Sony might stop dragging people to court then.Quote:

Or by using a cheat package.Quote:

You get that on any PS3. Anyway, get the fat if you want to play PS1/2 games on it. So long as the firmware is 3.55 or lower you should be good to go for CFW. I don't think they've introduced any new models yet, I saw something about them planning to, but like I said, I don't think they have yet.Quote:

At the moment, I don't think so. Maybe theres a linux PS2 emu that could run on the PS3? No idea. I'm pretty sure all PS3's can play PS1 games though.Quote:

Hey guys, I recently came into some money and I'm thinking about using it to get back on track in terms of modding my consoles. I'm very interested in setting my PS3 up to play backups, but I'm pretty clueless about the whole thing and most technical talk goes way over my head. I tried looking for help on other forums but most people chase me away for not reading FAQs that I barely understand.
Anyway, hoping you can help. Lemme start with the main question:
I have an older PS3, probably from the first year of their release (maybe the 2nd). I haven't done anything online with it in about 2 years. Will I be able to play backups?
If so, and please bear with me, how do I do it? So far all I've managed to gather is that I'll need a USB cable, an external HDD that uses USB 2.0, and a PS3 game. I have -zero- clue how to actually put the CFW on the console. So.. please help?
Thanks in advance.
You need to upgrade to 3.55 OFW then to 3.55 Kmeaw.
To upgrade the firmware do NOT connect to PSN. You can get the right OFW files from the internet, as well as the CFW files, they can be installed over USB AFAIK. :)
Any chance you could point me in the direction of these? =P And, I'm assuming once I get the CFW installed the basic steps afterwords are:Quote:

Am I correct? =O
You could also play from the external, or FTP the games to the PS3. Multiman is the most featured, and useful of the backup managers.Quote:

It all began when a young man named George Hotz began to work on the PlayStation 3, trying to gain access to the machine in a way that made Sony uncomfortable. In response,Sony removed the OtherOS functionality of the PlayStation 3 in a mandatory update, and the hacking community was not happy with this decision, resulting in a sort of cold war. PS3 hackers have once again gained the upper hand: Linux has been returned to the PlayStation 3.
There are a few limitations in terms of the models you can use to access this new custom firmware, but now you'll be able to use Linux with the full support of the hardware, without Sony setting up arbitrary barriers. Here are the features supported:
* Into HV integrated OtherOS bootloader loader (compatible with OtherOS bootloader on 3.15)
* OtherOS bootloader is booted directly from HV, no GameOS is involved.
* Process of booting OtherOS bootloader loader is very similar to 3.15 method
* Booting Linux from HDD/USB/BD/Network
* Linux with GameOS rights
* Full access to all HV SS services (Dispatcher Manager) from GameOS or Linux
* Full access to all System Manager services
* Ability to create/modify/remove repository nodes in LPAR 1 (e.g. with ps3dm-utils or ps3hvc-utils).
* This ability gives you much power over the whole system because many layers of PS3 use repository nodes to exchange information.
* Enabled QA mode in Update Manager
* Downgrading without USB dongle or Service Mode
* Ability to deactivate/activate HDD/VFLASH encryption (e.g. with ps3stor-utils)
* Support for ps3-utils. You can flash new OtherOS bootloader from Linux e.g.
Enabling Linux support is not an easy process, and it's certainly not optimized for people who aren't already well-versed in this sort of thing, but it's out, it's freely available, and it improves on the original implementation of the OtherOS functionality.
Sony is still bleeding from its wounds, and this is just twisting the knife in a little deeper. A quote at the top of the page, directed at Sony, sums it up: "My hardware, my rules. I brought back what you took away."
Downgrading. So I can go down below 3.60?
wat? It'll require a console with 3.55 CFW to run, 3.60 uses different keys which no one knows, so it's unlikely it'll ever be downgradeable. You just have to hope the 3.60 keys leak. And personally, I hope they don't leak as this whole situation is a mess.Quote:

Unstuck this thread as it seems to have died down now. :wacko:
Would still be mucho appreciative if someone could point me in the direction of the OFW and CFW I need.
Assuming your current firmware is 3.55 or below.Quote:

I'm still on 3.41 so I can't really say much on how installing CFW works.
If it helps, I haven't put my PS3 online since Metal Gear Solid 4 was newly released.
Out of curiosity, if I were to borrow a newish game (Dynasty Warriors 7) and play it, would it force update my PS3?
You bet your sweet ass you will.
