>>333090178
sony always wins baby
>>333090178
It got hacked, but people stopped caring.
I guess the hacked PS3 slim under my TV isn't really hacked after all.
>>333090178
It's hacked but bullshit to do. A guy in my area charges $250 to fucking hack it. What's the fucking point?
>>333090178
It was hacked years ago bae.
>>333092336
Well you need a certain model to downgrade to a 3.50 to hack it , you also need to BUY hardware to downgrade your system.
>>333092575
Why's this such a surprise? That's just like the good old days!
>>333090178
>"slim"
>unhackable
There's like 4 different Slim models. I mean if you're going to talk about hacking, you have to be more fucking specific than "Slim". It depends entirely on your model number.
>2016
>already hacked
>>333092620
Funny, PS2 needs a "Hardmod" too, cant be done software wise.
>>333090178
and no games.
>>333092753
Every PS2 model can play backups solely through software modifications.
>>333092753
Nah, ps2 can be softmodded but you need to have a copy of 007 Agent Under Fire, and it has to be original (black) so no greatest hits copy (red)
>>333092926
Starting third quarter 2008, no they can't.
>>333092997
Or just buy a memory card with the hack on it.
>>333092997
>but you need to have a copy of 007 Agent Under Fire
Haha why? Explain this shit.
>>333092464
>$250
Nigger. I got mine done for $30 2 years ago.
>>333093285
Not him but want me to explain me how PS2 works or you want to google it yourself?
>>333093285
The hack everyone uses with PS2 is FreeMCBoot. As long as that shit is on your memory card you can pirate with ease.
Tough bit is getting it on the memory card. Obviously you can't plug it into your PC. So you gotta get creative.
007 AUF is one of many games that have several ".exe"s on the disc. They're called something different but they work in the same way.
You burn your own DVD with one of the exes changed to a FreeMCBoot installer.
When the game loads a new exe, you swap the original out for one you burned. Then FreeMCBoot installs and you're good.
>buying hardware you have zero control over
Why are console owners such cuckolds /v/?
>>333093031
Those models don't support FMCB 1.9 but you can still boot homebrew through Swap Magic.
>>333093682
Oh yeah you're right, and from there you can get ESR so you don't have to do a sensor mod either.
>tfw have a newer revision of the slim model
>can't downgrade
;_;
>>333093031
Jesus Christ they were still making revised models in 2008? I mean I know they produced them for ages, but for them to actually still make revised models for that long is surprising. Even if it is primarily for more efficient/cheaper production.
>>333093894
It was a simple BIOS update, not even a hardware update. It was a simple fix to help combat piracy, which would be rampant in the places these machines were still being sold.
>>333093543
>You burn your own DVD with one of the exes changed
But don't you need FreeMCBoot to use burned disks in the first place?
>>333093894
Latest PS3 model is from 2013, and they will probably make a new one if it makes production cheaper since people are still buying those.
>>333094031
I believe the console only checks if the disc is legit at boot, after that you can swap it out with something else and it will read it.
>>333092926
Wait, really? Do you have a good link for this? There are a few games I'd probably want to play on my fat.
>>333094031
Using a game with a certain ELF file, you use a slide card to pull the tray out freezing the game at a certain point. Insert the disk with modified file(same game), click something for the ELF to load and it just works. The modified file is the way to execute whatever home brew .
This FreeMCBoot, what does it allow? Can you run games off a USB? Or even the Hard Drive on the PS2 Fat?
>>333094031
Kinda.
Whenever you close the PS2's tray, the drive controller verifies that what was put in the console is a valid disc. If it looks like a real PS2 disc, a real DVD video or a burned DVD video then the rest of the console is allowed to read whatever it wants from the disc.
When you replace the real disc with a burned one, you have to do it without pressing the drive knowing it was opened. When the new disc is in, as far the drive is concerned the authentic 007 is still in the tray. So the console lets the game blindly run the hacked exe.
The "burned DVD video" trick is also what lets you use burned games. When you burn games for FreeMCBoot, you patch them so they look like DVD videos to the drive controller but are recognised as games by FreeMCBoot software.
>>333094351
I'd recommend the HDD mod if you have a fat.
>>333094507
>Can you run games off a USB?
Yes, but USB 1.1 read speeds are fucking dire.
>Or even the Hard Drive on the PS2 Fat?
A far, far superior solution.
>>333094507
Yes and yes
>>333094532
but how do i swap if I can't open the tray?
>>333094651
Isn't Loading over your network the superior solution
>>333094532
Quick google says I need IDE? I might have a SATA to IDE adapter somewhere but I think I gave it away, time to go hunting around the house I guess.
>>333094651
>USB 1.1 read speeds are fucking dire
Really? Even slower than DVD?
>>333094731
On the PS2 fat, you can use a slide card to pull open the tray without pressing the button. You can also take off the casing and access the drive directly, or install a permanent flip-top case if you're doing it a lot.
On the slim, you must cover up the sensors that determine if the tray is open.
>>333094759
Fat Internal HDD > SMB (network) = DVD > USB
>>333094839
Make sure whatever setup you're planning on using will actually fit in the PS2 expansion bay.
>>333094920
Yes. FMVs will always stutter.
>>333094920
Yes, games are playable mostly and cutscenes are unwatchable all the time.
>>333094351
Google FMCB 1.9 and pick a way to install it on your memory card. There are multiple ways to do it.
After you have done that plug a IDE HD in the back of your ps2 and download OPL. Install games on it over the network cable and boot them with OPL.
>>333095039
Load screens are slower too?
>>333095152
>Giving shit advice
You don't need FMCB on your memory card if you're installing an IDE HDD.
is there even a purpose to jailbreaking your PS3 at this point? didn't that whole craze die out like 3-4 years ago back when people lost interest. Are newer games even cracked and able to be downloaded??
>>333095165
Haven't noticed playing Playing P4
>>333095256
Yeah, I've been doing it. They haven't bumped up security, and I can run the latest firmware/use PSN.
>>333092740
The PS4 has more security issues than the PS3 had, at least on early firmwares.
>>333095230
There is no reason not to have it on your memory card. The space it consumes is insignificant.
>>333095256
>cracked
Are you fucking retarded? The jailbreak simply allows you to play burned games (Or ISOs on the hard drive). There is no limit so long as the game was released on disc. Not sure about digital only games.
>>333095393
The point is that you don't need to go to the trouble of installing it on your MC by one of the conventional hacks when you can just flash a file to your HDD and be dodne.
>>333095256
>Are newer games even cracked and able to be downloaded??
Ofcourse they are and they don't even need to be cracked what are you talking about? Just download an iso and play it on a CFW with Cobra
>>333095410
>The jailbreak simply allows you to play burned games
Can you actually burn a PS3 game on a BD and play it like that? Never tried (don't have bd burner)
>>333090178
If you have anything earlier than the second slim revision (2011) then it's hackable.
Anything after that and its a lot more difficult, but not impossible.
In any case you have to buy a piece of hardware and open up the system to force reflash the firmware.
Pretty impressive security.
>>333095587
I have a hacked PS3, but no BD burner. I think I can do it like that, but I just FTP ISOs to my hard drive.
>>333095256
I've been looking into again for Persona 5 undub, but I found out my slim is just past the required model.
>>333094920
Yes, USB 1.1 speed limit is 10Mb/s which is around 1.2MB/s, DVD is 4.5MB/s.
>>333095687
>Persona 5 undub
> implying Persona 5 for PS3 will be released outside of Japan
Maybe when they fucking announced it to release in winter 2014
>>333095687
You can still use an ODE I think, but not really worth the trouble since its like 100$ and could fuck your shit up
>>333095393
>>333095478
Regardless of your guys' discussion, I don't think I have the adapter anymore and I also don't have an extra hard drive to permanently dedicate to a PS2. I might be best off hoping PCSX2 runs well with the few games I'd like to play (I already know Return to Arms absolutely won't work though and that was one of them).
>>333095478
You still need a way to write to your IDE HD which I assume is as convenient as using one of the methods to get FMCB on your memory card.
And even if you can easily do that, it is recommended to also have FMCB on your memory card as a plan B in case of removing/dying HD.
>>333095946
>And even if you can easily do that, it is recommended to also have FMCB on your memory card as a plan B in case of removing/dying HD.
I can agree there. It just seems that using the HDD first is the most reasonable way of getting your foot in the door, I guess.
PS vita hack when?
>>333095940
You could always just buy a memory card with FreeMCBoot installed. Shouldn't cost you much, hassle free.
>>333096087
Never.
>>333095256
All the older games I'm interested in are cut into 40x200mb parts or so and uploaded to shady file hosting sites with shitloads of popup ads.
At least use Mega for fuck sake.
>>333095881
The only bad thing about ODEs are firmware updates. Sony sometimes patches things so ODE stops working and then everything goes to shit so you need to be very aware and do your research each time there's an update. Not that that's an issue anymore unless you know japanese and still get new games (which are mostly just japanese)
>>333096347
So will ODEs actually work on superslim?
>>333093894
There have been 18 ps2 hardware revisions. As long as you're still making it then it pays to make it more profitable.
There have already been 4 ps4 hardware revisions. Between the launch model and the new all-matte model there was one that improved the WiFi antenna, and one that improved power consumption and heat. People didn't even know until they noticed the new model numbers
>>333096087
Its already hacked, both PSVita and PSTV.
You can even load games trough wireless.
But as usual, under attention whores.
Also they use the worst excuse there is.
>>333096518
I very much think so, that's the only solution since CFW will never work
>>333096307
>parts
literally not even once.
>>333093661
>this nigga hacked his blender to do taxes and his morning veggie smoothie
>>333096307
I hate fucking adfly shit, right after Mega died everyone switched to that type of site
>>333096087
The whole PSP hacking scene moved to android, very little work going on the vita
>>333096891
Nice try mister strawman.
This is more like having a blender that will blend apples but not strawberries. It's perfectly up to the task but for some stupid fucking arbitrary reason I can't use it to blend my fucking strawberries.
>>333096670
Yeah I googled and the Cobra ones seem to work. Any chance you have experience with them anon? Worth it?
>>333096891
So what? Now you don't have to do your taxes and make morning veggie smoothies at all anymore.
>>333096087
I heard that thing is pretty secure. Probably lack of interest, though.
Since you are all talking about mods, is there a mod for 360 that I can do myself? I have it accumulating dust because I don't have cash for both live AND actually buying the games.
>>333097447
yeah the 360 is a joke to hack, get googling
>>333097348
No experience but I know they work however I recommend asking someone experienced to install the mod. It's worth if you're planning on downloading more than 100$ worth of games. You could either do that or do what I did which was to sell my PS3 + controllers + original games that I already had and buy a used PS3 with CFW already installed.
>>333097673
Yeah I wanna get mgs legacy collection which is already 60$ since you cant find it cheaper + a couple of stuff and they're all neatly seeded on my ptracker. Thanks for the advice anon I'll try and find some guy who mods them in my area
>>333097447
Pretty sure there was a working 360 hack even before the official console launch when some hacker got his console a day or two early
>>333097673
This. Bought a CFW'd PS3 for ~150€, updated CFW, did some fucking around and got to play GTAV and Destiny online on launch for free.
>>333097447
It's super easy to flash a 360 DVD drive but you have to burn all your games. Only a few dvd burners work and only on a few specific brands of dual layered DVDs at slow ass speeds.
It's a pain in the ass to actually play anything.
>>333098092
Did you ever gat banned?
The vita would have actually taken off if they made it completely open to hacking.
>>333098191
Getting the games isn't an issue
Here in beaner country you can find them easily, some fags dedicate their whole lives to selling you the games.
I just don't trust these faggots to hack it, because they can change the laser for an old rotten one or some bullshit.
>>333098314
Not him but if you keep your shit updated (namely your CFW and whichever PSN enabler is currently the safest) and don't use cheats then it is very unlikely you will be banned.
Even if you are banned you can still spoof your ID with a clean one.
>>333098314
Not him but I did something similar.
Didn't get banned but obviously used a throwaway psn account.
Cfw lies about your firmware no. when psn aks so as far as psn and game servers are concerned you're a legit player.
Just don't be retarded and hack/cheat in games
>>333098684
>you can still spoof your ID with a clean one.
I'd need another PS3 for that
>>333098886
You need a PS3 to extract a clean one. Or you can get one online extracted already.
I think the PSP ones also work, not sure.
Ask someone that talks to the Rebug team from time to time and owns a Debug PS3 anythingI also preserve vidya when I can if I have the moneyI currently have a mega archive for all PS3 firmwares I can find. I'm working on PS4 now as well and can link it if you're interested.
If Sony deliberately released insecure firmware for their old hardware like ps3s it would drive sales. Who cares if people pirate old games, its not like anybody was going to buy them legit anymore, probably can't even find any ps3 games new nowadays.
>>333098191
I thought it was pretty rough to flash a 360 drive. Don't you need to buy like $60+ of shit? Then you still might have to open up and hardmod depending on which drive and model you have. I never heard that burning them was the bad part as long as you use dual layers and the right software to burn.
I have a slim newish 360 sitting around here that I have never even used. Someone gave it to me because they didn't want it.
test
>>333099201
How the fuck does that pos still work?
I had to toast my launch day ps3 several times to keep it alive, after already cutting a huge hole in the bottom to let more air in
>>333099201I have no idea what any of this is
>>333099201
When and will Rebug move to the PS4? As far as I'm aware the kernel exploits are public already.
>>333099235
You can but mostly just the shitty ones like cowa duda and uncharted, aka the ones everyone buys
I also picked up RDR goty brand new like 4 months ago
>>333099257
>I thought it was pretty rough to flash a 360 drive
nah, open the console, take out the drive and plug it into your PC's sata port and run some program.
>>333099201
with timestamp
>>333099449
i just redid the thermal paste a few days ago. was pretty fun to be honest
as long as you dont do super intensive stuff with it you're fine. I barely load ps3 games so overall I'm in the clear.
>>333099476
thats okay anon. ask and i shall share what i can
>>333099529
no idea honestly. the main thing right now is making sure we can gain more control over the system. just a kernel exploit isnt enough. the main issue is the new hardware push sony is trying. since it was announced soon after said exploit it could mean sony is trying to make the old hardware unobtainable and only have a new system with a base FW of 2.XX or higher to avoid the 1,76 FW exploits. Its the superslims all over again with this but theyre pushing power and 4k along with it to really get users to get the new model
>>333092753
Actually you can soft-mod it with the memcard exploit. This has literally been a thing for like a decade and every model is susceptible.
>>333099201
LINK THE PS4 FIRMWARES
IF YOU ALSO HAVE THE PS3 FIRMWARES PLEASE LINK THAT TOO
>>333099201>I currently have a mega archive for all PS3 firmwares I can find. I'm working on PS4 now as well and can link it if you're interested.
Please do. I try to mirror rare stuff when I can.
>>333099201
Habib, go home. I still haven't forgiven you for your terrible first CFWs.
>>333093543
Or you can buy a gameshark or action replay, they have an app that lets you transfer files from a USB to a memory card.
>>333093776
Dude, literally two posts above yours.
>>333099853
Nah they don't need to release a new hardware model to force new mandatory firmware.
They did that with games.
Gta V included the latest ps3 firmware on disk and wouldn't work until after you installed it, several other games did it too.
Plus they could just update the firmware version ps4s ship with without changing the hardware at all.
>>333100419
I mean for PS3. I have a CECH-3001A and I heard it's not possible to downgrade it even with a hardmod.
>>333093776
just get a ODE
>>333100489
Oh, well shiiiieeeaaaat, wait a few more years.
Hackers always find a way.
>>333100637
>bought the slim almost 3 years ago for that reason
>still no downgrade possible
kill me
>>333099853
Whats it for if you don't play games on it?
Also what's the difference between a test unit and a normal console?
>>333099853
So I'll take that as an yes for eventual Rebug involvement in the PS4 scene? They might already have been but I didn't see any highlight on the news recently.
I take development of Rebug CFW will eventually stop some time soon. Namely because of the release of the source code, how busy each team member has been with family, and Sony eventually ending PS3 FW updates.
>>333100698
Yeah, its not gonna be that fast.
Hackers actually need an interest, which there isn't, so you're waiting for one hobbyist to get bored.
>2016

>Habib
had a nice chuckle. thanks
>>333100468
Now thats fine and all but you missed the part whee I mentioned the Superslims. The superslims cant get downgraded to the exploitable firmware of 3.55 since the lowest allowed for them is 4.20 (if i recall) because they locked that shit down.
That's not to say the system cant be cracked again but sony really stepped it up on those and I only see this happening again
>>333100763
Ripping, testing, PS1/2 games, staying up to date to be able to test new things and troubleshoot if needed.
>Also what's the difference between a test unit and a normal console?
Software end it allows retail games to be played as well as BD-R discs with fself eboots (debug/dev signed). Just has some extra perks out of the box and can act like a cfw machine without cfwand swap X/O buttons as well as fake PS+, change region, fake region, turn off HDCP
>>333100813
I really hope PS4 gets picked up by Rebug to a point where they put CFW up.
>>333100698
I'm a similar position, ODE is our only hope for now but that shit seems a bit hard to do by myself, luckily there's plenty of people doing it
>>333100875
There have been cracks for denuvo games before, just not the latest ones I guess

I have PT ready to install when we're able to install packages so when that day comes I know damn well what I'll be doing.Should I throw PT's files onto MEGA?
>>333101210
Everyone hacks PSN at this point. It's just a given
>>333101064
Wait, won't installing ODE allow for CFWs to work as long as you're under 4.66?
That sounds like pretty good.
>>333101410
ODE is not CFW, it's basically an on board emulator that makes the ps3 think that the external hdd is a bluray disc. that's basically all it can do as far as i know. can't install homebrew and all that shit
>>333100975
It would still be trivial for Sony to change the ps4 boot rom to check for firmware 2.XX or above, they wouldn't need a whole new sku. There's no motivation for them to come out with a brand new model just for that.
>>333101265
And piracy on PSTV when?
>3DS kernel was blown wide open 3 different times
>PS3 is still limited to 3.50
RRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>333101541

Damn, I really hope then they do something with the newer slim models then.
I know it's possible but development is going to be a while.
>>333101656
Nintendo isn't exactly famous for their console's security.
>>333101656

Just take a read young one.
>>333102117
Any ps3 up to and including the first slim model (not super slim) can get Cfw. Any ps3 past that can get Cfw if it hasn't updated past 4.66 yet, otherwise you're fucked
>>333090178
Actually it is very easy to hack without even needing to make a hardware mod. Just plug some usb stick with the Cfirmware and it is hacked, it loads ISOs from a external HD, works good, but no online.
>>333102290
I'm pretty sure there is no way to pirate Vita games at the moment (apart from that shady black fin dildo). Only PSP and PS1 games.inb4 that's because there are none hurr

Do I have to do it myself?
>>333102743
yes you do
>>333102590
To be fair the black fin is really the only way til people give a shit. Once there's a way to pirate you're basically free to never use the blackfin

>>333102694
The dream is dead anon I don't think they'll add support even if you held them at gunpoint anymore.
>>333102537
I'm pretty sure you still need the game cartridge to do that.
>>333093285
You make a disc image of the game and replace the second level with an installer.
Agent Under Fire, alongside a few other titles (including one of the versions of FIFA) can be used.
You edit the disc image and replace the second level with a launcher/installer for freemcboot or whatever and then burn it.
Block the disc sensors of the PS2 so it doesn't detect you swapping discs.
Finish the first level and then swap discs during the loading screen for level 2 and then the installer pops up instead.
That's how I did mine. It's pretty cool. Reminded me of those absolutely horrible video game episodes of procedural crime shows where files are buried in a video game or something
>>333103002
Why not? Cobra is still working on their product
can i softmod my ps2 without buying anything? that's all i want to know.
>>333103070
>Finish the first level
>>333102537
Not exactly piracy.
>>333103183
if you don't have a 9xxx model, then yes you can
>>333103183
yes if you have a brodude friend that already did so
no otherwise.
>>333103089
But didn't 4.78 fix the exploit?
I want to believe but I don't think there's any hope for me now.
>>333103183
Do you have a PS2 FAT and a IDE HDD?
If yes, yes.
If no, no.
>>333103230
close enough.
use blackfin too while you're at it
its the best we can do til someone gives enough of a shit.
>>333103263
I have the fat original model, bought in 2001.
>>333103307
Shit was fixed before desu
>>333103349
I do actually have a IDE HDD, 60gb one.
>>333103225
>finish the tutorial
>>333103509
PS2 Network adapter?
Is this shit unhackable or nobody gives a fuck about the Vita?
If no one gives a fuck about the Vita... why? You could do a fuckload of things with a CFW PSP I can't image the things you could with a Vita
So real fast, did anyone start downloading the PS3 firmware archive I linked?
I just want to ensure that someone started grabbing it.
At that, while PT uploads should I drop the link when it's done?I'll work on PS4 firmware collections soon but I just cant be assed to make more than 1 account for it. It's a lot of data and MEGA only offers 50 freeIm on my 5th fucking account now
>>333103613
Nobody gives a fuck about the vita.
And the only ones who did have a retarded mentality that think that if they release something the PSVita will become the next PSP.
And they think that is bad.
>>333103615
I have it backed up on my MEGA anon.
>>333103615
>should I drop the link when it's done?
For PT? Sure
>>333103585
nope.
>>333103709
>>333103613
But they sure love to brag about something and want their dicks sucked to even release info about it but never the real thing.
>>333103709
>have a retarded mentality that think that if they release something the PSVita will become the next PSP.
So sell way better than the Vita?
Since when there are moralfags in the homebrew scene?
>>333103613
Everything the vita could possibly do can be done a lot easier on android.
This is what killed the psp/vita Cfw scene, smartphones.
>>333103709

Thanks anon
The PS4 firmware is already at the following
>27.5GB
>55 Files
>Retail folder
>Recovery folder
>Beta folder
>>333103847
It's at 32% for the moment
>>333103615
How will one be able to play PT without homebrew tho
>>333103585
>here's what you need
>okay i have those.
>good. oh, btw, you need something else.
every fucking time.
>>333103930
>It's at 32% for the moment
Sweet, if the thread dies could you email me the link?
[email protected]
>>333103959
Have it ready for the ability to use it when the time comes. It's a waiting game right now.
>>333103889
Then you will have to pay for either 007 or a PS2 Network adapter.
>>333104024
That is just how it works, you need to conncet your PS2 to the HDD somehow anon.
>>333104061
No prob anon.I'm tempted to turn on my trip but I don't want to be a colossal faggot right now
I wish it was easier to jailbreak a PS3 so I can play MGO2R.
>>333103907
>So sell way better than the Vita?
That is what is retarded about it, just visit the wololo forums for 5 minutes and you will see.
So I was gonna hack a second ps3 but it's got the ylod or whatever. I'm going to do a reflow but I forgot to get thermal paste, do I need thermal paste or would I be fine for a little while?
>>333104183
You can find a jailbroken one for the same price as a non-jailbroken one.
>>333104112
What if i just want to make it so it'll read burned games on dvds?
>>333104168
Oh, I just dug up a link for the PT packages actually
https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/3ohqaq/found_pkg_file_for_pt_on_sonys_servers/
US PKG file with no JSON, and the PKG+JSON for the EU one
Might be worth uploading your one though in case it's different
>>333104413
you can substitute thermal paste with toothpaste
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM857ZqqRa8
>it uses SD cards
kek
>>333104413
Thermal paste or you'll kill it if it tries operating.
>>333104501
I'll grab it. Though sucks theres no JSON file.
>>333103930
Anytime anon. I love stuff like this anyways
>>333104024

Fucking smea. Here I am with OoT3D and I can't even get that to work because Powersaves is being a bitch.
>>333104443
You need 007 or HDD for it.
Or $15-25 Hardmod.
Softmod is better because it doesn't damage your laser.

Help
I'm looking to get my first PS3 and want to make sure I get one that can be softmodded. What do I look for? Certain serial numbers, firmware, etc?
>>333103709
i dont fucking get it its not like the Vita is doing super good or anything, that shit is dead and they are worried about sales?
>>333104836
http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/PS3/DEVICE_PS3.html
Avoid the Super Slim. All Fat models are downgradeable, as are early slim models. Later slim models are not.
>>333104790
what do you need help with?
>>333104595
But they just released a new print of Ocarina of Time at a lower price
>>333104565
>I love stuff like this anyways
It makes me happy to hear that.
I just personally wish I could share some files that sony doesnt want me to have out there (outside of the firmware archive i already shared)gotta be really careful with some of this data and i already fucked up once
>>333104836
Refer to this to find out what you'll want
http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models#Retail_Models
>>333104790
theres many guides anon. just calmly google them
>>333104925
Awesome, thank you anon. I appreciate you.
>>333104836
Find an unopened phat, or a slim that's 250gb or 120gb version, those 100% will be below 3.55
>>333104847
They dont care about the sales at all.
They know that once they release something they will be forgotten in history so they want to attentionwhore as much as possible.
Tell me, do you remember the name of the group that hacked the wii? All the names of the people who designed SNESX9? GBA? ETC?
>>333105042
meant to reply to >>333104595
>>333105042
>>333105095
Hell yeah, thanks guys appreciate it.
>>333100309
They don't always work. I have an Action Replay MAX with that disk that's supposed to let me do that, but none of my USB sticks get recognized and it's impossible to install the thing on my damn memory card despite having a Slim that should do it and the right AR. It's really annoying.
>>333104925
>have to buy $60+ worth of custom tools and rip the thing open and solder stuff to the motherboard
Or you could just buy 10 games for that price and be proud of your collection.
>>333105223
The wiki link will give you info regarding the models out there.
Generally the launch models dont live, but if its a dead BD drive, a YLOD there will be methods to fix those up. Chances of it being low FW is high due to the likelyhood that it died before 3.55
If you need to, theres resources to figure out ways to downgrade
>>333099201
Is it possible to add a new function to eboot that will override old one?
>>333092421
not OP but online the PS3 before certain release series can be hacked.
and the other programs costs more than $200 and can actually kill the ps3 while putting the stuff in
>hack your PS3
>there's still nothing to do with it
Is a PS3 slim CECH-2511A downgradable?
>>333105401
Or you can just buy a pre-CFWed PS3 if you're so lazy.
>>333090178
Say that to the fucks who ruined GTA Online.
>>333105401
you don't have to buy anything if you're already below 3.55
>>333090178
Emulator soon : https://youtu.be/g34sHs4Sf3o?t=29s
>>333105453
Like decrypt to .elf, alter some certain values, resign it and use it?
If so yes you can do so but you have to know how the eboot works and doing so would be needing some knowledge about PPC CPUS.
I did so with Dead rising 2 to allow mods and debug functions but its not perfect
>>333105158
Would it be alright to email me them if I used a throwaway email?
I always wondered, why is it that 3.55 is the golden firmware? How come no one else in the PS3 homebrew community has made any higher firmware possible for exploiting?
There's so many talented people in the scene but yet it mystifies me why none have stepped forward to try.
>>333105498
http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/PS3/SLIM_MODEL.html
yes
>>333104565
Thermal paste does that much? I was hoping to reflow it and then just turn it on to see if it stays on instead of flashing a yellow light.
>>333104515
Please tell me you're lying.
>>333105492
nice meme. I've had my cfw ps3 for 4 years now and i've played like 200 retail games and over 300 psn games. not to mention since ps2 classics function was introduced, i can now emulate most ps2 and psp games on it.
P-Peecee m-master r-race amirite guys?
>>333105613
shit, time to upgrade to windows 10 ;O
>>333105692
Yeah sure. I can email em when they're up.
Though I suggest just grabbing the US one from that reddit link as I may have to take a lot more time uploading the US one on top of the EU one.
Drop an email, I got 1 already to link to so why not make a list
>>333105749
if thats the case then sure dont. Just be sure you dont skimp out on the thermal paste.

The only trouble is figuring out what methods/firmware is the way to go versus those that are now outdated. For example I hadn't heard of mmcm or Cobra before this thread, and I'm not sure what the difference is between ps3dl or psndl.
I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, it can be a bit tricky when the guide is from 2013 or so and might be outdated.
>>333105907

Here you go anon
>>333105747
actually 3.41 was the first jailbreak, then 3.55 was supposed to fix the exploit, but that was hacked too. then Sony sued Geohot and it scared off a lot of people. then it was like a year or 2 where you couldn';t paly anything that required fw above 3.55, then some hacker drama occurred and the LV0 keys leaked, which let you update your cfw to a higher version, but for some reason don't let you hack that version if you're on OFW
>>333106039
>I'm not sure what the difference is between ps3dl or psndl.
Use PSNStuff+ (PSNStuffx)
I can't personally speak regarding the COBRA stuff but Multiman works for me. DEX PS3s usually work out of the box and require less tinkering.
>>333106078
I'll do one email for the EU one, and then the US one if you're interested.
>>333106039
I can advise you to start off with installing mutliman, and playing retail games a bunch, then go into the more complex shit.
>>333106134
I assume updated cfw is just patched ofw, you still need cfw to load that.
Ofw doesn't allow loading modified software.
I've wanted to hack my PS3, but I own some 30 games for it already and I have beaten maybe 5 of them so I'd rather beat the rest first before getting even more shit I'll never play.
>>333106347
yea but back before lv0 was leaked people were talking about it like it was the ultimate goal, as if finding it would mean you can hack any system, then it was leaked and it was like "kek, not really"
>>333106216
Sounds good to me anon
>>333106039
If you're on 3.55 you'll wanna Toggle QA flag and install a modern cfw like cobra REX.
Is it still an enormous hassle to downgrade a ps3?
>>333105940
Still butthurt about the $600 you spent on your ps3, chad?
>>333106515
technically you could hack any system if you had it
but the fag that leaked it didn't leak all of it so you're restricted to only using it if you already cfw'd it
I just use brute force save data to hack everything.
>>333106563
>Toggle QA flag
people still spout that meme? literally a placebo.
>>333106515
Sony is a fun company.
We can hack their serves, ruin the company, and fuck with so much shit, but the moment it becomes about the innards of the system it becomes a huge group effort with little success over lengthy amounts of time.
It's always fun when sony fucks up after a dry spell.
>>333106525
You got it.

>>333106216

>>333092464
Damn. I got real fucking lucky. A friend from work did mine for free last year. Been enjoying PS1, PS2, PS3, and emulated games since then. Not even a phat PS3, it's a first gen slim.
>>333106681
>Placebo
Enjoy never being able to go back to 3.55 if you want.
>>333107095
why would you want to?
One thing that makes me wonder is that my brother's superslim still plays some PS2 games via disc.
Isn't this supposed to not work? I mean I'm here with a fucking Debug PS3 and he's still able to play PS2 games when there's no actual support on those systems.
It makes me want to look into it but he's just not willing to have me look into it
>>333107152
you know, to mod the system...
>>333106619
That's strange. A key shouldn't magically make exploits on new fw appear.
They should only be useful for de/encrypting.
>>333107152
It's just an option
>>333107262
CFW ps2 emulator?
All of my consoles are hacked to some degree.
>Wii U on 5.3.2 with hacked Wii mode and Nintendon't for GameCube games
>4.4 O3DSXL with Gateway and HBL
>hacked original model fully backwards compatible fat PS3 with 1TB internal hard drive, capable playing PS1/PS2/PSP
>hacked OG Xbox Hueg with 250GB hard drive
>Dreamcast, that can just natively run burnt discs
The only thing I have that isn't hacked yet is my Sega Saturn, because I'm shit at hardmods and I'm afraid to modchip it. Isn't there a softmod for the Saturn yet?
>>333107410
super slim cannot downgrade
>>333107095
you can only do that on 3.55?
>>333090178
That's what happens when your hacking scene is full of retards who can't stop with petty infighting over their shitty news sites and push away everyone with a modicum of talent.
>>333107152
In case something fucks up and you need to downgrade to troubleshoot
