(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys as you know I have been playing with every method on mw2. I have just got my 3.15 firmware ps3 with Linux installed. I have downloaded the patch and dumped the hdd onto my Linux partition. I know I can edit the patch_mp.ff without errors etc. So here's the theory if any one can add to it please do. But only logical. Please don't say I won't work!! Cause I plan to try it regarless. My questions will follow the theory

Playstation 3 with 3.15 and Linux.
Dump ps3 partition onto Linux partition (have already done this and am about to mod the patch_mp.ff)

System link 2 playstations via router (playsplitscreen mw2) or maybe do a file transfere?? Patch 1.11 is not copyright protected.

Maybe there's a way to infect in splitscreen system link. So the low firmware ps3 can infect the challenges and jump etc to the new firmware playstaion. Then bypass. It's a wild theory but am gonna test. Anyone have any input??

Here's an important question.

If I do a backup on the 3.15 will it restore to the 3.40

If someone can test please do. Even if it's 3.21 backup and restore to 3.30 or 3.40

If you have tested the backup feature first hand please don't just say it won't work.

And I am aware both ps3's need to be on same firmware for files transfer utility. But that's for swapping out copyright protected data. (the patch isn't copyrighted and can be backed up to USB extenal hdd I just need to know if it can restore to higher firmware)

Thanks in advance for all you help guys.

Hey brendan. Regarding the system link that should work because people do that on xbox. People join the system link lobby, turn xbox live unlocks on, and then join the game and doing the hacks and going into to a pub match to make them stick. But by the way you said it, You are planning on infecting the higher fw ps3 with coding so the higher fw can host a lobby?

Correct. All you need to do brendan is System Link... Xlink or something like that. Find the the partner(2ndps3) turn ps3 unlocks on. 3.15 give all t&e ..

yeah as its on there account but they cant host a lobby afterwards which is pretty much the aim of this... you cant even infect with system link as it doesnt infect their console just the console you recovered the GT to (for xbox)

Exactly. I asked brendan if that was his intent in my first post but he hasnt replied.

Thanks for your replys guys it gives me cofidence to try this

Setting up the patch is no problem for me now. I have also implemented all the so called hints lol

I have dumped ps3 partition as a hdd image. Pretty much the same layout as the decryption method. And found the offsets for patch_mp.ff (3rd iwff header)

So tonight I am gonna inject my missions.gsc and see where I can go from there.

I was thinking about the system Link as I read somewhere that hunter and the unknw0n sign into psn then sign out and back in pretty quickly. So I thought maybe

Up to date fw ps3 signs into psn (to get playlists) then backs out and joins a system link ( with 3.15 containing modded patch) gets the infect and then back onto psn (maybe a bypass this time to avoid more playlists?? Or maybe it won't even download more if link is done quick enough)

Seems like it could be possible with jump aim etc etc cause they can be infectious from player to player. But am trying to figure out the challenge side ov things.

On this question..

If I do a backup on the 3.15 will it restore to the 3.40

Not completely sure I understand it, but if I do....


when you restore a ps3, it restores to the latest fw that is on that ps3.

Like for example ps3 1 == 3.15 and ps3 2 == 3.40
Example is if your backup is a backup of ps3 1 3.15.

If you restore ps3 1 to ps3 1 you will be at 3.15 still.
If you restore ps3 2 with the ps3 1 backup it will force you to update to 3.40.

I hope you understand that, and hope that answers your question. If not my bad, I misunderstood.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Think I will try and system link then and see where that takes me

Good luck! Lol I was waiting all day and night for you to get on.

what If you restore ps3 1 to ps3 2? what will happen?
