Well here is the bad news, Somehow my hard drive has failed ps3 simply would not read it no more, so i didnt really care because i had a backup on my western digital or w/e that ext hdd is called...
Well i plugged in my other hard drive to my ps3 and plugged my EXT hard drive up but my ps3 wasent reading the ext hdd? So from there i plugged that into my pc and went to disk management and it says unallocated disk? hmm seems odd that 2 off my hard drives are going to do this both having my backups with my mods makes no sense? I managed to get my backup through file recovery but my ps3 wont restore the backup... i guess it got corrupted somehow when initializing... I cannot make a new modded patch by the method i was using because i updated from 3.00 to 3.30 which patched the method. So the only chance to get the modded lobbies back up is if my ps3 reads my back up. Untill then there wont be anymore online mods but i can still do lan because i have 1 more ps3 on 3.00 FW and another on 2.70 FW ( yay for homebrew! ) lol So i can do xp lobbies in LAN for WaW and CoD4 just give me time to get this all set up, im not going to give up that fast on my ps3 that suddenly failed on me... Sorry bout this guys...
I have xLink Kai now and it works, if you're doing a LAN 10th game let me know

Theres one more thing i forgot to add
If i can find out how to get past error 8003051E i could have modded lobbies up right
now again for ever LOL.
The error means "Game does not write". I can't see any fix besides sending it to Sony for a refurbishment

I'm gonna keep on google-ing though in the hope of finding a fix for ya'

If you do a LAN lobby can anyone join? and also, will your rank you get to stay the same when you go online?
1. If you use xLink Kai(google it) yes, anyone can join your LAN game.
2. I believe hunter's hack/mod makes it so yes.
Update for hunter: The only useful information I could find was "Error 8003051E: Unable To Save Game; Frustrating error but should not be permanent unless harddrive is full." Hope I helped?
