Here is what I call You must login or register to view this content., an You must login or register to view this content. You must login or register to view this content. pack for the PlayStation 3 console.
I spend the last days in playing around with PS3 FW files and have modified some of them and hopefully unlocked nearly ALL Debug options.
I mainly have edited the RCO’s and their XML’s. It’s phenomenal what can be done with a simple XML file.

The Wii works on the same way, but anyway we can change the whole XMB via the XML’s. It was a childs play to add some paths from one XML to another and add additional download paths for contents that before was only download able into one path. (eg PS3HDD or PS3 only games).
In my country nearly all chips that can be used to make a PSGroove are sold out. I still have some ATmega8 chips at home but I need to modify the source to get the thing running.
The LUFA software USB LIB doesn’t support ATmega8 so I’m trying to use a other smaller soft USB but I will need some days more until I can compile the first hex.
Therefore, I am putting out these modified FW files for PS3 to let other guys test if you wish.
Be careful what you’re doing and don’t UPDATE. I tryed to block every update option but as I said it’s the first time and it’s not sure that every thing works like it should. But together we will find it out. You must login or register to view this content.
• First download a PS3 FW Dump first (THIS is the one I used) so you can replace the files with the You must login or register to view this content. file linked above, and put only the folders from “PS3 Hacked FW files” on your USB stick into the dev_flash folder. Make sure to not have any additional files on it !!
• Extract the contents of dev_flash2.rar on your desktop. Use the xRegistry app (or PS3 Multi Tool) to edit the your own one and activate the debug options. I have set a bit flag but don’t know if it will work in case that every reg file I have don’t include one single bit flag. But as SKFU told us I have set a flag instead of a value.
• After that is done, put the xReg back on your PS3. Now insert the USB stick with our CFW and load the files with USB Firm Loader.
Let me know if it works and play around a bit, tell me what is working and what not. Currently only English and German should display ALL Debug options. Support for other languages will follow soon.
Below are a few things of what would be changed:
PS3 Debug Options activated:
• Hax_Home/PS3_Game/
• Install PKG
• Check
• Lock
• Unlock
• Chancel Purchase
• Delate
• Update via HDD
• Delate Update from HDD
• Title Store Preview (Store)
• Title Store Preview (In Game)
• Import
• Export
• Quick Sign Up
• Performance Bar
• No Memory Limit
• Quick Preview
• Owner Information
• Fake HDD Size
• CORE Dump
• Game Debug
PS3 System Hacks:
• Block Updates
• Block Online Updates
• Block Game Updates
• Unlocked Secret Debug Options
• Unlocked PSP Only (now you can copy PSP only tiles on any media)
• Unlocked Pocketstation
• Unlocked PS2
• Unlocked System Driver Pocketstaion
• Unlocked System Driver PS2
I will now continue working on the ATmega8 mod and hope that I can get it small enough.

yea hopefully it has some truth to it and not all bs but if anyone knows how this works good try to take what is given and modify it if it isnt done its on right path from the sounds and personally if i made a cfw i would not release it as then sony can get a hold of it and there we go another patched exploit nice job:shh:You must login or register to view this content.
