Post: The Key To Unlocking Online

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); There are several ways to achieving online play with 3.41, Awhile back there was a complete analysis of a firmware dump depicting each file and what role it had. eurus_fw.bin is an interesting one it holds "Firmware version and configuration data related to this region." complete list can be seen You must login or register to view this content. although if you were able to decrypt this file you could possibly be helpful, for now its useless but worth mentioning.

The way those who have achieved online have done so by modifying the memory. This is done threw the payload. Payload such as PSGroove patch the memory to allow the /app_home/ to be enabled in your xmb.

By patching the address that holds the system software version "2cff77" is suspected to be the line. (system software version: %u.%02u) to a higher firmware online could be achieved in theory.

You can use the peek and poke program to snoop around but to successfully patch you need to modify the psgroove payload and add the function of patching the address.

I never decrypted the firmware, anyways there is now a tutorial on walking threw writing hooks You must login or register to view this content. For those up to the challenge of writing a hook that would change the firmware version.

It wont work, thats not the value, its a string and when the firmware version is loaded, then it would appear in memory.

The only way I have heard it working is from a modified payload by writing a hook. There are only 2 text strings for System Version in the memory dump, the first one deals with a crash dump which is useless and the 2nd is the one I posted.
