(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok it is official, as Geo is behind bars (LoL jk) i took it upon myself to start working on a CFW.o

So first off i started reviewing all the .PUP files/ documenting dL and whatnot. I have discovered the parameters witch can be modified within the pup.


Ok to get at the real discovery... While exploring the HDD on a slim PS i discovered the Ps1 and Ps2 emulation devices within the device.
Sony has actually set a parameter( or a bind so to speak) on all the emulation devices, which will only allow emulation viA Network download ( game off PSN saved to HDD).

Okay gets a little tricky now, i have been editing the parameters within the emulation files stored on the PS3, and made a discovery that we actually CAN get our backward compatibility back!!!


I have a few ideas in which i have been testing all night, and i think i may have found a way to trick the PS3 to play your past titles from prior systems. Im not gonna shed much light on this right now, but i Will be posting ANY and all updates and findings...

Also if there is ANY1 familiar with CMD line interface and cmds post in here let me know, the more people working on this, the more we will find...


**UPDATE**
Ability to Boot past titles from a fat32Formatted External.(Unpartitioned)

**UPDATE**
Open Manager 2.1 & a Newly designed CoManager(File & Backup)

* Old 80 GB

* 20GB

* MGS4 40GB Bundle


Back to topic, tell me why would Sony block such as feature if it was possible through a FW update. Don't bring Other OS they blocked it to prevent hacks.


Really i thought only the 80gb was BC. Anyways onto vaner:

You really think they blokced the OS option cause hacks???? Lol i dont agree imo. Did it work for them/?? Didnt think so....

I think the underlying reason why OS was blocked, was SONY was scared that somebody who makes less than $50,000 a year could EFFECTIVELY design an OS/build which operated as well OR better than SONYS original .

Anyway keep up the good work i can try and assist in any way i can i have basic c++ knowledge and I'm okay with command lining.

Hit me up with a personal message and me and my brother will provide any assistance we can.

Including testing etc only if you need it.

I'm not a leech.

Thanks


Im just getting off class ill Be on PSN soon.... My aim is s2coltkiller

I am not going on either side of this debate but there are those files I mentioned above somewhere on the ps3 system.

It may be possible but I personally think we have not unlocked the full hacking potential of the ps3.

I think this is very possible. I have a ps3 80 gb MGS4 release with ps1 and ps2 playability. Would it prove useful to dump the contents of this version of the system so you can compare to the slim? I think there's a lot of shit hiding inside the ps3 we haven't accessed yet. Sort of explains Sony's crazy sue spree.
