(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)

Unfortunately I don't have this system on cfw for that reason. When Sony tried to take away otherOs I just bought another ps3 and retained the OS feature. ( I have a slim running cfw) I was afraid flashing/editing the nand would corrupt the ps1/ps2 compatibility (much like the Blue-Ray issues) people have had. We should start a thread asking if anyone with the MGS4 80gb system with backwards compatibility has it JB'ed and have them upload the specs via FTP or something.

I can see an emulator happening or a backup manager to save PS2 games to the HDD and botting it off a ps3 disc.

Haha exactly what were working on bro. CGC cross game chat would be cool to introduce, but havent found any paths relating to chat communication etc....

i think that xmb stuff would be in the flash so check the flash out for anything interesting.

i dont think there s going to be any ps2 emulation for awhile i do belive what you say bc if your on a slim ps3 just like me and have 3.55 cfw you do notice 2 folders come up which is ps2emul and ps1emul which im guessing is sony is going to bring ps2 dlable games soon so its mostly up to sony on this untill then i think the emulation will be disabled till a new fw is out that enables DLC support of ps2 games.
