(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)

I believe it has nothing to do with Software. The hardware cannot run PS2 Games and I believe you cannot emulate them. Anyways, Good Luck.

Yes the backwards compatibility was part of the hardware for the older ps3s. They removed it when they decided it was too expensive.

Yeah im pretty sure they removed it when they brought out the newer models, Wish it would work though :(

Exactly What i thought, BUT EVERY SINGLE ps3 ships with a ps2 and ps1 emulator internally installed (hence why you can play ps1 and ps2 games off the PS store).

In defense of GeoHot and all other "pirates" ( excuse my language )
but SONY actually spends the money to physically GO INSIDE the PS3 emulation controller and disable it so it may ONLY boot from HDD NOT DISC. You see where i am getting with this....?

I have proof of this, But all that stops you from playing your older games from a previous system is a firmware/update which physically binds the Player from reading from disc ( will actually say it is the wrong disc format) but again this is a lie..... Damn SONY, stripping all our features....

Anyways ive already got the base laid out for the firmware, and have already put together a team which is currently working on a way to rollback this emulation update, or build a new Driver for the emulation software.

Sony removed the 2 cell that ps3 use to read PSX and PS2.. but you can restore the Software (it just emulate PSX and PS2 system) but you also need to patch lv2 (BE CAREFUL, you can brick the PS3)..

We have already developed a beta CFW being tested which is able to read, write and execute ANY Ps1 game directly from disc.

ALSO a Blu-Ray player BY DEFAULT can read and execute DVD discs... Anyone on the same page as me, or still non-beleivers?

i don't think there are PS2 GAMES on the PS Store. GOD 1 and 2 are PS3 games (they have been recoded)

Are you talking about the ps2emu and ps1emu folders on the root of the hd?
