(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});New from a group of anonymous developers: PS3MFW (Modified Firmware) Builder v0.2! What you’ll find most interesting are the new tasks available for completely modding out your firmware. Introduced are privacy patches, a similar spoofing mechanism to rebug’s (understand: no PSN access) and others tasks catered to specific situations, like flashing a PS3 with a busted Blu-ray drive or converting a demo unit (store kiosks) to a retail model.
o get PS3MFW building modified PUPs you need these prerequisites:
The latest version of ps3tools
Tcl/Tk 8.5
And you then need PS3MFW itself and its available tasks.
If you’re unsure what’s what I’d suggest you wait until someone creates an easy-to-use package specific to your platform.
New task breakdown
patch_privacy.tcl – PS3 collects a large amount of personal information while it’s operating. Additionally personal information is sent to many domain names when internet access is enabled (unrelated to PSN access). This task prevents PS3 from sending any data to the domain names you select.
broken_bluray.tcl – Allows you to remove Blu-Ray firmware installation so that the MFW can be installed without a working Blu-Ray drive. This is potentially dangerous if used on a PS3 with a working drive, and should only be used if the drive is broken.
spoof_version.tcl – Allows changing the firmware version the PS3 appears to be on, similar to the rebug spoofer.
change_coldboot_files.tcl – Advanced users only: Allows changing the sound played and image shown during the boot process. Caution: If improper files are used, this can cause a “brick”.
change_ssl_cer.tcl – Allows changing of SSL certificates.
change_theme.tcl – Can be used to replace the default “Airbrush” theme with another theme file (.p3t format).
patch_shop.tcl – Creates firmware to transform demo PS3s (the units used in stores) into full retail PS3s, without the need for service mode!
