Then you've got to buy SwapMagic, right? I'd prefer a solution that works with this CFW stuff..Zoe said:PS2 Loader works with SwapMagic on BC consoles. No modification required for the PS3.
Everyone is essentially saying the same thing - DON'T GO ON PSN.Zombie James said:Back from vacation and this is the first thread I see, very exciting stuff! Quick question since I haven't read though all 20-something pages yet: How can/does/will the CFW affect PSN (purchasing games, playing online)?
TheOctagon said:For what it's worth, I'm going to design a consistent UI for the various emulators, assuming they quickly evolve into something akin to Xport's emulators for Xbox. Nothing overly flashy, no sprites doing the conga while Yoshi humps the Nintendo logo, just an elegant list that happily takes over from the XMB.
Interested?

kamorra said:Last Blade 2 and Metal Slug were the first games I tried today. Both run pretty good.
Jocchan said:Since the same two questions, "can I go on PSN?" (who knows, for now you'd better not) and "what about software PS2 emulation?" (almost no chance), keep popping up multiple times in every page, maybe adding a small FAQ to the OP and asking people to read it would be a good idea.

Haven't tried the NGCD version. However if it's blood you want you can just turn on the "Cruel Fight" dip to enable blood.Brobzoid said:NGCD version specifically? I used to play the arcade version, but the ngcd version is the optimal one. I need dat blood and bestest music! Don't want my fighters lactating.
Zoe said:OP already says not to go onto PSN. Doubt it would stop people from asking about PS2 either.

Sony's NPD is going to see a boost hahasajj316 said:hardware sales + 1
My original 60GB upgraded to 320 GB will be "DO EVERYTHING"
H_Prestige said:Is it possible to install another region's FW onto a ps3? And if so, would that allow you to play that region's ps2/ps1 games?
Zoe said:Firmware is universal. Regions are hardware-based.
On boot the system contacts the server and uploads the play list etc. this list alone is enough to get anyone that goes online banned as it shows the bootmanger etc. has been running. Here is the list and what they do, I port sniffed this a while ago before I went online with a retail unit >.> because I am not stupid hehe.
fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > Update Server (sys updates)
mercury.dl.playstation.net > What's new ads
nsx.np.dl.playstation.net > playstation store preview
nsx-e.np.dl.playstation.net > ads
(main file exchange connections)
us.np.stun.playstation.net > on boot initiates connection
ena.net.playstation.net > SSLv3 connection after above connection
dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > secondary update attempt (could force updates)
auth.np.ac.playstation.net > SSLv3 authentication server
(destination servers)
service.playstation.net (has multiple IPs if only the ip address is blocked)
(Error Reporting)
creepo.ww.hl.playstation.net (uploads crash reports etc.)
Almost all connections cannot just be port blocked, the port will continue to increment until it connects, you have to block the entire domains. Also a big point is that ALL computers on your network need to have these blocked not just the PS3's MAC because if you are running a proxy for example to get patches, the computer you proxy to will just allow the connections right out to the open unless all local IPs are blocked from these sites as well.

Bracing for banhammerz
badcrumble said:Someone should make a simple utility to clear the pushlist or figure out how to stop it from being written to (with a simple on/off function). I think that's the only thing, aside from running CFW, that could get Sony to detect you at this point in time.
edit: according to a poster on SomethingAwful, the pushlist files are dev_hdd0\home\00000001\etc\boot_history.dat, dev_hdd0\vsh\pushlist\game.dat and dev_hdd0\vsh\pushlist\patch.dat
Also note that it's not just a matter of not going on PSN, since the consoles report to a whole bunch of Sony servers (as noted in your post). If you really want to play it safe, you have to disable online connectivity (or as mentioned previously, block the playstation.net domain and hope that's the only one Sony uses).Mr_Brit said:The Banhammer May Be Coming
Surprising absolutely noone it looks like Sony are detecting homebrew applications meaning that everyone who went on PSN with a jailbroken console can expect to be banned eventually. That ban may come tommorow or it may come in 6 months time but it will almost certainly eventually come.
H_Prestige said:So how exactly would a CFW disable the region locks?
badcrumble said:Right, but as I said in this post:
The lists that get sent to Sony can be edited and/or cleared.
But yeah, everyone who's been doing this already (without constantly clearing their pushlist) and has been connected to the Internet is basically gonna get banned, probably.

Mr_Brit said:The Banhammer May Be Coming
Surprising absolutely noone it looks like Sony are detecting homebrew applications meaning that everyone who went on PSN with a jailbroken console can expect to be banned eventually. This is definitely not the only way that Sony can detect jailbroken systems so we'll never truly ever know if it's going to be safe to go online. That ban may come tommorow or it may come in 6 months time but it will almost certainly eventually come.

gregor7777 said:The idea here gentlemen is to not go on to PSN with anything you wouldn't want banned.
Wait until the dev community gets the security in place figured out.
Nothing has changed. Sony gets info from your console when it goes online. It's pretty foolish to think they aren't recording that data to use in the future in some capacity.
Big One said:The real question is: Would they actually do something about it?
I mean that practically destroys a good portion of their userbase. The PS3 still doesn't have the active online communities of the 360 to warrant such a strict thing and could potentially weed out consumers that Sony needs to keep the system alive. People are now actually purchasing PS3's all over the web now that the system has been cracked, whether it's for homebrew features or even piracy.
Just a thought, at least. With the 360, you have a huge, active userbase and also online features you have to pay for, so in the long run banning a console for homebrew doesn't hurt Microsoft that much.
YOU ARE A MONSTER FOR DOING THIS TO MY GLORIOUS PREVIOUS-GEN SPRITES. But yes, this will be possible.Cruzader said:Back from work. I was just curious, will emulators get cool filters that make sprites look "round"? This is good for HDTVs or playing small rez games onto a Monitor/tv.
I remember my brother playing Zleda GB on his DC once and man, the image on the TV looked just like the GC pocket screen just in TV size!!!(320x240 or something) Like it wasnt pixelated but looked smooth and I was impressed!
Any way this will happen to PS3 emulators? Playing GBA game with similar filter could make me jizz all over.
