Someone port OpenTTD with move support and I'll bite!

For a second there I thought it read OpenTTP with move support. TTP to show GAF some very cool Move Homebrew apps :)

[ClovingWestbrook]

heh, quick stab, but there's some symbology to it :) didn't read the required size, but i think removing the text and leaving the open 'ps home' logo could work :) look, it even has the 'web2.0 reflection' !!1 so i guess it meets all modern design canons

Fantastic job! Would you be for creating a banner for this thread?

This was not working before, he got it running from the XMB, even updated it from Sonys servers.

POP TFS didn't work for anyone. Don't confuse it with the new POP-Trilogy 3D. That one is an old title (like Assassin's Creed I). Now I'll check if AC-1 works the same way, too **** POP TFS - even asked for internet update to the latest version Installed its HDD data and is up and running.

The backup method that deank is showing is just a better organized version of the method that has been around for a few days that involves hex editing the path of the files to point to the HDD. The only way this will be really useful is if there is an automated process that does it and the compatibility is much improved (it's much lower than the old method).

But the current method just looks much nicer. I wish we get a better automated version of it with about the same compatibility as the older backupmanagers.

I think Geohot is sucking up to Sony, angling for a job. :lol

He's wearing a white hat for them and also showing them ways they could have added additional layers of security.

About that going online, how do we know that the PS3 sends a "latest games played report" and how long is it?
I don't really care for online so just played some FFVI on my ps3 while being online (OFW), it was pretty cool to see it running on the background while browsing ingame xmb.

Did geohot actually put in whatever stops them from poking around in the lv2?

I read the quotes as he says that it's bad, and he tells people to make their programs work without poking. But i must have missed where he says that it's his fault that it doesn't work.

People for some reason what concluded that from him saying:

< @geohot> my anti lv2 patching isn’t just anti piracy

Which I took as him saying that his stance against patching lv2 wasn't just to prevent piracy but because it wouldn't work. 3.55 includes some sort of memory protection and people are unable to get peek and poke working so naturally they assume it couldn't be Sony's doing.

[badcrumble]

Didn't he say earlier that trying to patch lv2 basically bricks your console? He might just be trying to prevent that from happening so the dev scene can work on other projects for now instead of having a bunch of bricked PS3s they can't work on.

[Fjolle]

From IRC: < @geohot> my anti lv2 patching isn’t just anti piracy

Oh... I totally missed that quote o.0

But.. Without any further context couldn't it be interpreted as he is personally against people patching the lv2, not just because it is used for piracy but because it's ugly, instead of "he has actively patched the lv2 to be borken"?

But if it gives him a stiff to be fucking around with pirates for a couple of days then let him have his fun.

E: Yea, Angel said the same thing.

[JaseC]

I'm sure I read somewhere that OFW 3.55 introduced write protection on lv2, which is why everybody is having trouble with it. If so, Geohot's comment is being both misunderstood and blown out of proportion.

[Wazzim]

Whatever it is, I hope that prevents people from pirating on it. It's fine as it is now, homebrew only.

[Beer Monkey]

People shouldn't complain about anything that Geohot has done since you can still go back to vanilla 3.55.

Backup functionality is going to happen, and of course Geohot realizes this.

Now that the keys are out, there are no circimventions that can't be reversed engineered and removed.

Speculation is that Geohot has intentionally crippled his CFW so we can't run backup managers. Some think he's doing it to impress hardware companies so they'll give him a job.

That's funny because I was just about to ask how to do this, BUT it's not working for me.

First off, I'm sure I'm still on 3.55 jailbreak CFW, but the system settings say I am on 3.55 vanilla. And when I try to install the update from my USB drive, it says no applicable update data found. Any tips?

[angelfly]

Deleting folders isn't really necessary especially if you plan on using homebrew once you switch to OFW.

Recovery menu should work.

1. Make sure the PS3 is turned off,
2. Press and hold the power button on the PS3 it will power on then power off.
3. When it's off press and hold the power button again until you hear two consecutive beeps.
4. It will ask for the controller to be connected via the USB cable,
5. Turn on the controller and you will have access to the menu.

Let me know if it does and I'll add it to the wiki.

I was assuming this was for removing all evidence after people were worried about banning. I'll edit it to show how to go back to OFW and keep homebrew.

I was able to revert to 3.55 vanilla simply by doing a regular system update. My stick has directories for both JB and vanilla, and I rename them based on which one I want to install.

I wonder why system update doesn't work for some people.

You want to make sure that your USB is FAT-32? I wasn't aware of it, so I updated using a SD Card, but I then tried to format my USB key as FAT-32 since it seems impossible to install custom packages from SD cards.

And yeah, I'm not sure why it didn't work from the XMB system update option.

Looks like graf_chokolo (one of the best PS3 hackers of the past few months) has helped flukes1 with peek/poke.

I used lv1_undocumented_:function_114, just one byte must be patched in this HV call and after that you can use it to map any memory address into GameOS LPAR with Read/Write protection. <netkas> Look at my HV reversing page, i explaided there how to use this HV call. <netkas> no, email <c0de90e7> :0 chokolo ftw ! <flukes1> interesting <netkas> flukes1, does ur pm works atm <netkas> ? <flukes1> yes <repmovsb> mmh sounds like a good approach <repmovsb> patch this function <flukes1> yep <flukes1> we're waiting for him to reply <flukes1> soon as I know where lv1_undocumented_function_114 is, i can patch and make a pup <c0de90e7> flukes1: netkas: all this fights will not only give us lv2 access or lv1 access, it will pay off far more in the future for future fw patching... for sure <netkas> lv1 access too <repmovsb> i'll also try to find it <repmovsb> if only this fuking machine would be faster <flukes1> 0x2D5990 <repmovsb> working on my laptop <flukes1> patching lv1 as we speak <repmovsb> should have moved to big machine <flukes1> pup will be ready shortly <repmovsb> on 355? <flukes1> yup <flukes1> graf helped us <c0de90e7> :)) exciting moments <repmovsb> flukes1: so you're patching 2d5a47 from 00 to 01? <repmovsb> that's what i would do according to chokolos description <repmovsb> guys keep me in the loop :D <repmovsb> patch 2d5a47 from 00 to 01? <flukes1> yeah sorry mate <flukes1> patch is done

Snes9x New version:

http://www.multiupload.com/ZAZ2SHJP56 Build 4.4.3 (11-01-2011) ------------------------ - Autodetection of Super Scope/Mouse/Multitap had a bug in it - after you loaded a Super Scope/mouse game and then tried to load a multitap-compatible game, the game would attempt to hook up the Mouse/Scope instead due to an error in a switch/case statement. Fixed this. Autodetection now works as expected. Please upgrade to 4.4.3 as soon as possible to avoid inconvenient problems.

Thankfully N.A. posted a link to an xml file that sets the path to USB. Hopefully this will not cause configuration issues in the event the xml file gets updated for future FBA-Next versions. Cross fingers ..

Needless to say the dev team could have done a better job with configuration. For accessibility it would make sense to load from USB and use that as the default path. I get that loading from HD is faster but how much faster could it be?
