How difficult is it to get PS1 games to boot from the harddrive. (Unable to look at some of the resourses at work due to sites being blocked etc.)
there are a few games i would love to beable to just have saved on the harddrive similar to how Ps1 classics are ahndled.
And info or personal experiences would be great

Only possible with the CobraUSB atm.
BTW, wiki is down for maintenance atm. Once it is back up, it should work fine for all those having issues.
Edit: And now the server died too :'( Will hopefully be back up soon.

Thinking about doing this on my second ps3, I assume you lose netflix though right?
Yes.

So N.A., on the backup compatibility list does the Ebootfix column now refer to a game working on CFW 3.55 with a patched eboot? I notice that Max Payne 3 has now been changed to a "No" entry for that column so I'm assuming that's what it is.
Maybe a clarifying note at the top would be useful so that people don't confuse it with the TrueBlue column (since previously it looked like that was happening with the Max Payne entry among others).
Keep up the good work with pshomebrew, it's a fantastic resource.

If a game works on 3.55 it says yes in internal/external. If it needs a patch, it's in the notes. If you can patch it yourself with ebootfix then that is marked.

Does anybody know if any cheat packages or methods have been released for Just Cause 2? Out of all of my games that's probably the one that would be the most fun with cheats.
Why does it say "no" in internal/external for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, Bodycount, Dead Island, etc., when those games have had fixes released?
It hasn't been updated yet.
It's true but very few games are playable. It's possible the PS2 Classics on PSN emulator will be hacked in the future though that would bring much better compatibility.Tess3ract said:

Are machines on fw 4.20 downgradable, or is that coming soon?
If you have the right hardware.
I think my hard drive may be failing.. Will I lose CFW if I replace the drive?
I think I read that as long as I made a USB key with the firmware I'm running (3.55) then I would be able to install it on the new drive.. But I've read conflicting information so I was hoping someone had an answer.
FYI I have to periodically rebuild the database.. I just had some installed games corrupted last night.

Hopefully a Yakuza Dead Souls patch is out soon, I've had that game sitting on my shelf for months without being able to play it.

Can anyone recommend some good plugins for Showtime? I hear there's a YouTube one which is very good.

All the patches out there for Ass Creed Revelations is for the euro version; I have the north american version. Anyone know if an american patch exists or how I would make the euro one work with my copy?
Changing your param.sfo game id to the euro version should work.

Okay ill give that a shot thank you N.A. 
I have them @ PS3SceneFiles and I listed their gameID's. You can see for what region the patch is intended to. But if you replace the eboot, and modify the DiscID in the PARAM.SFO to the DiscID the patch is intended for most of the time the patch just works fine.

So didn't they say all keys we're going to be released? Or did they only have 3.60?

I have three dumb questions.
1) How do I check what kind of CFW I have? (It's been a while since I've played with it)
2) I haven't kept up so should I upgrade it? To what?
3) Is it possible to play prototype code on my CFW PS3? I find betas fascinating.

In answer to my own question, it seems like there are two by facanferff that are highly regarded:
- Navi-X
- YouTube Plugin HD
Others might be able to give you better answers, but AFAIK:
- I don't think there is a simple way if you can't remember which one you installed. Kmeaw was the most common. I'm not sure if there are any ways to tell the difference between kmeaw and rogero, or that other buggy one with the silly name (133t or rap inspired I think). If you have Rebug I think some of the menus are different so you might be able to eliminate that one as a possibility.
- I think Rebug is considered the best of the 3.55 CFWs, possibly because it had some extra DVD region settings as well as some extra firmware spoofing options or something like that. It was the last one to come along (a fair while after the others).
- DEX consoles can run unsigned code which is probably what you're after. So you might need to do a CEX to DEX conversion.

Is there any way to remove xmb icons like: what's new, Internet search, online instruction manual, etc?

Showtime version 4 is supposed to be released shortly. Also we're expecting 3.70+ keys from the E3 team guys eventually I think.
Most of the things I'm after have already been released now, although I wouldn't mind seeing a CFW with the Sony web blocks built in (to avoid firmware update prompts and the risk that someone other than me might say "yes" to one) and a simple XMB menu item for changing DVD and Blu-ray region.
Here's what I don't understand.
Homebrew scenes live and die by the number of people who are able to reliably, safely use the software.
Yet for most people, this CFW is impossible because of the official firmware they have. In the OP, it mentions downgrading which is beyond the scope of this topic (as if it's some taboo subject).
It just seems like an oddly self-defeating proposition.

Downgrading requires complete disassembly of your PS3 and then some fairly intricate soldering of stuff to the motherboard. It's not something that most people can do for themselves even with perfect instructions.
The PS3 scene seems horrible. Outdated firmware, so you can't even keep up with features and new games. Can you log in to PSN? Barely any real good homebrew projects other than a media player (a lot easier to just get a Roku or aTV) and USB loader, which is a waste on a system like PS3 where you can download games to the HDD anyway, the games are so large...
Seems like a huge waste of time to me. And this is someone who modded their PS2, Wii, PSP, DS, iPhone, etc.
The USB loader would be cool if all the games worked and it significantly reduced load times and I don't think it accomplishes either of those things.
I won't lie, I am talking out my ass. I skimmed the thread. Feel free to correct me.

You dont need a own CFW for the update stuff. You can just use a spoofer. You need a new spoofer for each new OFW that comes out though, but OFW doesnt get released very often.
If you dont care about having games booting from the harddrive, emulators and Showtime (media player), then there isnt much left to the PS3 scene indeed. PSN doesnt work.
Personally i could never give up PSN access for CFW. I remember during the PSN hack, the PS3 felt much more "empty"/boring without PSN access, and that was "just" for 5-6 weeks. It also means that you cant buy PSN games either. I only play a few game at the time, so switching discs happen rarely. I also hardly use emulators or media players. But for people who play retail single player mostly, it shouldnt be much of a problem.

I agree, and I'm also someone who usually likes to mod and toy with my stuff. You know it's bad when the only decent news in here is "look we can play _______ game that everyone else could play for a year finally"

One of the special thing about Journey is also the online component, people would miss out on this on CFW even if it was playable. Still an amazing game offline though, but the online part is what makes it extra special in my opinion.

I just read up on this and apparently you need a machine that can still run OtherOS to achieve this. I just updated the firmware on my one PS3 with OtherOS on it not one month ago... ;-;
Dragon's Dogma, Prototype 2 and a proper fix for MGS HD collection released by a group that isn't Duplex.
Also, a full undub patch for Tales of Graces F has been released.
I'm not going to recommend a complex hardware downgrade mod that has a very good chance at bricking if you are not experienced, From past GAF homebrew threads it seems that only concentrating on the safe methods is the way to go.

Its possible without OtherOS too. You must be on firmware 3.55 or lower though.
