That's a trivial thing to get around.
So now that you can run a filemanager on FW 3.55 should I finally go retrieve my locked Demon Souls gamesave from my old PS3 and transfer it to my new one so I don't lose the 30 hours progress?
The bluray drive in my old one died so I can't play the game anymore but it's still good for PSN games and streaming movies.
I had an old GOW3 gamesave that would let you back it up to USB but you couldn't run it on another console. I tried some save/filesave trickery on it and got it working on my new one a few months back.
Has anyone tried to move a DS gamesave to a new console? Any sucesses?

Unless they ban your console.
I'd guess that the more Sony bans consoles, the harder people will work to get them back online, and, if people do figure out a way around that ban, online games will burn. I fully expect Sony to ban a lot of people moving forward, but I also fully expect it to blow up in their face.

I've been thinking Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo should have done this for a while now. It makes perfect sense.
You get a lot of functionality out of the hardware, more reasons for people to buy it, more software available, and it would discourage unofficial homebrew to an extent by creating sanctioned homebrew.

I've been digging around on the back pages and on the psgroove site, does anyone have a link to the signed VBA package?

Well I went with it and it's great so far. Have a bunch of my Snes and Genesis games running . But FBANext isn't working for me? I put the roms in zipped state in the roms folder inside the FBAN directory.. inside the directory of the program itself I didn't create a roms folder myself if you know what I mean.
Tried 3rd Strike but it says No Roms Found?
That makes me a sad camper but I'll keep trying.
What could I be doing wrong?
Yes please!

in the dev_hd00 make a folder called ROMS. Then inside THAT folder, make another called FBA. Put your roms in FBA.

I know you can sign your own packages but there were people taking 'requests' on what to sign, making me think that you have to prepare it first somehow.

Well the Tales of Graces f demo patcher doesn't work even after being signed so I don't think everything just works although it appears to be the case for other things.BobTheFork said:
I don't see Sony stopping you from using anything you purchased. Sure, they could ban you from PSN but if the games and whatever are already installed, preventing people from using what they bought is just bad news for Sony in goodwill along with potential lawsuits. Along with that, it just forces people to start pirating to get back what they already own (and probably more).yurinka said:
The smart thing to do would be to ban the console from playing online games, but still allow PSN purchases so Sony can still get money from those that don't want to pirate.

I didn't think you could just sign any exe file and for it. Someone already did it I was hoping it was posted somewhere. I'll just sign the exe to try it out I guess. I'll report backInfiniteNine said:

Ok, i see, thanks for the infoivedoneyourmom said:
I dont think that would works since you need to log in to PSN to access the PS Store. I think that Sony would have to make a 2nd "PSN" for this to work.Porthos said:
Depends on how much it costs and how much you are planing on keeping on the harddrive (as in if 40GB is enough for you) =)xtop said:for a guy short on money. would a used 40gb be a good purchase? i had a launch 60 and got the ylod, will i get the same with the 40gb eventually? or was that only a 1st gen thing? all this jailbreak talk has me itching to get a ps3 back

looks like i can score a 40gb for $200. not worried about a hard drive, i've got enough of those around. mostly just worried if i'll end up with a broken system again

Ye, if it's only the console (with hookups and 1 controller) and if it is used, then $200 doesnt sound like a too good of a deal in my opinion, concidering that you can get a brand new PS3 Slim 160GB for $299. Then you have some warranty as well (not sure for how long though).xtop said:

Not to go too much into this discussion, but how are Sony going to distinguish the people who only use their CFW for homebrew and legit stuff from those who arent? Should Sony only ban the people with CFW who have spent very little money on PSN purchases?Keio said:

Added the VBA to the OP.
I have tried keeping up with the thread while at work but am sure I missed some stuff. Trying to update the OP so if anybody could update me with the relevant news that I missed I'd appreciate it.

From what I read the released version isn't working correctly. If it is please correct me but I was going to wait until a more steady version was released.
peek/poke is working, but flukes1 has said on irc that in 3.55 the ps3 hardcrashes after you change anything in the r-x part of lv2 and quit the app. So an iso loader would not work as it would change these memory ranges and crash after going back to the xmb for you to load a game.
he's now comparing 3.50 to 3.55 lv2 looking for differences

I'm going to vote that we have TWO threads, and would like a mod's permission to make it happen.
Thread 1: Actual Talk about PS3 Homebrew, Emulators, getting shit to work, etc.
Thread 2: PS3 CFW Ban Hammer Discussion
This great thread has been hijacked by nonsensical jiberish about "what if sony does this?" and "I bet they can do that!" bullcrap. We need another thread entirely for those that want to talk hypothetical what if scenarios, because I have no interest in reading about anything here EXCEPT progress on CFW and homebrew.
