does anyone know how you can play games that require 4.46 firmware on a console that has 4.41 without updating the console?

can you easily patch the game?

MultiMan will/should automatically patch that for you, just load as normal and MM will say something along the lines of "This game requires 4.46, patching..." etc

Does this also mean that i can buy any PS3 retail game in the store, copy it to HDD, patch it with MM and play it, sabin?

To the best of my knowledge, yes actually Smile As long as you're on CFW, MM will take care of eboot/param fixing automatically. Cyclone can explain in greater detail, just in case there is an anomalous game that doesn't get automatically fixed due to an unknown klic.

I tend to stay on the highest FW I can do just so that I don't have to worry about patching or dealing with things like that. It doesn't really matter, MM is all automated (or the standalone apps too) but still... there's always that.... "need" to stay updated Very Happy

Thanks Sabin Smile I think i'm one CFW version behind since as far as i know it didn't add anything extra and i didn't felt like updating again Smile

With the release of GTA V and the expensive undertaking of importing Asian games I was looking into jailbreaking my PS3 Slim, while it would be a bit of an undertaking it looked relatively easy.

The problem is, I am quite partial to my PSN account, name, plus subscription and trophys that go along with it. So I don't think I will Jailbreak it.

Do you think the developer scene for the PS3 will ever find a way of playing 'game demos' without the risk of getting console or id banned? I realise that no-one could really answer that easily, but could it be a possibility?

Also I was looking at the topic of burning PS3 games, Am I to understand correctly the factories burn the game with code or specific disc features so the public couldn't replicate it on there own blu-ray drive at home? Would it be possible in the future to be able to replicate the process as to burn a disc that an ofw PS3 would deem authentic?

Thanks!

@Jonhy

You're welcome matey Smile

@hmmisee

If you don't want to, or can't, Jailbreak then your only option for... *cough* ISOdemos will be an ODE such as Cobra or 3K3Y. They can be installed on any model PS3 and will let you play ISOs from external HDD. As for being able to burn 100% accurate ones indistinguishable by the PS3 from legitimate? I would say never. It never happened for PS1, PS2, Xbox, GC, etcetera. Home burners simply cannot auth the discs properly. You could buy a Katana (GD Writer) that worked for the Dreamcast though.

Thank-you for the quick and informative reply sabin1981!

I will look at ODE devices for the PS3. A quick question, can your console id or psn get banned for playing ISODemos using one?

Eghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... that's a tough question. ODEs are very new at the moment, so there hasn't been enough time to really see how Sony will respond. I would say there's always the chance, that's just the price you pay for piracy, but whether Sony WILL ban you or not.. well, only time will tell and with the PS4 out in two months, they may simply stop pursuing the matter so fiercely. I would say the risk is about equal with the 360 and backups.

As far as I know, the "official" Cobra and 3K3Y launchers are spoofed as demo discs so that when you run the launcher, it shows to the world that you're running a PS3 demo, then you have to reboot your system to play the new that you select from the launcher "ISOdemo" Wink MultiMAN is now compatible with Cobra ODE and 3K3Y, thanks to a recent update, and that is also stealth spoofed too afaik.

I think I will wait at the moment for more info about ODEs. Would you be able to get trophys on the 'demos'? Thanks.

Have you ever used or know someone that has used an ODE Sabin? Do you have an opinion on which ODE is better, the Cobra or 3k3y? They do look pretty good but I don't know if people have been banned for using one.

I don't, I'm afraid. Everyone I know uses CFW. As for which is better? 3K3Y is from a team with a greater pedigree for ODEs but Cobra are pretty good also. Both seem pretty much equal in terms of features and performance.

How much of an effect will I see when I replace the original HDD in a fat PS3 (so really, really old) with a new HDD? I'm not really looking for space since I put on 1-2 games at most. Is it worth it for loading/streaming speed?

No, not really. If you're not hard up for space then the performance gains from switching the original drive to a better one are negligible unless it's an SSD. GT5 is really the only game that benefits from faster seek times, the rest are 2-3s at best and often not even that.

Not what I expected, I'd have thought a faster drive would've been more beneficial (if I get my hands on an SSD that sucker is going in my PC Smile). Thanks for the info.

Surprising isn't it? I was expecting a larger performance jump as well, back when I upgraded my stock 60GB to a Spinpoint M7-640GB. Barely any jump except for really heavy loading games like GT5, but even that was a few seconds at most.

E3-Team has announced more information about their own ODE (Very Happy), this one supposedly allows you to launch backup games without rebooting like the Cobra/3K3Y ODEs need to do.

I can buy a used WD 320GB HDD, I don't know whether I should do it. It depends on how easy/fast it'll be to backup and replace the old HDD. There are enough guides but can someone tell me how long it usually takes? If I'll be spending two hours dicking around I won't do it.

Yeah, 2 hours and then some I'm afraid. Sony backup>transfer shit is laughably slow, you're looking at around 2 hours for backing up the 60GB to a USB/external drive and then another hour and a half to put the content back on your new 320GB drive.

you can do it, but it won't change anything.

It could only speed up your XMB, but that's all.
