Questions about True Blue (JB2).... I know nothing
 

About to get a ps3, I know nothing about this and I have a few questions.

1) do i have to buy True Blue or JB2 dongle? if so which is better?

2) if I buy them, are upgrades always free?

3) do they support all games? if not where can I see the games supported?


Also would this allow me to use old PS1/PS2 games ?

Thanks A lot!

well if you want recent games (some not all of them) the answer to your first question is yes, but you can run your backups without the TB dongle. i mean old games not brand new ones.

2) yes if there´s any update

3) no not all of them

regarding your ps1-2 question: you can play ps1 games without the dongle you just need to get your game disk as hdd support is not enabled yet.

ps2 games nope unless you have an old fashion BC console

Awesome thanks for the simple answers.

Is there anywhere I can see which newer games are supported by True Blue?

Simplest answer, its a pile of junk....

I may be mistaken, but you still need a machine that has 3.55 Firmware, so you can't just go buy a machine and use the TB. If I'm wrong please correct me.

What exactly is a pile of junk? True Blue or PS3?


Does that mean it wont work if I buy a new PS3? Can I downgrade the firmware?

Obviously im talking about true blue, you are paying to pirate games, you are also letting yourself be raped by the DRM that the TB devs put on the device.

People who buy tb = stupid :)

For someone who knows nothing.....like me...... What is the better option?

I am thinking of capitalizing on back friday and get a new PS3. So I am guessing it comes with the newest Firmware.

my advice read up before you do anything

flashing looks easy but looking at all the posts of bricked ps3's due to the E3 flasher it fails way to much

progskeet flasher is soldered (haven't seen many shops where you can buy the solderless kit yet)

so unless you have some soldering skills and the patiance you can downgrade
to 3.55

but theres a downside the new ps3's in the 3000 range have the new metldr
so they can't be downgraded yet (anyone correct me if wrong pls)

and thetrue blue dongle im with GregoryRasputin on that one
it's junk

Thanks....

So basically I cant do jack with the new PS3 unless its downgraded.

Since I never soldered anything before...its best bet to wait for a solderless downgrade.

Once a downgrade can be made, what should I look into if true blue is junk?
