I have been running 3.60+ games since months ago, but I won't share the method, but if someone figures it out, remember that I was the first one and I deserve the credits

And I've been around the homebrew and coding scene since long before the PS3 even existed. There were no dongles for the PSP. I never supported the modchips for the PS2 or PS1, either. Free and shared or GTFO. I don't believe in paying money for what amounts to illegal/pirate gear. Call me superstitious, or just plain stubborn - but the only reason people buy these products is because they enable piracy. I know, I know. people will make dumb argumetns that the code in these things isn't Sony's copyrighted material, etc. Still, the only thing they provide is access to piracy - even if there is no Sony proprietary code in there. I can't fault anyone for wanting to back up their games, or play from copies, or even some piracy within reason. But I don't think anyone in this scene should be PROFITING from that piracy.
Allowing or enabling piracy is one thing, charging for it is entirely another.
