He was being very helpful with claryfying how this could be utilized for the end user, and he was (by _far_) the first I saw mentioning anything, about running backups via BD-Emu on DEX PS3's, and yea, as you say he was right about it all. Sadly I didn't see that post he might have made about making a fake patch for those games without one official, but on the other hand, it is more than most likely that I havent seen all of his posts, as that thread got far long after some time. Btw, actually I also saw him making his own thread, describing the method in this thread days ago. It was in a more rough draft shape than this, but it was still possible to understand. If you are on DEX 4.11, you can downgrade without hardware flasher. DEX allows you to go up and down in the firmwares like a bicyclepump baby! ofc, remember not to pull too far out in the bicyclepump or you will break it. You cannot go lower than the factory firmware version. Yuppie yup! AND, if you don't know if there is a patch out for it, here is a trick so that you can know: (perhaps this would be smart to add to the first page, so that people could find out themselves, if there was a patch out for the game they are thinking on?) First, You find out the title ID of your game(alot of title IDs are on the "ps3 compability list".. <-- google that without quotes), for instance BCES01503 (Ratchet and Clank HD collection) and BCES01010 (Twisted Metal) Second, you insert them in this string: https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/<DucksAreGreat>/<DucksAreGreat>-ver.xml Substituting <DucksAreGreat> with the titleid, so R&C HD Collection ends up looking like this: https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/...S01503-ver.xml and Twisted metal ends up looking like this: https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/...S01010-ver.xml Third, If there is a result(meaning a page with XML text shows), you are in luck a patch it out, if not you are not, yet. There are more links that can be used than just that one. Perhaps it would be wise, if you variate them, and use the other ones too. I don't know what could happen, but for the hell of it, safety first, as it can never hurt. The other links: http://b0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tppkg/np/<DucksAreGreat>/<DucksAreGreat>-ver.xml (Alternate Server #1 for Retail) http://b0.ww.prod-qa.dl.playstation.net/tppkg/prod-qa/<DucksAreGreat>/<DucksAreGreat>-ver.xml (Alternate Server #2 for Retail) Those links was not anyone I had on my computer, I just quickly found them from a Google search, on a site that must not be mentioned here. If you decide to update the frontpage news with this, and you want the soruce, then here goes.. I have retardized the link(and added a space you will have to remove yourself), so it wont get ambushed in the filter: http://www.ps3no(=e)wc(s).com/ forums/ps3-guides-tutorials/how-download-ps3-game-update-packages-your-pc-114304.html#ixzz20vEU135n

Thanks very much oPolo!
