Is their anything I can do with 4.11?

I have a fat 4.11 ps3. My son broke the disc drive by jamming as many games as possible so I took it out of the kids rooms and didn't know what to do with it. I was wondering with the new firmware is their anything I can do to get all the old system emulators on there so I can play some old school games on there? I don't need any PSN access at all so I don't mind not being able to play games online. After reading I noticed most people were saying there's no way to jailbreak and go online with 4.11. But can I somehow just get the emulators on there? And if so, what process would I have to take? Thanks for the help.

You may be able to downgrade your PS3 to 3.55. Since that is the highest hackable firmware. Depends on whether your PS3 came new with 3.55 or lower. You can use minimum version check pup, to see the lowest possible firmware for your console.

Then you will need a hardware flasher to downgrade. Look here.

Wow, that seems like a ton of work. Any other suggestions on what I could do with it since that doesn't seem worth it? I wished they still had other OS but they don't. Now it's just being used for PS3 Media Server.

if it can be jailbroken....pay someone like playerkp420 to downgrade it for you, then u can get all the emulators and even play backups that dont need disc in drive like all the psn games and some other regular games like fifa 12, etc.

since we're talking about what to do with a simi broken ps3 and old school emulators. I've been wondering if you could use a ps3 as the bases of a mame arcade?
