andbey0nd as you requested, hopefully this will help some people. Although it is almost everything you said word for word in your release notes.


credit to @Marsha223 for the fix.

(although I thought everyone already knew you had to run as admin when the ps3gen 3.6 backup method was released) >.<

In step 5 it says "Flash your DEX EID0 NOR/NAND file (DEX-FLASH.EID0.NORBIN or DEX-FLASH.EID0.NANDBIN file on /dev_usb000 stick)" but it doesn't say to connect the USB device until step 7.

How will it flash it to usb000 if it isn't connected until step 7?

I'm just making sure the steps are correct before I jump in.

Thanks for all the tuts!

When i try emulating my USB to a BD it gives me an error. I've tried both quick format and full format. I'm on REX 4.21.1

This also means, now we can play games that require a disc on drive without a disc. Amazing!

Yep, you've actually been able to play games on a disc since the ps3's launch date.
