I beg of you to forgive my ignorance, but what is the point of it? Don't get me wrong, I'm probably the king of doing pointless mods with whatever I fancy just "because i can", is this one of those?

I only recently decided to order an E3 flasher but I don't consider myself green on the device. Just want to know if this was done to make a step or process easier in downgrading or something

If your ps3 is ylod/bricked/whatever you can still read/write NOR.

If you don't want to turn it on for whatever reason, you can still read/write NOR.

If you have spare chips or need to replace the chips, you can program them with the E3.

Most things are untested and I sold a version with a tsop adapter on it so I have to make a new guide re: that.

But so far I have made the usb into 3.3v 500ma and added an external plug for 3.3v via a custom cable which is 1A.

I used that custom cable for the -- 2nd? 3rd? picture where the e3 isnt plugged in via USB.

I power the NOR on the PS3 directly - negating the E3 and the requirement of a PSU.

E3 can still be programmed via the PC.

This makes the downgrading process a lot easier! Nice.

That's really great! It'd cut down on the downgrade process time.

About the pic without USB, I couldn't find the plug, can you describe where it's located?

[Mr.Dutch]

btw, those people that have lost ps3's, can use it as a good 3,3V power supply.

If you decide to release a tut soon on how to power the e3 flasher through usb I will pay you an expensive beer

This is really interesting! and would be extremely useful for me when flashing consoles.

i already downgraded 5 console without assembling.but still its risky for fat..because of the ylod..here is the pic may be it will help someone..

Uhhh you're missing the point ENTIRELY. Try actually reading the topic and posts I have made.
