SKFU updated his blog with more information from the news we posted yesterday.

To quote:

All information should be free. So here another part of the Custom Firmware research.

My previous post already explained some changes they enable. One nice one I didn't mention yet is, that it activates the Debug Options.



The options are enabled now, just the icon is missing. But there is a different way you can handle them. As we already knew, the xregistry.sys (dev_flash2/etc) stores all actual settings.

With the changes mentioned in last post, if you tried those; you may have noticed a debug message in the upper right corner. This actually proves the debug options are unlocked to use.

Just extract the xregistry.sys now and find the debug options. Activate them with a 1 instead a 0. I didn't test all so far, but seems most is fine.

I hope the day of ps3 cfw release draws near...

[roseysdaddy]

yeah, sounds like were one step closer.

im really hoping, and maybe im way off, but sony filed for a software patent on ps2 emulation recently. im they release it as part of the ps3 fw in the future and the scene takes it and implements it like they did with the ps1 stuff for psp.

If I could just get my ps3 to stay in debug mode I would be happy lol. Then I could load it without have to use the jailbreak every time.

I take it this is only for debug firmware again?

[gizmo1908]

if there is no way to extract a update file then it wont happen with the ps2 emulator. You cant extract the file so you cant add anything of it to youre ps3. If that would be possible we could extract 3.50 and do the same as the PSP. Play newer FW enabled games on old firmware.

Hope it will happen sometime tho

I remember back with geo hot that there was a Nand patcher that let you fake your FW version..If we could possibly write to the nand with a JBps3 then perhaps we could implement that hack for many things updates downgrades etc...???

has anyone released a debug fw for us to test this with??

Let me see you write a decent software implementation of a nand writer this early in the game and not worry about the potential consequences of using completely untested software on your $400 console's brain.
