Yup, I totally agree....but I had a duo9ultra for my ps2, so I know all about small solder-points. these don't look any smaller than most modchips require you to solder to.

I think people can be quite calm over the small solder-points because when (or if) it will work then it will probably be create such "clips" to the NAND chips as to the modchips for the Wii, and then every noob that can handle a screwdriver to unscrew the ps3 to it by his/her own (and a little bit soldering knowledge to the cable to the ground ofc...)

Once this is full ready, then I will be offering and small service to do this in my local area, after I upload a video of how I do it.

They had that about a year a go Sixty http://www.ps3hax.net/2010/09/jaicra...s-for-ps3-cfw/ the only catch is that you need to be able to copy the contents of dev_flash/ to a USB storage medium to use it => it will not work for firmwares which aren't already hacked as we can't get at the content of dev_flash. It was the basis for early 'emulated' custom firmwares before we could flash them.

Other than that this is also a theoretical solution to the dual firmware problem...but it won't run with a pup like you're suggesting...and we don't have dumps from 3.6x to use with it. (though who knows if we could come up with an arrangement to read the second nand storage from within linux using the above hack it might allow us to get dumps? or would there be a problem there?)

Acording to my understanding all pf that will change if we ever get the Mltrdr key - at which point getting at the unencrypted contents of newer firmwares should be relatively easy....

Oh and no reply as yet on whether the author has dual firmwares running. I'll keep my eyes on the original thread and report back as soon as he replies. :-)

There not as good as people think, and they can spring off when your flashing, and the contacts on the ps3 are to small to clip to. Soldering is the only safe way due to none intermittent contacts.

wow fantastic news, great job keep up the work, i cant wait to see it in action, dosent matter even if its 2 OFW

love where the scene is going past few weeks

[DKO-]

Awesome! I admire the effort and skills in this project.

[squishy]

To the hardware newbies. This is actually dooable for anyone who is willing to practice and has the patience. The points look pretty straight forward. Practice practice practice. You are going to want a decent precision tip soldiering pen style iron with constant power, I prefer a GOOT, here is the pen I would recommend - http://www.bomir.com/online/?sub=87 . Something like that, its cheap, and not your every day radioshack special. Get an exacto, a removal tool, flux, high power magnifier on and arm with a bright light, and start practicing. What to practice on?? Name it, hell, smash an old cell phone lol. Point is, anyone can do it, and once you learn, it is a very viable skill in the scene.

Most of the homebrewers on this site do not want or need 3.66cfw. Stop making demands

[hackoncrack]

well if this works...then ill look pretty silly with my two ps3s...lol

i hope its BS ;D
