Wow...how far they've come. Well thanks for giving me a heads up. Someone mentioned installing pkg files onto any FW...and with these new ones, they're unlocked...where would I find more information on this?

these pkg are not unlocked its the EDAT that unlocks them we need to install the EDAT to unlock the games on OFW.... NO EDAT = PSN DEMOS LOL

[RandySavage]

I see...

....

....

I got it! Now I know its easier said than done but what about the Data Transfer Utility.
We have spoofers for Remote Play on a computer, why not this?

Imitate all the directories on a PS3 and then do a transfer

[Asure]

For some reason, when i try to do this, it tells me to go to account management & deactivate my account. But, this option is not present Any tips how to get rid of this message?

Edit: Solved! (Delete act.dat file from exdata..)

Well reading what i fully put would been better then quoting something at the end that finished the information ..

i was saying there are games (Demos) that use the 3.60+ Keys that i bet he could decrypt the edat to that he could release but the only way to play them would be to Transfer them back to the 3.60+ Systems ..

u could never play a 3.60 Encrypted games on 3.55 since the keys are not out to decrypte the eboot.bin files ..

only files ppl can decrypt are 3.56 and lower .. any and all games that are release on psn that are made to work on 3.41 and so on are all using an encryption equal or less of 3.56

so like i stated the only way to play edat hacked 3.60 games would be to transfer them back to a 3.60 :P

instead of writing useless information THATS NOT TRUE go try it out yourself im playing a 3.60 game on my 3.55 CFW NOW

for the SECOND TiME EXEtrimALL releases PKG FiXES for this if you try to boot for example SKYDRIFT (without installing the pkg fix) it says you need to update to 3.60 if you install his PKG FiX it BOOTS ON A 3.55 or 3.41 system which means i was right the 1st time and you can play 3.56+ on a CFW PS3 so i think its you that need to read what you write & check it out before you post useless rubbish & confuse half the noobs here



"so like i stated the only way to play edat hacked 3.60 games would be to transfer them back to a 3.60 :P"

go try SKYDRIFT and see what happens LMAO you will realise your wrong
for the second time i tried explaining this to you if it needs a third i give up ok

ALSO for the noobs out there IF your transfering this game or other like this game (3.56+ games) DONT iNSTALL THE PKG FiXES it wont boot on OFW the pkg fixes just make the games playable on 3.55 & lower

[Asure]

It's a bit confusing indeed, but the games that come with an edat file work. Apparently they can sign the edat so it will work on 3.56+.

The games themselves, from the original sony 'aZjfZnqqZpoA.pkg' links install both on 3.55 and higher versions, so the install PKGS are signed with some key that is universal and seems to work on all firmwares. $ony will probably change that, or has changed it in newer pkg's already. (Seen the drama.nfo files in some of those releases?)

What i don't get, the eboots/selfs of the games inside those pkg's are also signed. For example an old game like Joe Danger 1.0 still works & boots on 4.00, and a recent game like The Baconing can run without any needed fix on 3.55..

Any changed/re-signed pkg's or eboot/self with the known keys we have, does not work on 4.00, so don't install any of the 'pkg fix' packages. All you need is the original unmodded pkg and the edat file.

My guess is that $ony will fix the problem with the edats on an upcoming firmware, possibly remove data transfer option as well.

[RandySavage]

Yes this all hurts my head...I'm now on 4.00

I was wondering though, untouched pkgs...couldn't we just download by typing a url into our PS3s or does this no longer exist, if it ever did

[kylepsp]

Would it still work the same way if i installed the games on 3.55 then updated to 4.00?

i dont normaly care to keep this goin but your last line just stated what i just said to be true lol .. i never said u were wrong on playing them on 3.56- sicne hell DUPLEX already proved this .. do not that the 3.60 games that are being release are actualy encrypted by sony using 3.56- keys and not the actual 3.60+ keys FYI .. hens why they can get decrypted to play on lower FW.. i was talking only about the ones encrypted with the actual 3.60 keys that can not be decrypted and put on to lower fw right now ..

if the Eboot.bin has been tuched it will never work on a 3.60+ system ..

3.60 games them self have edats .. and they wont work on the 3.55 since there is no key release to decrypt the Eboot.bin (To Make.. games like Sonic CD, or any game that Uses a DEMO (but is the full game and only takes the 100kb unlock pkg) could be done since they dont need a rif to decrypt the eboot.bin and the eboot.bin does not need to be tuched if only the edats are what are tuched .. then u can use file transfer to transfer it to your ps3..

FYI the skydrift fix is an eboot.bin patch hens why it would not work when transferd ..

so let me put it into NOOBterms .. (dont like to normaly say that to someone but hey

Offical Game pkg with *.Edat patch only will work on 3.60+ (Full Demos the ones that take 100kb or so unlockers.. like lets say SWARM (dont use the 3.41 fix and it will work) Sonic CD would be one of the current 3.60 games that is a full demo and uses 0x16 key and cant be decrypted to work on 3.56-
offical game patch with eboot.bin/Edat mod = Fail will not work..

Well if u want to get technical any file outside of the edat that gets modded could mess up it playing on a 3.60+ system .. take note the only way to transfer them would be to use file transfer..

learn to google who u think is a noob .. next time ..

Seems Asures said exactly what i said as well the only issue with Full games is they will not work do to needing a Act.dat/Rif to decrypt the eboot.bin

Demos = smaller then the full game
Full Demos = Same size as full game and download for full is only 100kb (edat)
Full Games = need a rif to decrypt the Eboot.bin (Skydrift) (Pixel shooter2)

So lets call it miss reading on both our sides and call it a day..

When i first said play 3.60 games only by putting them to 3.60 i should have stated at a decryption/encyption standpoint .. Since games some games are said to be 3.60 games but use the keys from 3.56- making them decryptable to be played on lower FW where games with keys 0x10+ can not be decrypted and are true 3.60+ encrypted games
