Since the release of Tical’s task for ps3mfw builder we have seen several mfw that have been released with cinavia patched out.  Well now you no longer have to leave your favorite firmware to enjoy that option. Codename: Rebug has released a handy little .pkg to do that for you. Remember this is unnecessary if you are already using any of Rebug’s firmwares.

Disable Cinavia Installer for 3.41 and 3.55 CFW/MFW will permanently install the necessary ‘Cinavia Free’ video modules (excluding AVCHD/Blu-ray) to your PS3.

This has been a feature of the REBUG firmware from the start but since there seems to be a lot of interest by users of other CFW/MFW we thought we would make an easy installer for everyone.

All right everyone it seems that team REBUG is up to it again. They are currently in the testing stages of running a full debug firmware on a retail ps3, Which many have said is impossible. As of right now REBUG firmware CoreOS is still CEX, with debug features enabled. More info below.

In this video you can see the PS3 first booting and then BEEPING.

* This is normal, if someone installs an full official DEBUG PUP via Service Mode on a Retail Console.

Next you see Cyber booting on his PS3 using a USB Jailbreak Dongle!

* This time the PS3 boots-up and is a fully 100% DEBUG firmware, no crashing or beeping, loads right into the XMB!

This is all possible by the Codename: REBUG team developing their own “custom payload” loaded for usage on the old v3.41 Jailbreak dongles!

Quote of a message from Cyberskunk to GaryOPA

Hey Gary,

The vid we sent you uses a dongle to boot the DEX COREOS on retail console as we thought that to be more conclusive since you can mimic the DEX XMB quite easily..

We can however boot it without the dongle but before everyone gets excited being able to boot the DEX COREOS and getting all of its functions up and running without rehashing (converting) your console are two completely different problems.

Cheers Mate..

3.60 Version Spoofer V1.1 is out and it allows psn access. If you install this you don’t need to install the PS3ita CFW. It works online even now, here is a quote from the source:

***** THIS ALLOWS PSN ACCESS ***** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK *****

***** FOR 3.55 ONLY **** FOR 3.55 ONLY ***** FOR 3.55 ONLY *****

3.60 Version Spoofer is working for now. This allows PSN access but DOES NOT use the PS3ITA CFW patch. NO new CFW, F@ckPSN or PC needed.. Once the PS3 is spoofed it will stay spoofed until it is uninstalled.

Press CROSS to INSTALL 3.60 Version Spoof (the status will change after 15 – 45 seconds telling you to reboot)

Press CIRCLE to UNINSTALL 3.60 Version Spoof (the status will change after 15 – 45 seconds telling you to reboot)

…Enjoy

I don’t often do this, but the Codename Rebug guys have done a lot of great work, so perhaps those of you who have used and benefited from their tools could perhaps send a donation @ donations@rebug.me

Cyberskunk has been working hard, on turning retail consoles into debug, he has released his first public beta of Codename: Rebug , for any of you that have missed the video’s, here they are thanks to evilsperm:

And now to the beta, with a quote from rebug.me:

After many hours and sleepless nights we present to you a Beta release of Rebug!
This has been the hard work of Cyberskunk and this project is his baby.

* Rebug beta WILL NOT have the ‘PSN Quick Signup’ enabled *

The only thing it does at the moment is connect and enable chat and console activation (Console activation is useless without access to PSN content).. It would be a waste for the feature to be shot down before it was actually useful to anyone by everyone creating and signing in and out of Quick Signup and getting noticed…

A Quote from CyberSkunk:

Q) What is ‘Rebug 3.41E’?

A) An attempt to build a Debug/Retail PS3 firmware with the full features of both

Q) Does it need to be ‘Jailbroken’

A) Yes. It has it’s own payload. But not to use the ‘Debug Settings’ menu. That is always available.

I have finally decided that ‘Rebug 3.41E’ is in good enough shape for a beta release so here it is.

At the moment it has all ‘Retail PS3′ features running except PSN. So installing ‘Rebug 3.41E’ will not break anything infact you can play your original PS1 games in JB mode and unlike most Debug/Retail hybrids in the past this has functional BD playback(Same as usual though, not in JB mode)..

As far as the Debug functions go you have two seperate ‘Debug Settings’ menus to choose from (As long as you are in JB mode you can swap between them using file manager without restarting) with most of the options working (None of the really good ones yet). But you now have XMB acces to all those xRegistry.sys switches..

Also at anytime if you decide you don’t like ‘Rebug 3.41E’ you can install ‘Retail 3.41′ through the XMB without any problems..

‘Rebug 3.41E’ is stable. It does not crash randomly or for no reason. It has no bugs that I know of at the moment. It does however need lots more work getting the rest of the debug options up and running.

There are a few things close to going into ‘Rebug 3.41E’ but would have messed with the stability for now so they will hopefully be in the next release. Like BD playback in JB mode (Crashes randomly at the moment so it was left out) and an app to swap the ‘Debug Settings’ menus..

I will try to keep on top of it and evolve Rebug with the scene..

I hope you like it.
