Gaming what's the status of ps3 CFW in 2017

[vb_encryption_vb]

i remember seing a method about a fake "dummy" update, that would revert the console to the original firmware, more info on this?

I remember seeing a cure for cancer too, but, the World Leaders are still holding that one...

If you had read my post I said 3001A which is a model number could not be downgraded so I got a 2001A, come on man.

Your post makes out anything after year 2011 is a no go which isn't true, they didn't run from year start to end only so you come one boy.

This is not true well at least in America. I had a 3001A Slim (not a Super Slim, just a Slim I bought in 2011) that could not be downgraded. It requires 2001 or less to downgrade so I found one of those downgraded it now I'm profiting.

You clearly misread my post somehow. "some select normal Slims can't be downgraded" makes perfect sense, no? Some Slims are downgradeable, some aren't.
Want proof? I own a Slim myself and its minimum downgrade version is 3.40 (albeit I already put CFW on that thing ages ago already)

So my statement is still true. I just think sometimes you have to read what I say carefully because sometimes I make it difficult to understand when I put stuff into words. Bad habit of mine

Really wish we would get something new. Is there anyone working on anything or is the PS3 scene just dead?
I was unfortunate enough to get a Super Slim. I mean, it's great as a PS3, but I really wanted to play my PS1 backups on my CRT (PS3 has AV out)

Someone, with another console in CFW, has created 2 programs, one to create bubble installs (that looks like the "rumor" method) and another to get the PSID of a console.

Maybe this has already been answered in this thread but i will just ask for proper clarification

Is the PS3 scene alive,dying or dead? or is it like the Vita scene? (which isn't dying but isn't attracting as many devs as the 3DS/Wii U scenes)

Also i am on 4.80. Any chance ever of this FW ever being hack-able? (what i mean here is that, are there active groups or people looking for exploits or is that just wishful thinking?)

Any answers would be awesome.

The PS3 scene is not dead, but sleepy.

And to answer, no, no chance for 4.80 to be hackable, since Sony's error was in NPDRM in 3.41-3.55. If someday the new NPDRM leaks from a internal Sony source, yes, we could talk.

But now, no, the keys won't be released nor seen in our PS3's (or we need to litterally go hack Sony servers to leak them)

the ps3 scene is still active, but not as much as it was during its heyday. there's talk of using webkit exploits to hack any system since the ps3 contains vulnerabilities there, but a lot of devs and hackers have left for the ps4 scene, so how many people r working on this is anyone's guess.

Oh well that is too bad. But i am not fussed massively here but it sucks that the scene is sleepy.

Question: Are the Vita and PS3 similar in any regard? because i was thinking. If they are (FW wise) couldn't we use some form of Henkaku port or something along those lines to find exploits on newer FWs of the PS3?

lead the charge legolas!

Actually, someone in another site is working for a PS3 Playground, based on CTurt's PS4 Playground..

 

[godreborn]

you'd need a kexploit for henkaku to exist on the ps3. I think that's the issue they ran into on the ps4. the webkit is vulnerable for userland access, so you just need a way into the kernel.

That's why it's only a "placeholder" for now.

What in gods name is an Kexploit or was that a error on your part? (ive heard of exploits but never kexploits)

 

[Deleted-355425]

kernel exploit = kexploit

 

[Abu_Senpai]

kernel exploit = kexploit

Ah alright now i see. It seems like i gotta keep up with these terms. So basically the kernal exploit is what you need. Now i understand.

Thanks

PS3 doesn't output 240p, even through AV. There's no point. I recommend using a PS2 or even a psp go. Both can output 240p and you'll enjoy the games at the correct resolution.

PS2 even supports RGB if you have a BVM/PVM.

Hey, you can reference the chart here http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models to see which models of PS3 are hackable. I would get a PS3 Slim as the Fats suffer from high rates of failure due to overheating. Use PS3_MinVerChk to see what the lowest possible firmware for your PS3 is. If the check says the MinVer is less than or equal to 3.55 use an E3 flasher to flash 3.55 and then install CFW. See here for details http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:Playstation_Update_Package_(PUP)

I don't care much about picture quality tbh.
It just feels more authentic to play in a CRT than in my flat ass monitor.
I have a PSP 3001, but it's really hard to find that cable I need. And my PS2 is dead, resting in piece in my closet, maybe it will be resurrected one day.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

if i get a console now, not already modded what can i do?
if the console is the fat first model, will it give me any advantages in installing cfw, or is the firmware version the only thing that really matters?

if the console is updated to the last firmware, what options do i have? i am interested in full CFW.. (like the psp, wii etc)

i am making a thread because i want to know the final veredict.. i don't think sony will update this console anymore (unless for misc stuff, like removing some small thing) so i think it's relevant to make this thread

Good old Ninty. People are still struggling to hack PS4 but we already got the freaking TrustZone code on the Switch

I imagine Nintendo's console security team to be a pack of illiterate chimps typing away at a thousand typewriters until good security code appears. Yeah Nintendo sucks at cryptography.

The PS4 scene has working Kexploits up to firm 4.70 I believe. They just don't want to share for reasons.
