would i need an e3 flasher? i read some where something about progskeet or something? but aside from that im more interested in gaining the experience from doing the work myself.There are two options for you:
Get a Phat or SLIM PS3 at any Pawn stores and it won't hurt to ask them if you can test it so you can checked the firmware to see if it is 3.41 or 3.55. Thats what I did and I grab one that had 3.41 in it.
Other option: Buy a expensive E3 Flasher that can cost 70 to 100 dollars. It is not good for a beginner, thought. I recommend to get one at the pawn store instead.. Its cheaper and hassle free.
You could use a progskeet, E3 is just usually the first recommended because it's the most straightforward, least soldering option.would i need an e3 flasher? i read some where something about progskeet or something? but aside from that im more interested in gaining the experience from doing the work myself.
Yours has NOR flash. http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Modelsi also read something about nor and nand. what is the difference and which do i need if any?
thats what i was worried about. thank you.Yours has NOR flash. http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models
I'm actually not sure if E3 even comes with a NOR model, so Progskeet might be the better option in your case.

not that experienced at soldering. thats the reason i wanted to check my possible options in hacking my ps3.
i googled a little bit and came across one that has the pins in it already. here is the link. https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp_pins.html.Teensy++ 2.0 is the best choice, and it's also very cheap.
