Hacking Secret PS3 Menu

[sjones900]

Since any news about PS3 CFW is slow I thought I'd share this.

So i tried it and couldn’t get it working, i told him this much, whilst asking him to stop trolling me, then he told me to check PS3 Dev Wiki and i found this:
[*]Go to Settings > System > System Information
[*]Press simultaneously R1 + L1 + DPad Left + Square for a few seconds
[*]Release those buttons then immediately press the start button (and keep it hold)
So i made a little video:

I did try this myself and it does indeed work.. however I only get it to pop up for a few seconds. Discuss!

So what's this do?

This is old news, it was discovered for the Vita about a week ago and reported on a few sites, then people discovered it also works on PSP and PS3. It's been reported here on GBATemp already (not sure where, but there is definitely a thread about somewhere). It's also not a "menu" as there is nothing to select and it is almost completely useless. It just shows some information about the build of the firmware.

On a side note, on the PSP at least, you need to keep Start held as long as you want the text to display, when you release Start it disappears. Alternatively, while holding start, you can press left on the d-pad and then let go of Start and it will stay until you press O.

This news has already been posted... somewhere...

Sorry if this has been posted else where. It's really hard to find useful interesting news about the PS3 that doesn't have anything to do with those stupid jailbreak dongles. I just thought I would contribute somehow.

"useful"? This is absolutely useless information (no offence meant to you for reporting it, just in general this has no use to anyone)

 

[sjones900]

I never said this post in particular was useful. I suppose you could imply that I did. It's just PS3 news that I thought was interesting and decided to share.

So what's this do?

Give you information you can already find in other places... (so it's useless)

It gives you information you cannot easily find elsewhere actually. But that information is useless.
