    Hacking Hackable PS3 models and information

    Could be wrong but iirc when I left that comment, the latest firmware was listed as 4.88

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    I'm mainly scared of it because I have a bit of a knack for losing screws and stripping them, but I suppose it's better than letting the CPU die in a thermal coffin, lol. I'll get to it whenever I get back into modding these I suppose.

    I told the Federal Government about Gbatemp

    I think this is my favorite thread yet

    Current view on changing the thermal paste in PS3

    What are the consequences for neglecting this? I have a few PS3s that probably all need it by now, but it's still very scary. Still, first time for everything, eh?

    DraStic DS Emulator on Android is now free to download, will be taken down soon

    Is there any way to contact Exophase? I want to thank him. This emulator introduced me to the whole concept of emulation and it holds a special place in my heart.

    Hardware Misc Original o3DS soft-bricked, would like to keep original firmware

    I was praying I wouldn't have to mess with that cable, cause I broke a joycon with a similar cable. But it is what it is. Nothing left to it but to do it. Unfortunately thought life has absolutely roundhouse kicked me into the stratosphere this week so I'm gonna have to wait a few days before I...

    Hardware Misc Original o3DS soft-bricked, would like to keep original firmware

    Grah... I'm this close to pulling out the Dremel and removing the screwpost above the game card slot. This thing has more than enough screws to go without... I know I shouldn't but MAN there are zero screws left and it's still doing this

    So the SD card daughterboard did apparently have screws beneath it while also being soldered. After a bit of fiddling with the plastic piece beneath it you can start to slowly and carefully work it up to here: Essentially the solder acts almost like a hinge. So now the board is pretty loose...

    I'm a little confused -- All the screws seem to be out, but the motherboard isn't budging at all. Is this where the iso alc comes in? And I suppose I better get some plastic tweezers of some kind soon if I wanna do this.

    Wow, appreciate the information. I'll definitely get to that Soon™, but I guess it seems to me that it isn't a hardware issue. Behaves a lot like a soft-brick, so I thought it was NAND corruption. But I'll definitely see if that works, too -- I'd just like an idea of what else it could be, and...

    I don't have a soldering iron :( I do see some other corrosion spots now that I look more closely (nothing extreme of course) but it seems pretty stable because last time I picked it up years ago everything was the same with the power menu. I'd need so much more equipment to go further though...

    ...I did, unless you want me to do a full teardown on it. Popped it back open and even the water sticker seems mostly untouched: It's not even all the way pink!

    Hardware Misc Original o3DS soft-bricked, would like to keep original firmware

    I got this water damaged o3DS a while ago and yesterday I tried recovery mode on a whim after it was sitting for like 3 years and it turns out recovery mode is operable. I don't know what firmware is on this thing, and I'd like to keep it intact because if it's old enough it could be rather...

    Homebrew Moonshell 2 FAQ, Guide and Index

    It seems to download as an EXE. Right click it in the file browser and there should be an option for 7-zip to open it. Hey can anyone figure out why there's chinese text? Does the developer speak Cantonese as a first language?
