Trying to install Linux directly onto the PS3 HDD, my PS3 has CFW because of the recent 4.82 exploit. Back when OtherOS was an official thing, you'd be prompted to create a partition for the PS3 HDD, x for one of the OS and the remainder for the other. Not getting said option.
I've installed...
I had success using the redthetrainer website. I spent four or five hours trying, hit the sack, this morning did it again for shits and giggles. Now I'm rolling with REBUG CFW.
I am 2501A and I am homebrewing AF with this. Just expect to be very patient. 3001B is not going to work, however.
The reason for the ambiguity on 25xx models is because some have a min firmware higher than 3.56, others are 3.56 and under. Have to check with minver.pup.
What would you say would be the most demanding game you've run in the PS2 emulator. I've had my doubts about the quality of an all-software PS2 emulator in a system like the PS3 for a long time.
Success!!! Did it on a lark this morning and it worked first try. Makes me think there was an update to the exploit overnight, or I got lucky. Either way, my PS3 is gonna be homebrew AF now.
Exploit successful, instllalled Ferrox 4.82. I can figure out how to get emulators and roms on my PS3 on my own. Does an external drive need to be formatted FAT32 as well or will NTFS work?
I have to be looking at something wrong. Here is all the pertinent information on my PS3
Variant: PS3 Slim
Model #: CECH-2501-A
MinFWVer: 3.40
The above information makes my model a NOR model, and the version that comes up is 3.40, which means my model ought to be compatible. The USB drive has...
I've used 3 USB drives. The exploit just hangs forever. Switched to Wifi and back to LAN. After database check, did a proper reboot. Cleared everything out of the browser. 10 minutes, nothing. The USB drives were all 2.0, FAT32. Only differences were capacities(a 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB). Minver...
Any chance the devs are working on making this a little more reliable? Tried two USB drives, still freezing for 10+ minutes after 6+ tries.
On a different note, can hacked Vitas now connect to a hacked PS3 to get content off the device? Is that a thing PS3 CFW lets you do? This is my first dive...
