So my PS3 hasn't been used in about a year now, but I kept it jailbroken.

I now want to start using it again (with online connectivity) so I need to go back to OFW. However, I have some custom certificates, and other stuff I shouldn't have.

Is there a restore functioni I can use that will preserve my user data? Such as logins, gamesaves, etc. I know I could COMPLETELY format it and have everything properly restored, but there are things I want to keep (some save files cannot be backed up).

Or am I going to have to find the original certs (from somewhere online) and put those on, then update to the latest FW?

And before I do go Official again, are there any reasons I should stay on CFW or hold back from updating? I know I wont be able to jailbreak again if I update, but honestly, it's not being used at all in its current state.

Thanks tempers.

Edit: Currently on version 3.60 (some FW release from rebug, a bit dodgy).

First of all if it's jailbroken you're on firmware 3.55, probably with the firmware spoof from rebug on it. Just install OFW on top of it, don't worry about it.
Oh yes, I remember now.

3.55 with a spoof. It has been a year since I even turned it on :P

Well that's fantastic. The custom certs are stopping me from getting online, and I've already updated (So I can't use a file manager and change them)

Edit: DNS-Error 80710104

I've tried rebuilding the OS, fixing the databases, re-doing my internet settings etc etc. Nothing.

Case 1 - You cannot access internet AT ALL
shut ps3 off then reset your router

Case 2 - you cannot access SEN(PSN) but can use the browser

don't worry about certs they have been replaced when you updated

    idfk what the deal is with my windows 10 install but it is unusably slow these days
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, Should I play Pokémon TCG Live? My phone can't run TCG pocket, it seems tcg live isnt that popular compared to it and idk the differences between each game
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, I'm not sure 🤔 I haven't played it and am not that familiar with the TCG Live version. I just looked at the site for it though and the first thing I noticed is that it seems that it uses the full Pokemon TCG rule set? At least based on the fact that the cards they show have resistance and weakness values
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    In TCG Pocket it uses a much simpler, trimmed down rule set that makes games go really fast but can get a littel boring tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, sort of like Yu gi oh duel links and Master duel?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    All that to say - I'm not familiar with TCG Live but it looks a little more advanced than TCG Pocket, and that's kinda cool. Actually may look into it myself now
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, I haven't played either of those 😭
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    In which duel links uses a simplified versión and Master duel uses the full rules? @Sicklyboy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Oh sorry
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    All good! The last Yugioh game I played was Eternal Duelist Soul on the GBA lmaooo
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    When it was new 😭😭😭
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    TCG Pocket, the cards only have weaknesses, no resistance, and so far only have one single attack and possibly one passive ability
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Hey @Xdqwerty , just wondering, what do you mean by your phone can't run TCG Pocket? Is Google Play Store saying your device is not compatible? If so, you might be able to try sideloading the APK and running it that way https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/the-p...okemon-tcg-pocket-1-0-9-android-apk-download/
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If you go into security options on your phone there should be an option to "allow installing from unknown sources" or something to that effect, then when you download the APK you can tap it and it will install manually
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, yup, Google play store says it won't work
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Sideloading it from APKmirror maaaaaa
    y work for you then 👀
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, someone on Reddit told me this btw:
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    TCG live is an online version of the actual TCG. The primary way to unlock cards is to buy the physical cards as there is no monetization at all. You can still get cards without but much less.Like I said it's the actual game. Pocket is a much simplified version.Live has 60 card decks vs 20 from PocketAnother major difference is Winning in Live you have prize cards. Where after you draw your iirc 8 cards you put 6 cards off to the side. You get these cards into your hand by defeating pokemon once you reclaim all 6 you win.Further difference is the need to have energy cards in your deck. Meaning you are limited in how much energy you have.Live is also more prone to crashes & bugs. Like I said the service has absolutely zero monetization so less incentive to fix bugs when it works pretty good 80% of the time (exaggeration)Pocket is about collecting Live is for battles.Pocket matches last like 10 minutes Live is easily 20.
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    oh man I totally forgot about the size difference of the decks
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Sucks that the main way to get cards in game is to buy cards IRL though :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Some live streamer made $12k in just 45mins was for a good cause at least
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I wanna make 12k in 45 minutes, I'm a good cause :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd probably make 25k cause I'm a bad cause
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, and yeah i'm trying to log into TCG Live but it doesnt let me (might be due to shit wifi connection though, might try tommorrow)
