Some people have managed to install the kiosk firmware "SEX" 4.81 over their OFW 4.81 which allows injection again.
You can also go back to OFW after injection so it seems to be safe.

Tried on both 4.78 SEX and 4.81 SEX, no luck on either. Doesn't seem to make a difference, unless I am doing the injection incorrectly. I also tried a rip of Minecraft from the Russian forum which was already setup - same issue on both 4.78 SEX and 4.81 SEX.

Ah sorry, just read about it, I didn't try it myself and believed the first few people's reports there that assured that it worked.

Judging by the reports, compatability seems to be pretty good.
From the (ex-/semi-/non-)exclusives that I looked up only Little Big Planet 1(Faulty install data error), Beyond Two Souls(blackscreen), South Park Stick of Truth(blackscreen), GTA4(Freeze on start), God of War Collection Vol. 1(blackscreen) and Mirror's Edge(Freeze on start) don't seem to work.

No you don't need a CFW PS3 but you do need at least a PS3 on OFW 4.70 or lower. If you can find a PS3 on OFW 4.70 you can put the games on it and Data Transfer (DTU) them to your 4.81 PS3.

Otherwise if all you have is OFW 4.81 then no this will not work for you.

So can I use this method with only a <4.81 OFW PS3?

I found this tool today.
Does anyone know about it?
Is it useful for them who have only OFW 4.8X?:rolleyes:
it useful for any version as long as the game update is not higher than your ps3. I tried the 1.1 version, which unfortunately has a bug and nice to see it got fixed on the 1.2 version

I've tested it on my 4.50 ODE ps3 and some game that has a lower game update works, before I attempt to transfer it to a 4.81 ps3

This tool rocks! :)

Noob question.. What if the game doesn't have an update? e.g. Tales of Xillia. How are we supposed to make a game backup using this tool?

Cheers!

This exploit is worthless. Even if you get it to work, it's only compatible with 2 or 3 games like Crysis 2. Just buy yourself a $80 CFW PS3 from ebay and save yourself the headache

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?

    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    guys, my fuckin headphones have an out of place speaker
