I’m surprised Waninkoko didn’t disable the code that verifys the OS version before allowing online play.
I think that is done server-side… and where he might be able to change the fw version number on the console. And if sony sends a random request to your console and it doesn’t get back the expected rootkit/spyware response, I believe they would just ban the console from psn.
To adam:
Yeah, you have to be connected to the PS Network to be able to play any games online (unless you use another network which I don’t believe reports xp and such.. I forget what it is called but I think it starts with a K).
