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).

I would like very much to pwn noobs and zombies at the same time.
Update: now Prestige 2 level 40
Update:
I was able to update to OFW 3.56 without getting my console banned from PSN or Black Ops servers. I had to follow a tutorial to clear my log and game history switching over to the stock firmware of 3.55 and then upgrading to 3.56. It was pretty easy, but I wouldn’t like to have to do that again.
It would appear that I have successfully dodged the bullet, because I have read that if they banned you it would be right after you updated.
I’m not sure how many PS3’s were actually banned from PSN or if that was just a lot of scared little kids.
Meh.. I should be fine.. although reading through all these posts from idiots who had their console banned is making me more nervous.
There’s a tutorial that a lot of people have followed in order to get to OFW 3.56. I think I will just do that and not mess with the PS3 Hacking scene anymore.
Yeah I would expect it from Microsoft.. they are even worse expecting people to pay for a XBL subscription but I had a higher opinion of Sony.
It would appear that some people are getting console banned with the new update… I’ve read a lot of random stuff so I’m not sure yet who to trust. Apparently, the new patch disables the ability to update your console through USB.
I’ve also read that it only disables it if you are coming from a custom firmware and that you can get around it by using a USB to install OFW 3.55, then updating to 3.56 over teh internetz.
I’m not really worried though.. because naturally if you’re on a hacked console you should wait to see what happens to the idiots who update before you..
And, since the PS3 private key is known, you should just be able to wait until a new custom firmware comes out and then update to that…
It does concern me that Sony would render entire 300 dolla consoles useless on the internet though.
The vehicle level in Black Ops was pretty good.. but I think that’s because you got to guide the missiles you shot and it didn’t last that long. Really there were a few vehicle sequences.. but not whole levels. I think they did it right.
Maybe we should have our own e-meeting.
I nominate Ephraim for secretary of Lemm’s made up meeting for the WCU Forums.
I went ahead and tried the geohot version (no backups) .. worked flawlessly.. was really easy to do .
I installed ps3 ftp and awesome file manager.. pretty cool stuff.
I checked and my PS3 is one of the one’s that is said to work with Waninkoko’s CFW. I checked the model number.. I have the 320 GB slim move pack.
And I could be wrong but from what I understand the FAT ps3’s have a larger nand than the slim ps3’s. I believe it is because they were built to support hardware emulation for ps2 games, where as the slim is not.
Update:
Waninkoko came up with his own custom firmware now that supposedly allows for backing up and playing of games. WARNING: there were hundreds of PS3’s bricked within hours of this coming out because they either didn’t install it correctly or it didn’t work for their system…
So, naturally I’m going to wait a while before I actually try this.. from what I understand most of the bricks occurred either with the slim systems or from people not updating to the stock 3.55 before installing the custom firmware (or CFW as it is commonly referred to).
EDIT: I think it might actually be the fat ps3’s that have the problem not the slim because of nand size is different. here is a list from Wankinkoko’s forums.. It’s in spanish, but I’ve been using google chrome to translate. You can also follow Waninkoko on twitter: @hackinblack

From what I’ve read… you can:
Install an FTP Server on your ps3 to edit game save files / trophies
Install emulators for different consoles
Install a program to backup a game to your internal hard drive (but not play them)
I think there are a few other things.. but everything else is on the way.
Well I have a new apartment, and finally internet.. however I don’t have a place to sit and play. All I have is my futon (trying to buy a bed later today wish me luck).
Plus my gf is in town until monday so I’m not going to get anything done..
I’ll try to get the server up soon .. or request the help of a special amazing server fixer (Liam) if I can’t get it running myself.
EDIT: I think I still have permissions?
