PS3 4.81 STARBUCKS ESPRESSO MFW BETA v2

Yes sir. It was black ops 2. Can't remember the game ID but it was working fine before I installed this firmware. All my ode games are set up correctly. Ive been running this ode setup for a few years. I installed overtop rebug 4.81 Rex. I did not think it anything actually installed, I still had the rebug boot logo and my theme. I tried to activate psnpatch with the button combo but it wouldn't activate. I loaded the psnpatch app to see if it would load. It did but I didn't try to activate it. I just exited the app and tried the ode. I was able to mount the game fine but I got the error when I tried to load it. That was the extent of my test. I'd be glad to help test any new f/w. You guys have done so much for this community, anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Yes I also noticed that they have been hit and miss these past few weeks. Some times mentions work, sometimes they dont. I've been quoting post when possible as that has always worked for me. That won't work unless they are a participant in the convo. @kozarovv

Movian may work fine but not psnpatch,

The goal was to prevent all the homebrews though, if you start running homebrew with this CFW then there's no point of using this IMO, except you don't have to deal with disabling stuff



FYI @habib

I may end up installing ODE on mine some time later

Yea all I want is an OFW that will load Movian as the PS3 media player sucks. But then again I can just use UMS if need be as I haven't updated that in over a year.
 
so I have not been able to get it to work and not sure if it's going to but I figured I would ask if anyone else has had success with a PSN digital game converted to ISO using Rudy's tools I know they work using a standard custom firmware just wanted to see how far this would work

Not all the PSN games are working, and EBOOT should be signed for ODE [3.55]

OK I have a few questions about this firmware as I actually do not have to work at a single one of my jobs till 4pm tomorrow so as close to a day off as I get.

Now the PSN game in question I am talking about is Castlevania Mirror of Fate. I have removed the digital install of the game that came with the Lord's of Shadow Collection. But the act.dat it is tied to and the edat for the game are still in place. I checked prior from going from Rebug 4.81.2.

In fact there is no cracked or illegally obtained content on this system at all. The only thing not 100% Sony is Movian but I removed that as well till I make a stealth variant. I cleared it to the best of my ability prior to installing this MFW v2 BETA.

I only plan on using it mainly for a media center/hub as I use my B-01 for other stuff as it's off limits to everyone in the house. Anyhow what I want to try is running PSN digital content converted to disc style games.

Just to see what this patch can and can't do. So as long as the license files for the PlayStation 3 games that came from PlayStation Network and are converted should run? Or am I wasting time? Also is there anything anyone wants me to test?

As for the 3.55 signing must I do this to every game? Or just PSN content? I do plan on getting an ODE at a later time just for fun to tinker with. Should I buy a Cobra ODE? As it seems their site is down. And do all ODE's still require a swap disc? And are any better then the other or one suggested to buy simply for testing? The 3XK3y (think that's what it is called) seems to use a different approach over the E3 or Cobra but also seems to need extra hardware to fully utilize.

Anyone able to give some up to date on these ODE's as everything I have found seems very dated data and actually quiet confusing to grasp.

First of all, in order to convert PSN contents to disc format, all your encrypted prx, elf, eboot and edat have to be "rif-free" state,

And the second requirement is 3.55 eboot , sprx and selfwith disc bound.

Once you have all these then you can try running them on CFW first before you waste any disc to burn.

Some games work nicely and some games don't, you should do some research about ODE/PSN contents combination.

Other work around you could do is to use those backup method for OFW 4.70+

This MFW doesn't allow any unsigned act.dat or rif. So your best bet is to buy all the psn contents and activate them in legit way, or convert those "known" npdrm contents to ISO and burn and try

And the second requirement is 3.55 eboot , sprx and selfwith disc bound. atreyu187 reply again not an issue but my question about this comes after the next statement bud.

Once you have all these then you can try running them on CFW first before you waste any disc to burn. atreyu187 reply ok if signed as a 3.55 EBOOT/PRX/SELF or any other executable file it will not launch on a CFW above 3.55 right? so I would need to swap my test system say my useless CECHL-01 flash to 3.55 KMEAW for testing. If it will work on say Rebug 4.81.2 D-REX I can use the new webMAN MOD feature to install the premade ISO to a USB flash drive like say installing an ISO for an OS to a USB flash drive to install the OS from USB. Anyhow I can do this with a PS3 game to test an ISO without wasting media at all right? As I do this as it is now for my B-01 D-REX on 4,81,2 using Cobra 7.51 now to test an image before burning so this should work the same correct?

Some games work nicely and some games don't, you should do some research about ODE/PSN contents combination. atreyu187 reply I plan on doing this anyhow before I make an ODE purchase but tonights test will be for the MFW only

Other work around you could do is to use those backup method for OFW 4.70+ atreyu187 reply yea I could but I do not want games on this system at all unless it is via an optical drive hence the reason for converting PSN games to disc based games.

This MFW doesn't allow any unsigned act.dat or rif. So your best bet is to buy all the psn contents and activate them in legit way, or convert those "known" npdrm contents to ISO and burn and try atreyu187 reply Of course that is why I want to use this system as so because I have literally years of PS+ linked to this and is my way of adding content to my Vita/PSTV's not to mention all the cash I have dropped out of pocket. I don't want anything not legit being ran on this system besides my Stealthvian you suggested. As I a teensy++ installed and have no issues DG'ing this system and usually use a DB OFW anyhow but this is a DB OFW that I can use Movian and even make backup disc and let me kid have fun without worry of losing it or damaging it. PSN password will not be stored on this so this is truly a dream come true to me

Ok bud I am going to put my replies in your quote as I feel that would be easier but anything else I have to say after replying to all your responses will be in the next paragraph bud but as usual thanks for your timely response and being so through. I know your time is valuable that is why I want to help test things you may need as well as this "custom" DB OFW is a dream come true for my slim I let the girls in the house use. so now to reply in the quote anything below this (not even sure there will be TB 100% honest) paragraph.

I told you to test it on CFW because it works, no need to downgrade or anything if it was needed I would've mentioned it already

You're asking if 3.55 eboot doesn't work on 4.81 CFW

I had an old phat with a 3k3y installed. I don't think they updated the f/w to allow swap disc....I could be wrong. I never had to use a swap disc. I know that with cobra cfw you did not need a swap disc for any ode. As a matter of fact, I am still running the old ode firmware in my cobra ode. f/w that doesn't require swap disc. I wasn't sure that new f/w had an option not to enable the use of a swap disc since all ofw ode use would require it after 4.55.
@habib remember that you were able to patch out routines to get the games to load but not with game updates, it wasn't until you patched the cobra cfw for ode use that games with updates would load again. I'm not sure if this issue may come back in this f/w.

@modrobert took the project and he did release a FW with partial swap disc support for 3k3y then I don't know what happened after then , he stopped working on it.

The patch he added to fix the issue with ODE is already applied in this payload. We need to find out what else is missing.

Don't count me on that one, all my cables look damaged and the ODE isn't in good shape.

I don't know when I'm going to try this
