Original PS3 Gameboot & Sounds [4.80 - 4.86 CFW ONLY]

PS3 Original PS3 Gameboot & Sounds [4.80 - 4.86 CFW ONLY] 1.01

For me, now that I have updated to Rebug 4.84, it just makes the PS3 crash into the "Firmware cannot run properly" screen, I hit PS button on controller, it reboots. I try to boot a game again, same thing. Also before that I noticed my GT6 trophies on my "mess around and mod" profile got corrupted after I booted the game, so I backed them up on my main profile before booting, and no shit when booting it said, "Unable to complete trophy registration" or something like that. (Same thing happened to the other profile) Only thing I could do was exit the game, so I did. Trophies was corrupt afterwards.
Reinstalled Rebug 4.84 and problem solved, reinstall the Gameboot, problem was back again...
I also tested Portal 2 which crashed to the "Firmware cannot run properly" screen. :(

What's causing this, even when I restored everything except gameboot_multi.ac3 and gameboot_stereo.ac3 to normal, it would still do this. :confused:

Worst thing was that when I did reinstall Rebug and FTP over my trophies that I had backed up, they didn't show up in XMB!! :(
Although, after a Database Rebuild they showed up... ;)

Thanks for reporting this, not at my pc at the moment. I will look into this when I get back from car part hunting and sorted the car out.

Probably be 2 night at some point when I get a chance to have a look at it.

EDIT- how are you using REBUG, cex or dex?

For me it ran fine, tested on Rebug 4.84.2 CEX, gameboot works fine, and i had my own coldboot files from past firmwares, just
Might as well throw these here too , The REAL original coldboot and gameboot sounds (from pre retail FW 0.90) :)
Intresting, i knew about this sounds,but i never heard them properly, specially the Gameboot one, although, no disrespect, the retail ones sounds much better, these pre-release ones, sound like they are going to cut your brain in half, due to the high pitch sounds :D

I think the Youtube user Proto uploaded some pre-release firmware demonstrations running on his DECR-1000A, from 0.85 to 4.82

Now you gave me a idea mate, since ive got the coldboot that Pinky made for me way back the (Sony Computer Entertaniment), i could make a thread and upload 2 versions of it for easy noob instalation through file explorer, one with the pre-release sounds and one with the retail sounds :)

I guess that is because this mod installs a CEX plugin, to fix it simply patch the DEX game_ext_plugin.sprx in Rebug in the same way, might be a good idea to use DEX rco too to be 100% sure of no other small issues, although not sure if that particular one is different.

although, no disrespect, the retail ones sounds much better
Yeah, lots of the pre release stuff is a big dodgy.

The avatars are a joke. :)

Well a few of them were reused for the retail firmwares, and the clay worm for the PSN avatar lol.

But what about that neat PS3/DS3 picture strings,when you press the PS Button to turn off the system or the DS3? Reminds me a lot of the PS2 BB Menu for some odd reason :D
 
Since HAN can do it, I believe, shouldn't HEN be able to do it aswell?

In HAN it is not possible to run modified SPRX files, HAN is very limited, now with HEN which is quite advanced compared to HAN, maybe it is likely to use this mod. I wanted to even test but I will not until I have a concrete answer on the compatibility of this type of modified file in the HEN.

Shit I forgot about that, well atleast only the Gameboot without sound '\:)/'

As I said, I have not tested it, but I have in mind that it should work, but even so I do not take the risk of using it. If it works ... only with HEN enabled.:adoration:
 
Only if @Joonie @esc0rtd3w @habib add gameboot patches to PS3HEN.BIN to patch in RAM cause run unofficial signed sprx will softbrick your ps3

You can run sprx mod menus on HEN so this would work, IF I resigned the sprx to 3.55. But I would not recomend using it as although I have not tested this on HEN, I am going to have an educated guess that this will need HEN enabled to run properly, and if you booted something without HEN enabled then it WILL cause isusse's as this was NOT HAN compatible.

As I stated above this would need resigning to 3.55 for it to work but it would require HEN enabled everytime you boot the PS3 or if you launched anything ( This mod launches the gameboot on all games and app's including ISO games, bin/cue, PS2, PSP, PS1 , PSN digitals ) without HEN enabled it will instantly crash your PS3.

I have nothing to test this on HEN as I have 2 CFW PS3's and my CECH4003A SuperSlim is stuck on 4.82 OFW with no HAN or HEN as it has a BT isssue and I cannot find the original 4.82 HAN files I had to install HAN offine on 4.82 on this PS3.

NOTE: Again I will state that I would NOT recomend trying to use this on HEN yet, not till I can find a way to test as I will release nothing that may cause issues with members PS3's.

we can run modded sprx like mod menu but :
  • game_ext_plugin.sprx will cause brick it is unofficial signed and need HEN to be enabled and if you put that in dev_blind/vsh/modules/ it will boot along with ps3 then it will cause ps3 to soft brick it will need something like v1 file on hdd ,mount dev_blind/vsh/modules/game_ext_plugin.sprx to dev_hdd0/... then when HEN is enabled it will enable gameboot with it and call game_ext_plugin.sprx from dev_hdd0 rather then the officiel (unmodified one that have gameboot patches disabled) or

  • we need only to edit custom_render_plugin.rco to change gameboot image and then do on fly patches to RAM so no need for game_ext_plugin.sprx to resigned or putted in another location and no dev_blind mount to another location

Interesting ... but this should be a lot of work, right?

Since you are in 4.82, you can use the version of HEN made for this Firmware ... then you could do the tests of that module
