    netkas and flukes1, have released a new custom firmware, this time bringing us the Peek and Poke syscalls, which we've long enjoyed from our jailbreak dongles. The new syscalls aren't enough to enable current backup managers just yet, but it is a step closer. Developers will need to port their backup managers to the new CFW, and find the correct offsets in 3.55 firmware.


    Original Patch Download Link: -> v3.55 Patcher!

    v3.55 CFW UPDATE WITH PEEK/POKE (ALREADY MADE - READY TO FLASH!) -> DOWLOAD NOW!

    From the Readme:

    Patch to add peek and poke syscalls to PS3 firmware v3.55
    by flukes1 and netkas (irc.efnet.net #ps3test)

    To create the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP:

    1. Use bspatch to apply PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff to Sony's official 3.55 PUP, which is available from their website.
    2. Run this from command line: "bspatch PS3UPDAT.PUP PS3UPDAT-NEW.PUP PS3UPDAT.PUP.bsdiff"
    2. Ensure that the md5sum of the resulting PS3UPDAT.PUP is:

    337831fac6a9b05074f73710c4bb7c86

    Simply install the patched PS3UPDAT.PUP onto your PS3, then install geohot's jailbreak.

    Our PUP can be installed over any firmware version, including 3.55-geohot. If you install over 3.55-geohot, you must reinstall geohot's jailbreak afterwards.

    For developers: peek is syscall 6, poke is syscall 7 (same as PL3 dev payload)

    Props to mastag22, lastExile, Killer_In - our testers with balls of steel.

    Enjoy!


    - flukes1, netkas


    NOTE: Current backup managers may not work correctly in their current state, but now with these important syscalls added the backup manager authors will be able to change their code once the right offsets are figured out for the ram patching of the other needed functions from the original dongle payloads!

      How/where do you install the pup?

      Do I just copy it onto the ps3 via USB or FTP? and to what directory?

      Thanks

      Ok so I'm going to update to 3.55 from 3.41 (so much for my ps3key i just bought, lol) but I need some advice. Should I just upgrade through the PS3 system update or should I do it another way. Please, somebody let me know. Thanks

      do you know what i would like to see when all the syscalls and stuff come into play with the newly signed backup managers...

      a nice application for a 3.55 PS3, for those of us who were on 3.41 and updated to geohots 3.55, that; when a backup manager is installed, takes all of the games from the GAMEZ folder, (LUAN, BLES etc...) and automatically converts them, or does the job of installing a pack or something, so then all the games are compatible on 3.55

      i think it could be done,

      Let me get this straight and for the love of **** someone answer.

      I have CFW 3.55 from geohot right?


      I download this program AND a back up launcher.

      Install the program on the PS3

      Install the back up launcher(if we can see which one works first off)

      Then it should just do everything else for me without complications?

      correct kingbooforums , although it's not guaranteed the backup manager will work yet because it's coded for different firmware...

      That has nothing to do with it. There are two BMs that are coded for 3.55. I'm guessing the syscalls are different.

      This is unrealted but...


      I have a pkg file right? and black ops I got from a torrent.

      How do I "patch" it so it will work? I am having a slew of problems and I wish someone would make a video tutorial...

      i also think this method is better, because:
      - no messing around with lvl2
      - no backup manager required -> play games directly from xmb
      - pc tool for backup patching would be enough
