Q: How do I use PB2 to play a purchased PS3 game that requires 3.6+ PS3 firmware?
A: PB2 does not support directly playing original game discs requiring 3.6+ on lower firmware versions. In order to play such recent games on your jailbroken 3.55 CFW PS3 you must first dump your original game disc to HDD using one of the many supported PS3 backup managers such as Multiman. Once you have dumped the game, you must obtain and install a " PB2 patch" corresponding to said game from our website. This procedure effectively creates a copy of your game on a HDD, modified to function on your 3.55 CFW PS3 in conjunction with PB2. For full details, please refer to the PB2 Users Guide on the download page.

tthousand's thoughts - Team True Blue is not going to be happy about this. The question remains, will this dongle be able to handle the latest EBOOT patches, and the ones that will come in the future. I suppose the other question people will ask, is will this team create their own patches; the answer to that questions is most likely no, because it is not the dongle creators making the patches. Well, does TB have reason to fear? Only time will tell...
