  • Brink - 3.60 Game Working on Rebug CFW 3.55.1 With Patch

    Brink, a recently released first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3, originally required users to have 3.60 firmware installed on their consoles. That meant gamers with custom firmware installed were out of luck when it came to playing this title. That has now changed with the help of (what appears to be) a slip up by the developer and or Sony. The title recently had a title update (patch) officially released and hackers were surprised to find out it was encrypted with 3.55 keys. What this means for users is that with a simple PARAM.SFO version edit and installation of the official retail game patch, they can now play the game on lower version firmware such as 3.55.1 Rebug CFW and possibly others.

      Awesome even though dont really know what brink is like will have to watch a trailer

      and hopefully sony stuff up more with there title updates and hopefully they dont hear about this

      keep them bizzy with there f**ked psn lol

      i wonder if you could create your own update for 3.60 games and sign it with 3.55 keys and maybe that would work.

      would be awesome if we could do what sony can

      to bad hackers are only hacking psn to steal peoples money which is pretty evil and if they get caught which in the end they prob will because everyone makes misstakes and oneday they will make a misstake that gets them caught.

      Catherine wont be 3.60......I play the game now and am on CFW. Unless for some reason they want to slap it with new firmware needed to play it but I doubt it since the original is not 3.60

      I try to play the game but, without any eng sub/dub, I can't play the game any longer. I hope when Catherine comes out in late July, it'll be 3.55 compatible. If not, I hope there's a way to mix the files between USA and Japanese so I can understand the game.

      I am crossing my fingers that ALL games will be patched for 3.61 so that all you morons have enough time to develop your so-called homebrew and leave us legit gamers in peace.

      If you hate Sony so much why do you still bother playing their games???

      You are ******g hypocrites!!!!! I hate the fact that the jailbreak community only spawned pirates, cheaters and cyber criminals.

      The Japanese version isn't 3.60 but since the US/EU version is coming late July, it will most definitely require 3.60. It doesn't matter if the original isn't 3.60.

      I think by then people's frustration of not being able to play 3.60+ games will lead them to releasing keys/cfw to play 3.60 games.

      does anyone else feel that the scene has pretty much died or is it just me?

      Hmm I'm not sure exactly how the update process works, but if this game was 3.6 then they accidentally released a patch with 3.55 keys. Doesn't that mean we could just create our own empty custom patches for other 3.6 games and just give them 3.5 keys like this? Or would that patch require the 3.6 keys b4 it would be accepted by the game? I don't know, probably completely stupid idea, was just throwing it out there.

      We should have kept quiet about it for a while and let them release updates compatible with 3.55 f/w for loads of games.
