Codename: Rebug - Retail to Full Debug Project

Word comes to us, via PSX-Scene, of a project to convert retail units into fully functional debug units. This particular project, being worked on by a developer named CyberSkunk, seems to be near completion. The only hold up is the developer is currently waiting on full dumps from a real debug unit before he can proceed with the project.

He has been working on turning a retail console into a debug console through the use of firmware loader. The reason we are sharing this now is to show that it is nearly complete. Most of this work has been done for quite some time just not shared with the public, but seeing its nearly complete you will get a preview of things to come. Once we have our full debug dumps you can expect 100% debug features on a retail console (currently we only have partial dumps). I have left a few things out in the video that I will take screenshots of like *check although we have it enabled its grayed out, also auto download is now gone just like a TEST unit. We will keep you posted as we make more progress in the coming days. Please do not ask when we will release this because we ourselves don't know when it will be finished.

so if we can run our consoles on debug version instead of retail, how would this help us? would it allow us to play online? im glad people are working on ways to improve the ps3 i was just curious on how this one would work.

3.50 debug units can play online, and are not prompted to update to 3.55. They are actually never prompted to update, but they will get logged out of PSN on lower firmwares than 3.50 now. They used to be able to play online with almost any firmware (all the way down to about 2.70 firmware or so). However, once retails started spoofing debugs to play online, debugs stopped working online unless you updated to 3.50.

THANK YOU for the response. So with that info u just said we can assume sony will know if u are playing with a "fake" debug console and can block you like they did with 3.41

Sony reads these blogs and websites just like you guys. Once they see that there's a method to play PSN on jailbroken consoles, then they'll patch it.

I don't see how they could patch this, they could update for debugs, but it'd be difficult to stop completely, as it could be re-done

as the guy stated above me they use to be able to play online, but then sony made them update to 3.50. so even if they jailbreaked and could make retail consoles in to debugs, sony would just make another update that would stop the (fake) debugs from playing online. Im pretty shure sony could stop this like when they realeased the payload to play online with 3.41 sony stopped them without evening updating the system. my opnion is that their will never be a stable way to play online with a jailbroken ps3. i assume this by looking at the xbox 360 history.
BUT I COULD BE WRONG!
