  • JFW-DH 3.56 MA-1 Released!

    The DemonHades site has released JFW DH 3.56 MA-1, not to be confused with the highly anticipated JFW 3.41 that was supposed to be released sometime last month. It should be noted right away, that this CFW is intended for PS3s stuck on 3.56. You should also note that you will need a NOR flasher in order to install this if you are on 3.56, and it is the only way to revert back to 3.55 once you are using 3.56 MA-1.


    And here are some more important notes:
    • No multiMAN (Backup Manager) support (at least until they are signed to the new SYSCalls).
    • No "backup" support, only PKG support (meaning you have to install the games to your internal hard drive to play them).
    • No Cobra functions (not for this version).




    The following is a very rough translation via Google:

    MA-1 3.56

    Click to View


    This is not install-able via normal PUP for those on 3.56, a NOR flasher is needed. This is not for those seeking to play 3.60+ games.

    - ONLY WAY TO REVERT BACK IS WITH NOR FLASHER!

    tthousands thoughts - I feel as though I have told you everything this CFW is not, instead of telling you what it is. Well, what it is, is simple... it allows you to play your 3.56 backup games by turning them into PKG files (an external application is required, and is not included). If you want to play the latest games that are being fixed to work on CFW, you would need to use your NOR Flasher to downgrade back to 3.55, and re-install whichever CFW it is that you were on before.

      Great new for people with 3.56 even if it needs special hardware and will not be so popular due to complexity and limitation ! And why the hell people will reflash to CFW3.56 if they need hardware ? Cause with some special hardware they can also simply downgrade to 3.55 isn't it ??

      You get the 3.56 game functionality. I think that is all.

      NO!!! At least not yet anyways. DemonHades has said their would be a patch for that later on.

      For a CFW intended for 3.56, it is strange that you need to be on 3.55 in order to install it, but those are the breaks I suppose.

      Does anyone know the status of the full CFW they were working on? I know they said they wouldn't release it in english because of the shit storm that was raised a while back. Do they still stand by that, or has everything settled down yet?

      The majority of the world are English speaking (PS3 anyway) and if they dont official support it, I'm sure translators will collaborate to make an unofficial English version.

      For a guy who is stuck on 3.56 and has a NOR flasher, propably he would go for 3.55 CFW instead.

      Late to the party but better late then never. People asked about why this wasn't on the front page and the conclusion (3.56 Cfw out! Mods can u let me post it on main page ?) was that it is news better left buried.

      That could be why it has been ready for several months, and never released. It was not ready for it's intended targets yet. More like MA-0.1 IMHO.

      Pretty much nothing here to report on is the problem. The main concern is that we do not want a bunch of users stranded on 3.56 because of this information. We wanted to wait and see what else DemonHades had to say, along with it's members before we spoke up on it.

      This is bascially information for your above average user that can, or has, installed a NOR flasher on their consoles, and would like to play 3.56 games. Other than that, I see no real reason for releasing this, other than trying to keep the NEED FOR JFW going.

      This is only good for the small percentage of consoles that are 3.56 base

      tthousand's fault it should have stayed buried

      This is 100% trash people do not install it, you WILL LOOSE your functionality that 3.55 has. Wait for real CFW for higher than 3.55 its not too far off with the releases lately.

      It will probably bury itself anyways Atleast we got TB and DUPLEX. I am looking forward to what is next, not what was promised months ago. I hope we see another geohot or graf_chokolo. The teams are okay, too!

      i like the idea of a 3.56 cfw but without the ability to downgrade back to 3.55 if i wish to is no good to me its too risky if somehow they hit a wall with making this as good and as easly modified as 3.55 then were stuck with it

      also wouldnt this be funny if it just turned out to be a spoofed 3.55 lol
