  • JFW-DH Moves into BETA Testing Stage

    DemonHades has announced that JFW-DH, an upcoming custom firmware, has moved into the beta phase. The beta phase has been divided into three separate groups based on different PlayStation 3 hardware configurations. The beta is currently only open to a select group of long term and active members of DH.org's forums. The beta testing phase is set to last two weeks for each of the three groups and should help sort out any issues with the firmware. It was also revealed that the first public release of the custom firmware is being slated for an October 2011 release, if all goes well during testing.

    In addition, the coder behind OpenPSStore, which is another aspect of the JFW-DH firmware, has posted an update regarding his progress. In the update, he demonstrated some of the work that's been invested in JFW-DH by releasing two source code files. The files pertained to an XML parser he's been developing for OpenPSStore. In addition he released an impressive screenshot which outlines OpenPSStore's final design layout. The firmware appears to be shaping up nicely and October couldn't come sooner.



    They will pick a handful of people that are Spanish-speaking and registered on their DH.org forums long enough to be listed as "Devil Friend" (aka) Amigo Demon in Spanish, that have the following hardware listed below and divided into 3 groups of testers, to report back to the developers over a 2 week period with any bugs they find in running what is being called the v3.41v2 core.
    GROUP A - Backwards Compatible Owners

    * User-Spanish speaking (in Spanish beta)
    * Internet Connection on the PS3 (not psn)

    * Game store NPDRM 3.56 or 355 (not psone)
    * Backup 341 / 355Kmeaw
    * Linux live cd-USB Red Ribon

    GROUP B - Later-Model PHAT's (no PS2 ability)

    Hey people. I've just heard you posted this here, and I just said to myself, let's post too.
    Atm I'm working on OpenPStore, which is part of the JFW. I've been working on it for many many hours, as all devs which are working on JFW, and it is just disgusting to read people saying JFW is a fake.

    I've seen pics of JFW running, not all of its features though, so it's not fake. There is a whole team working hard every day to bring this to you, and I've actually talked to all of them and I do know their work is real.
    Just for you to know, now it is 2 am where I live, I've been working till now just to have it all ready for the beta test and not to delay it anymore.

    We want to verify everything is working without any problems before realeasing it, to avoid things such as bricks or weird bugs. That's why the beta and further release will take so long. So far it is all progressing fine, and I do have proofs of, at least, my work.

    Here I bring you 2 proofs of how hard we are working (OpenPStore).
    1- We had a problem with a pre-made library to read .xml files (mxml), which was solved by manually coding a new .xml parser.
    xml_parser.h : http://pastebin.com/bqQr1YG5
    xml_parser.c : http://pastebin.com/A7DsysUJ
    (Don't expect to find any OpenPStore here, as it is only a .xml parser)


    2- Final GUI design of OpenPStore (Not a pic of a ps3, but from a PC. Though PS3 is exactly the same):
    It will come in multiple colors, with an autochanger (to random color) feature.


    If you want to I can keep you updated.
    JFW is real, and we are putting all our effort into it. Do not trust any fake release/leak! I don't know if the brick thing is true, but having seen all the work which has been done here, I would just trust it and not mess around.
    Nobody is going to brick nobody's console unless someone leaks the JFW. And, even if it is leaked, if you don't use the leaked beta, you dont' have to worry about anything. And ofcourse, the final release won't have this anti-leak feature.


    I also have to say thanks to everyone of you who do trust in us and give us support, as support and opinions is our only pay back for the work =)

    Blipi


    PS: If it was for me, I would translate JFW and it's homebrew to English and more languages, but as I am not the only one who works in this project, I don't know when English support will come or whether it will come or not. Sorry.

    PS2: For those claiming evidence... Beta will be here soon, just wait. You cant trust us or not. I know what I'm doing, and I do know that it is real.
    I don't even have a ps3 to test OpenPStore too, and I have to keep asking for testers. More than 5 people have already tried OpenPStore, and every one of them could tell you that it is real.

      And...just post on the forums?
      Yes because there aren't ANY other firmwares in the world EXCEPT English.
      They used a Spanish 3.41 base to make this so everything will be in Spanish.
      PS3 firmware is not only written in English, there are french 3.55 cfw french 3.41, Japanese, Chinese, any language.
      They used spanish, the release will be in Spanish.
      Also I'm aware of how to downgrade, but to enable QA flagging from what I read you NEED to have linux installed.
      I've heard talk of someone making a .pkg that does it from the XMB but I'm not aware of that ever coming into existence from my understanding to enable QA flagging you must do it from Linux.

      I'm extremely happy this is coming out I'm just pointing out possible issues.

      Every language is stored in every .pup. The language used is simply determined by a setting.

      And again, it doesn't even matter anyway. All the text could be stripped out entirely, and anyone who isn't an idiot could manage to use it just fine.

      every FW on every unit in every region is one in the same, I'm in America but if I preferred it be Japanese I'd change the language and *poof* Japanese

      .
      You don't need Linux just an OtherOS++ enabled CFW to install the QA flag

      i dont think a new cfw or any homebrew should be released to general public until its completely checked and tested, i think you could get into it and tested yourself, but a responsible developer will know best to restrict access to the software in order to avoid future bitchin' for installing something not compatible with them or not fully tested, i understand you want to use this now, i do to, but ill give the creator of this my best wishes and if he or she need translations for the cfw i would happily help, and of course, let them work on their creation.

      the ps3 is just fine with kmeaw 3.55 and everything else is just progress ,if you want PSN do what i do ,get another ps3 and play online ,if you cant afford another ps3 then update the one you got ,people should know that sony has a way to detect jailbreakers and going online with a jailbroken console is asking 4 truble ,that is not a fact but rather my opinion
      as for the newer games that require 3.6x firmware ,tough luck i say even on the xbox there are ap2.5 games that dont work
      ap 25 games work on 360, maybe not right now with the new live safe lt+1.9 fw but you can choose to play them if you want to give up your live and flash your drive or if you have a jtag u have no online anyways, with ps3 there is no psn and no new games playable , and there are like ,what, 5 ,or 6 ap25 games ? and we are going on what? 30 3.60+ games? and the new uncharted wll be 3.60 +and not all new 360 games use ap25,but all new ps3 games are not playable on 3.55 fw

      and since when is this jaicraib cfw supposed to enable psn anyways? i think if people are expecting it to do that they will be sorley disappointed, it is for cobra features and the open store and thats it , for ps1 and 2 backups and hopefully 4+bg games on external with no internal cached files ,and dvd and iso backup playback

      October? lol, and you just know there will either be a) glitches/bugs/crap in this CFW, b) delays for a real stable version or c) both...screw that.
      i dont know maybe he will release a 3.55 vesion ,or someone else might , but i wuldnt be ordering the obra right now, cause reguardless of weather you plan on using this cfw or not , we all know what is going to happen when it does get released, the price of the cobra will drop it like its hot , so kinda a bad idea to not be patient right now, just wait and you can get a dongle for $15 bucks i bet ,or free cfw

      What 3.55 cfw do I need now then to downgrade when I need to?
      I tried rebug and hated it...I got an RSOD basically the day I installed it.
      I don't use the psmfw but I suppose I could if that's what I needed to do, I just haven't had the need.

      You can use the mfw builder to add support for it with any .pup. Rebug 3.55.2 otheros++ will work as well, and is what i used to qa flag myself, before switching back to kmeaw.

      You may be better off skipping over the QA flagging completely, and using the regular, standard methods to downgrade. You can use any of the old dongles, PSGO, X3max, etc, random developer boards like teensy, or various phones, ipods, etc. to downgrade. Theres numerous tutorials all over the forum on how to downgrade using this method. That way you can skip installing linux, skip messing with QA flagging, and just simply downgrade. Note: As with QA flagging, you can still only downgrade from 3.55 or lower. Firmwares 3.56 and above edited the revocation list so the selfs we were using are not on the "white list" so to speak. Also, note that downgrading formats your hard drive, unless you have an original model, than you can loose blu-ray playback unless you make appropriate backups.

      You don't need to install linux, and you don't really need to "mess with qa flagging". You just run a .pkg, turn an option on, and install the .pup. I am not sure why people keep talking about it as if it requires hours of time, and a million complicated steps.

      I installed it using the pup glevland provides on getbrew "OTHEROS++ special pup" & QA flag extra pkg very easy no F/S mode at all

      yes people listen to stock2255 id ont what you people are talikg about you dont need linux or qa flag to downgrade, just a dongle or ipod or phone or ti calculator, and the required two lv2diag.sel files ,and what do you mean you loose blu ray playback , didnt they come up with a way to downgrade your 256 nand model without loosing the blu-ray playback? or is the only way to do it to backup and restore your dev flash 3 ?i thought there was another way to do it without loosing blu ray playback and without having to backup your dev flash? and i also thoguht that they came up with a solution for people who had already downgraded wothout a dev flash backup,or people ho need to downgrade and couldnt make a dev flash backup?and i think if you have a 256 then it wont reformat your hdd but if you have a 16 nor it will,or i may be thnking of changing a hdd only

      Dude I just bought the dongle for £25 with delivery and taxes as it's really hard to find in the UK and it's not about the money, it's the principle of supporting devs that actually bring something to the scene since the scene if you ask me is a piece of shit right now. £25 is nothing to me but these guys deserve it, they're actually doing something productive unlike others who are a) doing nothing, b) saying they can do something but just send people on a wild goose-chase (I'm looking at you mathieulh you cunt) or c) can do something but keeping quiet because they wish to release something for the good of the community but won't as they can't get their e-glory and feed their e-ego right now and it's pathetic.

      Now these Cobra dudes have come along and with their PS1/PS2/PS3 and Blu-Ray ISO loading amongst other things they've done that no one else has, they deserve support. Hell they've done this now for MONTHS and these joker "devs" of the current PS3 scene cannot even reverse-engineer this shit fully until October? **** waiting the whole summer, and I will not be pirating with this, I just want to select my games whether they be PS1/PS2 or PS3 games without a) getting off my butt and b) wearing out my PS3s laser.

      SUPPORT THE REAL DEVS OF THIS SCENE because ask yourself, if Cobra didn't release their dongle in the last few months, where the **** would this shitty scene even be right now? I'll tell you where, n00bs jerking off to the TEASE of a 3.56+ exploit or an amateur shitty FPS that no one in their right mind would give two honest shits about.

      Rant over.
