  • 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)
    * Backward-Console PAL, NTSC FAT
    * Game-Original 3.56 (not dispensable)
    * Console with Firmware 3.41 or less
    * Original game-PS2, PS1, PS3
    * Backup of the above both PS3, PS2, PS1 (PS3 unpatched)
    * 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)

    * User-Spanish speaking (in Spanish beta)
    * Internet Connection on the PS3 (not psn)
    * Console not backwards-PAL, NTSC FAT
    * Game-Original 3.56 (not dispensable)
    * Console with Firmware 3.41 or less
    * Original game-PS2, PS1, PS3
    * Backup of the above both PS3, PS2, PS1 (PS3 unpatched)
    * Game store NPDRM 3.56 or 355 (not psone)

    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.

      pretty pathethic, and I don't care what kind of idiot answer my post. The scene is death, if the cfw can't handle games 3.56+ and the balance updates who requires 3.60 keys in figthing games it's not worth the time. ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, batman arkham city, uncharted 3, gundam extreme vs, modern warfare 3, resistance 3, and so on..... all those games > stupid homebrew games. I've two ps3 but still I'll not sacrifice the chance to play ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 nor gundam exvs in two ps3, specially the last one with the lan option. I'll not sacrifice balance in figthing games because without the balance patchs there are usless and cfw can't even use updates with 3.60 keys. And yes, I guarantee that in november 15 you will still have pathethic cfw with only 3.55- games compatibility xDDDD. Now I'll enjoy how this crappy scene suffers when all those amazing games comes out in november because IT WON'T BE A CFW FOR 3.56+ ON NOVEMBER NOR THIS YEAR!!! Maybe you will get cfw 3.60 when ofw 4.00 is released xDDDD keep releasing pathethic showtime programs, crappy emulators and homebrew games

      I don't understand how people can be so rude and inconsiderate towards this scene and what people don't have yet. I for one believe that if you would like to play your games and use their online service, you should pay for the damn thing. Just like the 360 in the day. If you liked a game and wanted to play it online the safest way was to play a real copy online so you didn't get banned. Besides if you have to play a game online, you must like it that much, so why not buy it and show support for the developers. How much more do you need? Playing online with burnt/pirated games just sounds so dirty anyways. I remember seeing the call of duty hacks and that really does ruin good competitive fair online play. It's really a nightmare. Anyways, its kind of like this topic, the cobra USB. They figured it out, so why not support them a little? I don't say it's a bad idea to clone it, I'm just pissed that people have the nerve to complain and be pissed that its not out and free yet. Grow up people, be thankful for what you have

      Absolutely, support the devs and STFU if you're not just because you want something for free, trolling bastards.

      Apparently you can't tell the difference between playing a copied game online and CHEATING on that game.

      The main draw of jfw is being able to play ps1/2 backups. If you care about that, then it i by far the best cfw ever made, and will certainly be worth downgrading for. If you don't care about playing ps1/2 backups, then it really doesn't matter. It does have some other features, but they are mostly insignificant.
