New True Blue Dongle Firmware v2.6 Surfaces and then Dissapears - v2.51 Follows

[jac72]

Leaving would hurt their future sales though. I think they can sale a lot more of their product and just need to keep showing support, especially in the way of game patches. I'm an example of a person who only recently decided to stop waiting and bought one.

@tthousand

If JB King didnt run their mouth on how they can rip off any FW TB made there would of BEEN PATCHES

you cant blame TB for this.

JB king is really funny because that a dongle that's sole purpose is to LEECH off of TB. But it doesnt offers anything to the table like TB does. JB king should really just shut down.

And remember TB cares more about money than anything else they can just up and leave they dont really owe us anything honestly

You anus must hurt as you ride TBs penis more than any user I've seen

You anus must hurt as you ride TBs penis more than any user I've seen

It's probably his fingers that hurt from playing all the new games that TB makes possible.

@ Dialtone
what's your deal dude? How many times must I say that I am only in it for the games? 60 dollars to play 80 games sounds pretty fair to me. I've played plenty of games lol @Warning but the fact of the matter like I said if people dont like them they need to start on cracking newer games until them they honestly have no room to talk about anyone who has made progress while the (erm free scene has not when it comes to gaming above 3.55)

[barelynotlegal]

i updated to 2.6 and had no problems i have the cinivia thing installed but been playing fine allday and what up with rage that game plays fine with the tb dongle i played it with out any problems

really? ur on 2.6 or what FW
(Ssorry bout the double post, moto photon/firefox browser does not like me commenting as you can see

@dialtone - Relax and tone it down - Get it? "TONE" it down.

I know it was a bad joke, but seriously there's no need for that kind of thing

[Goku1992]

I think it's best to NOT try to update or do anything since there are no eboot patches. These are the buggy stages

Remember the Wanky CFW 3.50 (or 3.55 forgot which it was) how people bricking their ps3's being so QUICK to try it out.

Just sit back and relax and wait for the 100% okay

[BahumatLord]

Yes, do not update until it's fixed. I updated to 2.6 to try it out and see why people were having problems with it. I removed Rebug's spoof and everything seemed to be OK with the install until I booted up Arkham City. I've got the Catwoman DLC and it stopped working. Running ReActPSN again didn't help. I went back and checked other DLC and PSN content and the only stuff that worked was the patched content.

I then went back to 2.5 and my DLC was still gone. It took almost an hour to get it restored and working again.

The bottom line is wait until it's fixed and anybody that's not familiar with system recovery and repair should wait until it is thorughly tested and verified that everything's working before you update

All I can say is thats not all true man. as for the purpose of the JBking. it's not to leech off the work of others but rather just to offer users a cheaper alternative. so if someone cracked the payload and released a new CFW that required no dongle would you say thats to leech? True blue has every right to protect there stuff but when they start harming the things I worked hard for and spent my hard earned money on to do so they are going too far. bricking the dongle if an unauthorized mod is made to the firmware ok. Bricking competetors dongles using there software ok. bricking or in any other way modifying my console in a manner that I have not explicitly concented to is just out right BS. if you disagree with my views go blow it out your ass Goku cuz it's getting really ****ing old watching you sit here and defend a bunch of lying thieving bastards when they start breaking others stuff because they are upset. the true blue team is like a bunch of pissed off little kids! Oh you made us mad but there is nothing we can do! I know we will threaten and break the shit belonging to those that dont follow our rules! and frankly I'm against the dongles all together but thats just me....

@Mad Mike 96

(In B4 Rant)

Until the day JB King start making their OWN EBOOTS. Then I will show them a drop of respect. As far as I'm concerned, their whole purpose is to just leech off of TB. And I love the way you throw around the word thief. (Love it bro) But if you have atleast one pirated ps3 game on your ps3 that doesnt make you any better than them?

What about the REAL DEVELOPERS who made the game arent they being short changed?

If you have a backup manager on your ps3 there is a pretty good chance you are playing ONE game that you did NOT pay for. But if a group of developers come together with a solution and ask for a PRICE that makes them a thief lol (where is the logic?)

You know and I know people hacked their ps3's to play games. When it comes down to it. When a group like JB king cant offer nothing but copy... well they honestly deserve to have their dongles bricked. After all TB havent made any eboots since 3/19 where is JB king to take the throne? No where

I dont defend TB at all. They done nothing wrong to me they gave me what I want and really bro for 60 bucks they are giving it away. I CARE ABOUT PLAYING GAMES! TB did something that other people did not do.

Why do people hate them because they are not open sourced? Umm history check doesnt open source cause it to get patched? Do we need a key reminder on why there is NOT a cfw because of open source? FlashKarts,ModChips,Pandora Batterys, FreeMcboot Memory cards

Doesnt matter if it's hardware or software

THEY MADE THE FRIGGING DONGLE! Not you or anyone else What really give people right to say they are wrong for charging? FPL charge people for lights Hospitals charge people to stay in good health Colleges charge people to get a higher education. WHAT MAKES A SCENE REALLY DIFFRENT

When most people (LOL) leech and download a game and call it a day. (Dont you dare say you dont do it)
I did it and no I never donated to a dev but when the free game wagon stops and new guys wanna charge 60 bucks? I'm going to go against it (when I PIRATED way much more than 60 bucks) I would really be insane. I AM ONLY IN IT FOR THE GAMES. Like I told someone I charge people for stuff I got for free and I made some decent money off of it. I charged a guy 40 bucks to put free mcboot on his ps2, I charged people 60 bucks a piece to hack their psp and the list go so on and so forth. I guess I like TB because I am just like them. Anything I do when it comes to hacking somethin I charge for it. That is just me Krytonic called me greedy and I deserve no respect but bro that's the way I am. Take a look on ebay you see alot of it. People just love money... If people thought the way some of you guys think, there will never be millionares or billionares evreyone would live all the same. Really GROW UP

FYI why do you think PSX-SCENE have advertisements up for decorations? NO if they DONT pay for their DOMAIN and monthly or yearly services this site gets SHUT DOWN. Everything haves a price

If the top companies could charge you for the air you breath they would LOL

seriously though what natural resource doesnt cost?

[dialtone]

@Goku1992: First off maybe I should have explained myself more in my previous post. Almost everytime I see you post your praising/defending TB like a fan boy and I would definitely claim from what I've seen your their biggest supporter.

"Until the day JB King start making their OWN EBOOTS. Then I will show them a drop of respect. "

This is about the only thing I will agree with you on. JB King should start doing their own eboots as only good can come from it such as securing their innocent end users from TB malicious code/attacks and then TB fan boys won't have any merit in their argument against them as they are doing their own work. Personally I've got no interest in either since their hasn't been an offline PS3 exclusive that hasn't been playable on 3.55 to tempt me into buying a DRM dongle (Last PS3 exclusive I was interested in was Uncharted 3 which luckily was patched for 3.55 although if it hadn't I may have just purchased a copy to enjoy the online for replay ability like I did Twisted Metal, but if a PS3 exclusive does come down the road with no interesting online features I may be tempted in getting a dongle if no solution has been found).

"When it comes down to it. When a group like JB king cant offer nothing but copy... well they honestly deserve to have their dongles bricked. After all TB havent made any eboots since 3/19 where is JB king to take the throne? No where"

Action against JB King is one thing but against innocent end users of the device is another. There are users who stumble across their product that are unaware of it being a clone and that it's using another team's patches. Say these innocent uninformed users store a lot of personal data like their family pictures on their PS3 and then have their data destroyed by TB's malicious code. I don't see how you can justify TB's actions as they are mainly attacking innocent end users.

"I dont defend TB at all. They done nothing wrong to me they gave me what I want and really bro for 60 bucks they are giving it away. I CARE ABOUT PLAYING GAMES! TB did something that other people did not do."

Actually most of your posts are praising/defending them like a good little TB fan boy.

Why do people hate them because they are not open sourced? Umm history check doesnt open source cause it to get patched? Do we need a key reminder on why there is NOT a cfw because of open source? FlashKarts,ModChips,Pandora Batterys, FreeMcboot Memory cards

Doesnt matter if it's hardware or software

Really are you comparing the dongles which only exist to DRM the code for profit to other historic hardware? The difference is huge, if someone cracks the DRM or the clones release the code, the dongle is obsolete as its only purpose is to protect the code. Lol can't believe you dare compare that to some of the greatest hardware advances.

"FYI why do you think PSX-SCENE have advertisements up for decorations? NO if they DONT pay for their DOMAIN and monthly or yearly services this site gets SHUT DOWN. Everything haves a price"

Yeah that's cause domains and bandwidth cost money, coding had no out of pocket costs and a lot do it as a hobby so your comparison is wrong. Take good ol wololo and his Vita Homebrew Loader (VHBL), he's putting in hard work and releases his code to the community and those that wanted to compensate him for his work, he's such a great guy directs them to donate to red cross instead. I'm assuming by your handle that you were born in 1992 and thus we come from different generations and it's your kind of mentality that worries me about the future. Growing up with all kinds of now obsolete hardware, dialing into different bbs, war dialing prefixes, messing with different linux/os's distros, and learning different languages were all just fun things to do as a hobby because technology was evolving and it was interesting which I think a lot of you new kids are taking for granted. It was rare to see someone's main focus to profit from their developments, it was done for fun, learning, accomplishment, and praise. That being said I'm not going to hate on someone who does want financial gain from their work it's just disappointing that in this case I could free up a usb slot with an unneeded dongle but hey that's life, and I'm now an adult and can afford to throw money at these things not like when I was a kid, it just makes me worry about this new generation and values that are being praised.

On a side note about your quote on psx-scene and its advertisements, personally its unfortunate at how psx-scene stacks up to other related sites. Their advertisements are obtrusive, annoying, and unwelcoming although with a little know how can be semi fixed by us visitors themselves altho it's a shame we have to, not saying there shouldn't be ads, someones got to pay the bills just wish it had been implemented better. Then you have the staff, some of which do an alright job but news submission is usually very delayed. Seems almost like a TB/JBK scenario itself where other sites report and then psx-scene relays and also relies on member submission to notify. You also get a lot of these opinion articles that have no news merit to them at all that more likely should be on a blog or at least on the forums rather than the front page but it seems since Sony chased away a lot (not all) of the serious talent from this scene there is never much good news to report so they must create something and lately it seems they like to hype the dongle wars. Hope they take some of this constructive criticism, take a step back and look at themselves as well as the competition and make some good alterations.

[tthousand]

I am going to have to disagree with you about the news dialtone, otherwise nice read. Only in the past few days has there been a decent amount of editorials. Previously, they were few and far between, and usually touching on advances we are making. And what is it against editorials, where is the problem in trying to open up a discussion on the latest scene topics, where we can support feedback and open mindedness. As for being slow on the news, I am not sure what you are talking about. Perhaps several hours sometimes. But if it is very late it is only because of complications with the information, and we want to give our members the best. Rarely do we rely on member news submissions, but it does make things nice for us when we have a chance to enjoy ourselves while writing the latest news brief. I would like to ask who are these other websites that are reporting news faster than us? The way I see it around the internet people link to us as the source a lot of the time because we/I/another-writer went out of our/my/there way to find something that no one else had reported on yet. You are talking a big game, but you are not making many points, so it is hard to see it as constructive. The only remotely constructive thing was the part about 'different types of ads'. Perhaps you want to see some links to the latest places to buy TB and CB and HDDs full of WAREZ. Again, without making any constructive points, it is hard to follow and understand your argument.

@Dialtone
The reason why I praise/defend them is because they are the ONLY people that are doing things right for a change. But the fact of the matter is they made the dongle.The ps3 scene did not slow down because of them. The scene is in the shape that it is in because many devs pulled out. Or the really good ones left or got sued. Yes I was born in 1992. But here is my intake the reason why I jailbroke my ps3 was for gaming (sure emulators sound cool) but my only reason was for the free games. Well the free game wagon stoped and honestly I didnt buy a TB when it 1st came out I bought it around march. I waited for a free solution but none came. The more releases TB made the more tempted I became until I just gave in and shelled out the 70 bucks (10dollar shipping fee) Honestly I only played like 3 or 4 out the 80 games TB had to offer. TB isnt that cracked up to be (yeah I said it) most games require online hence I tried to sell my ps3 (since I bought a 360 and flashed it) but I couldnt sell it but I sold my TB dongle (yeah I sold it) but my friend didnt like it and I got my dongle back and then I took it to a guy I know and just dualbooted my PS3 and honestly I kinda stay on the OFW more than I do my TB dongle If I am on TB it is for wwe12 or the darkness 2.

I pirate games alot also I buy alot of games so maybe 70 bucks were the same like buying a brand new game and I didnt think much of when I bought TB. but TB did nothing wrong to anyone. Try shelling out 120 on MW3 and BF3 just to pay online then shell out 40 on Dark Souls so I know the difference. Like I told you earlier I make money on the side by selling free stuff (hence why I have the funds to buy all of those games) So in some ways I am like TB. Money motivated and greedy just like Kryronic (Main Opposer of TB) said about me.

Try making over 300 bucks off of something you got in 5 minutes for free you think you are going to tell what you sold and how you did it? For evreyone to try to do what you are doing and mess up your business? Come to think of it you are right I do PRAISE them because I am JUST LIKE THEM (money motivated and greedy). But back to on topic you cant blame the scene on TB. Make things happen instead of waiting on devs to do it for you. But really in all honesty I really wish I could do all of this ps3 hacking stuff. Wouldnt hurt to slap a DRM on something and cash in but hey that's me for ya.

[dialtone]

@tthousand: lol dood don't get offended, I'm just trying to point out some of the things that make the site seem like an eyesore, headache, and sorta lame, all while trying to do so as delicately as possible and not to hurt anyone's sensitive feelings which you pretty much wrote an entire one of those 'opinion' articles on just recently titled 'Tyranny of the Scene - tthousand's tthoughts' that pretty much outlines how to properly express your thoughts without being reprimanded in a G rated manor that will come across as constructive criticism and I thought I followed the guideline pretty well but maybe I should elaborate. I wasn't talking about the types of ads you offer, advertise what you like I as one person opinion feel its a bit of a headache/eyesore when ads take up approx. over 50% of the front page and also the video/audio ads that automatically play and blast an unexpecting users speakers is quite obtrusive, I'd love to show you an example of sites that do a wonderful job at ad placement that still draw in lots of ad revenue without being obtrusive to their visitors but it's probably against the TOS to link other sites and will get an infraction from you...As for the news, there's nothing really wrong with editorials it just seems as they are puff pieces to fill in slow news days and technically have nothing to do with scene news and thus personally think they should be placed on a blog or in the forum for discussion and not the main news page but that's just my opinion. As for my opinion on news being posted late it just seems like most of the time psx-scene is always a couple hours if not longer behind other sites which you even acknowledge in your previous post and I quote 'Perhaps several hours sometimes' which makes it seem, at least personally that your generally late to the party and reporting off other site and member submissions or just seems that way to me personally because my main/default news site (which shall remain nameless due to possible site infraction) is almost always first to the table with news submissions getting them directly from the horses mouth so to say. I do agree with your statement on going out of your way to get the news directly which then in turn has others using you as the source, need to have a relationship with scene devs and the forums they frequent to have a leg up in the game and it's just my personal opinion that it largely doesn't seem to be happening most of the time. I hope elaborating on my opinions has helped you to understand more of where I'm coming from and hope I lived up to the expectations of your 'Tyranny of the Scene' editorial of how to spoon feed my criticism constructively without hurting anyone's sensitive feelings.

@Goku1992 - All I have to say is wowwwww.....smh

[BahumatLord]

I don't see anything wrong with opening up a discussion based on an opinion or editorial. There is a lot of good that comes from people getting together. As for being late to the party - We post news and link to other sites and other sites link to us. It's just how it works. We try to give credit where credit is due instead of trying to claim things as ours that really aren't. Other sites have been known to do that frequently.

tthousand works really hard to keep you guys updated and sometimes things are overlooked. It happens and it's always corrected when discovered. Keep in mind that the staff here really can't be called staff meaning that we aren't paid for doing this. It is a hobby that we believe in and we want to see the scene progress

You can say whatever you want. We're just trying to put a stop to this kind of thing which we see way too much around here

A lot of that is just people getting frustrated but you can see how negative and destructive things like that can be. It stops people from wanting to post comments for fear of responses like that and it stops devs from wanting to contribute to an ungrateful, childish, and hate-filled scene

I do agree with him that the ads are definitely too much, with sound being blasted through the speakers randomly and taking up half of the page. This site does get enougth from ads, after all, there are competitions giving out cash prizes each month.

I am not saying to get rid of them, or to change them so you get less and have to cut the monthly contests. Just to find a way to get the same amount of money, but not so.... Annoying and deafening. It is possible because I see it on sites all the time.

Also I see nothing wrong with a post on the front page to start discussions. This is not a specialised newspaper lol.

Your preaching to the choir, I just got my ears blasted off from some airwick commercial on here which I usually have it all blocked but firefox just updated to I believe 12 and my permissions were down for some off reason, speakers were up and I was unexpected and it scared the living shishkabob out of me and slight killed my buzz #^%#^&. Also I don't think editorials are a huge no no, just imho think they should be left to the forums for discussion especially when 2 are posted basically in the same day 8 hours apart but granted editorials on here haven't been a consistent and everyday thing and I would have to say my major gripe would be with the obtrusive ads and only news submission if I was a user that wanted to make this my default site for getting news, I however want developments at the drop of a hat so use scene sites with the most reliable track record along with my own personal dev hangouts such as irc, dev forums, ect (eg: If you hung around wololo /talk forums you were privy to the exploited game title for 1.67 VHBL a week before the official announcement and news sites picking up on it).

I really hope that end statement was not directed at me as there is no way to compare the hard skillful work of devs to psx-scene news blogging. I've got nothing but the most utter respect for any developer and their advancements/work no matter how big or small the contribution and I take offense to such accusations as you will never find anywhere me being nothing but appreciative for the hard work of the devs in the community and never have I been ungrateful, childish, or hate filled to their contributions. even in hindsight teams like TB which I do not have too much respect for their moral compass/values as I believe they are askew but even under the accusations they piggy backed off others findings to create a way to boot the newer games the fact remains they did figure out the secret and even if they did slap it to a dongle with DRM to protect their code for financial gain, it has got to be respected that they made an significant advancement to the PS3 scene, even if they shared it for financial gain which is their prerogative the fact is they shared it. I think its horrible they directed their malicious code to innocent end users of another product when their attacks should have only been directed at JBK themselves but I still respect their contribution to the PS3 scene and that goes to any advancement no matter how big or small and challenge you to back up your unfounded claims against me in ever bashing anothers contributions because I know you will never find such conduct on my behalf.
