      God, please someone guide how to, where to add these files. I am really new to downgrading. A complete downgrading guide with telling what to do with these additional files would be excellent. But anyhow this is great news!

      Use PS3Muxer to put the .mkv into .m2ts format (Blu Ray Container) and the PS3 will play it. Only takes 1-2 minutes to convert a full-time movie (1080p) into this format.

      Google for "PS3Muxer"

      I have also read in other forums where you can run unmodified 3.41 pup by holding down the power button until you get the hidden menu and applying it by selecting the last option "Update PS3"... not confirmed yet.

      I've downgraded from 3.50 to modified 3.41 pup in service mode. Then downgraded with standard 3.15 pup in service mode. Then loaded modified 3.41 pup again. Blu-ray movies works fine now!! I have compiled a hex that i used on a ps3speed usb dongle.

      this news was debunked even before it was ever posted here. this should be removed asap

      there is a 140+ page thread here on http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/warni.../index143.html (WARNING! RED ALERT! DOWNGRADING KILLS BLU-RAY MOVIE PLAYBACK!)

      on why this doesnt work it has been covered multiple times in the thread that those files have nothing to do with the bd playback

      jailbreak only works in 3.41... you have a spoofed 3.41 :P
      Remove the usb dongle and power on your console.. in settings it will show 3.41 NOT 3.50!

      I should mention that it is now know that this issue is only related to fats and not slims. fats loose bd playback on downgrade slims do not possibly cause the.self file was written for the slim and not the fats
