  • True Blue Firmeware v2.7 - Clone Checking Update

    The True Blue team is back today with their latest firmware release, version 2.7. With this release, comes the promised clone-checking feature, as well as another update that will fix game compatability for recent 4.xx games. You can find out more information below on how to tell if you dongle is a clone or the real-thing by downloading the latest firmware, and following the simple instructions below.


    About True Blue Firmeware v2.7:
    True Blue dongle firmware v2.7 has been released. Changes include:
    • True Blue dongle authenticity status displayed on PS3 XMB system information screen
    • Fixed yet another important game compatibility issue affecting recent 4.xx games

    The authenticity status display can be used to determine if your True Blue dongle is either authentic or a clone. For further details, see the information page.
    Additional Information:
    Q: How can I verify that my True Blue is authentic and not a clone?

    A: Install True Blue dongle firmware v2.7 or later. Then in the PS3 XMB, navigate to Settings -> System Settings -> System Information. Next to the "System Software" version will be information relating to your True Blue dongle. If your dongle is authentic then it will display something like "True Blue v2.7" (this will vary depending on the version of the dongle firmware you have installed). If your dongle is a clone then it will display "True Blue CLONE" as shown in the following image:

      I just did mine with no problem. I left my TB in the left slot and didn't bother to unplug my USB drive in the right slot. If you can't get it to work, then boot your PS3 without the dongle and treat it like a completely new install like your dongle shipped blank. Don't insert the dongle until prompted. If still having problems, try a different USB port

But alas, such people are long gone from the scene, all thats left is children, crooks & profiteers. Granted there are some good things like the psl1ght stuff etc, but for the most part, it's all rubbish
      They're still around. They are the one making the clones. Why singled out TB if there's a couple of clones floating around. You know what? From now on I will boycott TB. I will not update my TB until I can't play those new games ( unless they tell me i need to update).

      Someone really needs to sort out these haters. All they do is cause arguments and trouble where their doesnt need to be any. The news about TB updates should be reserved for people that have something constructive to say about it.

      "I'm a top ranking scene member that contributes loads to the research of the PS3 and anything that does otherwise is something i need to get involved in even though im just another kid leeching games where i can but wont tell anyone" isnt constructive

      Those that are reporting that the update gets stuck. Here is the solution:

      When you get the message to insert the dongle, go ahead insert it, and wait about 10 second before you press the OK. I think what happens is that you guys press OK as soon as you insert the dongle and it doesn't give plenty of time for the PS3 to detect the dongle. Try this next time.

      I can vouch for this - the first time when it got stuck on 23% I'd pressed OK straight after plugging in the dongle. The second time round, I waited until the "Unknown USB Device Has Been Connected" message had flashed up 4 times and then disappeared before pressing OK and it worked perfectly.

      Really hoping for a game that probably no one else cares about 'Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge' c'mon paradox you've already given us Rugby World Cup which was utter crap, just this one and i'll be happy

      Just noting I had no issue with the update. Didn't even take my TB dongle out. I just booted up, installed the pkg, loaded it, pressed OK, and it installed. Tested my games and all works fine.

      If all these smart devs are still out there hiding, they need to work on a permanent fix to needing patches, a modchip! When PS2 was modded there was no need for patches, updates, blah blah blah. I know the encryption and DRM has changed a lot but I believe it could be done in time. But until then may TB will release some more quality titles after this new update!

      It looks like the only problems were with people being impatient or giving up on the first attempt. It's good to see no clone reports yet
