i heard that this chip lets you play backups online what is needed to play backups online and which version does this because on the site it shows 3 different versions

**Jones23** · 05-29-2006,12:05 PM

every CC does.
you need the hacked Firmware19 in order to play backups online.
with the original FW you can only play your original games.
the hacked FW plays the backups, even online!

www.sksapps.com has a lot of goodies, including firmware.

Bootmanager adds capabilities, like the ability to play backups online, switch the video from PAL to NTSC, etc. If you need to use these capabilities for the game you're playing, you'll need Bootmanager. If not, the game will just boot without the enhancements BM provides.

And BM is on the firmware upgrade CD. When you boot the upgrade disk you'll get the option to both flash the firmware and put BM on a memory card.

No! Backups will work without BM.
BM is only needed for online-gaming, RGB-fix, NTSC/PAL-patch, and so on..
