3.41 Noob... Cant get anything to work :p

[really_wacky]

Hi i joined when 3.55CFW came out. Before that ive never even seen a PS3 before. So i never used a dongle and have no expirence with 3.41 what so ever. Yesterday i downgraded a friends PS3 from 3.55(Rebug) to 3.41 Hermes, i had to put the BD drive back in to downgrade. I succesfully downgraded, but i couldnt run any homebrew. When i pulled the BD drive back out i could run homebrew again.

Now the problems im having... First i tried just installed Multiman 2.00.04, and BDEMU2. When i mounted any game and tried to run it via "*/app_home/PS3_GAME/" i got the (80028f14) error.

So i went to the Hermes 3.41CFW topic.
After 30 pages of reading useless info like: thanks this works or 3.55 is mutch better... I finally realised i need to run "Hermes payloadV4D" everytime i reboot. But this didnt help at all still get the (80028f14) error.

So i tried using Hermes Manger 1.5, choose a game that has a -3.41 eboot. And BB mirrored it. Now the game boots but all the icons in XMB look like they are corrupt.

So multiman doesnt work at all.
Hermes manager Gives me corrupt icons.
And i dont understand how i have to mod my game to work on 3.41 at all
Ive read the "EBOOT_FIX/EBOOT_MOD" thread multiple times, I dont understand what files i have to replace with the original onces? :S the "Retail" ones or the "NPDRM" ones.

Most of what people are saying around here goes way above my head, i barely understand what a payload is, or what NPDRM means....
So could someone please explain it to me like he would be explaining it to a retarded kid

Any info about what i need to know about 3.41 is welcome

Thanks in advance

Are you using pkg files that have been signed for 3.55? Also why would be rather be on 3.41? I see no real advantages to this.

That was my first thought...........why ?!

[master737373]

With corrupt icons, I know I had to press triangle then open, or whatever the word it uses was. Also, why'd the ps3 need to be downgraded?

The PS3 doesnt have a Blu ray drive anymore. And 3.41 hermes has the best discless support... But do you really have to load the payload everytime?

And why cant i launch games i mounted with multiman :S

both multiMAN and H Manager have the payload incorporated so no you don't have to run payload every time. I haven't read any latest test but I would think Hermes payload on 3.55 wouldn't be ant different than on 3.41

If I understand correctly you still need a BD-drive (working or not) to launch homebrew and games (discless booting). Wise words from BD-master M. Webber:

http://psx-scene.com/forums/828397-post515.html (Finally Remarry BD Drives To Other Consoles)

If you still have BD-controlboard (or whatever it is called), then try this:

http://psx-scene.com/forums/f118/fix...aydrive-78684/ (FIX for PS3's connected only with bluraycontroller without bluraydrive!)

But I recommend that you buy BD-drive for your console, even a dead one should be enough and remarry that to your PS3. CECHG04 > KES-400A(drive) KEM-400AAA (controlboard).

maybe he is getting hermes 3.42 cfw and 3.41 ofw with hermes payload that is used on a dongle and has to used everytime to jailbreak the system,mixed up?
kind of bbrings me to a question i have been wondering about though
does anyone know if hermes 3.41 cfw has all the same benefits of of being on 3.41 ofw and using hermes payload an a dongle?
like is the discless compatibility the same? and is the 3rd party controller support the same
and the game compatibility the same for both?
or is there any advantages to using 3.41ofw with a dongle over hermes 3.41cfw?

if i knew the answer i could better advise him on what to do ,cause all these people saying that there is no benefit to being on 3.41 ,i know are wrong if we are talking about using 3.41ofw with a dongle and hermes paylosd
but with 3.41cfw i am not sure ,it maight not have advantages over 3.55kmeaw like 3.41cfw and a dongle does

i would think that the donle and 3.41 does have advantages over 3.41 cfw by hermes because all the people on here that i see posting that say they prefer 3.41 are using dongles.so if they could install 3.41cfw and not have to hit power eject and jb at every boot and still have the advantages i would think that they would do it
or maybe not,maybe they have the if aint broke ,dont fix it mentality and doing the break at every boot doesnt bother them?
