Been away from the scene for a while, need an update.

I recently transferred to a university and haven't had much time to play video games. My PS3 has been sitting in my dorm room gathering dust and now I'm on spring break, so I have a little time to play. The game I want to beat is Jak and Daxter HD Collection, but from what I've read the game requires a True Blue dongle. I'm thinking about purchasing one or a JB-King, since it seems similar and cheaper. My console is currently on 3.41 Hermes CFW and I have a few questions:

1. I understand that I must be on 3.55 OFW before updating to the True Blue 3.55 CFW, but what should the steps be? 3.41 Hermes --> 3.42 OFW (to remove the CFW) --> 3.55 OFW --> 3.55 TB CFW?

2. Most of my games have custom eboots to bypass higher firmware requirements. Now that I'm going to be on 3.55 FW, these eboots aren't necessary anymore. So my question to you is whether the custom eboots will prevent me from playing these games. If so, is there a website with untouched eboots because I would prefer to not have to re-rip a the files from each game.

Thanks.

Sup Bro,

All of your old backups would work and yes you have it right. And no your other games would be fine anyways dont do anything until you buy a TB

1. Buy the TB dongle 1st (I seriously recommend it) Mod Chip Central

2. When the dongle gets here update to 3.55 OFW then 3.55 TB CFW

3. Your dongle should already be on 2.5 so all you need to do is plug it in BEFORE you cut on your PS3

4. For the game patches go to PS3Scenefiles (google it) they are already there

5. Some files would be in 3 parts psv.001 psv. 002 psv 003 and etc..etc.. it's best to get 7zip and extract them (win rar wont do it.) 1st Unzip the files with Winrar then use 7zip extraction for the other files

6. Copy the patch Eboot/PRAM.SFO over the backed up game
