Signed and Unsigned Code...

[Splinge]

I know I'm going to incur the wrath for this, not having properly searched and whatnot, but as a guy who wants to install MultiMan on his console, I haven't the slightest idea, whether I will be running "signed or unsigned code" on my PS3. My specialty is in retail sales not programming, but I do enjoy hanging out reading in these and other forums for the shear rebellion. I currently use Open manager 2.1I and 3.41 Stock FW. I love what I see in the MultiManager, but am not sure it will work as I am set up. I saw the terms "signed and Unsigned code" and vaporlocked and now cannot tell what to download. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be most appreciative.

This should help.

kmeaw’s CFW is different from FLUKES1 and Wutangrza and anyone elses.

Basically kmeaws CFW has peek/poke and allows you to bypass PKG checks, like how it used to work on 3.41 . Therefore you don’t need to sign stuff like Geohots CFW.

Wutangrza’s CFW is basically what flukes1 released it just has peek/poke enabled but you can’t install PKG’s.

Geohot’s CFW can be installed over the top on Wutangrza’s CFW and allows you to install special signed PKG’s.

This LV2.pkg patch can be loaded from any CFW that has peek/poke, and adds syscalls for backup managers etc.

SUMMARY :

On Wutangrza’s/Geohot Firmware you have to use pkg’s signed with geohots tools.
On Kmeaw’s Firmware you can install any pkg. Like the ones from 3.41 and ones signed with geohot tools.

yes m8te it will work. jus grab urself the 3.41 version of multiman

the difference between signed and unsigned is the ability of signed apps to boot in retail mode without your dongle. they will not launch games tho but you will be able to use file manager in multiman, ftp and various other homebrew apps and emulators.

Thanks much guys. I think I've got it... I just do everything the same (dongle - Hermes). While I've got you here, can you tell me if it would be of any benefit to udate to 3.55? And then use Multiman for 3.55? I may be getting in over my head tho...

no real benefit now that psn has gone again this morning with new update,
just really a convenience as you dont have to power and eject every time. all the same apps work anyway

i would sit tight till new cfw comes out for 3.56 some encryption keys ave been found already so i dont think it will be a long wait.

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance. However, I am not much of an online guy, at least not gaming, I only play backups offline. But I will stay w/ 3.41 for now... Again, thanks.
