Who is using MFW BuildeR?

[atreyu187]

So I am really impressed with this app and the "unknown" devs I want to say a big thanks!! My XMB is no longer cluttered and now with all the sweet new plugins I was able to create a MFW with custom boot logo, custom boot sound, custom font, CA24 & CA27 certificates all ready to flash. I even have it where it accepts more PKG's then Kmeaw for install as i haven't ran into a single 3.41 or WT/geo/Kmeaw made PKG that will not install. I have even had success with 3.41 PSN titles.

I bought High Velocity Bowling outright but wasn't able to redownload it as it was purchased back when PS3 was on v1.02 that is how long I have had a PS3. Anyhow I liked the game and stumbled upon a PKG of the PSN game a while back but it was 3.41 style and refused to install. Not with my new MFW we just played four sets about an hour ago.

And the fact we can remove all the junk from the XMB we don't want is another awesome feature. It is like Waninkoko for the sweet lv2 patching and Kmeaw for the ability to install most PKG files without any XMB clutter. I am in heaven, it was a long road though since I am on Windows 7 and the tools just seem to not work on this OS. I stumbled upon "XP mode" for Win7 which is just a virtual PC for XP that is free and easily setup. Anyhow got that working added the new plugins and did a little file swapping before it was built to add the missing files that didn't have a plugin and this is what I came up with.

It was a little scary as I didn't want to brick my PS3 but I had faith in the devs that did it and I triple checked it several times to make sure the MD5 files matched up. Once I got everything I wanted in there and got a matching MD5 I was ready to go and couldn't be happier. Never has my PS3 felt like it belongs to me. So who out there has tried this amazing tool and to those who have not what are you waiting for?

im waiting to see if someone bricks their ps3... no, no its just i have no reason to take the plunge yet. kmeaw, though not perfect, has fulfilled all my needs. i can see its important to you, but for people like myself its trivial. besides, if i decide to try it later, it will probably be even better than it is now. there is no rush.

btw, very intriguing post.

I was little weary at first seeing as it was my bc model with a 256mb nand after the whole waninikoko fiasco but these revs did a wonderful job and works like a treat as I tested the same firmware on a slim this afternoon as well.

CA24 & CA27 certificates all ready to flash

This caught my eye. You only need one of these as they're all added to one central trusted root anyway. You should only be using CA27 as CA24 has been proved to be required for Playstation Home and several other games.

I loved this comment. In the current climate, it's shocking how many people don't want you to have this feeling.

@Yuki I should have been a little more clear as I was originally using CA24.cer but have since switched to CA27.cer as I made backups of everything prior to my endeavor. BTW are you ther same Yuki that does all the rare FDS dumps and PCE dumps for UG? If so thanks for all your hard work preserving these gems as I know even playing a FDS game once can cause corruption. SO thanks if so either way for the work and the heads up!!
