We need a dual firmware boot! (CFW and OFW)

**DNX** · 02-20-2011,11:06 AM

I'd like to play games (offline) backups via a BM (PES11,NFSP,Dragonball RB2).
But would also play original games like GT5 and Black Ops Online via PSN (without a ban).

At this moment I'm on 3.55 CFW and disconnected of the internet.

Why can't someone create a dual firmware boot to make this possible?

Something like this:

BOOT SCREEN:
- CFW
- OFW

This could make everybody happy

Just a guess...You would need to decrypt the PS3 file system properly so you can make two partitions on one hard drive as each FW would need to be on one partition. 256MB nands may be better suited but the 16MB nor would be difficult. just my 2p worth

great idea to be honest

graf said, that is not impossible, but very tricky and needs a shitload of work...

Very good idea!So if you want to play online you will have to buy the game like with pc games!

CFW With Dual Boot Option, GameOS or Linux booted from HDD – Graf_Chokolo - PS3Crunch

Some people are out of reach...
If that was really easy don't you think that it would have already done?
One of the best ps3 scene's hacker, Graf, was working on it, just wait and maybe some day he'll come up with a solution... or not.

Wouldn't Sony be able to just scan your hard drive with their new feature in 3.56 ofw, SEE THAT YOU HAVE DUAL BOOTING FIRMWARES, AND THEN BAN YOU? O.o

Maybe, i'm sure they can but anyway we'll don't know till we see this coming.
