Hey guys,
I currently have a CECHG01 40 GB Spiderman Bundle phat PS3 (I believe it has 256 MB NOR flash memory) running 3.41 OFW. Gotten a little tired of jailbreaking with my Ti-89 calculator so I wanted to install Rebug 3.41.2 on it. Just wondering how safe it is to do so / if anyone can confirm it worked for them on this same model of PS3. I do realize that there is always an inherent risk in using CFW but I want to minimize that as much as possible.
TIA.
any current cfw, rebug included, has worked on every ps3 model i've ever come across - which is ALL of them. cecha, cechg, cechh, cech-200x, 2100x..... pretty much every ps3 ever made. i dont see why you'd need to go rebug, as kmeaw's cfw does everything any old-school jailbreak method ever did. rebug has some game compatibility issues, from what i understand, and only doesnt really offer a normal user much more over kmeaw anymore....
I have a lot of 3.41 packages installed that I don't want to risk messing up by upgrading to 3.55. Rebug just seemed to be the best supported 3.41 firmware and the black screening should be fixed in their upcoming update.
well v3.55 has it's own signed packages, so yes, those will all need to be replaced with ones specific to v3.55. by saying, "a lot of 3.41 packages installed", did you mean you have a lot of fixed eboot pkgs or something? there's only a handful of applicable "packages" any jailbroken ps3 would use - game manager, emulators, ftp program maybe (but the one built-in to multiman works fine), etc). rebug is based off of ofw v3.55, so you'll have the same problem with signed packages using that as well.
By 3.41 packages I mean blu-ray games that I converted into signed packages so I wouldn't have to jailbreak to play them and some old PSN games. Isn't rebug 3.41.2 based off of 3.41 ofw (doesn't really make sense for it not to be).
oh, well yeah, rebug v3.41.2 is based off of ofw v3.41.... but i thought you were talking about rebug v3.55.1, which is obviously based off of ofw v3.55. any cfw would pretty much get rid of the having to "jailbreak method" on every startup.... just need to run the game manager. however, v3.55 still has more game compatibility than v3.41... games like brink, mortak kombat, la noire, etc....
Mortal Kombat runs fine on 3.41 since I have it; 3.55/3.41 eboot fixes exist for all of the ones u mentioned - I have yet to encounter a game that works on 3.55 but not on 3.41 (after some eboot fixing of course).
then i dont see what your issue is? just do what you want... worst case is that it wont work, right? just go back to what you were doing before! simple
