Article: Sony Gearing Up To Issue The Ban Hammer - CFW Users Beware!

I can concur. Cannot play with my main account. Stil receiving server error but using secondary account works fine.

Does the region of your game disc match the region of your secondary PSN account? I was just curious because my main non-working account is US, my game is UK and my secondary working account is also UK

afaik, ps3 games are region free, and the game has to have a server in your country for you to get online. so if u are playing a jap game in usa and the game doesnt have a server or isnt compat with the usa server then u cant play online.
thats what i gathered from trying to find out about playing a eur dark souls with my friend here in canada.

Not all games are region free anymore. Persona 4 is region locked to NTSC and PAL. That's what made me think if your user account region didn't match the game region, then you wouldn't be able to connect to a server

I have a PAL ps3, but the NTSC game and it works just fine for me, granted I cant update the game since that will give me errors.
Not sure if it is working simply becourse Im not logged into PSN when I boot the game. But hey it works for me

[Dielk]

Yes. I use Rebug 4.21 spoofed to 4.31 via Rebug Toolbox. I turned off automatic sign in so multiMAN or showtime or anything else will show. Before logging in I'll boot multiMAN to either just clear the history or to load a game. Once back to the XMB I'll sign in for my game or to go to the store

No issues

This is pure genius. 1 question, ahm how do I clear my history on 4.21 rebug mr bahamutlord?

If I recall correctly, Microsoft didn't start banning 360's until someone figured out a way to cheat in Gears of War. Even Nintendo wasn't banning Wii's until people used modified Wiis to cheat in Mario Kart Wiis and as far as I know only cheaters were banned.

Then again there are pure cheaters and people who exploit bugs in the game. Believe me, it's no fun spending weeks getting up to 10th prestige level 70 only to get reset back to level 1 because some jackwagon thinks it funny.

I say ban the cheaters and leave the rest of us in peace. There are those of us who do buy PS3 games. I've spent hundreds in the PSN Store and on retail games.

Sure most of my time is spent on the 360, but if I like a game enough (Borderlands anyone) I'll buy it for all systems and play it until I've done everything I can possibly do.

I was on PSN with CFW 3.55 back when Sony sent out these same emails and I'm still on PSN today with Rogero 4.30. Of course I sign-off when using homebrew as that's just asking for trouble when your profile on Sony's site says your playing an unofficial game.

I have to laugh when they call CFW "Malicious". It's only "Malicious" to their wallets if people use it to pirate but cheating online is just plain wrong.

You load Multiman, select a game so it goes back to XMB, your history is cleared.

[JOshISPoser]

would it be terrible to be signed in and use multiman? mainly cause i'm curious if it would be okay to load psx games through multiman and still be signed in and chat and stuff.

i've done it a few times already and the only times i sign off is early releases and homebrew/showtime.

[BahumatLord]

I'd avoid it. Some people are saying multiman shows up on PSN friend list. I don't know if the people are just using an old version or what but for the time being I'd say not to
