Why not sell 1-2 dongles and buy a camera that actually works?

Hmm ?
I don't think so, since there's no more recovery menu. You need a flasher to downgrade from 3.70.

Hope this will be true & that the team start selling this dongle

thanks for the news

just a guess...but his system was on 3.70 so maybe something on the dongle restarts the recovery menu...maybe it isnt gone just turned off??

But why it only work for those games? What's in common with those specific games that other 3.6+ are not supported yet.

No. I am pretty sure that the first firmware shown in the first video is only a 3.55 CFW with a 3.70 spoof. Otherwise the PS3 wouldnt ask for a update file of 3.55 or above when he is in the recovery menu.
A downgrade won't be possible with this dongle. This doesn't mean it is fake or the video creator wanted to fool us. It is just as amazing that the dongle in combination with the "3.55 Dongle"-firmware is able to make the 3.6+ games being played.
It is the question if the dongle makes its way to capable developers who can reverse the dongle's payload. Another question would be if there are developers left who want to do this...

UPDATED MISSING VIDEO: Link No need to download it anymore.

**Snaydher** · 10-20-2011,07:55 AM

Second vídeo, seems real to me. Looks when he push PS Button to close the game, the new icon still there, so he is in CFW

well lucky for me i will be in indo on tuesday so i will try my hardest to get my hands on one and have a look

dont want to put my oar in like but has any one noticed that it's 2 completely different consoles that are used. so the down grade etc in vid 1 is nothing to do with vid 2. so could be on complete different systems.

i know pes 12 needs new firmware and it says 3.55 so something has been altered and its good news for the ones of you that like to try before you buy shall we say but i wouldn't get too excited just yet imho. plus give it a day or 2 and sony will have stopped your fun lol
