WIP: PlayStation 3 firmware downgrader, Infectus needed

QJ.net writes:

PlayStation 3 owners, heads up! We've just gotten word about a work-in-progress project that will, in theory, downgrade your Sony PS3's firmware. You'll be needing a PS3 that sports an Infectus modchip to make the downgrader work though.

Why would you want to downgrade the PS3 firmware??

CRIMS0N_W0LF5882d ago

rev205882d ago

TrevorPhillips5882d ago

ill give you an example if someone has the latest version like 2.17 which is the latest version and they cant play ps2 games on it they just downgrade so they can play ps2 games u get it now :)

sunnygrg5882d ago

Sony hasnt done that quite yet.

EZCheez5882d ago

Has ever limited the games you could play.

This sounds kind of useless.

gta_cb5882d ago

this is to try and get homebrew running on it just like on the PSP.

undacovabrothe5882d ago

There hacks made by us to do it for us. Like with the psp. If this is true smart decision in holding it to themselves until a ready exploit comes out so Sony doesn't catch wind of this and beef up their security before we can actually do anything with it.

Sir Ken Kutaragi 35882d ago

We could Downgrade it by 2years and rename it xBox 360!!! ;-D

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7211h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast13h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood13h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK10h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake8h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
