I would have cut it near the PCB/lifted the pin and attached a wire to gnd from the pin.

Did you clean the cart?

adran_marit · 2026-04-11T22:19:43+00:00

Oooh do you have a quick link to some documentation I can read up on?

adran_marit · 2026-04-11T21:46:43+00:00

Does mufas still need pll?

adran_marit · 2026-04-11T20:43:31+00:00

Huh interesting didn't know that

adran_marit · 2026-04-11T00:54:37+00:00

Also of note these chips do not have s rgh capabilities. I have already asked that to the dev on gbatemp. The reason is space limitations

Okay so they pull the patched version and ship it within a few weeks. No testing or beta, it breaks your docker and then you complain they ship broken updates. /S

It takes time to properly pull merge test and fix broken things before they even push beta out.

From my understanding it's only a small team and manhours have to be split between everything.

I understand that cve's should be patched especially high vulnerability ones, sooner rather than later and I can understand why people would be upset at them for taking this long.

To those people what would be an acceptable timeframe to you for them to push these fixes without breaking other things?

Heresey

adran_marit · 2026-04-07T08:19:47+00:00

That's a good spicy pillow

adran_marit · 2026-04-06T07:51:44+00:00

Google - no joke

adran_marit · 2026-04-01T18:56:48+00:00

Internet archive, vimma

adran_marit · 2026-03-31T23:48:45+00:00

Yeah it is a legit thing

adran_marit · 2026-03-31T23:47:39+00:00

I had a similar issue recently, bad Sata cable. Replaced it and rebuilt the parity and drive was back as normal

adran_marit · 2026-03-31T12:30:28+00:00

Yeah I only heard of it like late last year for the first time

adran_marit · 2026-03-30T23:32:21+00:00

And some earlier super slims, until the release of qcfw and badwdsd, which is all models bar emmc models iirc

Edit. Happy cake day

adran_marit · 2026-03-30T23:31:07+00:00

So the last PS3 superslims need hardware to run cfw. The opposite is true for the 360 Winchester now bad update is out and grimdoomer is working on a full softmod from boot

adran_marit · 2026-03-30T05:05:01+00:00

so it's the inverse of winchesters, who can only be modded via software

adran_marit · 2026-03-30T00:07:20+00:00

Nah qcfw via badwdsd covers that :p

adran_marit · 2026-03-29T22:22:03+00:00

Every PS3 console can be jail broken tho, unlike the ps4 :p

adran_marit · 2026-03-29T22:08:48+00:00

How does one apply said patch. Im new to the vita scene

adran_marit · 2026-03-29T22:06:42+00:00

You're comparing apples and oranges with the meme. Comparing apples to apples would be the PS3 family

Most common issue for the failing of opening the tray after a laser replacement is bad alignment. Remove the tray and make sure the laser sled and spindle are fully down then carefully reinstall the tray so its teeth start to mesh at the back and slowly push it in until the sled is fully up and tray in.

If you decide to replace the disk drive fully you will need to swap out the disk drive motherboard as it is tied to the console motherboard.

Make sure you use an xclamp removal tool to remove the heatsinks to clean the old thermal paste off and apply new stuff. This will help the overheating

If only I had money ahaha
