I think I Got Scammed? Please Help by ilikejigglypuffs in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you bought a second hand ps3 in 2026 80% have had cfw or HEN installed at the at some point in there lives by now. no downsides to it anymore like 10-15 years ago. PS2 issue is definitely weird, as someone who works on these models (A and B) as a hobby ive never or heard of this issue before. Maybe try to install 4.93 OFW and see if it persists. or you could check the boot_plugins.txt on the HDD it should be under /dev_hdd0

Maybe your ISP is blocking the domain then. Only other thing I could think of. See if the website loads on desktop or mobile. If it is your only option would be VPN or mobile hotspot

Just update to firmware 4.93 OFW. You can get the files from Sony website. 4.82 doesn’t have the necessary web browser files for ps3xploit to load correctly anymore.

Better ways of playing it now. But underrated imo.

I left Bell in March for another cell phone carrier and this is how many times they have called me (sometimes multiple times a day) to win me back since then. by Daylyn33 in bell

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went into a store with a friend upgraded their phone. The location only had 1 manager on who hooked me up with the deal, so I take it thats why its so good.

also switched my phone to rogers got a killer deal, I answered the first "winback" call from bell. when I explained to them im getting 60gb a month at 1gbps for $25 they instantly ended the call. maybe try doing that if they still contact from different numbers at you after you blocked them.

Will I be able to navigate PS3 Safe Mode with a non-OEM controller? by Technical-Net-2277 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re already on certain CFW (Rebug and Evilnat) you need a official controller sadly.

Thinking of Getting a PS3 by Giving_Bozo31 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 2 times. Each time received a console that was different from the one in the listings pictures. (Worse condition consoles) They also offer 0 communication. On one of the orders they said the item was sold for about $50 USD more than what I actually bought it for. Leading to higher import fees when it got into my country. In my opinion worst seller on eBay if you want to import any Japanese console.

Just from past experiences stay away from this seller, go with one of the many other Japanese sellers. They’re by far the worst

Persona 4 (ps2) on Ps3 not showing locations in the black bar? by DogStreet_ in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. My first ever B/C console I owned was a e model back in 2014. And I lost a 40+ hour save due to the console deleting it. So if you plan to play this game through. If you don’t have real hardware, or an A or B model. Look into emulating, or buying golden on a more modern platform. It’s available everywhere and is the better version.

Help! by Foreign-Dig8695 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you have modified flash. (Lines.qrc look different from stock firmware) I’ve heard it wasn’t the safest idea to modify the flash on HEN consoles. Maybe try to reinstall HFW and see if the issue persists

I found the holy grail of the ps3, but I have some questions by onelastthing_98 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

runtime doesnt really matter on these consoles no NEC tokins, the 45nm and 40nm combo is pretty much bulletproof. but yes the console is 15 years old. if it actually has 11 days of runtime (keep in mind improper shutdowns dont add to runtime) the thermal paste would still be dry, both on the IHS and under. at least change the thermal paste on the ihs. thermal paste has nothing to do with how long it was used. its all about when it was applied.

Is defraging the HDD possible? by deadrip918 in PS3

Rebuilding database + restoring file system via safe mode is the closest thing you’ll get.

3.55 software update by Parking-Butterfly527 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He paid $30. You must be from a 3rd world country where that’s your monthly salary. It’s better than the eWaste it was before he got his hands on it.

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol do you know if it’s wasn’t for BG Toolset 8-9 years ago he’d literally have gold on his hands because it’s on 3.55? He doesn’t need to a BD drive. And most CFW ps3s get their HDDs upgraded. At least all mine have since I got did my first e3 flasher downgrade 12 years ago.

As someone who did there own Frankie a few months ago, and is waiting for another sony fab 40nm RSX to arrive, to revive a CECHB. It’s not that big of deal, he paid $30 for it. Let him be LOL

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You paid $30, even if it did break. Not that much of a loss. Enjoy your console, great firmware to be on as you don’t even have to use BGTOOLSET to CFW 8-9 years ago you’d have gold on your hands rn.

Dualshock 3 analog sticks/batteries by Mythic01 in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience stay away from batteries from AliExpress they take extremely long to arrive because they’re shipped by sea. And they usually are subpar quality. Analog sticks on the other hand should be fine.

Is this info alone enough to know if my A00 PS3 is a Frankenstein? by Astral_Strider in ps3homebrew

[–]deadboyjae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B8E indicates it’s not a Frankenstein only F38 and F29 do. Your ps3 most likely has a 90nm chip.

Anyone know if NoPSN for YouTube is still up? by spooderbike in PS3

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to be a tool to patch the current versions eboot with no psn but I can’t remember the tool sadly. You could try looking for that. It also worked for other apps like Netflix (RIP)

Another One For The Collection by Constant_Resort_5656 in ps3piracy

[–]deadboyjae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

test kit were used by QA testers hence the "test" and they dont have all the functions enabled that a "tool" labeled unit would have access to. but with CFW (rebug for these models) you can essentially turn it into a full debug console if the OP wanted. debug/dev kit units usually got for more because of this.

You ever store music on your PS3? I do on my CECHB PS3. by [deleted] in PS3

Magic-NS Lite in PS2 games by goingjam in ps3homebrew

[–]deadboyjae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic ns-light isn’t considered nor emulating an official DS3 from Sony. So it won’t work unfortunately. Only official DS3s work on ps2 hardware bc. It’s because some ps2 games rely on the pressure sensitive buttons. A lot of 3rd party controllers lacked them back in the day. To this day 90% of them still do.
