Downgrade PS3 4.55?

Post by Tyzy Ghost »

Automatically translated from French.

Hey there, it's been a while since I've been here; and I've got a question o/

I'm planning to buy a PS3 in the future, the problem being that, from what I understand, there are only 4.55 versions left on the market and so uh... hacking the console doesn't work I think.

I don't know anything about the PS3 at all, I've pretty much never had one and haven't used one much either. I would have liked to know if there's a way to Downgrade the PS3 enough to make the hack possible, and all that without buying chips or stuff like that (I understood that you could flash the console somewhat the same way as the Wii...well, only touching the software and not the hardware I mean).

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light for me :C

hi,

without a chip, it's dead, there's nothing for ps3.

With a chip, depending on whether you buy a new (recent) console or an older model (used...or not), several solutions are open to you.

- The downgrade, which lets you do pretty much everything except live (not very safe).

- the ODE, which lets you play games with certain dlc (including live) and certain psn games. The stubborn dlc and psn games should work soon, according to the ODE manufacturers

Hmm, I'm not really interested in Online (not at all actually) so it would mainly be just to play games. What's the cheapest solution to get that result? (more or less the same as the Wii: select a game you want to play and play it; backup or original.) And above all, counting the purchase of the PS3 (150€ I think?) plus the chip, how much would it cost me in total?

I understood that the pros supply the matching chip but I'm not entirely sure about that.

Nothing is simple on ps3. You should find a technician to discuss it with. But not in a store. And there aren't any here
