Man oh man… Still no worthwhile hacks, just more firmware updates. PS3 firmware 1.94 is soon to be released, and according to the countless emails we’ve received, it incorporates the rumble effect for Sony’s upcoming DualShock3 controllers. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is the first title to utilize this [old] feature. Stay tuned for more firmware related details.
The much anticipated PS3 firmware version 2.0 is reportedly slated for release on October 30th. That’s according to the terms of service & user agreement located here on the official PlayStation website.
Thanks for the tip darkjaksrevenge.
You’ve been dying for an update, and here is something definitely worthy of posting…
So, you’re in this situation — still sitting at firmware 1.02 (by the way, this was tested on a Japan console running 1.02) and you have no desire to update; perhaps you lust for that speculated ISO loader, whatever the reason. Notice when attempting to fire up the PS3 web browser you are forced to update before proceeding — not anymore! By using Resident Evil Outbreak 1 or 2 (possibly other networked PS2 titles will work) you should be able to bypass that, here’s how:
Team Wormcult quotes…
When you use the networking feature in RE Outbreak 1&2, it allows you to configure your IP settings in relation to your router. I selected the name of my house network and set the IP address to ‘automatic’. I believe it then lets you run a test connection and you are good to go. Afterwards I went to try and start a RE game online and got a message from the server saying they shut it down a couple of months ago. But at that point you are already successfully using your PS3’s wifi to access an outside server. Afterwards when you go into your web browser after quitting the game, it should work with no upgrade needed. So far this has only been tested on my own system, 1.02 Japan unit
Potentially this may lead to bypassing other related firmware checks. I cannot personally confirm because I’m running the latest update; can anyone else test this method? Leave the results below.
By the way, check out Wormcult on iTunes.
