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.
cool a new update and intresting but i have 1.93 so now luck for me :( :P
been updatin regular so doesnt apply to meeeee
also think it means no playstation@home soooo udating it is plus most new games wont play unless updated
HEBBY i agree somewhat. I regularly update to, but if you dont update, that doesn’t mean you can’t play new games. theres a way around that using that TIFF exploit i believe thats what it was. It was posted on here a little bit ago. Just thought id let ya know. [:
Not worthy of an update. If an ISO loader comes out it would have to be compatible with the latest firmware….otherwise nobody will be able to use Home when it comes out….home requires the latest update
Rich. If they made a way to bypass the firmware check on just about everything, im sure they can make one for home. and sense home is a game aplication it shouldnt be too hard to bypass
I assume Home is going to be part of the update. As in, only functional/downloadable with an update. So bypassing the firmware is fine but you couldn’t use Home unless you were on Custom FW
chris my man i have seen the TIFF but i reall dont get enough time in the day to load stuff to my ps3 let alone talk on here lol i have my own pc repair buisness and the main goal form my ms3 is to play games mostley at 3 in the morning hahahahaha
when the misus is asleep ;-)
sorry meant to say PS3
ALL I CAN SAY IS BRING ON GTA AND STOP PUTTING THE DATES BACK CMON SONY STOP THIS MESSING ABOUT AND GIVE US WHAT WE REALLY WANT
i’m running FW 1.90 and have no problems with the web browser. it doesn’t ask me to update to 1.93. however i can’t access the playstation store. this isn’t all that useful to FW 1.90 users
try using this method to access the playstation store. I can load up the store page at least. I dont know if you need a PS Network account to do anything there or not yet.
bah, ppl who have v 1.93 or lower, update your really waisting your ps3
The highest is 1.93
Everyone is 1.93 or lower because there isn’t one past that
cool some one please hack ps3. how can i play free flash games on ps3?
Lol
u nees redkawa fileserver on your pc (or something like that) to run swf files…..
than u can access swf-file with your webbrowser (from u pc)…
i have tried to play swf-games without the webbrowser but at the moment its impossible for me
I was able to use the posted method, to enable my browser, and one of the first things I did was go to Newgrounds.com and load up Alien Hominid. The .swf file loads perfectly. However, I have not yet found a way to play the game as none of my Sixaxis buttons or keyboard buttons seem to do anything beyond moving the window around.
i was all in favour of not updating my ps3 and waiting for hacks like i did for psp, but warwahk was tooo great lol - on that note im off for a quick ctf game ;)
Warhawk isn’t worth the upgrades….now SIMS- ARMAGEDDON is going to be awesome. But thats not out till 2012
crap, i have a 1.31 but my ps3 is american and i live in UK.its gon b 4ever b4 i get my hand on 1 of those RE games
PEOPLE!
FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE PROB. WITH THE INTERNET BROWSER JUST DELETE INTERNET COOKIES AND CATCHE AND THERE YOU GO..THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK
retard
we’re talking about bypassing the update.
not problems with the browser!
To the people talking about PSN store.. i have been using the store forever and online games, just use the SimpleDNS method and it works fine.
it is now confirmed that you can use this method to play some PS2 games online. I got errors with the Sims Bustin Out for some reason, but Star Wars Battle Front 2 worked fine.
and….if for some reason your internet starts demanding an update again like it began to on the connection test at one point, just do the Resident Evil thing again and it should be back to normal.
is TW team wormcult? and if so, from readin his posts, why is he pushin for this so much? it’s not all that much of a hack…
those are my initials you jackass. I think it’s a cool hack. I’ve been waiting forever for something like this. If you think it’s not all that then why do you bother hanging out on here anyway? I swear people like you just exist to mess with people and assume shit.
it’s still not that great of a hack.
who gives a fuck what you think ja ja what have you brought for us? nothing? oh well then STFU
i see… so in order for me to comment on anything, i have to come up with a hack (even though i’m not a computer programmer), by, lets say… taking a game from an older system that was released in early 2004 (which i’m sure EVERYONE that owns a ps3 has) and loading it up every single time i want to surf the web on my ps3 instead of my computer (and i do own a 42″ 1080p and web pages still don’t look nearly as good, or have as much functionality) because this allows me to not update my firmware. so if i come up with an AMAZING hack like this, i’m allowed to comment?
you are such an obnoxious bastard. all you bring is hate and negativity to this forum. so you think the hack sucks. big deal. why do you feel so compelled to flame this board with such a rude opinion? are you jealous that someone else is getting a little praise for discovering something? whether you think it sucks or not, it’s up there posted and there is nothing posted in regards to any discovery you have made. people like you just sit around and complain about everything. but you never actually do anything yourselves. and for your information, I tried this out and you only have to use the Resident Evil thing once to set up the IP configuration and then you can use the web browser whenever you want. You dont need to do it over and over. Dumbass.
blah… blah… blah… why do you care so much about this dr. phil? or is it tw? or bajaja?
i am a tool with no life
i care because i’m kinda ugly with a small dick. i just want people to talk to me once in awhile. i know it’s a shitty hack. but at least i got ONE person to respond to anything i wrote here, because no one else responded to any of my comments. so thank you.
everyone here is a fucking retard with no life. this thread confirms it.
and what the hell is ‘ja ja’? is he responding to himself?
YOU ARE ALL LOSERS ! GO AND PLAY WITH YOUR SELFS.
lmao
this is just like the old Wipeout Pure hack for the PSP when you still wanted to use 1.5 but you wanted to browse the internets.
