PS3 Firmware 2.40 (Test/Debug) — in-game XMB Preview

Posted by greg on June 8, 2008

Ooo…

…now that’s pretty damn convincing. It’s a safe bet we’ll be updating to 2.40 real soon.

Thanks MaX SLayeR.

XMB inside of the PS3 games, not bad at all. After this is released, there are very few things to actualy make it better. The only suggestion I can come up with, is making ALL mp4’s compabile to watch. There are many video clips I have converted that work with the PSP that do not work with PS3. Has anybody turned their ps3’s into a windows type machine running on the core architecture… that baby would scream if some extra ram was added.

seeing as there is a working closed beta, i would say they plan to release it. do some research, you’ll find they plan to (from memory) release it officially towards the end of the year, but an open beta will be coming in a few months time.

What do you mean turn it into a windows machine on the core architecture? Isn’t the only installable operating system linux distros?

Comment by douche
2008-06-12 18:16:13

no theres a few more that can be installed on the ps3. i think theres six of them. wiki it!

Hi i may sound thick or missing something but im sure he was loading image files of a SD card this possible? Im sure thats a hack for sure. Im also so glad about the in game XMB access brilliant.

Comment by StapleMeEmo
2008-06-10 17:09:10

It’s a test/debug PS3. You don’t have to have the official stamped game. You use that SD card to get the game to boot. It’s like a key to the Debug because it is designed to be used before the games are released (before they are final and begin being produced)

The video is pretty full of cuts, but they may be just regular editing.
Anyways, let’s wait and see.

i know it’s still possible that it’s fake, but when i saw the game in the background of the xmb, it seemed a lot more believable to me (i had to look close because it is pretty dark)

Comment by dumbass
2008-06-08 20:52:06

taken from the comments on youtube for that video:

“XMB in game and ISO launch.”

so does this mean there is a working iso loader or something of the sort? has it been hacked or is the iso launch a load of bullshit? or is it there just to get hits or what? what is the purpose of it being there?

That was a demo.
It said at the gray background homebriew thing.

That thing is pretty belivable cuz it has the flickering of a normal television.

2008-06-08 22:55:07

why, oh why do people use some random ass crappy song on these videos? you know, its ok to not use any music at all. we just want to see the content of the video. Some shitty music sometimes makes us NOT want to watch the video!

And why was half the video of the guy messing around in ridge racer?!?!

Comment by AntiHax
2008-06-09 03:24:38

it’s a good song, but that’s a matter of opinion. now i want you to to the top of the page and look at the embedded youtube. you see in the bottom right, the little speaker button? click that and you don’t have to listen to “some random ass crappy song”

Comment by ryo
2008-06-10 00:25:40

i’m just wondering for a video like this, why put a song, any song, in the first place? theres nothing wrong with hearing the ‘click-click’ of browsing through the XMB, or the game noise when ridge race was played. of course, theres always the possibility of the original video not having any audio in the first place.

and yes, i turned my speakers all the way down as I watched.

K, so ive just been wondering……..besides being able to read your messages in the middle of the game without having to exit…………Whats the big fuckin deal about having in game XMB >>>??????????

and dont say “for custom music” because the game makers can easily have a game link to your PS3’s music dir.

Comment by Kryptonight83
2008-06-09 01:35:17

Well, some games like Burnout Paradise can have the most horrible soundtrack ever, which would want to make you be able to listen to your music instead. Either way you can just plug in your headphones and listen to music that way… but thats like saying you can have a camera and a phone or you can have a camera phone. The more things you can have or do with fewer attempts of gaining them is what everyone is always looking for.

 
 
Comment by Kryptonight83
2008-06-09 01:31:09

This video didn’t prove crap. How can you prove in-game XMB when u have a 5 minute song playing during the whole thing? I wanted to see the ability to access/change the music you listen to while playing a game, not some random wrong way driving on a crappy game…

Comment by AntiHax
2008-06-09 03:28:18

well it was a debug machine anyway, so it’s definately not conclusive proof. Even if he had music(from the ps3), it could be easily faked quite easily. i think that all these rumors are stacking up to make a conclusive story, so i’m looking forward to the (rumored) June 18th release date

Comment by StapleMeEmo
2008-06-09 16:11:03

Because there isn’t enough power to “simulate” [emulate] the xbox360. The PS3 can’rt run PS3 and xbox 360 at the same time and that’s pretty much what you’re asking it to do when you emulate.

ok i cant exactly come out and tell u that the videos are true but as a fellow Conrad in this world of hacking and do to the fact that I have connections at a local gamestop I had a chance to talk with a playstation rep as he updated the stores ps3 and he infact did say that the update was going to be this months and that it did bring the long waited for in (game xmb) he dident say what day exactly but he did say it was this month!!!

Comment by AntiHax
2008-06-11 23:04:10

wow, your’ connections and your “Conrad”s really helped. everyone already knew that it was coming this month. Some sony staff have apparently been wearing T-shirts alluding to the ingame XMB, so we all know that it’s coming soon.

It’s not a loader. It’s on a debug unit. That’s just how they always work. This video is for in game XMB.

 
 
 
Comment by gameguy18
2008-06-09 18:16:29

this is just a debug FW. This is what is sent to devs just before the release of retail 2.40 update. most of the options he has got in the video wont be in the retail version of the fw.

Comment by Viper
2008-06-10 00:37:04

So this is a retail firmware in the making that is being made with homebrew tools like the “Eboot.bin dumper” with a icon of PS3NEWS? Now understanding of programing is not strong but, I don’t think that they would use something like that when they have the PS3 SDK.

Comment by elecman_x
2008-06-12 00:38:13

I hope for that too, but I don’t expect it to because it would have to search through your save data to figure out what you have done, and the system probably doesnt work that way.
