XMB Lock
This is useful for people who share access to their PS3’s. XMB lock gives you the ability to lock the XMB and system settings of the console. Meaning no-one can format, update or otherwise change your PS3 without your knowledge. If you have younger siblings who also use you console then this is for you.
PSN Patch
Currently PSN Patch is at version 4.70.07. Giving users of 4.70 PS3’s full access to all network features such as PSN and the store. The latest version has extra stealth features that are also invaluable if you wish to avoid being banned.
XMB Mod Manager
Latest version is working on CFW 4.70 with no problems. Some of the features now easily available with this PKG include the ability to change the start up graphics and sound as well as modify the background wave however you like.
More homebrew releases coming up.
Hopefully soon we should be launching a complete hombrew archive containing all the classic stuff with many past versions. We a re just waiting for our new hosting to go live before transferring over all the data. Its a little under a terabyte in size and we have had to check out the legalities of hosting such material. If you remember a lot of the early stuff was created using the leaked (stolen in Sony’s eyes) software development kit. A little later of course PSlight emerged and this no longer became a problem. But even so ever release has to be carefully checked for copyrighted material before it can be made available. Once the archive is ready to go public we will post the link here on the blog and also on our twitter. Membership will be open to all PS3 users running custom firmware only at the start while we see how things work out. Stay tuned for more on that.
So what of a jailbreak for 4.70+? Things might seem a little slow on the mainstream PS3 new sites but rest assured there are a
few things bubbling under on IRC which should be seeing alpha or even beta releases soon. Its well known that many of the old names from the PS3 scene have either retired or simply plain disappeared. Although with the talent level of some of the groups currently working on a new exploit it is suspected that some old members may be back under different assumed names. Probably idle gossip but who care if we have this muh talent still working on the good old PS3.
The PS4 scene on the other hand has been very quiet recently with a few false starts a month or so ago but nothing since. Is this because the PS4 is truly a locked down system from the start where the PS3 may still have a few holes left to find. What do you think PS4 un-hackable? Let us know what you think in the comments bellow.
Till next time
