Some people have managed to install the kiosk firmware "SEX" 4.81 over their OFW 4.81 which allows injection again.
You can also go back to OFW after injection so it seems to be safe.

Tried on both 4.78 SEX and 4.81 SEX, no luck on either. Doesn't seem to make a difference, unless I am doing the injection incorrectly. I also tried a rip of Minecraft from the Russian forum which was already setup - same issue on both 4.78 SEX and 4.81 SEX.

Ah sorry, just read about it, I didn't try it myself and believed the first few people's reports there that assured that it worked.

Judging by the reports, compatability seems to be pretty good.
From the (ex-/semi-/non-)exclusives that I looked up only Little Big Planet 1(Faulty install data error), Beyond Two Souls(blackscreen), South Park Stick of Truth(blackscreen), GTA4(Freeze on start), God of War Collection Vol. 1(blackscreen) and Mirror's Edge(Freeze on start) don't seem to work.

No you don't need a CFW PS3 but you do need at least a PS3 on OFW 4.70 or lower. If you can find a PS3 on OFW 4.70 you can put the games on it and Data Transfer (DTU) them to your 4.81 PS3.

Otherwise if all you have is OFW 4.81 then no this will not work for you.

So can I use this method with only a <4.81 OFW PS3?

I found this tool today.
Does anyone know about it?
Is it useful for them who have only OFW 4.8X?:rolleyes:
it useful for any version as long as the game update is not higher than your ps3. I tried the 1.1 version, which unfortunately has a bug and nice to see it got fixed on the 1.2 version

I've tested it on my 4.50 ODE ps3 and some game that has a lower game update works, before I attempt to transfer it to a 4.81 ps3

This tool rocks! :)

Noob question.. What if the game doesn't have an update? e.g. Tales of Xillia. How are we supposed to make a game backup using this tool?

Cheers!

This exploit is worthless. Even if you get it to work, it's only compatible with 2 or 3 games like Crysis 2. Just buy yourself a $80 CFW PS3 from ebay and save yourself the headache

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
