Why did you sell your TV? You could have easily used it as your computer monitor. It's a little big but I reckon it'll be better than the stuck pixel galaxy Apple 30". :P

BTW, RESIDENT EVIL 6 COMING OUT IN 2 DAYS!!! :)

I never like using a TV as a monitor man. The first reason is obvious the strange resolution 1900 x 1200 HD. The 2nd option is that it is heavy and bulky, third is that pixel is not very clear and some game don't even support the resolution.

It be great if there a way to plug the Apple 30 inch to the PS3, been wanting to do it forever but it seam expensive and complicated. Dell can do it with no problem, kinda made me want to get the Dell one instead.

What about the other monitor you bought? The LG one? That doesn't have HDMI port but I think there's adapters for it.

That one work, but the screen is tiny. It is a 20 Inch LCD. I may hook that up to play PS3, but switching back and fourth is kinda of annoying. I play Mortal Kombat on it and it look great though.

DAMN!!! ABOUT TIME!!!

CFW 4.21!!! :D
http://ps3fixes.funurl.com/rogero.html

Can play all games up to 4.21 without any patches or fixes. Online play and access to PSN store fully enabled. Resident Evil 6 and other games tested and fully working.
You must install their version of Multiman though to use, and all other homebrew applications won't work right now until they are re-signed for this CFW. All games must also be loaded with the BD icon from XMB and not app_home. This means direct booting from Multiman won't work.

Steps:
  • Delete all homebrew applications from your PS3. Make sure any firmware spoof is turned OFF and system information shows 3.55. You must also already be on 3.55 CFW or OFW.
  • Download the PUP and use it to update to the new firmware.
  • Install the Multiman starter pack.
  • Then you can run your games like normal.
WARNINGS:
  • Always make a NOR/Nand dump using Multiman or memdump before installing this CFW to have a recovery backup in case of any bricks.
  • Always use the Recovery Menu while installing this CFW to avoid possible bricks (XMB update works, but Recovery Menu is safer). How to access PS3 Recovery Menu.

Oh man I'm glad I didn't update my PS3 3.55 Firmware. I wonder if it a good time right now to update? It seam confusing and I don't want to brick my PS3 by doing so, they also said some stuff doesn't work and you have to delete all Multi-Man and anything install on your PS3.

Games must be loaded from Disc Icon (with Original game in BD) and not from app_home

Damn what? So must have the Original Game to load the actual game? Cannot load from Multi-Man and External, Internal Hard Drive? Am I reading this wrong or what is the point if I own the original game?

Current 3.55 homebrew application can't be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly.


Hmm..what does this mean, no more Multi-Man? How we gonna suppose to load game from External and Internal Hard Drive now?

Downgrading back to 3.55 is always possible using hardware flashers and will be tested soon using software methods.

Maybe I should wait longer until they get Multi-Man and Software reflash to 3.55 working with Software so can always go back if screwed up or not working?


This really make me want to open an Emulation Website now doing Playstation 3 Games, XBox 360, etc. I already have a website name for it eMubits.com. A perfect name for Emulation site like this.

I'm also thinking about selling the Apple 30 Inch Monitor with millions of Death Pixel and get the Dell 30 Inch so I can use it for my PC and PS3 Console. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-UltraSharp-3007WFP-HC-30-TFT-Widescreen-LCD-30-INCH-Monitor-/281001046119?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item416cf7b067

No, you don't need the original game. You just have to use an original Blu-ray game disc. Load the game in Multiman and then select the disc icon. It's the same as before. You just can't direct boot in Multiman anymore or use app_home to load.

Multiman still works, just use the version they supplied on the website. You can load game from internal or external hard drive. Other homebrew apps don't work right now and needs to be resigned.

Multiman still works like I said. You don't really need any other homebrew app. The possibility to brick is pretty rare though and it seems only people not following directions or using bad PS3 gets bricked. If you do get bricked, you can always unbrick by using E3 flasher. Just make sure you do the NOR/Nand dump in Multiman like it saids so you use that to restore in case it bricks.

Flash back to 3.55 is already possible without having to buy anything. They still haven't given instructions to do it yet, last I checked.

I haven't done mine yet, so I think I'll do both yours and mine at the same time next month. Should wait whether to see if CFW gets better and support for other homebrew apps. I also should buy a flasher just to be safe in case of any bricks.

As for loading the game, just don't load with app_home or direct boot in Multiman. Use the Blu-ray CD icon on XMB menu to load only.

Once they have a stable released and a good working version with Multi-Man I will open a Gaming Emulation site doing Playstation 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, etc. Will have some classic Emulation on there as well such as Super Nintendo, Playstation, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, etc.

What do you think of the name eMubits.com? I have it up before but have no time to update it and I abandon it. Since now my site can't be served Adsense anymore, may as well open another site. Getting bored of making Vietnamese Movies website.

The name is good and easy to remember.

They are working on improving the CFW now. Just hope they get a new version by the beginning of next month, cause I'm going to be needing it by then.

Just so you know, since the new 4.21 keys have been leaked, newest games are coming up with EBOOT fixes that makes them work on current CFW 3.55 now. I expect this to continue for a lot of new games and future games. This is good because you don't need to update to 4.21 CFW to play them, and the 4.21 CFW right now is not very stable, have bugs and can cause random bricking. The Rogero guy even took the link offline because too many people are bricking from it and nobody knows why. He is working on a update on the 4.21 CFW, but he said he doesn't when and no promises. -_-'

Resident Evil 6 EBOOT fix for CFW 3.55
http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=44755


Here is the link to official Rogero 4.21 CFW forums topic to see what the hell is going on:
http://www.tortuga-cove.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=3636

There are cons of not updating to the 4.21 CFW though:

  • If you stay on CFW 3.55 you have to wait until people release EBOOT fixes for each game individually and then have to patch them. With 4.21 CFW you don't need to do any patching/fixing at all and just rip and play the game straight up.
  • You will not able to go online, play online or use Playstation store with CFW 3.55.
Then again, CFW 3.55 right now is very stable and can run all homebrew apps. I think CFW 4.21 needs like another month or so of work to permanently replace 3.55.

Did you download Resident Evil 6 yet? I really want to start playing this game but now I have no TV, damn it. Was thinking of getting a 30 Inch Dell LCD used one on eBay for around $600 bucks since it have all input for TV and even TV Tunor, VCR, everything. Unlike the Apple one which block all HD content.

I have it on Xbox 360 only; don't have reason to get it on PS3. Finished Leon's campaign and the game is very good and has awesome environment and graphics. Going to finish the game sometime next week.

Here is the torrent for the PS3 version if you want to download it:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7680965/Resident.Evil.6.PS3-DUPLEX

Surprised it's only 9GB. Usually PS3 games are oversized as hell and like 20GB each. But I guess it makes sense because the game was created on 360 first and just ported to PS3.

So when are you getting a new monitor? Rogero finished updating his 4.21 CFW and now it's nearly perfect (as most users who have used it have stated). Multiman works fine and so do the majority of new games. A lot of 3.55 homebrew apps have already been ported over to 4.21, but you probably don't even need to use these.

I can install the firmware now if you want. There is no risk involved because you can now downgrade easily back to 3.55 if you don't like it or want to upgrade to a newer CFW in the future.

Also, that Dell monitor has no HDMI input. So how do you plug it into the PS3? Do you have like a DVI to HDMI converter or something? :huh:
