PS3 v3.42 games now playable on FW 3.41 [Update]

[sas67]

Looks like Spanish hacker maquina07, has found a way to bypass the recent game firmware requirement. We can now play PS3 games that require FW 3.42 on FW 3.41. Various reports throughout the internet have confirmed it working, and you can view a POC video below:



To play Medal of Honor, you are required to download THIS FILE, created by,maquina07 which contains the required PARAM.SFO. maquina07 was also using OM2 and hermesV4, not sure if it works with other versions/combinations. Details are coming in bits and bobs on how to exactly get this working so I will update the front post when I get more information.

In meantime, give it a shot if you have the new MoH, and let us know what worked for you and how you did it.

UPDATE:
How to, (confirmed working):

The video shows real playing and the XMB with the install packages and the firmware version, just to show that's true.

The method is:

* Have Hermes V4 version
* Edit PARAM.SFO to ask for the 3.41 firmware.
* Copy the eboot from UFC 2010
* Install OManager 2.1, that will patch the game.
* This patch makes tha data game install in the external hd instead of internal.

Load the game and install the 1.01 patch of the game from internet, and then the game will ask you to install the game data, that will be in the external if we've loaded the patch.

i will test this out and report back,hopefully with good news

This will be great if it works out but............ Whats up with this video it doesent prove anything as far as we know he could be playing on a ps3 thats on 3.42 ???? I will give it a try also

i thought the same,but if you keep watching the end of video,he does go back to xmb and i saw install packages,and app/home
so my guessing is its true,but im just preparing for test myself

my test failed.my jb payload is only pl3,but it was worth a shot..
just gotta wait for devs to make newer payload for htc android phones
