I really like the PS Samurai Upgrader software. It looks to be very user-friendly compared to Atmel Flip, which is basically overkill for devices like this. And I always seem to have problems with the drivers on Windows 7 64 bit and flashing my Blackcat. As long as this device is under $40 I'm going to buy one, just to make my life easier.

You expect Ninjas to play along nicely with Pirates?

I'd say 90% of people with on 3.41 that want a dongle have already got one. These things are going to cost $5 once they realize the market for it has effectively disappeared with the exploit being blocked.

anyway the 20 oct, the official psjailbreak team will release there backupmanager and there exploit for 3.50 with many news like NTFS support, undetectable online play, etc... and all clones and dev boards will not work... Teams will need to make others clones.....

remember the clones come from a "beta dongle" and the official psjailbreak are now in stock (only the officials distributors have those with a NME chip inside)
