48w ago - This weekend the Spanish PlayStation 3 developers at DemonHades have announced that JBM 3.55 PS3 CFW is now in development, which will offer the best of JFW DH 3.56 MA in a new Custom Firmware.

To quote, roughly translated: Making decisions for the future of JFW-DH

Hello friends first of all like demons to thank you for trusting in JFW356MA as custom of your PS3, as you well know the PS3 scene is going through difficult times because of the dominance of DRM dongles, these dongles are set to 355, for structure and kernel.

As you know many of you in MA you have had problems when running certain applications mainly due to this reason which we have all we can to resolve, but we are aware that this balance in trying to adapt all our MA giving us more work to realization of new and abundant applications for JFW.

We have been thinking about these obstacles in which we double slaughter, we play in making new things and other things that appear in portage other devs submitting to more pressure and therefore more cramped.

As happened a few days with the PSN and spoof, had it not been for that we have been watching Black ubiesemos us as if other custom could, and I as a responsible community dh I can not want it to happen.

Yesterday was published the USERCHEAT,...

49w ago - This weekend the E3 Team have announced a new PS3 JailBreak alongside news of another PlayStation 3 DRM-infected USB dongle currently in development.

Below are the details, as follows: Official Statement from E3 Team Regarding a New PS3 Jailbreak

Few days ago, there was news posted on various Web sites that we had cloned JB2 (aka) True Blue (TB) successfully.

We clarify we did not clone any other product, but we did find the ways on how to allow the newer games to work on CFW v3.55.

Our research has found 3 different ways to allow newer games to work on older firmwares!

A way:

• No need of any new keys, but allows SOME new games to work on CFW v3.55 with a special bypass.
  
• We think the USB device on market uses this system. (Maybe)
  
• With this method, most games even v4.11 games can run on CFW v3.55 very easily.
  
• But there has some games that can't work with this A way.
  

E3 Team knows this A way...
