Download: PS Seismograph PS3 Homebrew Application (PKG) / PS Seismograph PS3 Homebrew Application (GeoHot PS3 CFW)

To quote: Since I'm a physic, I developed a linux tool to do some experiments to reproduce a seismographer. so today I decided to try to write something similar to my university tool.

This is a simple Seismograph for PS3.. it uses all the axis of the first controller.

It uses 1920x1080 resolution, so I don't know if it will ever work on SD TV.

Anyway i hope this can show how people can use PSL1GHT SDK.

(This software was written with NoRSX)

To quote: Hello. It's complicated you change your PS3 saves by lack of knowledge or you have simply no hex editor? The solution is very simple. PARAM Edit is a small program that I just create to modify your saves in several areas:

• Modify the protection of saves (lock / unlock copies)
  
• Make compatibility saves with your account
  
• Modify the saves details
  
• Change the title of the saves
  
• Edit sub-title of the saves
  

Sources are being modified to be especially easy to read and understand each operation.

EXPLANATION:

For compatibility. You need a save to make it compatible with a game and a save from your account...

63w ago - Today PlayStation 3 homebrew developer condorstrike has released Condor Updater v1.0 for PS3, which offers a pseudo-recovery mode system firmware update from the XMB.

Download: Condor Updater v1.0 PS3 Homebrew Application

To quote: This app allows pseudo-recovery mode system firmware update from xmb.

I've tested it with Rogero CFW and Kmeaw, but should work with any Firmware that allows the PKG to install.

No more hold down power crap... lol.

If anyone wants to try on 3.55+ to try and downgrade, my answer is try it... what's there to lose... It should also work on PSP and PS VITA, but I haven't tested.

I think this is a very handy app, and as always, I hope you enjoy my releases...caw!

Steps:

• Install PKG.
  
• Run Condor Updater.
  
• PROFIT!!!
  

Disclaimer: I am not liable if this application disables or damages your console and or handheld, use at your own risk.

Finally, from deank: FWIW, a simple call which you or other devs can use to get to the "recovery/Firmware menu" safely for all firmware versions would be something like:
