Courtesy of ST0RM53, linked above: Hey.. long time to write :p

With the hot news I saw I had to do something! Swap Magic on PS3 running? I thought it was patched, and indeed so, but only on US/Jap consoles.. I tried several swap magic (SM from now), but none worked... and this is becaused it IS patched, on fw 2.10 and up.

So I thought... if they patched a specific title, they seem they haven't patched others... so I found that I can create a bootable PS2 disc and I made one. I added many useful PS2 ELFs (not all useful for now..) but we have what we need. Ok, first the proof and then tutorial:




This method using an original SM disk has been already posted.. but never actully confirmed how or when SM works.. The method with an ORIGINAL SM DISC works only on EUROPEAN PS3s any FW, except 40gb p... More »

Seems to be looking good. On the game front there's first word on Forza Motorsport 3 (as if it wasn't coming), which according to Intellisponse will include over 100 tracks and 400 cars on a two-disc set. Let's hope they sort out the walkover AI this time.
