Amazing work, thank you so very much for the continued support!

Thank you for the tips. When pressing the key combination I can see the the Debug Settings menu. I used multiMan to copy OFW 3.15 PUP to the dev_hdd0/01 folder as you recommended, but when selecting it in the "Update from System Storage" menu, it still fails to update. Here is what I did to...

Thank you Coro, I did what you recommended and managed to get to the recovery menu. When I selected the system update it asked me to insert a USB key with a firmware version 4.89 or higher. I pressed select anyway, and after a while the process stopped saying "The data is corrupted. (8002F2C5)"...

Everyone, I would like to ask for your support to understand what is the best procedure to downgrade a CFW 4.89 machine to OFW 3.15 (last official one to support OtherOS). While I understand that soon we may have the fantastic CFW 4.89.3 which should bring back OtherOS functionality, I don't...

Any idea whatsoever on the timing? Asking for a friend ;-)

Weekly kind request for updates... :-)

Hi everyone, Jollyroger here. I am an old geezer, ex-games developer, worked on a whole bunch of computer systems and games consoles from the late eighties to the mid 2000s... Cheers!

It is really appreciated having an update on the situation, thank you.

I would happily offer my help, if he was willing to allow me, but I suspect I am not the first to have offered...

First post for me here, my goal is to downgrade to an old enough OFW, so that I can install Linux using the original OtherOS mechanism. Reading all the threads I could find, I am left with a single question: it's not clear to me IF the developer of BG toolset will make his excellent project...
