I didn't mean to patch VSH (I will admit, that would probably be ideal), I wanted to edit the information that the system uses to determine if there is an update for the game. Speaking of patching, is there already a patch that does this?

How can I completely bypass the prompt from even showing up? Can I achieve this by editing PARAM.SFO, or is game update information stored in the database? I specifically want to keep GTA IV (digital, Europe) on update 1.08, and I don't want to accidentally start an update to then have to...

I believe it's 10 days.

Ah, I figured it out! The issue is that I copied the whole sample config file from ConsoleMods, but the plugin can only load 24 config entries at a given time (seemingly the first 24). After commenting out all lines other than the ones I needed, it worked.

Usually it's due to being behind NAT 3. What was the exact error?

I installed the PS3xPAD plugin and confirmed that it works by plugging in an original wired Xbox 360 controller. However, trying to plug in Saitek Cyborg Rumble Pad (0x0738, 0xcb02) yields "Unknown device was connected via USB" in the XMB. Tried with and without a USB hub. I tried the...

(Still in regards to the exclusive unlocks) Oh and by the way, I recall that the state of at least some of the unlocks/entitlements actually goes into "player data" (the save slot that contains settings and misc. persistent data), and merely making a save after using an unlock doesn't guarantee...

If the PC version is anything to go by, I believe what happens is that each time the game starts, it requests a list of entitlements from SC. After that, this is stored in the save file. Now, I can easily imagine the communication going very differently given that SC is the sole online service...

After the death of GTA: OG, eventually we got a new Online revival mod, RE:V, accessible from both the original hardware as well as emulators like RPCS3. It is based on version 1.27. Their Discord server can be accessed at discord.gg/refive and is (unfortunately) necessary to join in order to...

In the interest of minimising idle uptime of my console, as well as having a better understanding of how it works, I'd like to know what needs to be done to install/uninstall PKGs without use of the PKG installer on the console itself. Ideally, I'd like to be able to connect the hard drive to...

Hmm. While I wouldn't hesitate to go through the quick guide, I chose the decryption helper package just to try this out. Read-only works fine, but I can't mount as RW for some reason; the "PS3 HDD Mounter" script mounts as read-only. Also, while it didn't really change anything, the `crc32`...

Given that I heard that some games (specifically on X360) perform better if the installation is split between the HDD and disc, utilised simultaneously, I wanted to know what would be the optimal way to store games on this system. Would it be: on the internal hard drive (PKG), disc + data on...

70 is after I close a game and it goes idle, although it takes a fair amount of time for it to get to 70 after boot. I also tested GTAV and same thing here, the dynamic fan control helps it maintain <74 at cost of occasionally ramping up the fan speed. I heard that 80~85 and up are when it...

While idling it stagnates at 70, while gaming the fan profile maintains 72 degrees (73 at most). I could make the fan kick in at 65 or so, but then it'd probably get a lot louder. I only had time to test GTA IV so far, but I have more games to try out.

Great, I'm done removing all dust and re-pasting. Result: 70°C - 72°C with "auto at 72°C" and dynamic fan speeds 40% - 90% set in webMAN MOD. Not nearly as low as @Samppa109s' unit, but that should be low enough, right? The fan doesn't have to work nearly as hard, which is a great improvement...
