Why do you think it's all a matter of speculation?

Do you have any facts? Provide the facts and not speculative info. or theories (speaking to anyone).. (i believe some things to be correct and factual but i also understand it's based on theory and not 100% fact)

That is why i say anything with bans is speculation.. We have good idea's, but at the same time nothing is 100% as we simply do not know what Sony is doing or when they change their methods as well. SO MUCH FALSE info is spread about bans.
 
Sony could change at any moment controls the fw if only they wanted to. But I think now is focusing on anything (PS4). E 'useless to develop new protections anti-ban on a project that between 1/2 years is expected to close.

I disagree with that assessment, again that is more less speculative info and if history is a gauge which it usually is. Until the PS4 console sales over take or come close to the PS3. The PS3 will be a viable options for Sony to make money. Just like the PS2. So 1/2 year LOL no..

Do you honestly think Sony around the Holiday season (where they make the most money) will stop support or not promote the system that has the potential for the most sales, i say most sales because there would still be more PS3 consoles then PS4 and GAMES SALES is the money maker.. (that would be your 1/2 a year assessment) .. Now the year after will they push the ps4 more. Yes i think they will but not this holiday season yet (they will push both), ... "PlayStation" brand is really the only thinning making Sony money at this point. The PS3 being a bit part of that. They will not kill it (especially with the PS vita being such a disappointment) , but they will allow the market to decide. This next holiday season will be the gauge of that.

Have to think of it in a business way and also looking at history.


EDIT:
PS2 Last Game:

PES 2014
Playing the last PlayStation 2 game ever made | GamesBeat | Games | by Dan Crawley
The Last PS2 Game to Launch for the System Might not be FIFA 14 as PES 2014 is Confirmed for PS2 & PSP - PlayStation LifeStyle

Maybe look to the PS5 release date when we start putting in the final nails of the coffen on the PS3... Way to early for all that right now

if you write a proper release notes, i will add your MFW to the list here. (with a warning) .. I could be very well wrong and maybe there is no additional risk to be worried about. I just like to stick to the side of caution when it comes to a firmware. but will add it and let user's make the choice. but it needs a proper release notes for that ...

Ok, I will write up a proper release tonight.

I normally only release my MFWs in my MFW Builder guide. (which I will post here also, if ok). Because I want users to research first. I do know a lot more about building a CFW, than you give me credit. I am not dependent on using PS3 MFW Builder. But you are correct, I am not a developer. Although I am eagerly learning more everyday. Not just with PS3.

I like to share my experiences with others. Lots of my friends have used past and present versions of Playerkp420 4.xx. They call me as soon as their PS3 tells them it needs an update. Because they know I am obsessed with everything from hardware to software in the PS3.

I know I should of left a better warning when I posted the .PUP. That was my bad. But I never claimed it was 100% non-ban risk. Because as we all know, there is no 100% on CFW.

If i understand, you want to post your guide here? If yes then is more than OK :) Is nice piece of knowledge for "advanced noob" about mfw builder.

The only ban method known that was verifyed is the searches made from the eboot.bin of some call of duty games i was talking here ---> http://www.psx-place.com/forum/ps3-news/4-75-ferrox-dual-boot-db-firmware-2053-3.html#post15294

Im not a cod fan and not very used to what they are doing in detail (but maybe there is someone here that could explain it better)
The first time it was found in a cod game, more than a year ago, if you decrypt the eboot you can see a list with the TITLE_ID of some homebrews (i remember some of the choosen ones was multiman and showtime, probably because are 2 of the most used homebrews)
To play safe with these games you need to decrypt the eboot, delete these strings, then encrypt again... this is what cod players calls a "cod stealth eboot"

But i agree 100% with you, we dont know wich methods are used to trigger bans, and this one im talking about is made at the call of duty servers (not sony servers)
Sony uses his own methods, that probably are much better and uses firmware functions (not a crappy scan like cod eboot easy to bypass) but we dont know them at all

Even the "custom syscalls removing" method we are using is speculative, we are not sure if sony is really searching for custom syscalls
The whole scene has assumed sony could be using the custom syscalls to trigger bans... because it looks like the best way to identify a cfw, but they are really using it ?... we dont know because nobody found if the firmware is doing some kind of scan for the syscalls availables, is not explained anywhere, so is pure speculation

CFW syscalls disabling i think helps, but yes that is speculative as well. but i say it can only help, I doubt it hurts.

Modded Eboots and fixed eboots is a huge trigger and i have always said that.. What you hear about bans is usually more false info then true info

1.) They cheated online and did not want to say they did.
2.) They used cracks
3.) They have modded eboots for whatever reason.
4.) Someone else used the console without them knowing.
5.) buying a CID expecting it not to get banned. (Ugghh people are shady when they sell these things people, very very very very few do them honestly)
6.) They do dumb things when connected. (i.e launch homebrew)
7.) ConsoleID was stolen (by various means)
8.) lack of common sense

There is so many variables and not enough honesty and that is the problem when trying to figure out any consistency in the bans.. Because there is always that curveball. SO MUCH FALSE INFORMATION.. The spoofing of apps. That is 100% pointless in my book. if the eboot does not match the title ID (IMO then that is a problem and a flag is raised). Then spoofing the TitleID because people thing sony is scanning the official games folder (dev_hdd0/games/) that is not happening IMO as if it was i would of been banned long time ago. You know how much i was testing and doing things with RetroXMB before it's release. I had 350-400 custom directories. If that is not going to get flagged i think it safe to say (at least IMO) that is not a worry.

I just have been able to debunk alot of theories and claims that have been made. I think rule number #1 & #2 is respect the network and keep it official as far as your games go..

Edit:

Yea the first person shooters on their own servers seems to look at more things, then Sony themselves. Which is somewhat odd. but fro the game developer i can see why as they want to make sure their online community is fair..
 
whats the latest on habib 4.75 cfw???
is it going to happen do we think??? :)



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


also is it really a bad idea to play call of dutys online??? ive been online with cfw for about a year and ive only ever played cod games and all seems fine.
i dont use game modding or cheats or anything i just play by the rules :)

What do you reckon removing eboot strings as [MENTION=872]sandungas[/MENTION] mentioned for "stealth" eboots will give a high risk of flagging too or just cheat mods?

why the **** doesn't anyone post jailbreaks for ps3 CECH3002b I just want to jailbreak my ps3 :( pls i beg,
Click to expand...


maybe because you cant jailbreak/flash your CECH3002b unless im mistaken. most CECH250X and lower models are fine,
I have a CECH2503B but not all CECH2503B are able to be jailbroken so I would think that your model is too new..

kinda proves my point that the ps3 scene is largely kids. I've personally had way more fun with the wii-u rather than the crapbox or pos 3 despite knowing everything about them. maybe u should hack it urself rather than feeling entitled to others' work.
 
... Because there is no way to break security introduced in late 250x and later models. Is really complicated, if you want to learn more, read about metldr 2, ECDSA, NPDRM and all that things.
