PS3 BGToolset Status???

1. What Coldheart said
2. Getting a 25xx would be tricky cause you can't know if it's compatible just by looking at it and usually the sellers won't bother messing with minverchk for you. The best thing you can do is to get a 20xx or 21xx and just upgrade the hard drive. The PS3 supports drives up to 1TB in size.

I don't have much money to upgrade it and I don't think that the seller won't let me test it to do the check as part of testing.

Then unfortunately I have no further suggestions.
You have exactly three choices -
1. Have the seller verify the minimum firmware version with minverchk.
2. Buy a 20xx or 21xx and expand the drive.
3. Buy a 25xx and hope that you end up with a unit that supports CFW, and settle for HEN if it doesn't.

P.S.
If you buy a used console still with its original HDD it means that it's already at least 10 years old. I wouldn't count on it not failing soon anyway.

CFWs should let you install a new CFW without having to flash first, so long as you don't install OFW/HFW meanwhile, because this unpatches the patched flash memory. So you should be able to put Rebug on it (4.84?) or Evilnat as long as they are 4.82 or above, which I believe they are, through the usual recovery mode with USB.
 
Can anyone help recreate **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)? I can get the domain and hosting taken care of but I'm not sure how the site functions internally. It seems like it has been down for some time and it would be nice to make something temporary while we wait for the original to be finished, if it's even being worked on still.
 
Hello everyone, how are you? Does anyone know what's going on with bgtoolset? When entering the site it cannot load until you see a notification where host error 522 from the server appears. Thank you all

The joys of shared hosting...
I was told that for a few hours in the past 24h, some other site had issues that caused the flooding of a SQL DB bringing a shared server slowly but surely to its knees.
I wasn't able to check but I would assume that ps3xploit.me was impacted all the same.
It should be fixed now in theory though.

Well I needed to prepare the server for the file manager tool deployment so I am taking this opportunity to do it now you should expect more issues like this today, better wait til 2moro before using the Toolset, ps3xploit.me shouldn't be impacted (in theory but in practice it might be).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

2mn for a file copy from /dev_hdd0 to /dev_hdd0 (standard 7200rpm HDD), for a little over 1.6Gb of data.
Not too bad, I expected more overheads actually. [emoji6]

Very nice!!! It's great to have new options for file management on PS3, specially on OFW.

It would be helpful if you could add the option for "copy" using symlinks. It would take only a couple of seconds to copy large files from dev_hdd0 to dev_hdd0. The only drawback using symlinks is that the original file is also modified when you make changes to the copy.

I will add the option with a warning to users.

If I understand correctly there are 2 types of links on PS3 like on BSD, hard links and symlinks, which ones were you talking about? I don't recall seeing any documentation about them in sdk, I would assume they work like in BSD, using the same arguments as cellFsRename would?

cellFsLink 0x3AAA1BD0
cellFsSymbolicLink 0x8DCFF2CD

I mean syscall 810 (sys_fs_link). It only works from dev_hdd0 to dev_hdd0.
Code: 
static int sysLv2FsLink(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath)
{
  system_call_2(810, (u64)(u32)oldpath, (u64)(u32)newpath);
  return_to_user_prog(int);
}

For some reason I haven't been able to make work syscall 833 (sys_fs_symbolic_link). Both syscalls use similar parameters.

int sys_fs_link(const char* path_from, const char* path_to)
int sys_fs_symbolic_link(const char* target_path, const char* link_path)

where is dl link for toolset?

It's an online tool. You need to browse to ps3toolset.com using the PS3's built in browser.
If you need a self hosted tool you'll need to wait until Flash Writer is ported to 4.91 - but even that is dependent on a working network connection.
