CFW to Fix CMOS Problem

[laukinming]

Which version of CFW is needed to jailbreak a PS3 phat system and, at the same time, correct the CMOS failure problem?

What do You mean by "correcting CMOS failure problem"?

Change the battery.

I meant that I heard that when the CMOS in the PS3 expires, the console cannot play games and is bricked.

Is that true?

If so, do I have to change the battery like you suggested it, or can I go on playing?

I know the CMOS battery on my PS2 is not working, yet it's still working unlike systems like the PS4, which, until firmware 9.00, had a major CMOS brick problem. Is the PS3 like the PS4 when it comes to the CMOS battery problem?

I don't know. For sure PlayStation Plus "free games" will be broken but probably all content which using licensing cannot be use until proper time is set (from CMOS to keep RTC or from internet until internet is connected).

Well, I guess the PS4 or the Wii/-U are better console choices.

Thank you for your help, and I will give the PS3 a miss.
