PS3 How to get old gameboot + console boot for 4.82?

Transfer the ISO, like you would normally transfer a game via Multiman, mount the ISO in Multiman, this will bring you back to the XMB, you should see the BD-Disc mounted, click on it, and it will open a new Window in the XMB, once that, you will see the Coldboots, scrool down into the Coldboot Section, till you see two Coldboots (Named PS3 Original and Rebug, i think), chose the PS3 original, and it will prompt you to install, select yes, and your all set ;)

But i think i get what you want! You want to get the PlayStation3 GameBoot, like the Original Fat models, before firmware 3.00 (aka Slim and current)

In that case ive made a special package for you, which contains the Original Sony Computer Entertaniment Coldboot and PlayStation3 Gameboot in Spider-Man Font, each time you run a game, with respective Orchestra Tuning and the famous Chime! ;)

How to install it!? Extract the folder in the dev_flash, which its resources and module, copy both to a USB, go to Multiman, enable Dev_Blind Write Access, go to File Explorer via Multiman, seach HDD0 (i think) dev_blind and copy both folders (Resouce and Module) from the USB Drive into the Dev_Blind and overwrite.

Reboot your PS3 and report back ;)

you have the wrong location for gameboots. it should go here: PS3~dev_blind~vsh~module.zip .new coldboots go here: PS3~dev_blind~vsh~resource.zip .

Ive made a pakage for him that contains the Resource and Module folders already with the respective files, mate ;)

Hope he installs it right this time :D
 
he might want to delete the file from the vsh folder. even if the folder doesn't exist, mm will install it to the location specified, so it's easy to screw that up due to a typo or something.
 
the normal way is impossible due to encrypting a sprx. however, I thing I remember about another method through han, but you'd need to enable han each time before the gameboot will appear. the image for the gameboot is still present, only disabled, so you won't have to do anything if you just want the original gameboot.
 
yeah of course, I need game boot and sound for ps3 super slim han

@esc0rtd3w may know what I'm talking about unless I imagined it. a quick search - I couldn't find the post. :( if you get the sprx running, you won't have to do anything more since the default image is still there. gameboot sound, however, will have to be injected to the flash. nothing more will have to be done there since the sound isn't encrypted. ;)
 
Hello. It is safe to use other logo (coldboot.raf) with this mod? I like music and gameboot but I want 'rebug' logo at boot

My console cech 2104 rebug 4.82

the coldboot is what's displayed at start up, so that's what you want. it's perfectly fine to use different coldboots and gameboots. however, this mod has nothing to do with the coldboot. ;)
 
Ok thanks for quick reply. I have PS3 from few days so you know, I don't want brick or something

don't worry. with coldboots, even a corrupted one, the system shouldn't even soft brick. I'm not sure about gameboots, but even if it did, it would only be a soft brick. those can be fixed by reinstalling the firmware in the recovery menu. virtually anything you do with dev blind - that's the worst that could happen. you're not given access to anything dangerous. happy modding. :)

i made it with a similar font, can you use this to create coldboot?

I have two questions on this subject.
1: What happens if I inject the game_ext_plugin.sprx file from Firmware 1.00 to Firmware 4.84.2 HFW?
2: Since it is not possible to inject the classic gameboot audio files in the same way as inject coldboot, would it be possible to use Copier File Offline to do this?
