    Default ps3 mods?

    Hi guys,

    I've been out of the game for years and today while cleaning up stumbled across my ps3 (slim) which got me thinking - are there any mod chips (usbs) for it?

    allowing multi region and backed up like the pd2 days?

    I've seen a few advertised but wonder if they are hoaxes

    CFW(Custom firmware) is the go, provided your slim is back-ward compatible(all FAT's & 2K Slim are ok), some 2K5 can be done, anything after that is no go & you have to go with a physical modchip like Cobra/3k3y. All these mods allow to play from USB, with CFW also allowing you to play from int hdd. PSx/ps2 via burnt discs can also be achieved with CFW.

    If your keen on a physical modchip they are meant to be self-instal (but will require a lot of reading) & you would be required to have some technical skill, otherwise PM me & I can quote you on doing it, or others in the forum that may be closer to you.

    Thanks for the post Ljay, i havent touched my old school Fat PS3 ever.
    But being able to connect NTFS usb drives and play backups is appealing, the NTFS alone just for Movies is great.

    What CFW do you use?
    I did a heap of reading last night, seems there are 2 or 3 popular ones out there.

    Thanks
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    Rogero CFW used to be the bench mark, but he no longer in the scene? or not enough time......HABIB & Darknet are the more common ones I use but I reckon they are all similar.

    Ljay what do you charge to have a ps3 softmodded? I couldn't pm you as your storage space is full.
    I have a ps3 slim 4.66ofw. I used to have 3.55rogerio cfw but went back to ofw to play online, coming back to the ps3 I have noticed that my e3 card reader doesn't not work and a e3 flasher kit is needed these days. I have stopped playing the ps3 online and want to play my backup games using multiman or something similar again.
