First CFW released for PS3

[Demon Cleaner]

if i go online, you said games will update (both original and "backup").

Both. Install a downloaded game, sign in, and then run the game. If there's an update available, it will automatically download and install it as it would be an original.

I don't know about Sony tracking people down, I really have no idea, I didn't get any information on that because I don't care about. I never play online, I only update my games and download some stuff from the store, as I did also now with the CFW. If they want to ban me, they just should go ahead, don't care much.

There's an application called "wipe histroy", perhaps you wanna try that one out --> WIPE HISTORY

And if you go online to update games only, would it be possible to sony to track you?
I guess the update goes directly to the game server... s sony could not track it...

Honestly, I have not the faintest idea, but I doubt that they would see if you only update your game.

I think it is probably too early to know for sure yet. I wonder how Microsoft manage to detect and track hacked Xbox 360's online and lock them? I will have to do some research.

You can now update your "backup" games without going online...

well, wrong, i think he goes online, he searchs the games on external HD and updates them.

There's some applications existing already for longer time, where you enter the title ID of the game (BLES00123 f.ex.), then it fetches you the update from internet, you download it, put it on your USB device, and run it through your XMB. That's what I did in JB mode.The one I use(d) is called NZHawk's Awesome Update Finder, quite useful program.

A friend send me this:

Essentially Sony can now remotely execute code on the PS3 as soon as you connect. This can do whatever Sony wants it to do such as verifying system files or searching for homebrew. Sony can change the code and add new detection methods without any firmware updates and as the code executes remotely there is no reliable way to forge the replies.

Whilst it is possible to patch or remove this code from the firmware this will likely mean the end of playing CFW online (as PSN can just check before login that this is active) or at the very least mean it will be even easier for Sony to detect and ban users.

Judging from the fact that people can still connect using the proxy method it seems Sony hasn't activated any of this yet but the functions are there in the new firmware.
