Roll back software to pre-3.56 i believe.

Oh wait it's too new

that shit only works on the original fat ps3s with old firmware that hasn't been updated

You can't.

i also have an old aopen nagas g6 case laying in basement. this is getting insteresting now

nooooooooooo

i got so exiceted at first, can't i roll back this firmware shit?

You can't downgrade a PS3 below the firmware it originally shipped with.

If it is a super slim then there is no way.

Buy a computer or a laptop

I already own 2, just hate to see how ps3 resting in dust...

Shouldn't have bought a superslim then

Too new. You would need the fat 2006 model of PS3 to do that.

IBM broke petraflops with it

>i got latest superslim
You can't

I've seen services offered where people force downgrade them through clips or soldered connections.

Can these work on the super slim models?

Slims up until mid 2011 work fine as well

No

There's a rumor that Sony going to release a firmware that re allow third party OS near the ps3 EoL date. Dunno whether they'll be useful for anything, since cell performance for watt in floating point ops are already massively overtaken by modern gpus.

HOly shit when's the end of life date?

1. Remove all guts and put rPi3 inside.
2. Install Linux

Dunno, but pretty soon i guess. They might gonna do it for inventory cleaning

PS3 died 2 days ago
yeahhhh ... sureeee...

forget the link: archive.fo/XcGi8

Well, if they did release it, just remember that you heard it here first.

there are more chances like a hacker to release a new exploit which works on superslims and latest firmware than sony to release something

It doesn't matter, 256 MB of Ram isn't enough for use as a personal PC anyway. Plus no access to the GPU.

Thank you kindly user will keep my eyes out for it.

Hopefully fun old tech won't be forgotten.

Depending on the model, It is possible.
Sony has stopped updating and a couple people created a spoofed update that works on 4.81 which will downgrade. Then go grab rebug and petiteboot and red ribbon linux and your good to go.

I don't know if it will work on superslim.

No it doesn't. I have it running on my ps3 slim.

>PS3 died 2 days ago

No it didn't.

You're better off buying an orange pi hd pc

>Hear about Linux on PS3
>Wets himself over it
>Doesn't look into it, no research at all
>Thinking it can be done on all PS3s
>Picks up superslim because there are a crap load of them for sell
>No clue on how to do it
>Asks Sup Forums on how to do it

we actually do have access to the gpu now

hes truly cancer

You are the cancer.

Your impatience towards anons enthusiasm does a disservice to the hacker spirit.

Is the ps3 still not cracked wide open without hardware mods past that magical firmware whatever it is?

yes you can, you can buy a flasher and flash the chip yourself though its not really worth the money and problems

>superslim
>ssd
This has to be bait. No one is this stupid. Sticking an SSDin there is like connecting to USB via Serial. It ain't go any faster.

>tfw bought PS3 Phat with backwards compatibility and fully hacked for $25 on eBay because the dude didn;t have an HDD installed
be jelly

Seek times will at least be better.

>computer
>or a laptop

Even with SATA1 speeds SSD will be noticeably faster than a HDD. OP is dumb but so are you
