Spanish PlayStation 3 developers at DemonHades have released Service Pack 1.3 for PS3 JFW-DH 3.56 MA CFW, Tools for MAD by Chekco, a ConfEditor by Vakaloka, a tutorial by siema44 and a PSX and Dynarec ISO demo video below!

To quote, roughly translated: New PS3 JFW-DH 3.56 MA CFW Service Pack 1.3

System Administrator unlocked for use with 50 functions including only HV can run in service mode (*).
Total compatibility with games, games that gave failures now work OK.
Support Ministry of PSP, and PSN games now run and debugged all.
Compatibility with PS2 corrected.


What's New TheGrid

TheGrid patching the boot
Region Free BD
Patched new checks
Payloads support
Linux
Dynarec load support in the LV2 (emulators support more advanced 3d)
Dynamic patch is not required to install or replace, and nothing more.


New options to start with EGEA detecting flags to perform new tasks:

dumpflash - Dumpea the dev_flash to USB (Dev_usb000)
dumpflash2 - Dumpea the dev_flash2 to USB (Dev_usb000)
dumpflash3 - Dumpea the dev_flash3 to USB (Dev_usb000)
Dumpea dumpflash4 dev_flash4 to the USB (Dev_usb000)
restoreflash - Restores and record a dev_flash from USB (/ dev_usb000/dev_flash.bin)
restoreflash2 - Restores and record a dev_flash from USB (/ dev_usb000/dev_flash2.bin)
restoreflash3 - Restores and record a dev_flash from USB (/ dev_usb000/dev_flash3.bin)
restoreflash4 - Restores and record a dev_flash from USB (/ dev_usb000/dev_flash4.bin)
dumper.nor - Create a memory dump of the console NOR FLASH
dumper.nand - Creates a dump of the NAND FLASH memory of the console
dumper.lv1 - Dumpea the LV1
matheros_direct-slim - Boot Linux directly on the console obviously must have been pre-installed before (To Slims)
matheros_direct-fat - Boot Linux directly on the console obviously must have been pre-installed before (To FATS)

These flags or files are placed in the root of usb / dev_usb000 only have to create an empty document even from the context menu of windows and these names and ready, you can invoke the boot and call to fulfill a task as their names pre-written.

As you see you can avail of basic features including the Preloader from the very start just using FLAGS. Write access to the flash from the start, no dev_fast, etc.. It follows the runtime load EGEA.SELF at startup. Improvised use of new syscalls 15,16,20 (lv2 memcpy, memset lv2 and lv1 CallGate).

Details: Using MatherOS direct start to load directly into the console linux without going through the VSH. XploraMAs improved the display of units and contents. MultiTheme included in their own zip.

Position of the patches:

In this first version of TheGrid in MA we are 6 options or patches are:

First patch (first number in the 64): this corresponds to MatherOS Patch to disable or enable the use of Linux on the console.
Second patch (second number in the 64): Corresponds to load the syscall PL3 Payload 35 in the console.
Third patch (third number in the 64): Corresponds to load Payload Supports sc MAS 36 and 8 on the console.
Fourth patch (fourth number in the 64): Corresponds to load BD region Free bone patch overrides the restriction on the region bds ignoring methods such as changing the console region (Annoyed if you have to do all the time).
Fifth patch (fifth in number 64): Corresponds to the patch that disables the PS1 disk check on the console.
Sixth patch (sixth in number 64): Enables or disables dynamic patch the FW by loading a patch that makes bone PatchUser.bin the same user or future updates that we will be taking to thegrid will come in the form of a file "PatchUser.bin" that will contain the updates.
Seventh patch (Seventh in the number 64): Enables or disables support for LV2 Dynarec in order to use dynamic recompilation of the emulators and performance improvements in them (For use with emulators suits the users and devs who want the best performance).

Improvements over the sp1.2.1 ....
From now you ought to use this version of Iris prepared with the SP Manager 1.3, as always thanks to D_Skywalk to have this manager: http://www.mediafire.com/?72h34t5h5arvk97

Need not be used more compatible 36 or 35 +8 +8 managers to use than the iris manager.
You do not need the profile of support for minis and games like GT5 or from dust that was frozen.
No change of region, as this patch to put the reader region free.
Be able to boot linux from bypassing the xmb.


FAQ ...

I need to install an SP before this?
- No, the SP has all the old and new

I have to put in service mode to install the SP?
- No, use Aegean to install it.

It comes all included in the RAR?
- If including the new Dynamic MultiTheme

Managers Supported

Iris Manager 3.56
H Manager 1.5
Solar Rogero Edition 8.5
Multiman 2.008.05


That is the XploraMAs?
- It is a port of the xmb plus but not required PKGs and is much faster displaying content.

It is also necessary to emphasize that the writing on the flash is activated from the start of MA, I mean you have to not use any type mounting system dev_fast etc, just copy and paste the same flash as you have all permits in MA.

Post Experiences with JFW 3.56 SP 1.3 DH-MA

Well as the title says this post is created for people who have installed the SP 1.3 discuss their experiences and to be failures and others. Also go up Thegrid.cfg with different combinations.

Known bugs:

In some PS3 when you turn on the PS3 Dynarec starts.

CGFS of Thegrid:

CFG with only 36 active syscall: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0yv52l
CFG with activated MAtherOS syscall 36 and BD region Free: http://www.sendspace.com/file/c9slio
CFG alone with MAtherOS: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7wsabw
CFG with 36 and Dynarec activated syscall: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pqvbfu
CFG with all patches disabled: http://www.sendspace.com/file/d69wuw

The failure of Mortal Kombat is not due to SP 1.3 in different cfw already presented the same fault in some cases solved, uninstalling and reinstalling everything again and finally the fix as you know.

You can not use the SC 36 and SC 35 at a time, the PS3 is unnecessary and not ripped it all depends on what you need at all times.

From now you ought to use this version of Iris prepared with the SP Manager 1.3, as always thanks to D_Skywalk to have this manager: http://www.mediafire.com/?72h34t5h5arvk97

Will be updated with more CFGs.

Installation method of CFGs:

To install create a folder called CFGs GRID_UPDATER at the root of the pen and there you put the CFG, and now you put the Pen in the USB00 and start the PS3, and there you will have installed. You should not have any Aegean in the usb.

ConfEditor by Vakaloka, Create Your Custom Conf

Good friends, our friend has created a tool vakaloka to the PC with which we can create our own TheGrid.cfg, method of use is very simple ..

1) Unzip the contents of the rar
2) We will have an executable and patcher
3) Run the program and see that we have the name of the patches and not or whether to enable or disable the patch
4) Once selected we want to give to save settings, we will ask you say a name TheGrid
5) The establishment of a TheGrid.cfg that you will have to put in a root folder called USB GRID_UPDATER, we put in the cfg
6) Insert the USB pen in the closest to the reader and turn on the ps3 normally, it automatically saves your new cnf

And this, so simple, as it brings patcher.txt point the application, but future patches can expand by simply adding each new name under the following

Download the new version 1.2 (fixes a bug in the previous version):

True Blue Releases v2.62 Update but Sony made a move

Sony finally made a move regarding TB, seems that they giving a big headache to the TB team messing with the way the eboot’s are package..Nice one $ony.


Recently, Sony has been making some major changes behind the scene in the way eBOOT’s are packaged as result it is getting tougher and tougher to get these latest PS3 games running on the last currently available Jailbreak v3.55 firmware, whereas the games and console themselves are already up to the v4.11 system design.
But fear not as the ‘True Blue‘ team has been hard at work over the last two months on this problem, and today they have released v2.62 of their dongle firmware which will again able you to fully enjoy the hottest new games being released on your PS3 console designed for v4.11!
10 – 5 – 2012 True Blue dongle firmware v2.62 has been released. Changes include: Fixed a major game compatibility issue which will allow the release of several popular, previously incompatible titles Improved system stability Recently, EBOOT patches have slowed due to a compatibility issue which prevented recent games from running on 3.55 CFW. This issue has been resolved as of this firmware release, thus we strongly recommend that everyone update their True Blue dongles as soon as possible in anticipation of the upcoming batch of releases.
