Mame Preview PS3

Playing badlands eventually, too many roms

Absolutly great !

GRAB IT HERE

Unofficial MAME 0.142 PS3 GameOS port

http://code.google.com/p/psmame/

Installing:
Install the psmame package onto your jailbroken PS3 using normal means.
By default all data paths for mame are located under /dev_hdd0/ROMS/mame_data.
ROMS themselves can be placed anywhere and their location chosen with the frontend. The recommended path is /dev_hdd0/ROMS/mame.

Default controls:
As of right now the only defined controls are R3 to open the MAME config menu, Select for coin, and Start for starting the game.
Further control changes can be made in the MAME config menu as needed.
Up to four controllers can be used at one time.

Frontend:
The frontend can display screenshots of games, these should be placed in /dev_hdd0/ROMS/mame_data/snaps. You can find a full set at

Paths:
Under /dev_hdd0/ROMS/mame_data
hash: path to hash files
samples: path to samplesets
artwork: path to artwork files
ctrlr: path to controller definitions
ini: path to ini files
font: path to font files
cheat: path to cheat files
crosshair: path to crosshair files
snaps: path to screenshots for frontend

Under /dev_hdd0/game/MAME90000/USRDIR/data
cfg: directory to save configurations
nvram: directory to save nvram contents,
memcard: directory to save memory card contents
inp: directory to save input device logs
sta: directory to save states
snap: directory to save screenshots
diff: directory to save hard drive image difference files
comments: directory to save debugger comments

Known issues
When adding ROMs into your ROM dir, you must tell the frontend to rescan them. This can be done in the R3 menu.
The display currently only supports scaling by pixel aspect ratio. Future versions will support various aspect correction modes.
Changing video settings in the menu may crash MAME, they don’t work anyway so don’t bother.
Games which require a recompiler will not run.
Games which have high memory requirements will not run, the PS3 only has a little of 220MB of RAM available.
The default controls will need to be tweaked by the user.

Here, i got it working
Make sure you put a rom in the /dev_hdd0/ROMS/mame so you can enable R3, Then you can browse to the desired directory!

thank you and looking forward to a finished build

Hope you enjoy

Personally im sticking with my Dongle. But if its Custom Firmware that you want, then you mmight be interested in this?

Quote:
tested IN:

CECHC04 (my model, 3 times with different changes, FAT 60GB)
CECHG04 (FAT)
CECHH04 (FAT 40GB)
CECHL04 (FAT 80 gb)
CECH2504B (slim)
CECH2404A (slim)
CECH2004A (slim)
CECH2004B (slim)

Hermes CFW 3.41 version 1.0 (BETA)
———————————-

WARNING! This modified firware is tested only by two persons (it is experimental!!!) with this models:

CECHC04 (my model, 3 times with different changes, FAT 60GB)
CECHG04 (FAT)
CECHH04 (FAT 40GB)
CECHL04 (FAT 80 gb)
CECH2504B (slim)
CECH2404A (slim)
CECH2004A (slim)
CECH2004B (slim)

I cannot be sure if it can brick others models (don´t use this CFW if you have buy your console with 3.50+, you can brick it!)

I am not responsible if this CFW brick you console: I have taken all possible precautions using SHA1 hash to avoid errors building
the firmware, etc, and other problems (i include too my own patch utility to be sure you apply the patch correctly).

Building the firmware:

Put original PS3UPDAT.PUP (3.41 v2) with patch.bat and run patch.bat. It must create CFW341_PS3UPDAT.PUP.

Put CFW341_PS3UPDAT.PUP as PS3UPDAT.PUP in one pendrive (usb:/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP) and try toupdate normally from the device.

If it say “you have this version yet” try the restoration - recovery method (pressing POWER. Ask about this method if you don´t know in the forums)

Features:

- LV1 patch for undocumented v1_undocumented_function_114 (kudos for flukes1/graf_chokolo) 1 byte, don´t worry! XD

- LV2 peek/poke patch (original from psgroove)

- vsh.self patch to enable .self (same patch as psgroove-hermes_v4B. To launch self requires the payload working)

- nas_plugin.sprx patch to enable packages (same patch as psgroove-hermes_v4B. You can install PSL1GHT original packages but requires
geohot make_self_npdrm without one payload working)

- category_game.xml modified to enable packages (kudos for KaKaRoTo)

With this options PS3 works with Homebrew signed (use make_self_npdrm in the EBOOT.BIN).

Working:

Install payloadhv4.pkg and launch it to load the psgroove-hermes_v4B

NOTE: payload code is experimental. I need to work in the application and the payload to add news features.
don’t worry about the source code now: this is a beta test version yet, but the source code will soon available.
Becareful, very very careful. USE AT OWN RISK!

On February 2nd, Guerrilla Games will be opening the gates to the game’s multiplayer beta, which will let you sample the game’s online components as well as the revamped precision controls. , you will be able to download and play the Killzone 3 Open Beta from the PlayStation Store. That is of course if you have yourself a US PSN account. If not make one, use Beverly Hills 90210 as address lol!! . Or you could wait a day as the Open Beta will also be available to UK players between the 3rd of Feb and the 15th.

Whats in-store is all detailed below. Look out for Budape, hes gonna stab you in the face !!

This Beta will offer you exclusive early access to the MP05 ‘Frozen Dam’ multiplayer level from Killzone 3, including all three online multiplayer modes – Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations – as well as the offline multiplayer mode, Botzone. A sprawling asymmetrical map set in an old dam facility, the playing field in MP05 has been carefully tailored to fit each of the multiplayer modes.

These are the four multiplayer modes included with the Open Beta: be available in the final game:
Guerrilla Warfare (16 players)

Guerrilla Warfare is a standalone multiplayer mode similar to classic Team Deathmatch: You and your teammates must try to kill as many of the opposing team as you can before the timer runs out. In this mode, only the downstream monitor houses and repair bay are accessible, giving the map a very frantic pace.
Warzone (24 players)

If you’ve played Killzone 2, you may already be familiar with Warzone. It’s a round-based multiplayer campaign that consists of five randomly ordered mini-missions. In this mode the power house and penstocks directly under the dam are accessible as well, so there’s more room to come up with different strategies and approaches to your goal.
Operations (16 players)

Operations is a new multiplayer campaign which aims to deliver a more cinematic, story-based gameplay experience, similar to that of Killzone 3’s single-player mode. It consists of a sequence of linear mini-missions, in which the ISA must try to secure the docks and destroy the dam, while the Helghast must try to protect the dam facility.
Botzone (16 players)

Botzone is an offline multiplayer mode ideal for those looking to get to grips with the controls, the weapons or the map layout before going up against live players. Each of the aforementioned multiplayer modes can be played offline, against CPU-controlled opponents.

Next week can not come quick enough.

Well now its officially been opened like Pandora im sure theres a number of you out there using either a USB Dongle or CFW to get your homebrew kicks.
Currently im on OFW 3.41 with my 2nd PS3. Yes 2nd as i jumped on the bandwagon about 4 months ago using my Teensy 2++ which i can highly recommend. Ive got mine installed into a old Official PlayStaion 2 memory card. It looks super sick as you can see from this short vid :

I love it, and its enough reason for me to keep on this hack. I personally not bothered about being on PSn, as i have a Master PS3 which i use Officially!

Send us a shout and let us know what method you use.

Well it was bound to happen as more and more jump on the PlayStation 3 hacking scene. All those Damn pirates have finally shown up giving a slew of us Homebrew uses on the ps3 hack a bad name.

This has led to the popular and unpopular torrents exploding on to the internet.
Well i bet EA are not gonna be happy as a few days ago the highly anticipated Dead Space 2 has been leaked.

Not out till Friday over here, the releases is apparently genuine and is a EU version. Weighing it at around 13 gigs and on the new firmware, 3.55!

GET THE 3.41 EBOOT HERE

(if like me your happy to stay on 3.41 as you love the way it works, here you go!

I find it quite an irony that i have this on Pre-order and will be lucky to get it by Friday, and some spotty fat kid who is not even old enough to purchase the game probably has all the trophies for it already! GGRRRRRRRRRRR

Well its out Friday the 28th here in the U.K. Absolutely cant wait for this to drop. The first game was a masterpiece, scary as hell , gory, graphically awesome and the sound was sublime. So what will number 2 in the series bring us?

Thats right, multiplayer is the biggest and most favored addition for me. Check it out above !

I managed to squeeze in the Beta for a short period and it was amazing!
Either playing as a group of four Isaac’s with plasma cutters, javelin guns, stasis and the like you must capture keys and devices, hack doors open in a mission/task based experience. Working together is essential as you can nether tell where the pesky Necromorphs will appear from.
As a Necromorph you got to pick 3 different sorts. The little baby one was a personal favorite!

Well as predicted the inevitable has happened, the PS3 is finally smashed to bits. It may have taken 6 years to get to this stage, but what a ride we had!

Theres a huge number of ways to achieve the ability to use homebrew and unsigned code on the ps3, i personally have a 3.41 with hermes on a teensy==, pictures coming soon as it is super cooolio!

Again we get a new update this week giving us more features to use. Personally not that happy with the old OS saga that took place a few months ago but at least Sony do seem to be trying to win us back! Heres whats new ( taken from US BLOG PS):
