Ps3 to force firmware update to play some new games! - Off-topic

http://tinyurl.com/37s3uhh
I mentioned this when the first hacks started coming out that were restricted to the firmware.it looks like sony is going to be forcinggamers to update their firmware to play at least 1 new game and probably will on more. The psfreedom/psgroove days may not last long.

Without be reading anything extra, doesn't the PS3 already make you update to a new FW w/ new games or playing online? I think it's some new PSP game that's going to make you update your PSP FW....right?

MOH game will force you to update and so will the new Gran Turismo and im sure more are coming too

Yes your right about Sony forcing updates with new games. But that will not stop psgroove / freedom. This is just the beginning. They are working on cfw. It also won't be long until something like wiiscrub comes along and rids of the update partition. Or they find a way to patch the game. Best case scenario stay away from new games until they figure out the kinks.

Anyhow - why is this in with the evo stuff?

agreed. why is this in the evo forum? there is a playstation forum for this.
its sad that this site used to be the Holy Grail for development now its just gone down hill with all of this off topic banter.
and yes i know my post adds to the off topic however it needs to be said... this is my only comment on this though....
where are the mods?

We need a xbox thread too

It fits in the evo forum because u can use the evo to jailbreak your ps3. Probly should just be in the Android forum tho cuz u can use a lot of android phones for it. But that's y when u hack a console its good to keep a 2nd cheaper model to play online and for situations like this. But I guarantee that there will be a workaround for the update.

it's not even like this is new news. There have already been some games that required the first 3.42 update. Here you are worrying about 3.50? lol

The reason i posted it here is because as mentioned 1) you can use the EVO to apply the PSgroove/psfreedom hack and many on this forum DO.Could i have posted it in general Addroid sure i could have however not all android phones can be used so i guess under troll reasoning it shouldnt be posted there either and 2) "A. general is for general information. you have something to share? post it there." The purpose of a general forum is to allow you to post "general" information. As this is General Information and does actually apply to some evo owners i will ignore the people not intelligent enough to get it. I am all for people posting in the right sections however in this case the trolls need to get over it.
Now back on topic It took 4 years to get a working hack for PS3 and they still havent gotten around the new firmware. while it may be possible that they can work around other aspects to get these new games running ... there isnt much of a track record thus why i used the word MAY. I wouldn't hold my breath on everything working out at least quickly and in that case how many people are going to wait around for months to pick up a new game especially some of the highly anticipated ones (gt 5, MOH, rumored COD and assasins creed).
The big difference with this new plan is it doesn't just require you to update to play online, It requires you to update to play period and that the update is actually built into the disk (versus being online which is currently used for updates and can currently be circumvented.) This is not how updates are currently handled and it is going to start showing up on games coming out in the very near future.

Yeah its been done before, not with all the games but I expect this to be more common now with the jailbreaking.
Heard the new MoH isn't that good though. Anyone play it?
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC

Sorry, but this thread has nothing to do with the EVO, Android, or even mobile phones, so I will place it in Off Topic.

i wanna jailbreak but i havent got a desire or anything.
anyone do it for xdaII or lg gt540?

I wanted to do it for emulators, but decided modern warfare 2 was just to fun to give up online.

PSP, 2 CFW or not 2 CFW

Besides the old and tired reason of playing "back ups", is there any real reason to hack a psp. It's cool and gets you geek cred. But with a smartphone that does emulation, youtube, and skype, why would you want to hack a psp? Can anybody help me? Just looked and I'm still on 5.xx from when I bought Gran Tourismo. I know that they are up to 6.3x and there would be alot for me to do. But just looking for a reason to. Anybody running cfw and have a perspective I can't see? Please chime in.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks. Just too much risk for not enough return imo. I don't steal games, so not worth it for me.
Personally, I've tried emulators on my Evo, and for me it's super odd to play them on a touch screen. I've tried using a wiimote with it's attachment, but no matter what wiimote or ime I've used, there's always a input delay. PSP can emulate PS1, N64, GBA, SNES, and Genesis for me with decent controls. Plus there are some games on it that are pretty good. Phantasy Star Portable series is pretty good.

PSP On The Xoom - Will It Be A Part Of The PlayStation Suite?

About the PSP emulation on the Xoom... we already know it should be able to be done without a problem considering the fact that Sony announced that they are officially bringing the PS1 and PS2 library of games to our Android Tegra 2 devices via the PlayStation Suite by the end of this year. Where does that leave our PSP games? Will it be joining the crew in the Suite? I would love to know. I am currently playing the new Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy on my PSP 3000 and it rules, I love it!! Would be kinda neat to run it on the Xoom for future use. Thoughts?
I think this is an appropriate place to post. I'm not sure but I think I've seen one on the market.... anyways good idea +1

I think the best people to ask would be the developers of emulators like Snesoid, gensoid, N64oid, Fpse.
If there's anyone who can make emulators, these are the guys.

Very good point. I do have every single one of their emulators and I have quite a few of the premium paid ones too. They are a very awesome dev team and produce some top quality work. Maybe we should ask them if Sony has no plans to add in the PSP games to the Suite.
Don't know if you've seen this - http://pinoytutorial.com/techtorial...ase-for-playstation-games-on-tegra-2-devices/
I have seen it yes, but good info though. I'm really excited for the PlayStation Suite on Android! That includes the PS1 and PS2 games for sure as a fact. This I already knew. I wanna know if the PSP games will also be included in the PlayStation Suite line up. That would be pretty sweet to have all 3.. PS1, PS2, and PSP. Think about how many hardcore games Android will be gaining over iOS because of this. I'm thinking Final Fantasy. Mmmm!
Anything released by Sony for their own devices NGP/Xperia Play, that uses Android base (I don't actually know if NGP will run on Android, but it'd make sense for them to do so, since they'd get all the app support in addition to their own games), even if not released for other Androids, will likely be able to be hacked/modded to run on other devices, given the platform similarities.

I would hope they would. The PSN is Sony's thing. I'm almost sure that'll carry over. I highly doubt you will have to buy everything all over again considering the fact that your PSN account is linked to the PlayStation store. The store is essentially their version of the Android market in the sense that everything is linked to your email account. I wouldn't worry about that. But if for some reason they don't... that would suck.

I read somewhere that they would not carry over. It was on one of the articles last month. That and the 5 time download limit are the reasons I would never buy from the PSN.
Sony has stated that any game bought through the PSP would
not work on the android phones or service. You would need to repurchase any game you wished to play.
That's not cool man. Rebuy all games? I guess that makes sense I suppose.

App Store

I don't know if anybody posted this before, but has anyone ever though about getting apps and games from the Apple store on to your Android phone? Just a thought, but if anybody can do that, you would be my hero!
Thanks in advance

excellent question! I wanna know cuz I want Sonic 4 for Android, and given how open source it, it wouldn't suprise me if someone knows how to port Apple Apps
Different operating systems. Apps and games need to be PORTED to android... You can't just install them.
It's difficult to explain without some computer/coding knowledge......
Think of it in terms of a game that comes out on PC, Xbox and PS3. The game is developed with console in mind and then ported to the other systems. Naturally the original is far better, it's what it was coded for and optimized for. The ports, unless rebuilt from the ground up, are never as good.
Just like you can't stick an Xbox360 disk in your computer and start playing, you can't install an apple application on Android. Porting is a pain-staking process, eventually a majority of apps on the Apple store will make it to Android, but don't hold your breathe.
It can be as open source as it wants, it's still a difficult and painful process to port it to another operating system. If it was easy every PC app and title would be Mac friendly and Apple/Linux users would have more than the small handful of games to play that they unfortunately have.
If you want sonic download a Genesis emulator and play one of the originals. Touch screen controller emulated controls suck though . Wish their was a better alternative.

If an app has been ported (think angry birds) it would be in the android market, amazon appstore or getjar.com (in the case of the newly released cut the rope.)

Yes, I noticed this several days ago, and i'm sure they removed it because they were sick of the low ratings since it didn't scale correctly.
The letters were cut off at the bottom so u could only see 3/4 of it, people kept down rating it because of that. E looked like F unless you physically moved the tile out to see the bottom.
And it still says this on the market page:
"We are actively working on improving the Words With Friends as much as possible. Players can look forward to expecting a Honeycomb version soon."
So like i said, I'm sure we will beable to download it again once it's fixed and an official tablet version is released. And yes, that update notification was a month ago like i said.
I submitted a ticket to voice my opinion. Us Honeycombers need to speak up if we want more app support.

Yep, I hope the honeycomb one comes out soon like it says!
It was cut off at the bottom, but it was still playable. I don't see why they had to remove support while they get their act together for honeycomb.
I opened my app today and it says "An upgrade is available, click OK to upgrade" (no other options). I click OK and am redireted to the Market, where I am unable to upgrade because my device is no longer supported. I go back ot the app and am greeted with the same message telling me to "upgrade" with no "cancel" or "later" option, just "OK"
The box refuses to go away (back button doesn't work either) so I'm unable to play. This is utterly moronic.

Wanting more honeycomb apps is fine but make sure you complain to the right people. If zynga is for sure already working on a honeycomb version then bugging them is useless.

Can't believe we were anxiously awaiting this..

Android 4.2 doesn't even seem well thought out, let alone designed. Is Google playing the Apple game, tying us into their universe and making us take whatever the deliver?
Do they even care how many apps won't work or have to have multiple purchases to support their multi-user "security"? Should have just left the multi-user thing to 3rd party devs. They fail on this, IMO.

Google doesn't care.. Remember when 4.1.1 broke a bunch of paid apps by sticking them in the asec folder which wasn't mounted at startup? So since it wasn't mounted Android never saw the apps during boot and paid keyboards and widgets disappeared after a reboot. MONTHS went by before it was addressed. Meanwhile developers of those paid apps had angry customers and money lost because of Google
This will be the same song and dance.. Google is getting very sloppy with development and communication with developers pre-release seems to not exist.
I love it.

But still I agree with the OP. Google is becoming arrogant, sloppy and in its quest to be more user friendly making fiends of the ppl that were with them from version 1.

But what i am seeing mostly is app compatibility Being Broke.. This is something that will be fixed Quickly by most Developers.
Android is and always will be "A WORK IN PROGRESS". My opinion only but if you want bland and safe sell your nexus 7 to me for .50 cents and get a ipad mini.
People who are having issues Please go to the developers web site and let them know your app is not working properly .Give them exact details. You can do the same to google at groups.google.com. Just be Patient
Now my GRIPE The multi user cluster (word here im not typing) as others said was not well though through by google. My guess is they made a date promise and pushed out only part of the Feature.. Typical Google.
It will get better and it will happen quite soon.. Lets just hope...

I suppose YMMV, but I love 4.2. Smoother than 4.1, and nice features. The only thing that really seems half-assed is the multiuser support.
What is your problem with multi-user? For me and my daughter it is working great - could not be better.
I did add my account to her user ID Play store so she could see the apps we own and install the link.
Performance is good - all our preferences and accounts are separated - and I really can't think of any other features I would want.

I haven't played with multi-user yet, can you add the account just for the play store and not have someone access the gmail account associated with it?
That's my gripe, I want to be able to for ex, have my nephew play with my tablet and all the games etc, but don't want him to access to my gmail etc. I thought this was perfect for that but then read about the app issue. Also, I assume there is no type of limited user, in that a secondary account can still uninstall apps, but at least they can't delete files from the other users home dir.
Yes - my account is just added to my daughter's play store. Open play store and look at add account option.
Works perfectly to give her access to the apps we share.
NO shared Gmail.
Forgot something important:
When you add a second account to play store, you are given a bunch of items you can synch, like contacts.
Uncheck them all!

Stick mount wasn't a feature of 4.1. It was hacked in which is why you had to be rooted and use an app. You'll get USB support again. Multiuser support screwed with the storage. That's all.
New tweaks are a little rough around the edges but will be smoothed out soon enough. Give it time, damn guys. I personally think its no better or worse then 4.1.2. We just have a few new toys now.

4.2 = 1st time I've truly experienced "butter"...
Sure, I kinda miss the bells & whistles I had on Codename Android, and I'll definitely check out any forthcoming 4.2 updates, but scrosler's stock, rooted, deodexed ROM is far & away the smoothest, quickest ROM I've used on any Android device. Stock kernel, no tweaks, plain vanilla is for me for now. Way better Google experience. OK, I sideloaded the AOSP browser for Flash, but that's it. Chrome is much more responsive on 4.2 than 4.1.2 - Everything is noticeably quicker - I even detect better wireless response. Your results may vary, but I'm not going back!

If you are unhappy just roll back to 4.1.2. This isn't iOS. You can downgrade all you want.
Please tell me how, not rooted?

Wouldn't a factory image flashing work?

HMy guess is they made a date promise and pushed out only part of the Feature.. Typical Google.
It will get better and it will happen quite soon.. Lets just hope...

Well, I do belive that you are right. I also feared (and expected, to tell the truth) that something EXACTLY like this would happen. I tried NOT to update the system, but why the hell did they keep forcing it when we obvoiusly do not want it? And probably, they must have known that it will broke a lot of things...
Just to explain: for me, there was a message with three buttons: upgrade, more info (which leads to seme text and bigger "upgrade" button and "later", but that "later" means only "ask at next screen unlock" which made the tablet realy hard to use. So, what choice have I had?
