True Blue - New Dongle and news of support for existing users!

[Bartholomy]

NEWS UPDATE: January 7th, 2011 -- 'True Blue' releases v2 of their CFW to support more future upgrades & downgrading!

The developers behind 'True Blue' have released v2 of their 'custom firmware' that allows for more upgrades in the future, and official support for downgraded PS3 Consoles!



For more information and links to firmware updates please check out our 'True Blue' F.A.Q.

Great News. Is it an upgrade of the old CFW we MUST use, or just for downgraded consoles? Normal users can skip it?

"allows for more upgrades in the future"

So maybe we do need it?

[Bartholomy]

Yep. That's the part made me wonder. Maybe is needed for 2.5+ updates.

well apparently you havent downloaded it yet. Because in the download library it specifically reads:
We recommend that all True Blue users update their PS3 to this CFW as soon as possible, as support for V1 CFW will be depreciated with the upcoming True Blue dongle firmware update.

EDIT:

Excellent. Figured they would actually go "new firmware" route which allows core DRM changing (clone protection).

I'm sure they beefed up security, but how can they completely change CFW encryption/protection, does it modify the dongles memory to use a different decrypter or something?

You know Cyberskunk will come through with the goods, he always does!

On topic: Good to see you guys getting some love
Hope you get the EBOOTs you crave soon

for me it's not "THE eboots I crave"... it's more about continued, consistent, timely ... support I deserve as a paying customer. Flame away.. but yea.. i think paying customers derserve this..

btw.. Issac the bartender is da bomb!

Just installed it. In XMB update screen it says firmware v3.55-TrueBlue-DG (DG i assume means downgrade), then after install the system info is like before e.g; Version 3.55-True Blue v2.4, w/o dongle v3.55.

EDIT: Just to confirm it works, loaded Dead Rising 2: Off the record, Bodycount, and just released PSN Splinter cell HD

So, do we need to install the 2.4 update or not?

If your dongle was or is already running v2.4 then no, but if just recently purchased or never updated from v2.2 or v2.3 then Yes.

There is two parts to the TB the CFW which was just updated and the other part is on the dingle itself that is updated with those smaller pkg files.

"on the dingle itself that is updated with those smaller pkg"

So to clarify,... if u have a "smaller package", u need a new "dingle".............!
