PS3 dev Glevland has released a new CFW which can boot your PlayStation 3 straight into Petitboot!

PS3 Developer 'Glevand', has released over at Gitbrew a new CFW which can boot your PlayStation 3 straight into Petitboot.

With this one, you can choose what would you like to boot when starting up your PS3: GameOS or Linux!

Here's the official info:

YAY!
Got cold boot working on PS3 Slim
My theory was right, i patched the initial GOS loader in process 9 of LPAR1 and it works now.
I can cold boot my petitboot with just pressing power button once.

Mega cool I can wakeup my PS3 with Ethernet Wake-On-LAN magic packet and if OtherOS flag is set then my PS3 slim cold boots petitboot Just like old times when we had old OtherOS.

Yay, i'm even able to cold boot my Linux with the PS button on my PS3 controller.

Yeah, with SS patch.
I can upload my ps3mfw patch so you could build your own FW without SS patch if you want.

@glevand from AlexPS3 - Yes thanks, I have 9 ps3,8 with linux and 1 with linux/games (I have CDs, not backups), with SS path has problems with trophies.

@AlexPS3 - I added the new option --patch-lv1-otheros-plus-plus-cold-boot-fix to patch_lv1.tcl

You can find more info at the official Gitbrew forum thread below!

So would this work on CECHK01? Otherwise I'm gonna have to give this one a pass. he talks about slim and I don't have a slim.

Surely this will work for fat models as well. I have a fat PS3 myself. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

If I had a NAND-flash-based console, then I'd be willing to test that out but sadly, I don't, so I don't know whether it will work on such consoles, but then again, it should hopefully work like Tony said.
