( PIRACY <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> )  Unfortunately there is some bad news    The first CFWs for the ps3 was released a few years back, after that SONY patched the loopholes in their systems and since then there havn't been any developments in the PS3 SCENE <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" /> so no new CUSTOM FIRMWARE. The latest PS3 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE VERSION is 4.11. CFW is available only for version 3.55. so this means the latest games that require firmware versions higher than 3.55 CANNOT be played on a jailbroken ps3.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" />Going by the saying, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING i decided to jailbreak my ps3 and finally after 2 years of gathering dust my ps3 is back in action  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />  SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO JAILBREAK YOUR PS3? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />1.
