I've done plenty of XBox1 hacks and 360 hacks but I just now got around to getting a PS3 (well, two). I currently have a CHECHE01 @ 4.50 and a CHECHP01 @ 4.50

I'd like to get at least one of them downgraded as well as being able to play online with the downgraded system. Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated. I'm just looking to get pointed in the right direction. There is so much info out there that it is pretty confusing. Thanks!

 

When i got mine a few months ago, I wanted to run CFW, but after looking around everyone was saying you cant play online with CFW anymore, so i just run the Sony firmware now.

 

I saw a program called FuckPSOnline or something like that. Supposed to let you play online. Have not researched it.

 

I'd suggest the forums here Playstation 3 (PS3) Hacking and Modding Community - PS3 Hacks, Mods, Homebrew, from what I've found the 4.xx firmware requires hardware mods to downgrade.

 

No problem with hardware hacks. Makes it more interesting (but more expensive).
