You could restore the functionality by opening the Game Pak and replacing the battery, but that saved data was lost. It's the same fundamental issue for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, but a little more severe. It checks the saved date and time information against the information from PSN before booting any game. This isn't just for digital games, either -- physical games require this check as well.
Therein lies the problem. Sony's PSN will, inevitably, one day shut down on these consoles, and the closure of their respective PlayStation stores is the first step toward that future.
Because Sony has neglected to focus on backwards compatibility for their consoles, many of these games will eventually be unplayable. This isn't a new idea, either; some enthusiasts have been warning about this for years as digital content became more commonplace. The result was the same each time: the game would not play. Hikiko stressed he wasn't aiming to scare users but to educate and raise awareness. I also soldered a wire to the battery connector on the controller board, so the whole charging board will be acting like a battery for the controller.
Then, I added 4 contact "beard" connector and soldered the coil to it. It is nessesary fir it to have 4 connectors since you are not going to plug the battery to the controller again, but to this beardy contacts. Look at the picture. And yes, i had to tear the plastic cover away from the controller battery since it adds whole 2.
Maybe it is not necessary, I just wanted to be sure everything fits inside. In fact, after this whole manipulation there is some room left. Maybe for other mods, who knows? Keep in mind that if you connect something in reversed polarity - it gonna catch up fire, explode, tear your head off and burn your neighbourhood.
You don't want that so please please please take pictures of what you doing to know the polarity. These devices aren't designed to be opened by kiddos like you and me so there is no protection against reversed polarity in em. You flip the wires - it explodes. You use uncolored wires - it explodes! Well, probably it won't explode, but be carefull there, allrighty? Now, the easy part. You need to put everything together. I hope you didn't lose any screws.
You connect the battery to the beardy contact array, you stick the charging board in its place between the plastic cover and controller board, you place the panel connector in the plastic circle on the left and you connect the beardy connector and the panel together.
Then, make sure everything is in its place, position the battery maybe add some sticky tape or something , make sure that if you close the controller nothing is going to pierce the battery or tear the wires.
And - gently close the plastic covers. Screw everyting together. View previous topic : View next topic. This post is not being displayed. Super Spammer Joined: 29 Sep Karma :. Posted: - 01 Mar Post subject: PS3 controller swollen battery?
Back to top. You must be logged in to rate posts. Posted: - 01 Mar Post subject:. However, companies are anything but neutral parties, so any explanation they give you about your ownership or rights will be heavily biased in their favor compaired to a vanilla interpretation of the law. For example, don't expect them to mention that until you actually click that "I Agree" button, you are under no contractual obligations.
Untill you enter into the licensing agreement, you still own the device and any software it came with. If someone buys a console with the sole purpose of reverse-engineering it, and doesn't actively agree to the license, they could do their work and the license wouldn't matter since it wouldn't be in effect for them.
Let me subscribe to Pauls, comments here. Closed systems have no future in the industry. We can see this using Android as an example, which, effectively, whipping out Apple's closed proprietary ecosphere. Whilst I used the OtherOS option only once on my first PS3, it was utilised as a selling point and a a point of differentiation for the console in the early days of the life cycle.
To remove it, even though the reasons were understandable, was akin to telling children that they can't have a cheeseburger and a can of Coke after allowing them to gorge themselves on said fare for several months. I think that it would have been a better strategy to look at engaging in a discourse with old matey and his ilk and seeking their assistance to remedy the breach. I didn't describe the recalcitrant Mr Hotz as evil, rather suggested that his motives were less than pure.
I am, as are you, against irresponsible disclosure, piracy and abuse of IP. I am also vehemently opposed to the Apple model, though I understand it; they are catering for the lowest common denominator LCD and need to protect their bottom line from the garden variety idiot.
Perhaps it is simply greed that is driving companies to lock down their systems, evolution continues to create a more complex idiot, idiots break things and call support lines. All of the above said, I have no solution. I did think that Sony got it right with the PS3 initially, allowing for hobbyists to have a space on the console whilst everything else was locked down and raising the ire of the "community". Their response was poor, though nowhere near as morally bankrupt of those nameless muppets who chose to vandalise their network in "protest".
On the contrary, caring more about playing games than supporting those who choose to exersise their legal rights is the far less ethical position. If someone cheats, by all means scorn them but that is not what GeoHot did.
I think if you buy it …it is your's to use…and no one should try to keep you from using it…. How will this affect gaming on the PS3? I don't mind the crack as long as people normally year-olds who like to mess the games up for everyone else aren't able to alter the games. I have never seen a company destroy their own reputation so quickly before, over just a few short years of stunts like putting rootkits on their CDs.
I can install whatever I want on it but am subject to the conditions of that company. I totally agree with you!! If you don't like the restrictive licensing, don't buy a PS3, or 4. When you purchase the box, you buy it as is under Sony's terms. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. And if you want to install your own software, then you should create your own box from the ground up. Theft is theft. I'm still trying to understand where the "theft" is.
You purchase the box your choice of words. It's yours. You zap the software that's on it and run your own, duly-licensed software instead. The only other alternative is that when you want to stop running the vendor's software, you throw the box away, or else you're being evil.
Presumably you can't sell it, since in your scenario it's hard to see how you could own it free and clear. Bit wasteful, wouldn't you say? It's a bit like a retaurant refusing to give me a doggy bag of leftover food I've already paid for, and which would otherwise be wasted, because to do so would amount to authorising me to "steal" it. I wonder when they will tell me that I can't replace or modify the engine in my car because it too is theft?
If I install a performance chip and alter the system is that theft? It doesn't really matter as they are now trying to pass a law in America that anything you buy that is imported to America isn't yours to sell without paying the company that made it their SHARE of your profit.
