What do I need for this patch?

A PS3 that has not been updated beyond official firmware version 3.55 and/or can run homebrew. A retail copy of Tales of Vesperia for the PS3. A Windows PC to run the patching tool.

You can if at any point in its life it had firmware 3.56 on it (this is why it's not working with newer slims yet).

You should be OK, but you have to do this to check:

download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dex0jnklx4knj1u/MinVerChk.rar

1: extract the .pup file
2: Put the PS3UPDAT.PUP onto the USB Flash Drive in a PS3/UPDATE/ folder.
3: Power on your PS3 and navigate to the "System Update" option in the settings
4: Choose "Update Via Media Storage"
5: Let the PS3 search for the update, once it's found it it will ask you if you'd like to run it. Hit "OK"
6: It should only take a few seconds, a message will pop up telling you what the lowest version firmware your PS3 can use

If it says 3.56 or lower, you can do the hack

Let me know if you never find it. I just opened up a Gamefly account so I can rent it for you. No clue how to send you a 7gb iso but I am sure we can figure it out.


Yeah I did the thermal replacement. The job Sony did on those was awful.

However I am still worried it will die someday. I have read the best fix is to remove the PSU and leave it external but I have never found a good guide for it. The PSU gets so hot that you can literally cook an egg on it (burned my finger on one). I just wish some mod site released an easy external PSU fix.

The other thing I noticed inside was they went with that stupid design similar to the XBox 360s x-clamps. The clamps on the PS3 that hold the heatsinks in place are so loving tight that you can see the motherboard flexing without even trying to see it. This obviously contributes to the CPU/GPU detaching; just like the 360. While the XBox 360 x-clamp replacement guides are awesome (they give you exact part numbers to get at Lowe's), there really isn't a good guide for the PS3 fats.

This must be what happened to mine . I think all the power cycles trying to get the flash exploit to work and install the cfw finally did it in.
