Moved discussion thread from flash talk page

- Loosing Retail functionality(You could always just mod a DEX PUP and boom you got dvd,ps store etc)
- PSN not possible -> You can't play online(Hmmmm... LIE)
- More Stress to the console (Phats prone to YLOD) (Rly???)
- You can't play backups (obvious exception of MultiMan 3.55 DEX) (Lie, check a little folder known as ps3gen)

Explain your statements step by step. Otherwise, plain troll with BS. This is wiki, not twitter or forum or smth like that. Keep things clear and understandable.

Instead of having an edit war could we discuss it on irc? I can prove that what you write here are (un?)intentional lies.
1) What do you mean retail functionality? You can restore dvd playback and ps store to name a few by some sprx copying and xml editing. Just unpack a dex fw for 3.55 and a cex fw for 3.55 and note the differences in sprx. Then just add the correct xml keys. For example for ps store add the #seg_commerce_new key to category_psn.xml.
2)I did, however i can't prove it. Should you cex2dex and have latest dex fw you too will be able to sign in to PSN.
Answer from Mathieulh: You can't because your idps is NOT in sony's database, as such it will not pass PSN authentication, there is nothing you can do to fake this, you would need to use a real debug idps, end of story.
3) Can't comment on that one but would very much like a statement from whoever wrote it.
Answer from Mathieulh : This is obviously not true, however you CAN brick/ylod if you rebuild your EID wrong (the likeliness is high)
4)Do you want a video of it? Use ps3 generator tools to create a master disc or a usb image. Ever wondered what that item labeled Blu-Ray Disc Access in Debug Settings did? Now you can find out.
Answer from Mathieulh : The retail selfs are signed with special capabilities that make them only able to run from original discs (Masterdiscs != Original discs, lv2 can tell the difference) That's why you need decrypted selfs/fself to run games from masterdiscs or bdemu images, forget about running your "backups" (or should I say ,warez) Because ps3gen creates masterdiscs does not mean you can magically warez on the box. You can however play originals ! (I strongly advise you to start BUYING your games, (just saying))
5)Can't comment on that one.
