This is similar in function to the well known kmeaw CFW; however it also includes modifications which allow True Blue to operate correctly. The 3.55-Dongle firmware updater is distributed in a file labelled "TrueBlue-3.55- MD5: 43C522F8897D77B6165F95BCF3409090 SHA1: A64B010DB98996C7E53768D37D4D346F271D5950 Once you have confirmed that you have obtained the correct updater file, proceed with the update as follows: Obtain a USB storage device such as a USB HDD or USB flash memory stick Create a folder on the storage device in which to save the update file. Using a PC, create a folder named "PS3" on the storage device. Within the PS3 folder, create a folder named "UPDATE" Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file to the "UPDATE" folder created in step 2. Thus, you will have this path structure on your USB storage device: \PS3\UPDATE\ Boot your PS3 and insert the USB storage device into the PS3 From the home menu, select (Settings) -> (System Update) -> (Update via Storage Media) The PS3 will notify you that the "3.55-Dongle" After the update has completed, your PS3 will restart and you now be running the 3.55‐Dongle custom firmware. You may now enjoy the use of the True Blue dongle (NOTE: The above procedure is only applicable to PS3's on or below system software v3.55) Using True Blue To use True Blue, simply insert the dongle into one of the USB ports on your PS3 and power the system up. Do not remove the dongle at any point while the PS3 is running. True Blue for the most part functions just like a regular jailbreak/CFW in that you may install and run any homebrew software and all of the standard backup managers are supported. The most notable difference is that games designed for PS3 system software v3.6 and above are also supported. However, in order to enjoy such titles, you must first obtain special "True Blue versions" which have been modified to function with True Blue. Such modified versions are available for download through the "usual channels" and are clearly labelled as being True Blue compatible. Once you have obtained True Blue modified games, simply copy them to your PS3 internal or external USB HDD as you would with any usual jailbreak game and launch in the usual manner through any one of the many available backup managers. Updating True Blue From time to time, we will release firmware updates for True Blue which will add new features. Directions and a list of changes will be provided inside the firmware update archive file. True Blue Dongle Update v2.2 How to update: 1. Make sure your PS3 is running the True Blue "3.55-Dongle" 2.
