CONFIRMED: 3.42 Games Now Working on Jailbreaked 3.41 Consoles

The video shows real playing and the XMB with the install packages and the firmware version, just to show that’s true. The method is: * Have Hermes V4 version * Edit PARAM.SFO to ask for the 3.41 firmware. * Copy the eboot from UFC 2010 * Install OManager 2.1, that will patch the game. * This patch makes tha data game install in the external hd instead of internal. Load the game and install the 1.01 patch of the game from internet, and then the game will ask you to install the game data, that will be in the external if we’ve loaded the patch.

News is streaming in that Magunia07 over at Elotrolado  has managed to get Medal of Honor to run on a 3.41 console. His method may sound strange as it involves replacing the original Medal of Honor EBOOT.BIN with the EBOOT.BIN from UFC 2010. He then patched the PARAM.SFO’s version from 3.42 to 3.41. The final thing he did was install the 1.01 game update for Medal of Honor.

So why does this work? Well when there is a game patch/update installed, the PS3 completely ignores the original EBOOT.BIN and instead utilizes the one from the game update. So the UFC 2010 EBOOT is completely ignored. Technically you should be able to replace the MOH EBOOT.BIN with any other game’s EBOOT.BIN. You’re not stuck with just having to use UFC 2010′s EBOOT.BIN.

It appears the Medal of Honor patch/update EBOOT.BIN is encrypted with keys that are still on 3.41. Therefore, the game becomes runnable on 3.41. Below is video footage of the trick in action, and complete instructions from Magunia07.
