Good tidbits of information was released today from Mathieu Hervais, one of the key developers behind the original PSGroove exploit for the PS3.
These tidbits of information, might be the ticket needed to get some "black screen" backups working correctly, and also some much needed "game updates" on your Jailbroken PS3 v3.41 console.
Problem is Mathieulh does not support the idea of "backups" on your PS3 console, so it is up to some smart fellow hacker like maybe Hermes to use these tidbits of key information in a new updated payload!

Before you ask, because this is mostly backups related I wont be implementing this on the psgroove payload. If others want to implement this patch, that will be their call.
Traducción : Algunas actualizaciones de los juegos usan lv2open para comprobar el param.sfo para estar seguro que el disco esta en la unidad,el problema es que psjailbreak solo parchea el vsh y muchos juegos necesitan insertar un blu-ray si estas usando un backup.
Y aquí muestra el código a insertar

here are the actual checks, it checks if a pointer is null, if it is, it errors, then they check the first char in the game's title id buffer, if it's 0 it erros and later a special memcmp is called which compares the title ids from the patch's sfo with the one from the disc's sfo.
Anyway I felt like it is better to explain the actual check for people's educational purposes.
Lo que en resumidas cuentas,con esto que publica podriamos actualizar nuestros juegos,lo mas probable que salga algun nuevo payload (quizas hermes este metido en el asunto) y tambien un nuevo open manager que implementaria todo esto.
