There is a lot of talk about mods for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles , but the PlayStation 3 console is also having one of its best moments.
Work is underway to install a complete Custom Firmware on the SuperSlim models, where it is currently only possible to run HEN (Homebrew ENabler).
While waiting for concrete developments, the developer aomsin2526 has given birth to the BadWDSD project , created with a very specific purpose: to allow the firmware downgrade on the SuperSlim models of PlayStation 3 consoles with NOR memory.
Downgrading means reverting your console to a previous version of the system software, the downgrade has been successfully tested by esc0rtd3w on a PS3 SuperSlim, going from version 4.91 to older firmwares such as 4.40 and 4.82.
For those who don’t know, downgrading is a very popular practice because it allows you to unlock features that Sony has blocked with official updates.
With an older firmware, for example, you can install a custom firmware that allows you to run homebrew, that is, unofficial applications and games, or even use the console for alternative purposes, such as installing Linux.
However, on a PS3 Superslim, this process was never easy. Traditional methods, such as using the E3 Flasher, were complex and fraught with risk.
It was necessary to create backups of the NOR memory, verify them with specific tools and follow detailed procedures to avoid “bricking” the console, that is, making it unusable. Each step required attention and technical skills, and a mistake could be costly.
With BadWDSD , things seem to get a little easier, though not without caveats. The modchip works in conjunction with a Pico microcontroller, a cheap device that makes the operation more accessible than the methods of the past.
However, on the BadWDSD GitHub repository , developer aomsin2526 left a clear warning: “DO NOT USE YET”.
This means that, despite the progress, the project is still in an experimental phase, and anyone who decides to try it must be aware of the risks, such as possible instability or damage to the console.
It should also be noted that the modchip is only compatible with NOR models and not those that use eMMC memory, so it is important to check your model before proceeding.
To give a more complete picture, it is useful to look at the broader context of PS3 exploits. BadWDSD is not an isolated project, but is part of a landscape of innovations that are keeping the modding scene alive.
An example is BadHTAB , another project by aomsin2526 , which exploits a hardware-software glitch at the hypervisor level (lv1) to enable advanced functionality on consoles that do not support custom firmware, such as those using PS3HEN .
With BadHTAB , you can do things like overclock your RSX GPU, dump your system memory, or boot Linux, although the success rate is low, around 5-10%, and requires technical skills like soldering a Raspberry Pi Pico.
BadWDSD , on the other hand, focuses on downgrading, making it easier to access older firmware and opening the door to all the possibilities that come with it.
What does this mean for PS3 Superslim owners? For those with modding experience, BadWDSD is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into your console.
Once the downgrade is complete, an exploit will be attempted to allow the downgrade to go below the minVerChk value to allow the installation of a Custom Firmware, which is only possible from version 3.56 or lower.
