Thanks SMOKE, I appreciate the help, and so far all of my games appear to work, or at least that is what the compat list says. However I do have some questions regarding some things, what is BD-mirror, direct boot, and ebootfix? And what do each of these do?

That is so you can play your PS3 backups without the disc inside the PS3. If you use a Cobra 7 CFW then the BD mirror works on 100% of games.
In any other CFW the game may or may not work without a disc in the drive.

IIRC that's in multiMAN. It's used to launch the game immediately from multiMAN without exiting to the XMB

Afaik that's for 3.55 CFW's only. It resigns the eboot to work on 3.55

Ah I see thank you! also saw your post with you PS3 fan mod! LOOKS AWESOME MAN! A buddy of mine carved out a dragon on the front of his pc case and it lights up green :D thing looks SICK! Also I am looking for someone to paint my console for me and what would be a somewhat stupid question is what is the benefit of the fan mod you have and if I get a fan mod like yours should I get the system painted before or after the fan mod is installed and where can I get a custom fan grill like you have except with a "leaf" on it?

You never hear the fan and it's cool at around 40C even after playing games for a couple hours. 8-)

I would cut the hole before you get it painted. If you don't you may damage the paint.

I found it on Ebay. You need a 80mm fan grill. It's pretty easy to find.

My issue is I cannot find a grill with a pot leaf :(
