PSJailbreak Modchip for PS3 *updated* Update
Aug 23rd
**Update 3rd September**
PSJailbreak illegal in Australia??
While a number of sites are reporting that the PSJailbreak has been ruled as illegal in australia, there is no official word on this yet.
The current news is based on interpretation of updated court documents, but the court documents also state that the case is still open and has been adjourned.
Meanwhile, we have removed the product listing for PSJailbreak and if we hear that the PSJailbreak is in fact illegal, we will begin processing refunds for all pre-orders.
Please do not worry as funds are available to cover every single order.
We have been in business for years and have no intention of running away with your money. (we would prefer for you to come back and buy if the decision is overturned)
If you do not wish to wait for official word on the ruling, please email us with a request for refund.
Also, please be patient while waiting for a response. As you can imagine, we are receiving a large number of emails at the moment.
********************************************************************
Just a quick update for fans of TechSick or PSJailbreak.
We have taken some new pictures of the sample and are in the process of making some video guides.
Pictures are below

iPhone 3GS No Backlight LCD Fix
Jun 21st
iPhone 3GS No Backlight LCD Fix
Backlight fix for iPhone 3GS.
If your iPhone 3GS has taken water damage you may find that the backlight on the LCD stops working.
You may also get this problem if you try to put a 3G lcd in a 3GS or change the LCD without turning off the iPhone 3GS.
This isn’t a problem with the LCD itself, so replacing the LCD won’t fix the problem.
This issue is caused when a coil on the logic board is burnt out.

How to Backup / Copy Wii games using the WODE Jukebox Ripper – step-by-step tutorial
To make a backup copy of Wii games(and GameCube games – another tutorial) is a simple and fast process. Some games take as little as 3 minutes when you have everything setup the right way.
First your WODE Jukebox must have firmware version 2.0 or above(don’t confuse this with the Wii firmware version)
PS3 Modchip PS Jailbreak – USB Plug and Play Modchip for Sony Playstation 3 Released!:

How to Check the WODE Jukebox Firmware version.
This can be done easily and also takes about 10 seconds.
In the main WODE Menu use the joystick to toggle DOWN to [About] then toggle RIGHT and you will see something like this:

WODE Jukebox Main Menu

WODE Main Menu select About

WODE About - Shows WODE Version
***READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY***
* If your WODE Version firmware is less than 1.28 (eg. 1.10) then you need to update first to 1.28 (Download Here – WODE UPDATE 1.28) then to 2.1A
* If your WODE Version firmware is greater than 1.28 but less than 2.1A (eg. 2.0) then update to 2.1A (Download Here – WODE UPDATE 2.1A)

WODE Ripper Settings
To use the WODE to back up / rip your Wii games you must navigate from the WODE’s Main Menu to the Advanced Menu and then to the Ripper Menu as shown below:

WODE Main Menu select Advanced

WODE Advanced Menu select Ripper
Once in the Ripper Menu it will show Rip Setup. This is where you configure your settings to back up the Wii games(and GameCube games).

WODE Rip Setup menu
The first line displays the status of the Wii DVD drive also know as Optical Disc Drive (ODD)
eg.:
ODD : Ready – this is when there is a disc in the Wii that can be copied to the USB Hard Drive, Flash stick or SD Card
or
ODD : Empty – this is when there is no disc in the Wii DVD drive also know as Optical Disc Drive (ODD)
The second line shows:
Start – this is the function used to start Ripping Wii games and GameCube games
The third line displays the storage device connected to the WODE and it’s file system
eg.:
sda1 F – this shows a storage device is attached and uses a FAT file system
The fourth line shows the format the file will be saved as on the storage device, either .iso or .wbfs
eg.:
Format .wbfs or Format .iso

WODE Rip Setup select Format .wbfs
**Please Note: We recommend .wbfs as the files are normally a lot smaller**
and finally the fifth line displays what parts of the game disc will be copied
eg.:
Rip All
**Please Note: To keep it simple we recommend Rip All**
Ripping with WODE Jukebox
Now that all of the Ripper settings have been made it’s time to start copying(backing up) games onto your storage device
Put your Wii game disc into the optical disc drive (Wii DVD drive) and ODD : Ready will be displayed

WODE displays ODD : Ready when game disc is inserted
Now select [Start] as shown above and toggle right to commence Ripping

WODE Ripping is Initialising
Next you will see the progress of the Wii game rip displayed as a percentage (shown below)

WODE Ripping Progress displayed
When the WODE has successfully ripped the Wii game(usually in 3-10minutes) you will see rip complete

WODE successfully ripped Wii game disc
Once the Wii game has been ripped the disc will be ejected and you can either copy(backup) another game or return to the WODE Main menu and select the Wii game to start playing your backup copy from your USB Hard Drive, Flash stick or SD Card (storage device)
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!

How to set up WODE Jukebox after installation – step-by-step tutorial.
BUY Wode Jukebox Today from TechSick – Click Here
To start we need to check 2 important settings to make sure that the Wii console and WODE Jukebox are updated to the latest firmwares. (Otherwise WODE Menu is different depending on versions)
- Check the Wii System Menu Version otherwise known as Wii Firmware Version.
It is a simple 2 step process which takes about 10 seconds.
Here is a link to our tutorial (CLICK HERE – for How to check and find your Wii System Menu Version or Firmware Version)
*PLEASE NOTE: If your Wii System Menu version is less than 4.0 we recommend updating your Wii, so it will play the latest games. Also note that 4.2 prevents playing games from other regions. (Tutorial for how to Update your Wii console, using the Internet or game discs coming soon) - Check the WODE Jukebox Firmware version.
This can be done easily and also takes about 10 seconds.
In the main WODE Menu use the joystick to toggle DOWN to [About] then toggle RIGHT and you will see something like this:
WODE Jukebox Main Menu

WODE Main Menu select About

WODE About - Shows WODE Version
***READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY***
* If your WODE Version firmware is less than 1.28 (eg. 1.10) then you need to update first to 1.28 (Download Here – WODE UPDATE 1.28) then to 2.1A
* If your WODE Version firmware is greater than 1.28 but less than 2.1A (eg. 2.0) then update to 2.1A (Download Here – WODE UPDATE 2.1A)

WODE Settings
Now that the Wii is 4.0 or above and the WODE Jukebox is 2.1A the next step is to check the WODE’s settings.
To get here from the main WODE Menu use the joystick to toggle down to [Settings] and click right.

WODE Main Menu select Settings
There are 3 main settings (and the [Save] function):
- Wii Region
- Game Patching
- Wode Settings
- Save

WODE Settings Main Menu
Wii Region is to setup your WODE to your consoles country region.
eg.: [Wii Region EUR] for Australia which is a European PAL region, KOR for Korea, JAP for Japan NTSC-J, US for USA NTSC.
Game Patching is used to patch games to your WODE’s Region setting and to patch whether or not Updates are loaded from Back-up discs and Back-up ISO’s. *Please Note: This does not affect how games are ripped/copied on to your USB Hard Drive using the WODE.

WODE Settings select Game Patching

WODE Game Patching options
In general we use the following settings:
- [Region Patch OFF]
*PLEASE NOTE: If you need to load DVD’s(excluding consoles with D3v2 & D4 drives) and ISO’s from other regions change this to [Region Patch ON]
- [Updates NO]
*PLEASE NOTE: If you need to update your console to play a certain game change to [Updates YES] then back to [Updates NO] once the console has been updated.
Wode Settings are used to set how/what the WODE loads and displays when it is initiated and in use.

WODE Settings sub Menu
In general we use the following settings:
- [Auto Load OFF]
- [Display Title ID]
- [Free Space OFF]

WODE Settings submenu Settings
***READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY***
Last but most important is to save all the changes you have just made. To do this go back to the Settings menu go down to [SAVE] and click right to save your settings.

WODE Settings select Save
You will see a screen which says “Settings Updated OK”.
**PLEASE NOTE: If you don’t do this last step none of your settings will NOT be saved**

WODE Settings Saved and Updated
