3.50 disabled many adapters INCLUDING LICENSED PERIPHERALS TOO! (updated!)

...including my Yobo that I used for connecting old PS2 controllers / guitars / etc. I also used it to XIM. Seems in their quest to stop the Jailbreak folks, anyone who uses an unlicensed adapter gets borked since they updated what the USB ports will accept.

I'm not a happy camper.

hopefully they will disable non official PS3 (or sony) headset in next updates...

Too many kids are talking online now...it's wasting my time to mute them all....

u can use ps2 controllers?PSP107

What about mine? Mine is the Geotech which was designed for the PS3 and is much better than the official one if you ask me, i once took it off to charge and forgot i had done, so was trying to speak and wondered why it wasn't working, thats how great it is Here. Probably heard of it or seen it around.

The only stuff which will stop working is third-party crud that wasn't given permission by Sony to be used with the PS3. I it was sold to you in a store, you'll be fine. I commend Sony for being harsh on unlicensed garbage. Piracy is the reason they raise prices, and online hacks are the reason leaderboards don't mean a thing. I miss my LogiTech wireless (I liked the size, heft, etc. of it) but if it means giving douches a way to mess up my price points or online play, I'll gladly give it up. These people who're crying about he mod because they want to innocently "back up" their purchases on the HDD are so full of it their eyes are a deep BROWN.

:lol:

Im using the PS3 Eagle Eye Keyboard & Mouse converter and it works just fine. Im still able to play with a mouse and keyboard. I do have a Xbox 360 controller convter also but i have not yet used it.

If they were using an unlicensed product, it's their own fault. pooyanh

Will this disable the PS2 memory card adaptor?

I just hope sony will ban those eagle eye key board and mouse converters. Thats all.

Third Party Bluetooth headsets are banned too?

That sucks if so.

Edit: Also, does this mean third party guitar controllers (like the Warbeast) don't work anymore? TC's wording is a bit too unclear for me to understand. Is he just talking about the Yobo adapter which he uses to connect his guitar or the guitar adapter itself?

Just tested my Nyko Frontman third party guitar controller and it works.

YOBO doesn't work, to be specific.

OMFG did they disable PS2 controller adapters!!! No more 4 player splitscreen then...gamebreakerz__

No they didn't...they borked over 75% of 3rd party USB devices. Read around the sites. This is a huge issue.

In fact, here's Sony's official statement -- and anytime they say something may "explode or ignite in your hands if it's not Sony approved", I smell BS.

Looks like they even disabled some MadCatz "official" controllers as well.

Just so we're clear, MadCatz pays Sony TONS of money to avoid things specifically like this. Sony has completely borked this. I'm not against stopping the jailbreak jerks, but there actions are like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.

Terrible business practices of late on Sony's part....

Kinda how Microsoft makes you buy only they peripherals?

We all know this is to combat privacy on PS3. Do I agree with Sony recent patches? No I don't but I'm not ignorant to see why it's being done.

Piracy had been killing PC for years and pretty much any gaming hardware. It still exists but the numbers are now what they use to be.

The thing that really hits home is that, in order to be an "officially licensed product" (i.e. MadCatz), you have to pay Sony a big chunk of $$$. The biggest reason is so that they include your product in testing and the sort when they do updates like this.

The fact that Sony, in haste to stop the hacking, screwed their own business partners -- and, in turn, it's customer base -- is a testament to how poor of a job they are currently doing.

And trying to excuse it with a press release about "non-official 3rd party controllers can EXPLODE" reeks of lunacy.

That MadCatz issue is alarming because I have their SF4 TE stick. It better work...

TE Sticks are still working :)EkusuKariba

That's a relief. I was ready to book a flight to Sony HQ with an army of lawyers.
