Little is known and this has yet to be confirmed, but if the R4i gold team is to believed they've managed to make their R4i flashcart work on the 3DS as can be seen in the video above. These team members are not associated with the R4i gold team who donated R4i Gold cards to the Tempmas contest, an important distinction.

3.55 GeoHot Custom Firmware supports Castlevania PS3 Backup now
riku.kh3 ，the person that has shared the first Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (BLES01047) signed and packed EBOOT that works with the recently released GeoHot 3.55 PS3 Custom Firmware followed by 3D Dot Game Heroes.
Here is the quoted from PSGroove: He has sucessfully ran Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from his internal hard drive, while on Geohot's 3.55 Custom Firmware. He achieved this by patching the game's main executable file (EBOOT.BIN) and making the PS3 think it's a PSN game.

1) Install PKG file.
2) Transfer contents of USRDIR folder, PS3 break EXCEPT EBOOT.BIN, to /devhdd0/game/BLES01047/USRDIR/
Thats all! Tested! The game will work from XMB on retail nonJB 3.41, 3.55 and future versions.
Now ,following the steps to patch your games:
1) Download and compile latest tools from git.fail0verflow.com Git (old versions of unself produce incorrect ELF)
2) Extract ELF from SELF
3) Hexedit ELF, find and replace dev_bdvd to correct path on dev_hdd0 (not all, but most games require this step)
4) Build NPDRM SELF using Geohot's tools
5) Build package using psn_package_npdrm
6) Patch your builded package using Geohot's tool (only for 3.55 firmware)
That's it. If you can't follow this guide, a more detailed guide won't help you.
This also works from 3.41, with no jailbreak dongle.Like:PS jailbreak, USB jailbreakor any other PS3 break items.

PSP / PS3 PKG Decrypter and Extractor v.1.0 is Released
Today Mathieulh has released a PSP / PS3 PKG Decrypter and Extractor v.1.0.0.0 for decrypting and extracting PlayStation 3 , PlayStation Portable and mixed game package files via PC.
Here is quoted from the ReadMe/Twitter:
btw if you don't want to mess with the whole packages algo stuff, just use AES CTR with the package key iv at 0x70 in the package. Sorry I forgot to include the readme in the fixed release, this is now fixed as well. btw that hmac key was fail, don't use it, another is actually used.
It's not really signed, just encrypted with AES and HMAC.PS jailbreak woops I forgot to enable the button when I cleaned up the app (yeah I fail, gonna do a small re-release xD) btw I forgot to mention in the readme this is not the 1:1 algorithm, it's been improved, it extracts pkgs roughly 3 times as fast as on ps3.
What does this do ?
This will decrypt and extract Playstation 3, Playstation Portable and mixed GAME PACKAGES (NOT UPDATER ONES !) onto your pc.
How do I use it ?
Just open the package you want to extract or drag and drop it and click on "Extract package"
Can I run this on Linux ?
Sorry this app is windows only, however full sources have been supplied along with it so feel free to make a Linux port out of it, you have my blessing.
Can This encrypt/sign my game packages ?
NO, when this application was written, the main concern was about packages decryption, so that part was kinda skipped, however it is trivial to do the reverse operation, remember, sources are supplied.
Here is the little story, this little app was done since litterally AGES , distributed to a very small amount of people, and was conveniently designed and used to decrypt packages and repack them on our debug consoles so we wouldn't have to QA flag them to update our games or install games we purchased from the ps store.
The algorithm was a bit of a pain to reverse but the keys could be easily grabbed with a lv2 exploit. So here we are, this app was done but the problem is it couldn't be leaked because I and PS3 break a few other people who were entrusted with it, were kinda afraid that sony would change the keys and fix whatever exploits we had (turned out they didn't) but since we can now get whatever
new keys they add/change this has become a quite irrelevant concern. The next concern was piracy.
There was nothing at the time justifying a release for that application, most people would just not have a legit use for it so releasing was out of the question.
So what changed our minds ? Well, ccc happened, and Segher (props to him !) figured how to conveniently calculate private keys and suddenly a legit use appeared, as people would/might need to encrypt their packages to install their own signed apps onto their consoles. This is not a 1:1 algorithm port as it's been improved, thus the decryption happens 3 times as fast as on playstation 3
So , in the new year,a hot PS3 item--PS3 Game HDD will bring you much more fun.

PS3 V3.55 downgrade now
This is a big news to PS3 funs, especially to the guys who have a 3.55 system PS3, nearly a week ago , it is reported that PS3 downgrade is available from 3.55 to 3.41 Firmware, and now , it became true, some guys have confirmed that PS3 3.55 to 3.41 Firmware Downgrader arrived today courtesy of solidpsycho through a guide from AmazingLarry.
You can download files here : Lv2diag_355 / PS3 3.55 Downgrade (3.41) / PS3 3.55 Downgrade (3.41) (Mirror)
Here is the quote from them : Here is a patched 3.41 that allows you to downgrade. I patched the info0 to 356, and I also used Warrens method to bypass the br drive during the update. I have tested this on both of my PS3's and haven't run into any problems.
3.55 Downgrade has been confirmed on both FAT and SLIM consoles.
Please note you CANNOT use these files if you bought a PS3 that came stock with FW 3.50. DO NOT DO IT. STOP NOW.
THE SAME WARNINGS AND RULES APPLY:
You may want to download geo's 3.55-jb and install that and blackb0x ftp if you have not, it will be very useful for the next bit.
Blackb0x FTP server 1.2: Blackb0xFTP for 3.55 FW
If you have a fat PS3 with 256MB NAND you will need to back up your dev_flash folders, as you WILL LOSE BLURAY PLAYBACK. (on my FAT model i restored the DRL1 and DRL2 files in del_flash(2?) I did get to however keep all of my signed 3.55-jb homebrew, and it all works in retail mode except of course backup managers)
If you have a Small NAND SLIM or FAT console it would be a good idea to do one or both of the following:
In the XMB perform a system backup to save installed Homebrew you may have and gamesaves etc.. to an external device (i did this with my slim and it worked perfectly, all my installed signed homebrew from 3.55-jb works in retail 3.41 now)
-or-
make a COMPLETE backup of your HDD on your ps3 using ftp, although i dont think installed packages can be moved back over simply by ftp. i only tested the first method.
And now to downgrade:
You will need a downgrader dongle, search the forums for a DIY or buy one, or get an android/iphone, or an ipod nano, etc...
1) Unplug or switch off your console and then switch back on or plug back in.
2) While still OFF connect your Jailbreak/Downgrade device and press POWER then quickly Eject, you PS3 console should turn itself off automatically
3) OPTIONAL - Turn your PS3 on to verify you are in Service Mode (you will see a big red box, you can't miss it) then turn your PS3 back OFF
4) Place the lv2diag.self (FILE 1) from the archive and the PS3UPDAT.PUP (3.41 FW) from the archive on the root of a usb device and plug into the rightmost port on your console (dev_usb0)
5) Power on your PS3 with the usb device in and have a coffee, it can take a few moments for the PUP to install, your PS3 will turn off automatically
NOTE: if your system seems unresponsive and the light just stays green for ten minutes or more you need to use a different usb stick. i've had sporadic results with several different sticks.
6) Power your ps3 back on, you should still be in service mode, check your FW version now to verify you have downgraded successfully. Turn Off
7) Remove previous archive files from usb stick and now place lv2diag.self (FILE 2) on the root of your usb stick
8) Place usb stick in rightmost port of your PS3 (dev_usb0)
9) Turn PS3 back on with usb in place, it should turn itself off very shortly after.
10) Turn your PS3 back on and go through the configuration again.
