Creating activation files or having the ability to back up our own is going to be important too.

The activation file is useless if you don't have the CMOS battery still going or the ability to update the clock via system settings since your games will just deactivate on their own without that date/time check. You need the clock server up to keep games working without a CMOS battery.

I figure in the future if any of our hard drives fail or we want to upgrade hd's this will be vital information in order to preserve our content on this system and allowing us the ability to set them back up regardless of PSN status or CMOS battery status.Ĭlick to expand.The thing is that they are all connected. If anyone knows about this in further detail, i'd love to have some light shed on it. Then they work again.įurther Testing: I also would like to do further testing of what exactly needs to be saved in order to have proper activation ability once we can no longer activate a system using PSN. Update 1: After leaving the console unplugged (with CMOS battery out) for a few hours, I came back home, plugged in the console, booted and it did require me to set the clock manually, however games were broken (un-activated) until you set date/time via internet. I will post an update to this with my results when I know more. So as of now, i'm going to give it a couple of days, maybe even completely unplug this console while leaving the CMOS battery removed, and plug it back in in a week or so and see if that one digital date/time handshake is still sufficient to keep my games working or if they will need another handshake. Other thing i'm wondering, has anyone legitimately confirmed that the date/time server is in fact going down? I'm wondering if pulling the battery and doing a 1 time date/time handshake (before servers go down) may just be the answer to keeping my content running as it should or if the CMOS battery is indeed needed. To my surprise they did actually continue to work fine upon rebooting back up with just the one digital date/time handshake being made prior to me shutting down the console (and unplugged).
I then decided to both turn off the console and unplug / re-plug it back in to see if they would still work after being powered down completely.
It did in fact fix them after updating the date and time via internet. Interesting Find: I then decided (since the psn store is still up) to set the date and time via internet to see if that would fix the games (leaving the CMOS battery removed). The demo that was unlocked with PSNPatch also continued to work just fine, however the games that were unlocked using RAP files (via PSNPatch) were now "unlocked". The game that was unlocked using the "fix install" method, also stayed working fine. Results: Disc games operate fine without the CMOS battery. I then turned off the system and popped out my CMOS battery and booted back up to begin testing. I first tested all of the games to make sure they were fully unlocked and working appropriately. The others I installed using PKG files then activating in PSNPatch using RAPS. I installed one with the "old school" method of using an "install file" and a "fix file".

I installed a few of them as demo's using PSN patch to "activate demo".

I then installed several games (that I ALREADY OWN) using several different methods of unlocking them just to see exactly how the CMOS battery affects each type of install method.
I setup a brand new PSN account to test with. Method of Installs: First off, this console was a brand new install for CFW on a fully restored system, just to make sure I was starting from scratch. I do plan to do a slightly longer term testing just to see how this date/time update scenario plays out when leaving the CMOS battery out of the console. I've found some pretty interesting results so far. Summary: So I decided to do some testing on my side on one of my spare slims, just to remove all the guesswork, myth's, and youtube hype surrounding what will occur once the internal CMOS battery on a JB ps3 dies out and how that will affect games that I own.
