Takeing a look a the old RFOM swap trick!

Hey guys,

yesterday I had a bit of time to test some stuff. Maybe you remember the RFOM and F1 swap trick.

RFOM :
- Start the game
- Start Singleplayer
- When you in, press start eject your BR-D and insert a new one
- Wait some sec, and press exit
- The game you insert will now start

So do you ever wonder why? To be true it’s really easy. When you enter the Singleplayer game, the PS3 will close the EBOOT.BIN and start game.self. When you now exit the game, the .self will open the EBOOT.BIN again.

In the F1 game it is near the same. If you enter the online mode, the Ps3 will close EBOOT.BIN and will start ONLINE.BIN.

If you have the first update of RFOM on your Ps3, the swap trick will not work anymore. Now you ask why? All guys thought they might fixed this bug, but NO. It has nothing to do with it. Most updates are EBOOT.BIN files, so if you update the game, the EBOOT.BIN from the disc will start the boot.bin which exists on your HDD. Now when you start a singleplayer game, the boot.bin from HDD will start the game.self on the BD-R. When you exit, it will now start the boot.bin on hdd again. So you are not able to swap it ;)

Well at all this is not very useful right now, but I thought maybe some guys wonder how the swap trick works ;)

Have a nice weekend
