Well I've also bypassed the firmware checker with just a code, ISO, CFW and 1 hour of my time. Last I heard smokin and them were not going to release anything.
I could further this with by buying a purchase ticket on PSN or buying the UMD game but why when they have it and I'm not to interested in it that much. I just wanted to see if it could be done without a prx and a ISO, and NO I'm not release anything either but here is the vid of me cracking it and useing the code.
