    Can Debug/Beta games be played on a jailbroken PS3 with PSGroove? Asin, will they boot?

    Nope, well the ones I tried didn't, basically you get a failed Eboot msg.

    It's pretty hit or miss. Some boot, some don't. Kind of like PSJB compatibility. =P

    A lot of game betas use debug syscalls and thus won't run on a retail box

    Is there a physical difference between a retail and Test PS3? If you could load a debug FW on a retail PS3, would that turn it into a perfect debug, or is there more to it than just the FW?

    Debug FW has already been installed on retails, but it doesn't run a thing (well, does run legit retail stuff, IIRC).

    Maybe a debug FW installed on a retail could be made to atually "work like a debug", i.e. run unsigned code and all (AND supplying said debug syscalls) using a PSJB, but someone would need to make a proper payload for that.
