Hacking [OLD!] PS3 "jailbreak" F.A.Q.

[girugamarc]

Let's hope so. I'm sure it would be able to emulate anything up to the PS1. Including the PSP and DS. I'm not familiar with the PS3's specs so I'm just talking nonsense, but I hope I'm right because it would be awesome if it happens.

 

[Rydian]

Yes, emulators are a subset of homebrew.

DS for sure, PSP I'm not so sure on.

The PSFreedom has now been ported to the Palm Pre as well. (link below since I forgot to do so last time ^o^)

Please add this to the FAQ section. It's a fork on the N900 code so they're using the same repo for code sharing.

If you're curious the make file now lists the PalmPre, and even more curiously an option to compile for N800's. Not sure if the N800 compile actually works, but it's a curious entry

Just to be clear, only the PalmPre and N900 are confirmed working. The N800 is just a curiosity in the make file for now.

The more things it can run on the better so that more people can access it and hopefully more apps made to run on the ps3.

K, added the info, thanks.

psx-scene has a nice FAQ too, with "dumping time" for example.
if it can be dumped from PC blu-ray,
if loading time is faster from HDD etc.


maybe you could use some of them (but I think we should ask them first before copying their faq ? don't use all of it

)

and if you are not up to date yet, it asks you to update the game, but being in PSJB mode, you can't update at all, so you can't use it.

How can it tell if the game needs updating if you have no internet connection on the PS3? I don't think it can, and the game will be playable.

Also, where is the log and/or eboot data stored? On the hdd or the ps3 itself? If it's stored on the hdd, wouldn't swapping drives be a simple solution for Sony to not detect it?

PSX-scene FAQ has a "update section" too : "For some games, game updates already installed must be uninstalled or the backup will fail to load."
But as you say, just cut the net connexion, and the game will not know if there's an update, but you need to remove the installed one first.

There's also user session on PS3 right ? what with using another player profile ?
Does the log is saved per console or per player on the PSN ?

 

[Rydian]

I'll add some info from their FAQ here, but as for the videos and data tables I'll link to that FAQ.

I love Sony products, I do. The PS3 is no exception, but there's too many risks and run arounds that doing this will only be beneficial if you don't mind scouring the internet for hours on end.

Sony needs to just let people have some good access to homebrew development. This is too shaky for me, I'll just wait for some easier way. Until then I'll keep an eye on it.

Btw, odd question here but does anyone know why there aren't any AR codes available for the PS3?

I believe its some sort of copy protection. Plus there are trophy now. haha and sony may just block the cheat with a update?
I think old system copy protection was the disk being burned in a certain way. Burned in a way a normal PC burner could and had to be pressed at a factory

Yep, that makes sense. Would be nice to have unlimited HP/SP when it comes to RPGs though. I wish I had that kind of time to grind for hours on end.

Blah add yet another weird platform to the list of Jailbreak compatible devices

Those of you with a Dingoo can also join in the fun!

[Schizoanalysis]

Thanks for the Dingoo link

"PSFreedom Dingoo" is a port of PSFreedom, created by KaKaRoTo, to the Dingoo A320 console (JZ4740 chipset). The zImage file included in the package allows you to boot a modified version of Dingux that makes the console to behave like the PSJailbreak device.

Does anyone know which chipset the Shoptemp Dingoo A320 is(was)?

I think it is the HK one, but the Shoptemp Dingoo A320 is(was) certainly pawed.

what does the way a disc is burned or pressed have to do with cheat codes? yes you are right, the reason there is no cheats on the ps3 is because of online and trophies unfortunately, hopefully this jailbreak should change that

i am patient to wait...

yeah i know what you mean, would love to have fun in final fantasy XIII

 

[Rydian]

They mean that a third-party (it's never an official Sony partner that makes these cheat devices) wouldn't be able to get their cheat disc to boot.

I agree with pinning this, I was actually going to sticky this the other day but my activity has been rather sporadic on the forum the last two weeks so I forgot about it.
