PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[D-Trogh]

At this time it would probably be wise NOT to waste your money on this expensive PSJailBreak USB device, as a FREE PS3 scene solution is bound to surface.

Nuff' said.

 

[Gilberd]

don't be too hasty to buy this yet there are people that are studying this device and are trying to come up with a free solution according to ps3 news

 

[agimann]

@gilberb i read that aswell, but i`ll go looking for a ps3 to buy someplace cheap, used or new.

 

[PrinceNOOB]

I cant wait for this to be released!

 

[CJL18]

i give it 2-3days sony will update the firmware making this product useless i

hmmm. Im not even close to being convinced.

The only actually interesting part (IMO) is the USB dongle. From my reading, it allows the PS3 to boot in debug mode, and run any unsigned code you like. The "Backup Manager" is simply a tool made with leaked, illegal official SDK to rip discs and configure the BD emulator built into the debug mode of the PS3 firmware. Meh.

If an unofficial, homebrew SDK is made and released, and the USB device is reverse engineered and cheap clones appear (which I reckon will happen, and within 6 months of the PSJailbreak's release I reckon you'll be able to buy an equivalent device for ~$20 max), then this is a cool advancement in the PS3 scene.

As I said before, Sony's ability to patch this depends on how THEY coded the detection of the "debug device" in their firmware. They may also be unable to patch it, as that'd mean that all their own official debug devices would no longer function in newer firmwares. e.g. Nintendo never patched SaveMii, because they need it internally.

hmmm. Im not even close to being convinced.

Well, it is confirmed to be real, and I completely disagree with you. I am pretty sure its real, as all evidence points towards it being so.

 

[Yoshimashin]

Why did they use the term "jailbreak"? I hate that term.

 

[jalaneme]

I prefer to keep my PS3 unmodded, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to Sony.

fuck sony, don't lick their asses they have had enough worship from everyone, this IS IT if it's true! i am so happy the ps3 is hack, sony deserve everything they get for treating us gamers like crap!

when they add cheat support and hack trophies i am so into this, for now i will watch, lets just hope you can go online using this too, but knowing sony they are likely to try to ban consoles, let them try a lawsuit will be 1 step ahead of them, just like the 12 lawsuits for the other OS removal!

 

[CJL18]

lol and nintendo says the 3DS will be unhackable :0

 

[jalaneme]

Aww... Those online cheaters better not get even near the ps3. I don't play on the ps3 to have hackers and cheaters like the Wii on online.

STFU! bloody wingers

I hate myself now

Few months back i couldve picked a PS3 as a prize but I needed a microwave so I got that and some towels thinking "Meh ,... PS3 games are expensive, and its not like theyre actually going to hack it anytime soon" Im just about to microware my own head -_-

yes i think so....ouch. XD.

This is what I was wondering as well. If it does turn the PS3 into a true debug unit, then Sony has quite the mess on its hands (potentially).

I will wait a few months on the fence and watch what happens. I will see how Sony handles this, and how this device handles the inevitable firmware assault. Cause that's a hefty chunk of change that could be rendered useless in a week.

If it puts the PS3 in debug mode, then Sony will just remove debug mode. Simple.

i don't think sony would have left "Debug" mode on the ps3 without reason, my best guess would be that sony uses debug for repairs and that removing it would make their job a pain in the ass.

 

[Ashler]

Wondering if this could lead to a CFW somewhere along the line as happens with the PSP so that we do not have to update to another oficial FW again.

well time to play the waiting game..Not gonna cough up money for this yet :0

that would be pretty cool though

lets say they remove it, you send in your PS3 for a "repair" they cnt fix it

you get sent a new one

... profit.

What If the game developers just added a bunch of garbage data to the end of some of the important files, causing them to be over 4 GB, which means you couldn't use that game

Sorry if this was already asked

also, wow 172 users reading this

Debug PS3s are special PS3s which are given to developers to test their games. Thus, to ease their work, it has functions like a BD emulator (to avoid burning copies every now and then to test builds) and the ability to run unsigned code (so they can test a piece of code without getting it signed every time).

Their Backup Manager is using the ability to run unsigned code in debug mode to do all of this.

And this USB Dongle should be able (as to what they claim) to turn every PS3 out there into a Debug unit temporarily.

Holy shit, unsigned code FTW

Q. Does PS JailBreak allow every game to work?

A. Apparently 150 games have been tested, and they all work. If a game happens to have 1 file over 4gb the program will not be able to rip the game onto the harddrive. Apparently the worl around is to dump it on an internal hardrive

So I guess you have to rip it on your internal drive, instead of a external?

When one of YOU has a working item and has actually used it, let me know. Till then this is a non event in my books.
