PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

Dammit mods, thats a free discussion forum and that topic was also related to the PS3 Dongle which contains copyrighted data.

There is currently no proof of that. The "backup manager" it allows to run uses copyrighted SDK code, but the actual dongle itself may be completely legal for all we know. matheliuh may have speculated otherwise, but AFAIK, he hasn't seen the device hands-on, so he doesn't know. The dongle may be purely hardware, ala Pandora battery or SaveMii. It simply boots the PS3 in a mode that allows you to run unsigned code. On the other hand, it is of course highly plausible that it DOES contain copyrighted code e.g. the debug firmware (do we know for sure whether the debug mode is just a mode of the regular firmware, or a firmware ripped from a debug console and placed on a USB dongle?)

oh yes yes source... its actually just the backup manager tht works on any device ie. USB
this will take forever to get here but if one has it, money maker

is this needed again after the files are installed? or would u just need the usb?

darn $150 + for a modchip, looks like were getting back to the dark days of 90's modding, n64 flash card anyone? those costs like $200 back in the day.

The Chinese knockoffs will be at a better price point i can pretty much guarantee.

but what of the build quality and reliability? I don't know but if the knockoffs will be sold at a 1/3 of ps jailbreak then I might consider getting one. But hey if it breaks easily then it wouldn't make sense to get the knockoff.

this is all speculative so you don't have to take my word for it, wait until it actually happens.

well.. according on last few years about the service mode dongle that they talk about..

yeah.. you're right.. there's a separate firmware that holds on the dongle.. which generally puts the console in safe mode.. a.k.a. the current firmware you using is in your PS3 is inactive.. which is neet to put your consoles out of the scene for banning while using that device..

i think you can also do firmware downgrades on the service dongle they said.

He doesn't need to prove anything anymore. It's confirmed across the board. Big guys in the PS3 scenes are giving the thumbs up to this, even

So, this is legit.

I just found this info. It was first posted on HackADay.com

PS3 Firmware (v3.42) Update
The next system software update for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system will be released on August 19, 2010 (JST), and will disable the USB ports that are available on all PS3 systems, launched in November 2006. Due to security concerns, Sony Computer Entertainment will remove the functionality through the 3.42 system software update.
In addition, disabling the USB ports will help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system.
Consumers and organizations that currently use the USB ports can choose not to upgrade their PS3 systems, although the following features will no longer be available;
* Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
* Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.42 or later
* Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
* Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.42 or later
Additional information about PS3 firmware updates, including v3.42 (once it becomes available), can be found here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemup...s/ps3/index.htm

+1 how many people have referenced this site, and someone goes right back to say that this is a fake site. say it with me. shoppsjailbreak is a fake site and I will not claim that the PS Jailbreak is invalid in reference to this site.

That's exactly why they couldn't and aren't doing this. It was a joke.

Hmm now that I've thought about it for an hour, I think I'm gonna get one. If it can save me £300+ a year then it's definitely worth £100 and with all my money left over I can buy as many Monster Headphones as I like.

Wait for the clones. Even if they are poor quality, they will definitely drive down the cost of the original.

Would you do that? not bad method wouldn't have to worry about torrents taking forever to download, though its been specifically stated that one need to rip the games directly from the ps3.

I doubt any sane person would actually download a PS3 game, so this is what most people will do to "pirate" games.
