PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[BlackVivi]

Sorry that I posted that link - I thought that it was scam.

Do you think the virus is any dangerous? Like ... scanning IP Adresses? for fun?

I've tried the .exe in a windows xp virtual machine, just for fun... didn't even start at all.

Dunno, I haven't seen what the virus did specifically. I just know it was a Worm.

It's typical of those little scam apps. They SEEM to not run. But you've already got your nice virus somewhere in your PC

On my virtual machine which I just reverted

I would never test something like that on my daily use operating system.

I'm just "worried"... that's the wrong word... I'm just curious if he could use data he collected from this trojan to... don't know... starting a lawsuit?

Oh, most certainly not. Why would he pay crap-loads of money to attorneys for something that it's not even his?

Well, since it was a worm, and not a trojan... In the best case, he's doing it for the lolz. In the worst case, he's selling your pr0nz habits to some surveying sites

Well, enough off-topic for now, 'kay?

Back on-topic, guises!

If this is true, i'm SOOO buying one. But I am sure there is going to be a free solution VERY soon when this is studied. Also, to look at the legal benefit of this device, many PS3 users have been complaining from dying blu ray lasers. I was a victim of that. The original drive design SUCKS, and will eventually fail. None of these drives are being produced, and when they are out, they are out. Sooooo to get to my point, I'd be happy with the games I already have to have them backed up to my hard drives, knowing I can play them with or without a functioning blu ray drive.

YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD A GAME OFF THE INTERNET AND PLAY IT WITH THIS.

Why people can't read what the device does before posting is beyond me.Actually it puts the PS3 into debug mode before you rip the game, so it just might read burnt discs. We'll have to wait for people to get it and write reviews.

Is this really catergorized as a modchip?Yes, it's an external device you plug in via a port that allows you to make and run backups. It's not a storage method.

The USB dongle might be set to physically self-destruct if somebody tampers with it.

No, seriously, they can do that.
"The encryption chip self-destructs if an invasive attack is detected"
The "Enterprise" version of the IronKey even lets you make it self-destruct remotely.

Maybe they just thought it was cool to leak it.

Or maybe they got paid.
If you're going to be selling devices for $100+ each, paying $5,000 to start is peanuts.
If you just got fired and somebody offers you $5,000 for something you used to use at work, hell yeah.


EDIT: And the system they showed the video on was not a dev console.

Update #2: After examining the PSJailBreak Manager .PKG File below, RichDevX determined that it was hardcoded not to boot on Test consoles, and he has now made available a patch for PS3 Debug users who can decrypt the selfs to run PS3 game back-ups with it![/url]

wont you need one to dump in on the Hard drive?

 

[Lakerfanalways]

If this is confirmed to be legit I will definately buy one..I have the PS3(Fat model) but I have the latest firmware..I installed the latest firmware a few weeks ago..so will I still be able to use this jailbreak? I hope the price for this is reasonable

Edit: Ok so I checked my PS3..I have firmware 3.41..does this jailbreak work with that firmware??

Yes, but when its dumped, stop using the drive. Hence saving the laser. Not to mention read time lag is gone as well. It has some serious benefits legal wise. It would cost you 200 just to let sony fix the disc drive. 160 seems like a small price to have gaming reliability.

And yes, it will work in the latest firmware, 3.41, so I have been told.

1st this was posted here than it got sent to homebrew news now it's back here...make up your mind will ya?!

I was happy that the ps3 wasnt hackeable.
I hope Sony can crush this.

LOLWUT seriously don't ruin the fun man.....GTFO

 

[MissingNo._]

Woah... Lots of attention has been generated...
And anyways... About darn time!

 

[Christopher8827]

Devs say the PS3 is already hard to program for. What makes you think that homebrewers can program something useful apart from .iso loaders?

idiot ps3 whore at 11 O clock

 

[Lakerfanalways]

Sorry for asking this question again but can this work for the PS3(Fat model) with firmware 3.41..just want to be sure..hope this thing is legit..I would buy it, but hopefully they dont charge an arm and a leg for it
