PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Lakerfanalways]

According to an unofficial FAQ,

Certain games like FIFA 10 do NOT work.

Yeah the most important question is WHY do some of these games not work..once we know the reason we can better understand if this thing is worth getting, especially for 130 bucks

When I get mine, I am going to get it from modchipcentral.com since that site is legit..My concerns involve the games that dont seem to work..its like playing a guessing game, some games work and some games dont, that is a huge gamble to play for 130 bucks..so I dont know if the issues with the games NOT working, such as having black screens or just not working at all have to deal with the files not being put on the internal drive or is something else going on..if its as simple is the games HAVE to all be put on the internal drive to work fine, I will go out and get me a HUGE internal drive..but if its something more complicated then that I want to know beforehand so I dont cough up 130 bucks which turns into a huge waste of money

They said all 150 games they tested worked. Whether or not that means on an internal or external hdd I don't know. That's one of the many questions I want answered before I go out and buy this. Like I said before, this is untested, and we won't know a lot of details until it finally hits the market. Hopefully GBAtemp can get their hands on a review sample...

God damnit I was trying to see how long I could not post in this thread. Can't last any longer.

So the freaking holy grail for the ps3 has finally arrived?

Why is it that there isn't an actual solid real picture of this thing after 1000+ replies on this thread?????? Or did I indeed miss it in the 1000+ posts? Someone help me out. Thanks.

If you go to the main page of GBAtemp and click on the link in the news section, there's all these pictures here plus about 5 videos on the thing. I'm hoping this isn't a short-lived hack that gets patched tomorrow. The PS3 is the only system in my collection that I have no more control over than the developer intended. I'm hoping this will change that!

Oh thanks guys. I see I missed those shots

Little big planet, game of the year edition does not work either

 

[Maz7006]

can compatibility be fixed or is this a dumping/reading issue?

as in is it the dongles fault or maybe something went wrong in the dumping process. I guess it hard to tell at this pt though i suppose.

Hmm did you test it yourself?

 

[OzModChips]

Yes i tried it myself - we are the ones that broke the ps3 news

If you back it up on external it says "please insert disc"

if you back it up internal, it freezes

The developers say its not to do with the dongle, the hardware does it stuff
its either that the backup manager has a small bug. Or possibly that the game just needs to be "patched".

Why does that even matter, it's not like someone is going to lie about a game working or not, what would they have to gain?

 

[petspaps]

Get a list going. Keep control of it, cause cbf searching 70 pages

 

[Fluto]

can't u just make one?

 

[Aman27deep]

Can we have a list or something how big certain popular PS3 games are?

It harms to ask eh?

Can games that have been ripped to a USB drive be played on a different PS3 with PS Jailbreak ?

 

[delta123]

i do not mind spending the 170AUD on the thing. thats less than two new games in australia. this thing does not really pay for itself but it sort of does at the same time. especailly if you use the free rental system that is EBGames.

Does EB Games in Australia do free rentals for PS3 games?!?!?

I've never heard about this... is it available in every EB Games, or only specific ones?

Are there details on the EB Games website?

HAHAHA!!!

NO! They don't do free rentals but they DO have a 7 money day back guarantee. So you could essentially "buy" a new game for say $100 and bring it home, open up the packaging, play it, rip it, burn it etc etc and return it within 7 days of purchase and receive a full refund.

they wont take back an opened game, they only thing they do is exchange it if the original product is defective

your thinking of used games

I've done it many many many times. EB are so dodgy that they sell you a "new" game that has no shrink wrapping on it. How would that work if you returned the game without playing it? How would they know. And yes I have bought a "new" game from EB that didn't have any shrink wrapping/plastic cover.

Edit: Next time you buy a product from EB, read the back of the receipt.

I used to work at eb games until i accidently gave a customer a $130 discount on a 120gig ps3. the store gave out 7 day return on every game. including pc. we just send the pc back as defectives because we know that the cd key has been used.
