PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[antwill]

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

Yes considering people have been downloading the rips already and confirmed this.

What you mean you can't open up the ISO and extract the contents?

 

[Bladexdsl]

PS3 games have always been uploaded, just not in masses. People figured the PS3 is gonna be cracked one day or another and they don't want a massive flood of people on the scene uploading games or people crying over the lack of PS3 games online.

It's probably easier to just download smaller games and rent or borrow larger games. 10-ish GB PS3 games aren't a big problem but when you get to the Final Fantasy XIII's and the Metal Gear Solid 4's of the library you won't want to bother with downloading that much data.

The Viking one wasn't. That ones was ripped with the Backup Manager and then uploaded. I guess that the game is for testing if games ripped by the Manager will work on other PS3s with the PS Jailbreak.

 

[Bladexdsl]

someone should test if the ones uploaded b4 JB work

And before anybody mentions "paypal", shoptemp.com doesn't use it.

You've done a lot of flaming there, i'm sure you could have done it all in one post instead of double posting. I imagine Zant is now chargrilled.

So, ShopTemp doesn't accept PayPal eh?

What's that then? Do they need to make the PayPal logo larger for you?

LOL the jailbreak was posted on the EU PS forums and was promptly removed, dam naive mods and fanboys.

Is it actually possible yet for people to develop homebrew with this? It makes the claim that its possible and I see no reason why that wont be true in the future but as far as I can tell there isn't any kind of homebrew SDK available yet.

$150 for piracy doesn't really seem worth it to me especially considering how much bandwidth would be needed to download games or how much money would still need to be spent on renting games to rip them myself. I might as well buy a 360, mod it, use it for cross platform stuff and just buy legit retail versions of PS3 exclusive

But I would definitely consider getting it for homebrew. I've been happily writing Wii homebrew games for a while now and I would love to be able to do the same with my PS3.

 

[connor_walsh]

do as other people say and rent and rip games or borrow your mates games rip them and download smaller games that are around 8-12GB

i wonder how long it takes for sony to ''secure'' the games like they did on the PSP... and lets just hope the USB thingy will work on later firmware's and again not like the psp be like 1 firmware behind so you cant enter the PSN store...kinda wondering if its safe to use ..i mean if you play online games with that thing and withouth being banned...guess time will tell

They had homebrew before with Other OS just no one cared about the crap that was developed.

Although I admittedly never actually tried it (I had incorrectly assumed that I would be able to do it at a later point in time lol) its my understanding that the available OSes all took ages to start up and where just weak experience even once you got them running.

The system was nurfed under OtherOS. You where restricted access to certain hardware. You had to do it all in Linux and I think its safe to say that the available distros probably had a more significant overhead then the XMB and whatever else is usually running in the background (assuming that stuff will still be functional in the hopefully utopian homebrew future) which contributed to the weakened experience.

As stupid as it sounds I think its also worth mentioning that spending cash and waiting for a USB dongle to arrive in the mail is in a lot of ways a lower barrier of entry then needing to backup your data, partition the hard drive, install an OS and then move your save files and other junk back onto your PS3. Plus its a barrier that more people will be willing to deal with if its going to enable piracy at the same time.

If homebrew development becomes possible with this and installing and running that homebrew is as easy to do as it is on Wii then I think the PS3 homebrew scene could easily become as lively and get as much attention as homebrew does on other platforms.
