PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Lakerfanalways]

It looks like this device still has a lot of issues to be resolved before it can be released to the public. I am sure not buying something that will only work for a few games and the rest dont work..that would be a total waste of money..They have to make sure that all of the games work before they release anything or else there are going to be a lot of really pissed off people who spent a lot of money for something that doesnt work. The games that are saved on an internal drive(Which is what I am planning on buying) they dont open at all, something is wrong..I dont mind if the release is delayed just fix whatever the problem is

For those desperate to build their own, as a starting point, the dongle uses an Atmel ATMEGA 32U4 microcontroller. Good luck (lol)

What are you talking about? You can read games from both an external and an internal drive. The only problem is that you can't read games that have flies bigger than 4gb in a external one.

And that is why I have to get an internal one..otherwise the 4 gig files will not read..am I understanding this right

Anyone who knows anything know these solutions aren't perfect on first release.

They don't have to make sure anything. I'm sure they'll be thinking of pissed off people all the way to the bank.

I'm pretty sure that once cloned, the community will support the updating of the dongle software as much as they can just like the Acekard and I'm sure there will be official support for a time.

Anywhere from 0-100%

Seriously...how would anyone know this?

 

[Justin121994]

@girugamar..Yeah... They'll prob blacklist psn id's...Don't matter to people who don't use online anyway.

 

[Hasney]

From PSN? No-one knows but I'd probably say high, either with Sony actually banning people or artificially by "fixing" the dongle with a new firmware.

 

[t_jay17]

I found this

A nice little twitter update from Mathieulh has arrived and it looks like progress towards having a workable copy of the PSjailbreak dongle is accelerating rapidly. "The exact chip for the psjailbreak dongle has been identified, looks like dumping it will be easy.".

Ok stupid question..but since I am going to be purchasing an internal drive, I went on Sony's web site and installed the latest 3.41 firmware that is on their site(I had read that they fixed an issue regarding the upgradable drives not working) so I just want to make sure that the firmware that I installed will NOT affect the jailbreak at all..someone posted on the psx-scene about how Sony can patch firmware without you knowing it which got me nervous

Did you not read anything? Its optimized for 3.41. Do not update past that.

 

[girugamarc]

It works on the newest firmware.

Of course I know that..but I was reading how Sony made a fix after the original 3.41 update to fix some issue with upgrading internal hard drives so I did it last night..now it says on my PS3 that I Have NO updates

 

[Lakerfanalways]

Modchipcentral wrote me an email(Since I have been asking some questions about their jailbreak) and they wrote me back telling me that Madden NFL 2011 works

 

[Rydian]

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.That damn quote block limit always gets in my way so I split things after a few quotes by habit on this forum now.

So, ShopTemp doesn't accept PayPal eh?

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

I don't have a shoptemp account, that doesn't show up when you try to purchase as a guest, and I remember when shoptemp first came out people complaining about the lack of paypal, so I said what I saw.

The games that don't work could be fixed with an update to the backup program.
The DSTwo shipped at a separate time than it's firmware, after all.




And for those of you complaining about external harddrives not working with NTFS, just get an internal one! The PS3 will accept any laptop (2.5") SATA harddrive, which is what's in most external drives in the first place so it'll actually be cheaper. And it frees up a uSB port, too...

madden 11 works , that is good,

Some guy on NeoGAF claims to know how the Sony jig works. According to him, all Sony have to do to block this is change the keys in the official USB for devs, modify the boot sequence in the next firmware and they're done.

Take it with a grain of salt, but if true, this easily blocked out if you care about updating.

For those of us who don't care, the ability to run unsigned code will probably allow patched games in the future when newer fw's happen, but that's just more speculation.

Good points sir, but do you think sony will let this jailbreak circulate for a while before making a new update? Is the prospect of selling more systems because of this device a positive thing for sony or do they care more about protecting the 3rd party dev interests?

Not particularly. If it came out that they did that on purpose, their licensed developers would string them up.

However, it may take a while since Sony will have to get it right if they're modifying the boot in any way. They would be foolish to rush that out buggy.
