PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[MrDiesel]

LOL What do you mean "could"? Of course you would get banned, hell who knows what else would happen.

I said "could", 'cause I wasn't sure, you know

I dunno if this has been asked, but do PSN games work too?

No reports yet, but seeing as it has a .pkg installer and can run unsigned code, shouldn't be too long I would suspect.

May be a couple of hurdles that delay it though.

The thing is, why pay 140$ for this. A method for making your own device with a blank usb stick is obviously possible and coming.

What has made you believe this is possible with a standard blank USB stick?

Everyone's saying internal drive is better because it can play games with files over 4 GB but is there a way to copy a game from an external HDD to the internal ?



Come on we all know only 5% of the people using this will dump from Blurays

Not at the moment. The current backup loader only copies from blu-rays and mounts games from Internal or External HD's.

It would require someone to code some software to allow that to happen, although the loader would still only support FAT32 at that point so the 4gb file limit on the drive would still be an issue.

Actually right now, 100% of people will be dumping from blurays. That is the only way it can be done at the present time.

There's a few releases floating around usenet that are compatible with PSJailbreak, you don't necessarily need to dump the games yourself, but it supports the cause etc, you know.

Have you missed the discussion where people have confirmed downloading games that have been ripped with the backup loader as working?

Right, but he's asking to copy games from an external hard drive to the internal hard drive, which is currently not possible in the software.

This isn't to do with downloading rips from the net and throwing them on an external HD.

Because that's what the thing is. Just a normal USB stick with some software on it.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i'm sure it's something more complicated than that but we'll see

 

[Fluto]

the usb i different to others like a usb bluetooth dongle is different to a normal usb

It's using an Atmel ATMEGA 32U4 MCU, basically a mini-processor. You can learn more about it here: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/7766S.pdf

The USB device is doing more than just storing data.

If Sony doesn't do something to stop this device they can pretty much kiss their developer support goodbye. The same thing happened to PSP and the developers abandoned ship. The system was kept on life support by homebrew, metal gear and monster hunter.

Now the same thing is happening to the PS3, only its much worse this time because PS3 development costs are much higher than they are on other consoles and PC. (For two reasons, difficulty of making PS3 games and cost of the Bluray format.)

Its PSP all over again. Fuck it, this is the PS3 Apocalypse!!!

APOCALYPS3 NAO!

 

[Livin in a box]

Would it not be easy to change the title ID of the PSjb to a game? That way, it would be PSN safe.

this gen is nearly over anyway we'll pirate the fuck out of the ps3 and they can release their next console

While I wouldn't put it past Sony to be that dumb on the software side of things, there surely must be other checks in place.

There is a massive difference here though. The PSP never had a massive install base outside of Japan. Even in Japan, it wasn't until Monster Hunter that things really picked up.

When you look at it, thinking that most developers have enviroments set-up now that makes dual-coding for the 360 and PS3 pretty simple and most PS3 exclusives are published by Sony themselves, even if this device became widespread, I wouldn't think that developers would abandon ship.

that's what i was thinking but i guess it must need that title id to boot
