PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

Crap I don't want to pay over $100 for a flashdrive!

It's NOT a flash drive.

Now it seems that there is another one called ps3key .

All they want is your e-mail address so they can spam the fuck out of it

Which is a good thing. Without competition, the PSJailbreak will always be $150, which is a huge ripoff. Like I've said before, these can't cost much to make, so selling them for $20 or so seems more than fair. You'll never get these for free, though, so you can put that out of your head. It's the same reason flashcarts aren't free; they costs money to make. These aren't normal USB sticks, like a lot of you think they are, so they have to be specially made, meaning you'll always have to pay. I'm waiting for a good, cheap clone that functions just as well as PSjailbreak. Even with all the fakes coming out right now, soon enough there will be something legit that'll cost way less. I won't be buying one until that happens.

their prob selling them that high so they can make enough $ to pay off sony when they finally sue them

Lol
but really how long till we get other people cracking some stuff perhaps ill wait for someone to find an exploit with one of these devices instead of all that waiting for clones mess

x3Jailbreak or whatever, somebody examined the board they posted a picture of and found it's just a normal flash drive, so the picture they posted of it is fake...

Given that they mention that this only works for ps3 games, it leads me to believe that basically it's just that someone figured out a way to take a regular ps3 and run it in debug mode, which already allows running of unsigned code.

This doesn't really benefit me persay, because I'd want something that would also let me play backup PS1 and PS2 games too (I have a BC model), so i can finally retire my chipped PS2. At least, that is what it sounds like to me.

If this thing does indeed allow me to play my burned PS1/2 games as well as PS3 games, sign me the hell up.

Since this has effectively opened the PS3 up to homebrew, PS1 will almost certainly happen eventually, whether or not that means playing games off burned disks or just ISO files I don't know. PS2 is a little more of a challenge, so I wouldn't get your hopes up for that. Sony removed it from the newer PS3's, and they made it sound like they took out the hardware needed to do it (correct me if I'm wrong.) This isn't saying it can't be done, just that if it'll be done it'll take awhile...

If you can emulate a ps2 on a pc, I don't see why it can't be done on a ps3.

People have already posted screenshots of what the PS3 shows in dev mode with the dongle inserted.

QUOTE(pubert09 @ Aug 24 2010, 12:20 AM) If you can emulate a ps2 on a pc, I don't see why it can't be done on a ps3.

Emulation of the PS2 on a PC requires higher specs than the PS3 has, and even then it's not perfect... many games fail to run at all, and most run less-than-perfect on anything but the higher-end systems.

Yes yes, the PS3 was supposed to have this amazing cell processor with many cores... but that was almost four years ago, and more cores don't directly help with emulation speed in the first place.

Nevermind the fact that a program has to be multi-threaded at it's core, and programming for the cell processor is said to be a chore, adding more workload to the already-hard task of porting a high-spec emulator to a different architecture and raising it's thread usage.

I don´t think so. I typed in my e-mail adress, and it says its invalid

Doesn't mean they haven't captured it. Probably comes up as invalid so you try another one that they can harvest.

Happy that it was just my gmail account that i never use

Ok. Is there a compatibility list? I mean ps3 exclusives like Killzone and heavy rain.

I'm not exactly talking about emulating a PS2 on a new PS3.

I have a ps3 model with BC. I just want to be able to play my burned copies of PS1 and PS2 games, on my PS3 (too). As it currently is, this PS3Jailbreak doesn't fulfill what I would need from a ps3 "modchip". Ideally without having to swap discs like that initial bit to bypass the bluray drive's ability to sense when a disc was ejected or not.

If you put the game on the hdd do you still need to do the installation for the game?

It's emulating the blu-ray, so yes.
