PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[iNFiNiTY]

If this uses illegal code, then I am sure the "community" could have hacked this a long time ago. The trick is to use code that is not owned by Sony.

I don't think anyone would want to get sued by Sony for releasing their code.

If the units are shipped from Hong Kong, there really isn't a damn thing they could do.

Hong Kong isn't some completely lawless place, and it's not like we're talking the grey area of legality like flashcards. If it's real its almost certainly a clone of internal Sony hardware and has the debug FW on it which is blatantly illegal.

But this has not been confirmed yet either. No one has said exactly WHAT is on the dongle, or what hardware the dongle contains.

And also, where do you think all of the flash carts come from? Factories in Hong Kong. Flashcarts that work on the DSi are illegal also because they contain Nintendo code to run. (Danny Phantom logo) So, I repeat my message. If one factory or retailer gets shut down from Hong Kong, another will just pop right back up like clockwork.

If it turns a system into a debug unit it really can be nothing else. Not like you can just build your own jig device from scratch without using Sony code/hardware for it.

I don't imagine anyone will, at least not until it's officially released, if that even comes to pass. The totally illegal code part kinda hinders that process a bit, I think. It's what..supposedly 8 days or so until release? Things like this are usually torn apart day one.

The software being distributed on their site was compiled using Sony's leaked SDK.

There are more 360's in this world for the simple fact that it is hackable, if this news is true, which it most likely is, the ps3 will sell more than 5 million consoles during Q4 of 2010 (Financial Q3).

 

[maxim380]

Since the dongle boots the ps3 into debug mode, and you need to install a pkg file to start the backup launcher (the download from theire site), so does that mean you can finally install PSN pkg files again?

The additional 360s sold due to the availability of modchips is not any relevant number.

If you think 5 million PS3s will sell the quarter it can play backups, you obviously have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Deathwing Zero]

I don't think so, from what I understand, the PS Store has to verify the download from your console, and "activate" the pkg.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Well whether or not this will be patched permanently is not the important thing here. Whats important s this is the gateway to start to poke around in the software to find bugs and holes.

I imagine there will be more exploits emerging from this one.

He did indeed. It seems places are still offline, though PS-X Scene says they're completing the server move (I didn't know 12 cores were corporately available yet!)..

And yet another off topic: Yay for Laharl

Monopoly sounds pretty accurate to me.. did they give you an expected date of August 27th too or was that some BS I read on another site?

Edit: To avoid spam.. here's the link where I found 8/27/10 release date..
