PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

well we all knew it's pretty much if you want to use this than you can kiss online goodbye and i doubt that is going to change.

If the update issue can be fixed, i'm sure an app like PSNlover might be ported to the PS3.

I'm sure Sony will adopt the same policy that MS has with their xbox piracy.

I hope not, as the only person I know who has been banned from live was with an unmodded console 'cause amazon sent them MW2 early and all the pirates are fine.

Well here's to hoping that Sony pulls something aggravating to some like they did with the Linux lovers. Perhaps they can lock down the USB ports allowing only signed hardware that's licensed to run on the unit so that guitars, etc don't get hosed. Sure I'd lose my ability to use my cheapo usb keyboard, but I wouldn't mind. The dongle is updateable but so is the firmware on the PS3 and given this isn't a hardware problem like the old 1+2K PSP units it's just a matter of time before Sony shoves back. Can't say I'm happy to see this day as it just won't end well given how much the last 2 Sony systems got taken to task with piracy.

So are you for or against? JOIN OR DIE!

The power of the PS3 is incredible, it just imagine what could be done with it if its fully unlocked. It could replace all the consoles in my house. It could possibly emulate the Wii! (ok this is a strech, but run along with it).

Unfortunately, it is a software hack, so it will probably get patched rather quickly. But then again, same thing happend on the wii, and circumvention is still around. Then again, the new PSP is near impossible to hack on the latest firmware.


Anyway, only time will tell now what happens to the PS3 online world and offline worlds, but for me, I'm just going to grab some popcorn and watch the scene unfold. I'm expecting great things to happen.

What I'm confused about is how this can let you load games off of a hard drive? AFAIK, it only supports FAT32, which doesnt allow files larger than ~4GB. Blu-ray discs are far greater than that.

that's where internal HDD takes the role.

Against, I'd like to see it locked down. After seeing how much piracy along with Sony's arrogance put the nails in the coffin on the PSP I don't want to see it repeated. As you said along my thinking, it appears to not be a hardware vulnerability so it's a matter of time before Sony drops the clamps just like they did on the PSP Go and even the 3000 model.

Probably not likely to happen but I don't want to start seeing developer excuses in some later months about how the PS3 is so easy to pirate more games get stolen than bought so they're giving up on X project like they do with PSP now since it's so rampant. I wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't such a stupid simple and ultimately cheap way to rip off PS3 games as it requires nothing but a little time and that part, no burners, no stupid pricey media to buy, etc. Dongle, game, copy game...done.

Splits them.

yeah, that has me ultra confused too. Unless, there are host files on the retail disk which amount to the other 20gb content...... i don't know. But then again, several games are under 4gb, like red faction: guerilla, and burnout paradise, and warhawk, etc.......

also, i wonder if it would be possible to flash the PS3 to a lower firmware using this. I'd rather be on the lower PS3 firmwares. like 2.10, where the old PS3 splashscreen used to come up, and otherOS used to exist.

To reiterate myself, the files can be split to be smaller than 4 GB. This is how some games are handled on wii backups.

who else is getting a ps3 this weekend

*sigh* It rips the games file by file...it rips the CONTENTS of the disc, it does not create an ISO file.

this makes sense now.......... thanks for clearing that up. so its not packaged, its just handled in a directory of files. this makes sense now.

This sucks. One of my top ten reasons why I liked the ps3 was because it was unhackable.

though if any one individual file is larger than 4GB...you're pretty much fucked....for now.

Why does it matter that it's hacked? Everyone keeps complaining about it. I don't see a reason TO complain. For the people who want it hacked, go hack it. For the people who don't, don't. As simple as that.

 

[zant]

they did say "they" were working on implementing NTFS support, thus allowing ISO handling theoretically.

also, i figure the team did a smart thing my charging for it and protecting the device. this way, sony cannot crack the code, and therefore, cannot patch it.
