PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[gamefreak94]

HAHA I have been waiting for this moment
*runs to store to buy ps3*

This can't possibly cost more than $50 per unit to produce. Quite possibly even less than that. Within six months, there'll be clones for much cheaper.

The tear down of the supposed dongle has a usb connector, a tiny pcb, an asic, and what looks like a capacitor or something. The total cost of this, even in low volumes is probably more in the $20 range or even $10 to be honest. Hell the casing might cost more than the actual components.

Regrettably you are way off.

The reason the Wii and NDS are being hacked is because the underlying security architecture is total crap. Why you would start from an unproven and untested PS3 hack, would then translate into a theoretical hack for a platform that doesn't even exist yet is odd. The 3DS probably is based on the same security architecture as the DSi. Since the DSi has not been hacked yet, it will probably be awhile before the 3DS gets hacked as well.

As of fact i dont know so much about the hacking scene of DSi and what you definate as "hack" but there are flashcards to DSi... and imo thats kinda "hacked" but maybe i'm totally wrong. please explain what you mean by it's not hacked.

lol i can see it now people go out to buy this and ps3 who dont have one. sony comes out with firmware update blocks psjailbreak. psjailbreak comes out with update for newer games. sony says fuck it and starts pulling a microsoft and starts banning people from psn for using it. People get mad and start blaming sony for messing up there system :0

Maybe it's just a fucking big scam. think about it. we have not seen any Gameplay videos, why wouldnt they show us that? or just the game menu? for me it's kinda strange that ALL the videos stop at the intro. well i'm still a little skeptical until i see a movie with gameplay.

Its not strange, most other demos like this for other consoles do the same.

lol its not scam its already been confimed by alot of well known hackers that it works and places like modchipcentral, ozmodchips are very well known companys for selling modchips they wouldnt sell it it wasnt real. Why would they risk ruining there business or rep?

NTFS support doesn't exist for Linux.Hello 1998, this is 2010 speaking. Kernel 2.6.0 incorporated NTFS read/write support (a couple YEARS ago), because by then it was deemed stable enough, but they had read-only support in 2.2.0 (back in 1999). Have you just been "slimline" distros that only use older kernels to save space?

So...has anyone actually confirmed this working on a retail PS3? And not a debug unit?Yes. Some people think that the units they tested it on were debug units, that was due to two things.

1 - Some people DID test on debug units and reported it not-working, but then they made an update stating it DOES work, and even released a patch to make it work on debug systems.

2 - The dongle sort of puts the PS3 into debug mode so it acts more like a debug system in the videos.

no doubt that the "PS Jailbreak" will sell cheaper elsewhere tooExcept that the ~$100 price is what the original company is selling them for, so if any site was to sell them for cheaper they'd be losing money.


QUOTE(dudeonline @ Aug 20 2010, 12:12 PM) Okay, hoss. Still, putting testimonials up before the product is released is pretty shady. You claim they are from "testers" that got this, and in effect, they were not people who bought it from you, or even bought it at all, so it's still false, assuming these are even "real" testimonials.

1 - We have pictures of it.
2 - The pictures are from people and sites that got it early.
3 - So there's people that have it and used it.
4 - People can write reviews and testimonials of devices they have access to and have used.

So exactly WHERE do you get lost on that train of thought? :|
Makes perfect sense to me.

Son, I am in your situation. But, I'd wait. There is BOUND to be a free release soon. Just wait a little while, and don't update your PS3. By the time this thing actually ships, there will be free ones floating around.

No, because this is not just a damn flash drive with files on it. It's actually-custom hardware.

That doesn't make any sense at all.
The game menus and gameplay are both part of the game.

Getting into gameplay would involve waiting through loading screens and crap that doesn't matter because it's already started the game, because the menus are part of the game and they have already been shown.

DSi 'compatible' flash carts put it into a lower DS mode, thus allowing all the previous hacking methods to work. Since you are in the lower DS mode you don't have access to all the higher level DSi functionality, like access to the store, the camera, the SD slot, or the increased CPU capacity. If it was possible to run arbitrary code in DSi mode, you'd theoretically be able to run many emulators and media players natively, rather than relying on an external chip for the processing power like the SuperCard 2 does. You'd also would then not need a SD slot on the cart because you could use the one on the DSi instead.

This limitations hasn't been obvious because there are only about 10 games that are actually DSi ONLY (not DSi 'enhanced' which have some DSi features but are not mandatory). And all of those have been shovelware. But if say "Pokemon : The lease on our private island expired and you are going to fund our new one" was announced to be DSi only, we'd all be totally screwed. With the 3DS, Nintendo can obviously make such games 3DS only, and without a way to run arbitrary code in either DSi/3DS mode, you wouldn't be able to play any 3D games with a flashcart.

Of course the lack of DSi hacking might be because there isn't any need for it, or it could be because it's hard. Once the 3DS is released and 3DS Zelda/Pokemon/Metroid/Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts get released, then we'll see if the hackers can set up and make things work.

Found this video. so it works. I'm convinced

 

[raulpica]

In the worst case, this will just turn into another DS-Xtreme (it even has flashing leds)

Was the "DS-Xtreme" a 1st gen ds flash card or something?

 

[DarkShadow96]

Convincing. Interesting piece of work. I'll surely get one. Practically a PS3 USB Loader.

 

[Lakerfanalways]

I dont think its fake, or at least I hope that its not fake..because for one thing, if it was fake, why not just release it now..have it in the online stores, people will buy it, throw away their money, then find out the hard way that they were suckered out of their hard earned money. Why wait for another week or a week and a half to release this..plus Modchipcentral.com, its not like they are a phony baloney web site, they are legit, reputable...I doubt they would allow fake garbage to be sold on their site..their site even says you have a 30 day money back guarantee if it does not work so I doubt they would take the risk of having hundreds of people demanding a refund. For 129 bucks its worth it..its still a lot of money but for what it does its worth it..I will just wait a few days after release to get verification from others online who have already received it that it indeed does work

Yup, it actually worked, but it was horribly overpriced ($120) and they promised adding awesome functions (which in the end, they never added).

The team ran away with the money leaving the card unsupported after something like 5 months.

I've requested it on Dealextreme.

Maybe it's possible for them to sell them a little bit cheaper.

I hope Dealextreme doesn't report me to sony for requesting this

God, I hate germany.

I thought you said Ninjapass X9

Awesome flash card, but having a horrible support

 

[xiaNaix]

Only on GBATemp could there be 50 pages of people still claiming this thing is fake after PSX-SCENE and numerous other major scene sites have confirmed it.
