PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[rizzod]

i wonder how big these games are exactly.. like if a certain file is over 4gb and can't run on an external, how big is the game uncharted?

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.

Please don't answer questions if you have no idea of what you are talking about.

No one that has the dongle in their hands has actually answered this question yet, so how the hell do you know?

Well, a lot of games like uncharted are larger than 4 Gigs(as an ISO). The backup method of the PS Jailbreak involves copying over the entire file structure, file by file, so that if just one file is over 4 Gigs, then an external HDD dump cannot continue.

Because it behaves in exactly the same way the dev kit emulator does (which I have used) in that it emulates the BD-ROM and the game appears in place of the BD-ROM inserted.

Not only that, but the game data you have ripped from the blu-ray will still have calls to the location of the installed files, which when not detected, will have to be installed as per the original game. These are sometimes in compressed install packages so worst case-scenario, if the jailbreak somehow tells the emulated blu-ray to look within it's own files, the load will fail.

I will PayPal you one English pound for the inconvinience of ignoring my post if it turns out to not be the case.

That says one of uncharted 2's files is over 4 gigs, so that needs to be on an internal.

Remember, unlike other systems the PS3's harddrive is user-swappable with any SATA laptop (2.5") drive, you can get a 500GB 7200RPM drive for $70 on newegg.

Anyone have some games they'd like us to test that haven't been tested yet?

 

[snake32493]

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition.

Mainly PS3 exclusive games & FF13. Ingame footage where the actual gameplay would be nice. Instead of just loading up the title screen.

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition.

Same here. I have F3, but I dont want to buy all the DLC because i dont have a creditcard, and my parents find it to expensive

So the GOTY edition would be great

Do a game with mandatory install.

Hmm

Would it be possible to run "pirates" with this?

(I am receiving a review sample of the x3Jailbreak soon so I want to test every bit out of it)

How did you get one of those? I want one to

psx-scene has confirmed that x3Jailbreak to be fake.

Who gave you a sample?

As you can see from the above image, both devices follow a similar layout with a bank of SMT’s leading to a crystal oscillator then a flash controller and lastly the SMD (Activity light). On the lower device, the flash memory itself is located on the underside of the PCB, as the many vias present in the PCB around the flash controller indicate. A similar arrangement of vias are present on the purported x3Jailbreak, leading me to believe that there is actually a flash chip present on the rear of “their PCB” too.

Upon further inspection of the original PSJailbreak, it’s obvious that its functionality is completely different from that of a normal USB drive, with ground and data being used as what I assume is a serial connection to the host. Data+ and data- of x3Jailbreaks’ PCB, however, shows me without question that the PCB they are showing off is nothing but the internals for a generic or branded-clone USB flash drive, which is further supported by x3Jailbreaks’ act of masking the flash controller’s printed ID. This chip is most likely an Alcor AU6984 flash storage controller.

There you have it. For the time being at the very least, the x3Jailbreak is fake.

It is not 100% confirmed yet. Let's await the 1st reviews online and my test unit.

That doesn't actually confim it as fake.

they may be sending you a normal usb stick

Thats why I am planning to jerk it into my pc 1st to see what happens before I make the 30 min drive to my mate with a PS3 lol

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

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.

I put in two gmail addresses that I don't use - and yes, they both said it was invalid. Whatever you do, DO NOT enter your good email addresses in it!!

@ Quincy: Good plan, let us know how things go!!
