PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[gisel213]

Yeah, as Jiggah said (and Ryupower quotes from Mathieulh), a PC and PSP are both programmable and neither are just flash drives, so they may be able to do this as well.

+1 PSP'S putting a ps3 into debug now that's thats funny i can see psp's with dead umd drives skyrocketting in price on ebay now.... but i wont have
to buy any i got 7 psp's already.....

I don't see why people think that the JailBreak is what has to be updated considering that the Backup Manager is what loads the games. All the PSJailbreak does it put it into debug mode right? If that is the case, then that's all it needs to do. What needs to be updated is the Backup Manager, not the PSJailbreak but correct me if I'm wrong.This is correct for game updates, however the concern is Sony doing something to remove dev mode in the first place.

As was said on the first page...
QUOTE(mehrab2603 @ Aug 19 2010, 12:15 AM) so is sony going to disable usb ports now?

Sony might take some drastic steps against this.

After all, they removed OtherOS, stopped pandora batteries from being a working way to save a brick, and had that whole fiasco where their music CDs installed rootkits on people's computers to control them.

As has been said previously disabling the USB port would be pretty stupid. The Playstation Move uses the USB port for Playstation Eye. While the hack is disturbing for Sony, they're not going to disable the USB port entirely because of it. It certainly is not similar to the removal of the never used OtherOS feature. The Pandora batteries stopped working because they changed the hardware spec entirely, moved the jig somewhere else so the batteries stopped working, and gave their techs a different way of doing what they needed to do. The rootkits were in fact not directly Sony's fault, but because of the DRM vendor they chose. People should have focused on them instead of Sony.

Why pick the PSP though, if you're going to write a exploit client wouldn't it be better to pick a platform that is widely available and already capable of running the code.

The post I quoted was joking about how Sony tends to react to piracy, that's why I gaveexamples of how they've really reacted in the past.

Wasn't aware of the DRM thing, though.

Because it works? If it works, then why not use it rather than searching around for another?

Well that's my point. The PSP (hacked and capable of running the code) isn't widely/freely available. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done or is a bad idea to do it for the many people with PSPs, but surely it makes more sense to target a platform/s people can actually get hold of easily (or already have, like a PC) rather than creating unnecessary hurdles.

 

[nico445]

yeah the psp hack seems like a good idea. also how they talked with some edits it could be made permanent that seems like a great solution

 

[alucard77]

That is yet to be seen. I have heard that the new units were able to be upgraded. It is all heirsay anyway.

But who do you trust more, the guy who made the exploit or the guy who copied the exploit? The guy who made the exploit has the knowledge to change it. The guy who copied it does not, since he only copied it.

It's like school. 2 guys get a 95 on test. One guy cheated off of the other guy. Do you think the guy who cheated is just as smart as the guy who didn't cheat? If these were medical students, who would you trust to operate on you, the guy who cheated, or the guy who did it fair and square?

That's missing the point entirely though.

A clone is by definition, a copy of the original meaning that they pretty much have the same hardware. Since they have the same hardware, they should be able to run the same software as well otherwise, it wouldn't a clone.

Just like the R4 clones, they may be copy of the original R4 BUT they can still run the same software as the original.

I get that point, but if Sony puts the PSJailbreak team out of business, is the X3 team smart enough to do updates, or are they only good at cloning. If R4 did not exist, then there would be no updates to the clones.

then your buying market will get reduced as to: how many people with a PS3, that also own a hacked PSP, are willing to buy it..?? instead of: How many people with a PS3 are willing to buy it..?? I'll say for the 1st question the porcentage is around 5% of the total PS3 owners, versus 60% of the total PS3 owners...!!

...o_0

Way to confuse me.

 

[Scorpin200]

i think people will wait till next year when there are more than one choice for a backup solution for ps3, because the price is sky high plus the fact that you can't update it.

yeah but i can see heaps of threads popping up due to people not having the right usb chipsets in thier computers and being unable to run said program, also: do you want a male to male usb cable permanently running from your pc to your ps3?

an app for ipod/iphone or a psp homebrew prog that takes care of it for you, on the other hand would be very easy to use

 

[gisel213]

psp's pc's all kinds of ideas thrown around... what about a ps2???? reason i say this reports say in a pc it says unknown device well
what if under ulaunchelf someone plugged it in and tried to open it under the mass extension to see if it can read it or get any code from it????

just wonderin if another sony playstation device could read it cause we all know the ps3 does.....

 

[redact]

just wonderin if a another sony playstation device could read it cause we all know the ps3 does.....

read a little earlier in the thread, it has already been reverse engineered, no need to "read it"

I saw the reversing on another site i was just throwing that out for shits and grins....

Well that's assuming such a problem exists. If you only offered the hack on the PSP do you think you wouldn't get an equal or greater explosion of posts about how, where and what to get a PSP/iDevice to run the hack?

More devices it could run on the better of course. I'm actually now eager to see if this pans out more than seeing actual clones hit the market.

Don't know if anyone caught this yet.

[trumpet-205]

So they forced them to sell PSJailBreak to Sony for anlysis?

Nintendo need to watch and learn.
