PS Jailbreak - The first PS3 Modchip

[Rydian]

Good example, but the facts are that any file compiled with the stolen SDK are illegal to distribute.

I call bullshit.
Quote me relevant laws.

Title 17 is the section you want.

I read this.

The PS3key team (believed to behind Wiikey) just posted this status on their FB page - "Good news everyone! Our mad scientist has confirmed that getting into the console is as simple as pretending to be a USB hub! It doesn't look like this is going to take any more than a few weeks!" In other words, their clone of PSJailbreak is coming along nicely.

At least two direct logs of the data transmission have already been posted...

after all the processing fees and all that, they still don't make profit or anything to call a profit. it's still equivalent to MSRP or around

Wonder if there'll be a way to trigger it via a PSP using homebrew or via a computer with a male-male USB Cable.
Still, even the idea of the clones interests me - I'm not sure if I'll be willing to lose my PS3's online access though, so I'm waiting to see what happens regarding 3.50 before I take the plunge - if you definitely get banned from onnline, I'll finish Demon's Souls first

I like the thought of using a psp to trigger it on irony alone.


Ant I read this.


Today the PS JailBreak team have confirmed via xiaNaix (linked above) that an updated version 1.1 of the Backup Manager is coming soon which will include new features and tweaks.

Previously it was reported that the PS JailBreak delay was due to a component shortage, however, this was also clarified today, to quote:

"They would also like to clarify that the launch delay was not caused by a parts shortage as originally reported. They are finishing their retail packaging and finalizing the new software."

Finally, the PS JaiLBreak team are assisting Australian resellers who were recently a victim of an injunction by Sony, as follows:

"With the recent injunction in Australia, they have decided to stand behind their dealers and distributors with financial support. They have made a sizable donation to both OzMods and Quantronics to help support the cause!"

Good on the makers of this gear.

Boo on Sony. Since choosing to remove functionality that we as users (and in some cases, fans) have paid for, they deserve every bit of the shitstorm that's coming to them.

Oh and the fact that barely anyone actually used OtherOS in the first place doesn't matter because you just want something to complain about?

your really only hurting all the game developers

if anything this would boost ps3 sales

 

[C175R]

are they still gona sell this?

With Sony, there's plenty to complain about anyway.

As a Sega Saturn owner, when Sony paid money to the developers of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil to keep the games' sequels off Sega's console (thus forcing people to buy a Playstation if they wanted to play the sequels to games that were originally on the Saturn anyway), their cutthroat business practices were made clear... OK, all's fair in business -- well, why does Sony moan when others screw them over. Get used to it, I say, Sony have screwed enough people over in the past.

Not even to mention how Sony tried to screw over Nintendo.

I do use it. In fact, using it right now.

What I am angry about, is that even with all the work I put in to get a platinum in Dante's Inferno, I can't even at least upload that I'd done it because Sony made it so that you have to 'up'date to even do that anymore... on a single-player game for crying out loud.

Thankfully I'd yet to have a single movie require an update, but I've already ended up losing both Stardust HD and PAIN because they then complained about updates which then whined about me needing to update too.

and what do I get for updating? "oh, the ps3 can support 3DTV's now." well la-dee-dah. 3DTV's are wayyy overpriced now, and the tech currently requires equally overpriced glasses, with none of them being standardized, so you have some makers charging as much as $400 USD for a pair, and everyone wanting to watch or play on one will need their own pair. Or how some of these models also require expensive batteries too. I'm not even looking in the general direction of a 3DTV until the tech for non-glasses-requiring sets has advanced and refined enough to kill these glasses-requiring models out of the market, and at the kind of price points a basic 1080p set are now.

So I'm more than a bit angry about that. You may begin apologizing for ASSuming now.

My only quip with this PSJailbreak, is simply that I'd wish it would also allow playing copied PS1 (and if the system supports it, PS2) games on the console. I've currently got a chipped PS2 that I can't get rid of because of this irritating hurdle that nobody has yet to properly clear.

consumer screwing over and business screwing over are two different things. one is competition, the other one isn't.

Spoken like a true fanboy. Oh and regarding your supposed 'Sony are evil, they have lots of money and paid developers to release only on Playstation after it was originally on Sega' That's funny because I read:

The first installment in the Resident Evil series, it was originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation and was subsequently ported to the Sega Saturn and PC.

First of all, You =/= everyone. So you are the one that is assuming, if anything I was generalising not assuming. And secondly every console requires you to be online to upload achievements/trophies, hell even steam does that, are you angry with steam because it makes you update your games to play online too? So good on Sony for forcing firmware updates and title updates to play online, keeps people like you who constantly whine about things away from the rest of us. If you actually bought your games (yes now I'm assuming you don't based on the fact that you have burnt PS1 and PS2 games) then you wouldn't have this problem.

That was with reference to Tomb Raider, which was out on Sega first -- And how can I be a fanboy when Sega don't make consoles anymore?

Also, if you have to exaggerate my post to make it look like I said "Sony is evil", you aren't standing on solid ground anyway...


I don't think Sony are evil, but I think they crunched alot of skulls to get to where they are in the video game industry (ie. Sega & Nintendo) -- but if you are too young to have been around then, then it wouldn't concern you anyway.

All is fair in capitalism... Sony should take it as well as dishing it out...

I hope my x3Jailbreak arives today, if it does, I will test it tomorrow.

'cos your posts don't scream troll...

Many of which are so because the original disc was ruined by the console.

How can someone like you still be allowed to post?
