PS3 Dongle playing 3.6+ games on 3.55

[shakirmoledina]

There is a major rumor going around about an Indonesian team called KADO claiming they can run copied PS3 firmware 3.60+ games on an official firmware 3.55 console using a dongle called Jailbreak 2. Since this news is going so viral I have decided to post it here for all to discuss, whether it be fake or not time will tell and thus avoiding been flamed for reporting late.

In the first video we are shown a console on OFW 3.70, he inserts the dongle, goes into recovery mode, presses a select start combination, installs a firmware called "3.55 - Dongle" and plays PES 2012 from what looks like an original disc.

The second video (Updated link) from you tube, as stated in the first paragraph, shows the dongle in action running the game off a backed up disc.

Just one word... Awesome

why no jailbreak that work on v3.72
i hate downgrading -_-

 

[raulpica]

Meh, just like with the DemonHades firmware, until there's a release I won't believe a word of what they say.

 

[shakirmoledina]

psx-scene and ps3hax have confirmed tht it works. i hope it does cuz i believe the ps3 games (latest) are totally useless on cfw. i just hope tht a soft mod is released

 

[SpaceJump]

Would this be able to downgrade from 3.72 or only from 3.7?

Nice, can't wait till there's a free version.

i am pretty sure they havent done anything in 3.72 tht can cover this exploit. i believe its for the latest firmware or even later if sony cannot fix it till then.

Basically, the 'True Blue' device is a small USB dongle that allows PS3 consoles running on special custom v3.55 firmware to fully Jailbreak your PS3 console so you can enjoy the complete world of 'homebrew', 'emulators' and 'OtherOS++' while at the same time still fully allow you to play the latest PS3 games which have been designed to only run if your console was updated to a legit v3.6+ firmware!

Spoiler: Features

True Blue' features:

• Booting of all games designed for v3.6+ (up to v3.73) from BD-R discs and HDD
• Runs your existing games and new games up to v3.73 from HDD in conjunction with 'backup managers'
• (NOTE: 'Backup Manager' are not supplied with the dongle, end-user installs his choice of personal 'homebrew')
• Does not require the Power/Eject trick
• Custom v3.55 Dongle firmware behaves like OFW when 'True Blue' is not inserted
• Manufactured from highest grade components and Actel based
• Durable and high quality metal case design
• Tough and durable plastic packaging
• Further features to be added as they are developed
• On board 2 MBytes SPI flash
• Supports Fat and Slim consoles currently running any firmware up to v3.55
• And any PS3 which can be downgraded successfully from v3.6+ to v3.55
• (NOTE: Requires other tools, 'True Blue' currently can't downgrade a Console)
• Supports all regions of consoles
• Supports all regions of v3.6+ games
• Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing

The 'True Blue' dongle now allows booting of the latest (3.6+) games from normal BD-R discs and now from your PS3 HDD.

Already made, same thing, True Blue is just it's official name. Threads should merge.

If it's a special CFW (and I'm sure it is) give it two weeks and they'll dump the necessary files.

I'm pretty sure they've cooked up a USB-pen just to cash as much as possible in those few weeks till the exploit gets retro-engineered, then they'll disappear into thin air.

I was pretty much thinking the same thing. They're reverse engineering it I believe, but there are a bunch of guesses on how it works.

Is there some homebrew that can be used to copy games to a hdd and then play the games with this? I assume this let's you run any homebrew.
