PS3/PSP private keys released.

[codezer0]

I love fail0verflow so much right now.


I'm hoping the "lol, piracy" tools get better. I've got a modchipped ps2 that has saved my ass regarding how many games my original playstations ruined.

At this point, quite a lot of the games I used to own are now only in CD/DVD-R now because the prior systems scratched them all to hell and back, rendering them unplayable.

Being able to play burned games again, this time with better/upscaled graphics to boot, would be a boon for me, and allow me to finally retire my old PS2.

I'm been curious if they can restore PS2 emulation for slims.

Even if it is software only, better than nothing.

sadly no, both software/hardware was removed to reduce costs.

I was told the later original model PS3's actually had no PS2 hardware in them, just software emulation.

So if it was truly just software emulation, it should be possible to restore it on slims.

 

[Rydian]

Correct, later PS3s used software-only emulation, and we could restore it... if we had it. If somebody can manage to "extract the emulator" (to put it very roughly) out of the old models and install it into the new models... but seeing as it runs under another OS they'd need hypervisor drivers for it (at least according to Sony), seems a bit of a mess.

I'd wager on somebody releasing a port of a PS2 emulator first.

 

[codezer0]

Yes, there was SOME software there, but that was mostly as an interface to the hardware chips in the original, hardware BC models.

The soft-BC models employed more software to emulate the Emotion Engine CPU portion, then used software emulation for the other half on the Cell's processor. Not perfect, either.

Both chips were removed, and Sony couldn't be arsed to release software to emulate both properly. thus, no BC on the neutered and slim models.

 

[ProtoKun7]

I've read about the AACS case before, and I was amused by the way they managed to hide the key within an image.

It really will be interesting to see what Sony do; this is...massive.

EDIT: Also, I meant to say, good OP, Rydian, it's very simple to read.

*continues reading the earlier pages*

EDIT EDIT: I also was going to say: It's funny how the PS3 went from being the only unhacked console for years to the most open current-gen system altogether.

Interesting. I thought they took it out to try to increase PS2 sales for the ones that were left or something.

That'd make sense knowing them.

But if it is indeed a whole other OS on it then we may have some trouble. I might ask one of the fail0verflow guys about it.

 

[lostmongoose]

not exactly. the original 80GB JP/US/CDN and all original EU 60/80GB units still had the graphics hardware. Software was only used to emulate the EE chip. the remaining PS2 hardware was removed, as well as the memory card slots and 2 USB ports, in the 40GB/80GB redesign unit for the price drop and all subsequent versions.

 

[haddad]

So we can hack the ps3 and play downloaded games off harddrive? And still stay on PSN?

 

[awssk8er]

This is pretty insane.

Think about it. The PS3 was completely unhackable around six months ago.

 

[haddad]

What does this mean? Please somebody answer my questions

- Can we play downloaded games from internet?
- Can we run emulator's and other non-ps3 games?
- Where are the actual keys?
- How do we put it on our ps3?
- Can we hack out ps3 and still play online?

 

[ProtoKun7]

-Use program to inject said homebrew or game file with private key
-For PS3, slap it onto the HDD, or with the PSP onto the memory stick
-???
-Profit!!!
You said PS3 twice.

Uh, you did link to the site, bro.
No he didn't. He changed part of the link with asterisks.

This is pretty insane.

Probably a little longer than 6 months ago. I haven't been keeping a calendar, but I think it might have been.

Nice way to one-up my thread

This one is better I guess.

By a long shot.

Oh my God. I've had my PS3 since around the time it was released. And the day the first PSJailbreak came out my friend showed me it, and I was like "I'm getting that!". I never did get it, and even when prices dipped to like $20, still didn't get it (Bro kept updating frikin system, AND no PSN).

Now you're telling me that the keys FINALLY have been found!

My ps3 (The original 60gb, CECHA01) has PS2 compatibility so im jazzed to see if they'll make it so you can play PS1/2 backups, maybe even PS3!

Im Syched!

 

[Slyakin]

Here's what I'm looking forward too.


-PS2 playback.
-ISO Loading.


But of course, I'll still see a flood of utter bullshit before I see anything good.

 

[fermio100]

I don't agree with the people who say that Geohot's a fake and never hacked anything, but I will readily admit that his hacks are often continuations of other people's work.

It's called derivative work and many discoveries were made using this method.

 

[EpicJungle]

Wow.
Amazing!

But, do you need to buy some special device (kinda like an R4 or Jailbreak), to load stuff with the key?
Plus, does this mean people might make emulators emulating the Wii or GCN?

Im practically bouncing in my seat cause of my excitement :DDD

 

[Rydian]

Thanks for the corrections on the backwards compatibility, thought it was a hard cutoff.

- Can we play downloaded games from internet?
You're going to have to be more descriptive.
- Can we run emulator's and other non-ps3 games?
Yes.
- Where are the actual keys?
On the internet. ^.~
- How do we put it on our ps3?
That's not how it works. The keys will be integrated into homebrew.
- Can we hack out ps3 and still play online?
Half of my first post was spent explaining that this is not a hack.

No dongle needed, anything signed with these keys will run just like official Sony updates/programs.

And yes, people can emulate the Wii/GCN as soon as somebody makes an emulator.

 

[anonymourse]

Is there any homebrew that uses this key yet? If not is there anything being worked on currently? Is there even an old piece of homebrew with the key in it yet?

What can we do with the keys?
With the keys, we can sign our own programs. We no longer have to hack the PS3 in order to run custom content, because our programs will have the signature that the system checks for. This means that now, somebody can make a program that will run on ANY PS3, regardless of it's firmware version or whether it's been modded or not. This opens the doors for anybody with a PS3 to develop content (not just hackers), and you don't need a hacked PS3 to run anything they make. This blows the PS3 wide open.

Clearly says you don't need any devices.
Hopefully yes, anything is possible now
