Will there ever be mod for PS3

[RaiDesu]

It's possible that all this could be done via Linux, as more and more of the system becomes explored.

Hmmm maybe because the disks will surely have a size of 8gig+ since the high res. Well surely that can't fit on a disk. Maybe they can run it from the hard drive

 

[Bob Evil]

Can't run from the HDD at present, because it's FAT32 only ... and you can't have files larger than 4gb on a FAT32 HDD.

Normally, games would be run as an ISO, but the FAT32 thing precludes that, so it would have to be something that allowed all the files normally within an ISO to be read from a folder, that contained all the files.

Their blog (http://group-slump.blogspot.com/) does not even exist anymore.

Probably not espcially since the user base is so low right now, and without any worth while games available the chances of anyone going to the trouble of downloading 20gig plus games that u can get on ps2 are slim.

...11 million units is not ''so low''...For one. Second of all, ''without any worth while games'', this is just full of fail. Uncharted, DMC4, CoD4, Heavenly Sword, Orange Box, Motorstorm, Resistance, aren't worth while games in your eyes? None of the games I listed are available on the PS2. I don't know where your from but you're Very mis-informed.

There are very few 20GB games. Just look up the scene releases , none are ripped and most seem to be around the 8GB mark to download , there seems to be very few that are fill the whole disc yet , only ones I can even think of that are 20GB+ are drakes fortune , lair and dynasty warriors and some Japanese games. Besides that, downloading 20GB is no more trouble than downloading 4.37GB or 7 or so GB for 360 games ,it'll just take a bit longer.

I still don't see what the user base and size of games has to do with anything though. If it could be done it would be. No one is going to say well , we have a way , but as people will bitch about download sizes , blu-ray prices and just moan in general , we won't bother.

A couple of games are about 24gb ... but they are ones that have a large range of textures, for different resolutions.

Sony are pretty safe from piracy, it simply doesn't make much economic sense to pirate a game

the cheapest Blu ray burner is around £160

cheapest blanks are around £11 (let's not forget coasters), it's likely the reliable discs will cost £15

hell if you use usenet and are buying block sizes, a 100gb allowance won't last long for 25gb discs - that'll add another £7 to the cost. In total it's going to be over £22 a game!! might as well buy a new game for £30-40 and trade it in once you're done.

compare that with the xbox360 where most newish computers have a DL burner built in (so no extra setup cost). you can get vertbium DL discs for under £1.50, if you're using a usenet block account add another £1.50 (for a 6-7gb download). In total around £3 a game, it's a no brainer when it comes to the 360.

It will most likely be an ISO loader from a hard drive...but MOST likely the mod will be a long way off because Sony was smart to put Linux on the PS3 (most hacks are derived solely for the purpose of Linux installation).

I disagree. For one your prices for the blanks are much too high. You can pick up reliable verbatim bd-r discs for £5-9 (price seems to fluctuate

). Usenet a block account will last about the same as it will 360 games , go look at the scene releases of ps3 games , most are 8-9GB , only a few come in at 20GB+. Even if you did anticipate and say well they might get bigger if you know you're going to pull 25GB a game , why would you buy a 100GB block for £7 , when you can get unlimited accounts for around the same price.

So your looking at like £9ish a game. Not including usenet subs as not everyone uses + likely you don't have it soley for ps3 games , so it's unfair to add that to the price , may as well add your isp costs.

Nope, not any time soon, anyway.

It can't be done with ISOs, as the PS3 can't read files larger than 4gb ... so, it'll either from a disc or something where the files can be 'loose'.
