At their site now. I might actually buy one of these bad boys.

I wouldn't. There a possibility of a free alternative, and you're facing the danger that Sony can, and will, update and block it. Though from reading the instructions given with the device it looks like if they block it it will only affect people going to install it, but they could also delete the Backup Manager's installation files.

I foresee a mandatory PSN update in the future. By mandatory I mean they will block PSN access if you don't.

Probably won't be necessary, debug consoles will show up as debug consoles on the network. Most likely a way to tell legit from spoofed at their own end, not the user end.

Or else whatever debug key got dumped/leaked, it will be shown as connecting to the PSN 1,000,000 times laugh.gif

Just guesses of course, and again if this is real only issues for anyone who goes on PSN. For those that don't, best Sony can do is include mandatory FW updates on future game discs.

They can only be real games, you can't just download a game from the Interwebz and install it on your PS3. This doesn't work like that.

Yup, works the same as a current debug units does.

Although with unsigned code being able to be run, if it is successful you'll no doubt get methods to play downloaded files.

That's if anybody knows how to code that kind of thing on PS3. I would have thought that coding for it will be a lot more difficult for PS3.

Maybe now this will get Sony to take their Blog Share more seriously and start implementing what a lot of people been asking for, instead of little things like PS Store recommendations and a sparkly XMB?

Looks like i'll be turning off Automatic Updates now to see how things go with this device.

Here is what the newest version of the PS3 will look like

Don't know if anyone knowtist this, but it let's you skip mandatory updates.

A full blue-ray game backup takes around 90 mins.

You can play Online from the backup.

Can't skip videos playing a backup game.

Once the program is installed, you can't remove it, ever.

The USB must be conected at all times.

You can bet that will be the first thing they work on.

Also removing patches from rips is another process not unfamiliar to modders. Those won't be an issue.

Maybe on the Wii, but some PS3 games for example required a FW that not long ago free'd up more memory in the system OS. Things like that just can't be patched out like they can on a very basic OS like the one the Wii has.

"We've heard from numerous sources that PS Jailbreak clones will be hitting as early as next week. We'll leave it up to you whether you want to take a chance on something like that."

Yes...I think I might. : D

For firmware that are actually necessary for compatibility with a game, you might see an implementation like the Wii (homebrew 'patches' to the OS that still leave the security hole in place but update the OS). Though that depends how big exploit is.

It's not really an exploit though as such, someone has just managed to dump the test debug consoles good bits, get away with that, then leak it. From my understanding anyway.

What you can do on the debug firmware isn't exploitation, the firmware itself is by default pretty much open a lot due to the developers needs.

Paying $170 for a 1st gen piracy device is a complete lmfao, so yes, if you're interested wait.

As someone on another forum said...they're probably building their initial investment because they know Sony will block it, so they need to make as big a profit as they can...and quickly.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here.

[Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
