PS3 finally hacked?

[AbandonedTrolley]

The backup of BC2 I made works fine once I had deleted my game data/patches. 8.1gb

Tomb Raider : Underworld just boots to a black screen, not sure of the issue there. Have to love the Tomb Raider file name convention, 3 files called BIGFILE.000/001/002

I just think it's so strange that this little device that never made it out to the public has caused this huge explosion of hacking in the PS3...Dingoo ports, Android ports, N800 ports...There's be a version for ever damn electronic soon!

Ya, and before the original gets released too :rofl:

[Emn1ty]

This exploded faster than I expected...

Hasn't the PSJailbreak been completely banned now anyway? SCEA filed a suit against Zoomba LLC selling with Shoppsjailbreak in the US and in Australia they aren't allowed either, so I thought it was a big lockdown? They're updated their Backup Manager too if that news is to be believed that seems to indicate that it will only function on the PS Jailbreak.

Ozmodchips has re-listed the PSjailbreak for sale, and something big is suppose to happen tomorrow.

[Piggy]

hmm it seems games are already being distributed all over the interwebs.

I really don't want to lose my PSN, so I'm going to wait till all the other guinea pigs try things first. :shifty:

I'm pretty sure Sony will horribly violate everyone who uses this to play backed up games :p Microsoft do, so I don't see why Sony wouldn't. You might not get banned instantly but it will happen.

The PS2 emulator thing confirms what we already suspected, That Sony have been playing about with it to eventually sell PS2 games on PSN. Otherwise I don't see how the original PS2 emulator from the original fats would even boot on the later consoles, considering they are missing a few vital chips.

I have this feeling Sony won't ban consoles but they'll just block online play. They'll play it out the same way they are with the PSP. IMO :p

Then again they have way more to lose with the PS3, as do developers.

[helios01]

The emulator is included on every PS3 and just hidden from "non BC PS3". Every firmware revision flashes those same files, they don't provide a separate firmware for BC PS3s. There is also proof of the service mode 40GB PS3 running a PS2 game on youtube.

That'd be a pretty f'd up move by Sony. I remember the polls on Sony website asking what PS3 owners wanted most, and PS2 BC being on top. :no:

banning consoles mean blocking online access, just like what Microsoft does to xbox hackers/cheaters.

its inevitable sony will do it.

This thread toke me a while to read though (about 3 hours while at work). learned A LOT though and I think i got it pretty much figured out.

I'm going to take the same approach as AB though, i'll let you guys test it all out and go see what Sony does to reply first then maybe i'll take the plunge at it. I got the money, a decent paying job, all the games i want to play and like playing online so I have no need to be in a rush to pirate anything and risk the ability to lose my ability to play online/get my psn ID banned. Homebrew sounds good though.

And as for MKV support and PS2 emulation from that Backup Manager, i really doubt that's going to happen. I definitely would have to see it to believe it.

[sn00pie]

Happy birthday audio! :)

Anyhow, I'll wait and see how Sony responds to this before jumping in. I love my PS3 too much to risk losing any online abilities for a few dollars :p

[DPyro]

You don't need to wait. I can assure you Sony will ban people who use any homebrew, so if you want to use this you'll need a second PS3 unless you don't care about PSN.

[rajputwarrior]

don't update your ps3 if you want to use this. it disables USB on bootup apparently.

drk||Raziel has announced that he is working on porting the NullDC (DreamCast) Emulator and the pcsx2 (PlayStation 2) emulator onto the PS3.

To quote:

Well, sometimes you just can?t get free from your projects as easily as you want to. So, seeing as there wasn?t much interest in nulldc?s source I started to work at it again ! (And yes, of course it will remain open source).

So, I?m officially again working on nullDC! There?s a bank of ideas on the wiki on what I plan to do. We?re also planning to get the project side back up and stuff.

IRC users are now reporting that ps3 firmware is 3.42 live.

Checking the sony website still shows 3.41 as the latest but grabbing the updatelist.txt from HERE shows otherwise.

Update:

This update is mandatory and does appear to patch the psgroove/psjailbreak exploit. Now given we all may be panicking and all that needs to be done is a change in shellcode (like the 3.15 needs to be) but regardless we request everyone to play it safe and stay on 3.41 until it is fully understood.

The update has no other ?new features? and it was just a single revision update so it probably is just s0ny?s first swing at psgroove (besides the legal actions).

i try my best...

Just got my AT90USBKEY today. I will try this tonight after flashing the firmware. Anyone here tried flashing AT90USBKEY on a windows 7 64 bit? Some people say it just didn't work until they decided to use 32 bit windows xp to flash the key.

You could just use XP-M in Win7 64bit? Works a charm.

I already got few vmware images with xp installed supporting usb but I just formatted my primary pc, so I will have to go through installing everything again etc... I'm pretty much just curious if anyone managed to run it on 64 bit win 7.
