PS3 finally hacked?


Recommended Posts

I presume by your high moral standard you have NEVER ever EVER downloaded anything thats pirated or really broken a law? or listened to someone mp3 player loaded full of pirated music (still morally wrong).... or ran a trial of winzip in your life that was longer then the trial period.

I find most people are hypocrites and the fanboys usually take the attitude dont pirate on my fanboy console but I love the fact other co's can be....

Again, what is with the use of the term fanboy?

To answer your question though, yes I have in the past but I've since learnt how piracy can damage industries and now everything I own is legit. My iPod is full of albums purchased through iTunes or ripped of store purchased CD's. I buy all my films on Blu Ray and I don't use winzip.

This topic just happens to be about the PS3, but I'm talking about piracy in general.

Jaicrab USB Firm Loader – First steps for PS3 CFW!

More exciting news from the PS3 scene. Jaicrab has released a program for the PS3 known as “USB Firm Loader v0.2″. This app requires you to have a jailbroken PS3 w/ FTP server program and allows us to dump the contents inside /dev_flash (the “guts” of your PS3 firmware)' date=' install it on a USB stick, and then boot from that firmare!

Does this mean custom firmware for PS3? Yes indeed it does, and this is a very big step towards PS3 CFW =). All that would be required from this point is to make modifications to firmware as needed to let it do what we want.

To quote (translated):

This program allows to simulate dev_flash from a USB. Allowing therefore a Custom Firmware.

We will be able to modify the files of our new dev_flash (USB) to our ill, without running the risk of throwing the PS3 to the sweepings. It is a beta version, surely you will find failures.

I will continue working in it when the time allows it to me.

To remember that the console does not undergo any risk. Everything what really changes of new dev_flash you will be doing it in the USB.

Requirements:

1. – Syscall PEEK and POKE.

Installation:

1. – To copy with the “Ftp server” all the content of /dev_flash to the USB (in the root).

2. – To also copy the JaiC_USB_FIRM_LOADER.pkg in the root of the USB.

3. – To install the package.

Use:

1. – To introduce the USB in the PS3.

2. – To execute USB FIRM LOADER. After a second volvera to the XMB. The new one will sign this loaded.

You will see that any thing that you make the USB will start up. Ideal to modify RCO, to interchange units, which you imagine.

IMPORTANT!

You do not update being in way Firmware Live. That would reinitiate the system having returned to put dev_flash original and it would update to you!

NonUPDATE FROM USB FIRMWARE LOADER!

I hope custom firmware leads to enabling PSN access again :)

Edit, I forgot to add that my request to cancel was honoured. Pretty glad as they lowered the price of the dev board too. Also waiting to hear more on the advancements they make and what Sony are using to ban. Until GT5 comes out my PS3 will go unused anyway, so I'm not missing out. Besides Reach / F1 are gonna keep me plenty busy :D

Dunno if it's been posted yet but...

PSP games are working and a tool is being made to convert them to PS3 format ;D

There is word that the video linked above is fake, but they did find files related to a PSP emulator.

The PSP on PS3 video is fake.

In this video some guy "runs" Crysis on the PS3 using the same trick.

Apparently...

Wasn't the original PS and to a lesser extent, the PS2, ridiculously easy to get pirate games for?. In many places that was a console selling point

Yeah, I think that's where sony shot themselves in the foot!

I know of people that are hardcore PS2 fans, and yet refuse to move to the PS3. Main reason...they can't get copied games.

Since the PS3 only recently started making money on hardware sales, it would have been corporate suicide for them to build a console where piracy was anywhere close to easy. Each console sold to someone who never buys games eats into whatever profits they might have generated otherwise.

This is where i'd like to have a "like" button on neowin.

So people don't have to make pointless replies to show their appreciation to a comment someone makes :)

Just read through this.

What I don't get is how someone knows what to solder? How and what to bypass? How to manipulate the signal from the controller in order to 'hack' the playstation! Genius!!

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
