HP_Wizards Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 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!

Biohead Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Also, there is some work underway to get otheros reinstated :jump: As far as I understand they can enable the menus, but not the installer (not sure if you already have it installed then you can use it?)

Piggy Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 err here's one reason for me to start drooling at the aspect of jail breaking the PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQNIVtFPkOw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 20, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 20, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gunslinger Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohead Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 RichDevX has managed to get a PS3 into full Service mode.

AbandonedTrolley Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Whats the significance of full service mode? I believe people claimed that service mode unlocked PS2 compatibility in machines that apparently didn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
