PlayStation 3 has given modders and hackers a run for their money. For nearly fours years hackers have tried to create a working mod that would bypass the PS3 software protection and run homebrew applications and backups. However, there has been no real breakthroughs, until now, if you believe what PS3News has to say. According to the site, a product called PSJailBreak will allow owners ...

Originally posted by Jemborg:And doing what? Coming to your house? lol You can download those games through direct download on the PS3 Store. If all else fails,disable internet connectivity on it.
Originally posted by rvinkebob:Yeah, probably. But if you store the game to internal HDD will you run the risk of Sony discovering it?
I would think loading from an internal drive using SATA would be a lot faster than an external drive through USB.

Originally posted by Mysttic:News servers would be the best way and if you have cable internet that wouldn't be quite as bad. Still bad but not as bad.

Even on unlimited unless you have a fast speed, and I mean fiber optic fast, you waiting a looonnnng time just go get the dl. The only logical way to get it would be off a torrent board, cause i can't imagine the hundreds of links to click for it off MU or RS. Even using a private torrent board is crazy, as imagine having to ratio that?
People can hope for dl's for this, but even if it does happen, again this is so unpractical its laughable.

If this is true and starts the piracy movement for the PS3, I don't think as many people will download PS3 games as they do 360 games. Most people aren't willing to download a 25 to 50 gig game just to try it out. To much bandwidth. This is why you don't see a lot of full copy BluRay movies. Yes you can get them but not nearly as many as BluRay rips. I think the Playstation Store games would take the biggest hit.
Originally posted by leif24:While it would not do so on it's own, if it works, then people can make "homebrew games" that would let you play such files; you would not even need to stream.
Could this allow native playback of my 1080p mkv movies? I'm currently forced to use media server to stream my mkv movies over 4 gigs; the dissadvantage of Ps3 media server is it doesn't support 24 FPS or HD audio

So...... I have been reqading and have come to haz new questions. What kind of hardware is on the USB drive to decrypt the PS3 into debug mode?
Everything hedges on that being easily distributable in some fashion....

Originally posted by KillerBug:Ouch, some PS3 games are ports from the 360 but they have been handled better than PC ports I tell you. The PS3 have 4 layers of games one layer it shares with the 360 explicitly, then it has its own ports(look at some of the Jrpg thats has the full non beta version of the game on it) it also has its own PSN game ports which may or may not be exclusive or different enough to note. Then it has its own games made for it. Then it has port me downs which are about half or maybe 30-70% every other year of the new games that it shares with the 360.

It appears to be a flash drive with a programmable I/O controller and a diode linking two of the pins on the ic. If this is all there is, then small-scale production should be very easy, resulting in lots of competition and low prices.
Originally posted by miketoo01:Ya but in order to use them you have to tell the hardware via a USB hardware connection that its ok to use them...I wonder if you could spoof usb driver and load them via say Linux or something?
It was already modified to allow Dev consoles to boot games so the code/files are out there being worked on.
Originally posted by Daniel_1:Wow. Simply amazing...I have no words.
...And when this crack/hack comes out and if it does what it says, then I will be able to play all PS3 games on my Nintendo Wii as well. Now before you say you cannot do this, check the net. There are hundreds of thousands of pages that not only say you can, but tell you how to do it as well.
So the question begs, if the Wii can do all of this, why would you want a PS 3?

Jemborg You are so full of edited for content that your hair is brown. You got your arse beaten so bad in the last thread that you slunk off with your tail between your legs.
And to beat the snot out of you yet AGAIN in this thread, all you need to do is look here
http://www.google.com/search?q=Turn+your...lient=firefox-a
and you will find over 114,000 DIFFERENT sites all saying the same thing I just have. It must really be magic in your own little reality where you are the only one right and everyone else is wrong because YOU say so.

Originally posted by Jemborg:Actually I have, but either way you should also know better than to instigate something that was being addressed by a mod.
You haven't seen enough of his posts then. LOL
Originally posted by xLeD:Its not normal USB thats the point, and yes it turns any PS3 into a dev console.
You guys have got it all wrong, they aren't testing the PSJailbreak on DEV consoles, the PSJailbreak turns your console into a dev console when it is plugged in, wich allows you to run 3rd party sofware on it, aka homebrew.
Then you plug in a normal usb memory that contains the downloaded software-content (The backup manager wich allows you to play copied games) from the PSJailbreak site, then you install this content on the PS3 so you can play backups of games or(illegaly) download games and put on your PS3 to play them.
