Can you backup PS3 Games??

Ok, so I looked everywhere if it is possible but besides some dumb(and I'm sure fake) blog entries that say that it's possible I couldn't really find anything.
I read that the problem is that the Blu-Ray Games aren't as easy to copy as DVD Games. Can you maybe back the games up to the PS3's HDD and then use some program to play them without the disc?
I couldn't find any PS3 modchips...


And a totally different question:
Are there mod chips for the new version of the Wii?

 

Nothing that will work.

 

lol you obviously didnt look well enough, there are numerous threads on this board on the subject.

You can back up games, but they are useless as vital information is missing, and the PS3 hasnt been hacked.

 

there are modchips for the wii, but if you are looking for those go to the wii section, im not sure they would work tho, heard nintendo updated firmware that dissables the chips.

 

ok, and does anyone think the ps3 could still get hacked? I mean it's been a while since it came out and there's still no chip.
Are the Blu-Rays the problem? Why wouldnt they be able to be copied like DVDs. I mean theres software to copy normal bd-discs

 

The PS3 will be hacked at some stage in its life

Blu rays arnt the problem to as why the PS3 isnt hacked, saying that, PS3 games have unique keys that only Sony know, so without those keys, there is no way of sucessfully backing up a PS3 game for retail machines.

 

There is nothing keeping us from making images...and it isn't the bluray that protects the disks, it is the fact that they are pressed. The protection would work just as well if it was on CD...so long as it was pressed. We know the keys...we just have no method of using them.

The PS3 will be broken...but it will probably be a crack that only allows for offline play...and it might not become available until the PS4, XboX720, and wIII are available.

 

Your wrong we dont know the keys, as each disc has a unique key.
Also, the disc's that are copied via retail machines, or Blu ray drives are useless as they are missing chunks of information, they are also missing the keys i have stated this a million times.

The only way to backup and be able to play a burnt b/r at this point in time is on a test/debug ps3.

Your still going on about your thread of shame

 

Dedicated, I call it.

 

I figured a way to backup PS3 games...just switch the wires going to the bluray drive motor.

 

Please don't embarrass yourself...

 

Irony.

 

How so?

 

lol he was joking/being sarcastic, anyhow it was a bit of banter, he wasnt being serious.

 

I had a feeling he was. But come on, that kind of stuff was done in 2007, I've heard that stuff like that so many times. Anyways, hacking the PS3 has come along way and custom firmware is looking to be released Q2 2010, but an ISO Loader has to be made as well.

 

I dont think so.

 

And I know so, your point?
