**PS3 Backups as of 05/09 cannot be played yet**

Sooooooooooooooooo...... How is that Java Homebrew thing coming along? Anything new???

 

Lol... u are joking..Right??

 

Its not really a step closer.. its actually a step sideways.. Its been there and was put there intentionally. I believe Sony would have already took every idea you and I are already thinking and patched them..

 

HAHA that guy needs to get out of momz basement, throw the blunt away and do something.

 

I was told that there is always a way to play homebrew and that it was a matter of time. Looks like Sony is gonna win this 1. Hope i'm wrong but its not looking too good.

 

All systems can be hacked, i just hope it's hacked while ps3 is still relevant.

 

So just to be clear, backups meaning movies cannot be played back either correct? Or is it that you cannot play them on the PS3. I always see Blue ray rips, I guess they are all coming from PCs?

 

Actually they can be played, warhawk and gt5 have been loaded from a hard drive, they should update this thread.

 

Does that mean Movie backups are playable as well?

 

@-chaos_zzz-

Have you tried to play Warhawk or GT5 off the harddrive? or you just taking the word from somebody else that you read about?

BTW, Yes movie backups can be played on the PS3.

 

Hes just going off more recent again unconfirmed rumors of backups being playable. There's a thread around here somewhere on it, but again its unconfirmed so as far as we're concerned backups still cant be played until they make their info public for better or worse.

On second thought he could have misinterpreted what our meaning of backups were and thought that because you can play gt5 and warhawk with just game data that its a backup.

 

I am really only interested in Movie backups/rips or whatever I should call them. basically, I want to be able to rip the blu ray movie and play it back on the PS3. It would also be nice to get the .iso off the ps3 to playback on a PC but that is only so I could archive it. I plan to put a big hard drive in the PS3 anyway.

 

I just want to run GTAIV off the hard drive...it needs mods/expansions.

I would even be happy with a hack that still requires the orriginal Blu-ray from the game to be played; so long as I can mod the game (and maybee reduce wear on the laser).

 

why can't we mod the ps3 using ps2 homebrew?

 

Because they are two completely different systems.

Sony learnt from there mistakes with the PS2 and PSP, The Ps3 is VERY secure, and the security is constantly being updated with the firmware updates.

 

yet I can run .elf files on my ps3 through swap magic. and team ice released a elf 2 self program.

 

You are correct,however the files are useless as nothing can be done with them,also you have to realise the protection on the PS3 is quite strong,nothing has yet been able to get past the HyperVisor.

Also even if it where possible to mod the PS3 with PS2 homebrew that would leave a vast amount of PS3 users without a moded PS3,as the 40GB and new 80GB have no PS2 emulation which would be needed.

 

i guess that'd be their loss. you also have to consider that people want it badly because some people just can't afford 60 dollars for every game.

 

$60 isnt a great amount of money.
Where i live they are $80 and there are countries where the games are $160,simply if you cant afford the games dont buy the console,you also have to consider that Sony makes nothing on the sale of the console,all their profits are tied to the sale of games.

I do want a modded/hacked PS3 and not for piracy but for homebrew.

 

listen i feel and sort of felt the same way. Sony loses a lot of money on making a PS3 but those costs are slowly coming down. their only means of making money is software. thats why i modded my 360 so i could play the multiplatform games i didn't feel like wasting money on, and i hate the 360 so i don't burn any of its exclusives. if homebrew came to the ps3, it would still create a loader of some sort fore sure. i personally like playing mario on my ps3 for fun and having swap magic helps.
