  • Jailbreak 2 Officially Named "True Blue" - 3.56+ Games

    Recent reports have been met with skepticism regarding the JB2 (Jailbreak 2) dongle. We have reported many updates and some have concluded that this "rumor" has some validity while others still remain on the fence. Another update comes to us regarding this much spoken about dongle with news regarding some rather surprising features. Below is the feature list for TRUE BLUE.



    To Quote:
    ‘True Blue’ features:
    • Booting of games from v3.6+ (up to v3.73) from special BD-R discs available from official resellers
    • Runs games up to v3.56 from HDD in conjunction with ‘backup managers’
    • Does not require the Power/Eject trick
    • Custom v3.55 Dongle firmware behaves like OFW when ‘True Blue’ is not inserted
    • Manufactured from highest grade components and Actel based
      Durable and high quality metal case design
    • Tough and durable plastic packaging
    • Further features to be added as they are developed
    • On board 2 MBytes SPI flash
    • Supports Fat and Slim consoles currently running any firmware up to v3.55
    • And any PS3 which can be downgraded from v3.6+ to v3.55 (NOTE: Requires other tools, ‘True Blue’ currently can’t downgrade a Console)
    • Supports all regions of consoles
    • Supports all regions of ISO’s to be released
    • Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing
    • The ‘True Blue’ dongle allows booting of the latest the ISO’s (3.6+) from special BD-R discs which can be purchased from all official resellers.
    • The discs can be burned by any BD-R recorder and there are no special requirements on either PC or BD burner types.


    Whilst we can disclose that the discs are specially manufactured to allow booting of the latest ISO’s, further technical information on the way by which the BD-R discs can allow booting cannot be provided, for obvious reasons.

    GaryOPA:

    The special BD-R discs being SOLD are BLANK, they are not ‘warez’ in some cases less shady ‘modshops’ operating in countrys like Asia or Spain were local law enforcement turn a blind eye to ‘flea market’ operators they may infact FILL the disc with ‘information’ turning the blank disc into ‘warez’, but that is not fault of the ‘True Blue’ designers, and those places will NOT be offical resellers. — Information and pricing and list of ‘official resellers’ will be forcoming in new news post later this week once details are confirmed.

    Second, there is alot more ‘games’ working then the 5 listed in the forums and emails from the original JB2 rumors, and the full list over all the tested games will be published once it is official and confirmed by us, don’t trust other sources of information there alot of people out there trolling and passing around mis-information still for various reasons.

    Third, even tho there is effort to ‘crack’ this dongle already even tho it is not in the actual hands of any of the people posting information about it, there is alot of stuff unknown about how and why it works and for many reasons we can’t give further technical information but there is ‘KEY’ reason why you have to buy special BLANK BD-R discs, due to some background research on the Blu-Ray specs. and maybe you understand why this is only way to get your dreams filled on running the latest v3.60+ games on your PS3 correctly!
    If I were you I would wait till the dust settles, let others be the "guinea pigs" before jumping onto the bandwagon.

      Appears to be pretty simple. Apparently the dongle itself is just DRM so I would expect this to be completely cloned in software. Don't bother wasting your money on these.

      Sounds lame since it requires BD-disks to play 3.6+ games, we Want to run games from HDD, Backed up BD-disks is not appealing

      No, with this method currently you can't run games off the HDD. The discs they're selling have something "special" within the un-writable (unless you have the right equipment) sector of the disc. It's this, in combination with the dongle and CFW that makes it all work.

      If atleast originals worked this would be intresting. Now we need to make a copy of our originals just to play them. The extra cost will make people to jump over the original altogether. Hope Sony wakes up and lets us atleast play originals on a 3.55 Console. They really shouldn't force people to update to play newer games. Forcing people to buy another console updated or to update it is just wrong. Just the TOS itself is wrong.

      I have always bought the games I played, Some games that I loved I bought to several systems just to make sure there will be a next one. Sony is making it impossible. If they don't let me play originals I stop buying them. And I stay my ground no matter what.

      Sony will make everyone into a pirate. No way I buy the original If I need to buy special disks and still put away money for a new laser. It's getting to expensive. The optimal way would be to buy originals and play them of hardrive, a close number two is to play them from the disk without updating. But forcing me to buy a new laser is enough, forcing me to buy a whole new system is totally wrong.

      I don't want to debate with people if pirating is stealing however I heard somewhere that stealing from thieves isn't wrong atleast no morally. If this becomes possible we will still pay for our games however to the wrong people, and there is no way I will pay twice, it's up to Sony to change the games so I can buy them from them. Considering the few Playstation only games I want to play the whole package will still be more expensive then buying Uncharted 3 Original. Need the dongel and special disk Blu Ray burner etc.

      The Burner I will be able to use for other things but the burner itself is like the price of 2 original games. I am afraid we will not get a number 4 of the game, atleast if they don't switch to XBOX. If we don't buy the game maybe the developer stops developing for sony. Lets hope so, it would be a shame if they stoped making games altogether.....

      I am a proud owner of Uncharted 1 and 2 on original disk....

      This method seems like way too much work for way too little payout. Good news is, now that someone has made headway, someone else is bound to find a better way. This reminds me of PS JailBreak all over again. SONY's lawyers are probably scrounging every bit of Indonesian law right now, and are likely just waiting for suppliers to pop up in other countries. This won't last long I think, but the methods will make it out there for others.

      Forget the lawyer part and the law

      Erm.. i cannot read anything more new on this news than what he said days ago, on launch in indonesia, claiming his product to indonesian customers. And we all talk about what we can read , yet, on an other thread. Am i wrong?

      This is just a debug eboot method. It stupid and won't last long plus it isn't compatible with the game updates and is glitched. If you play fighting games or any game who need rebalance or patch in order to get features like mortal kombat you are ****! because newest updates still needs 3.60. Do you reallythink you will be able to play uncharted 3 with this shit? xDD keep dreaming.

      At least it will give us few new games to play for a while until real dual boot comes.

      Uncharted 3 is already on private trackers so I imagine it is on public trackers too. With this in mind, do you really think they won't get Uncharted 3 working not the files for it is released? Sony don't have time to "patch" the disc, only a update and not installing a update doesn't stop you from playing it.
