  • 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.

      I guess that depends if (however they're actually getting them!) they've grabbed a debug eboot for it.....

      And people like still doesn't get that a versus game without patches is stupid. Unbalanced crap as hell , enjoy playing your single campaign with less features than the real game plus if you want to do a versus match forgett about balanced patches.

      well from what ive read on both threads it appears as if the bd-r disks are pressed with part of the secret/magic whatever the hell they want to call it when someone gets ahold of a bd-r for this they need to scan and find out who the manyfacturer is. if you cant burn it it has to be pressed in the manufacturing process. like has been done with other copy protections that involveed bad sectors etc. maybe a debug option in a bd drive can read and rip the secret from the blanks. i might be way off but its an idea.

      Why bother pressing the games if the debug eboots work that great ? I'm feeling something is wrong here ... Did anyone manage to decrypt those damn eboots and try to run the games from HDD ? If it doesn't work, this means that not only special eboots are required (and if they're debug, Sony WILL stop it, and very soon) but you need to press BD-R in a special way in order to play = bull crap that no one is going to do.

      Who designed the BD standard? Sony. So it's possible they implemented a security layer of some sorts into the disk specifications. One that True Blue guys are working around by manufacturing a modified version of the disk. It actually sounds like something sony would do.
      Just a thought..

      there are manufacturers of disks in indonesia if they are producing the bd-rs themselves and pressing this into them then that would make sense why the special bd-r disks are required. I saw where a post said that users of the dongle had tried burning the images provided by that site and they didnt work and all that bart has said leads it to be something more than just what is on the dongle and what is burned to the bd-r i think the eboot does have something to do with it but the bd-r itself holds part as well to make it usable. even the OP said this on this thread that the bd-r disks are required for it to work.

      Yes I will enjoy it since I don't do versus matches only campaigns.

      Moot point since the game is unplayable without OFW, whether its on the trackers or not. If you've been paying attention, all current releases are showing up on trackers, and almost none of them are playable even now. However, this is the first progress made (read: shared) in months and gives me hope, even if the current method is completely asenine.

      I was wondering. This cost money, right?Would it be possible for a hacker to buy a True blue then exploit it somehow? And post all over the web for everyone to download it for free?

      just type xbox reset glitch into google, all xbox 360s are now able to run unsigned code, with the necessary hardware hack, so soon new versions of jtag will come out, just a pity you have to open the xbox and mess around inside. But it is becoming more appealing the longer i wait on a new ps3 cfw.

      This is exactly why I revived my xbox from RROD

      yea theres also a ODD emulator that allows hdd to play backups on the 360 and much easier than having to solder the jtag wiring its called x360key but yea this thread is going OT.

      Because this is clearly a company that is going to profit from piracy, and it seems they are going to be supported for it.

      i wont be supporting them if a workaround isnt found i wont be spending my money on a burner and disks to play the newer games. either im going to upgrade and lose my ability to use homebrew and linux or do without. but the game would have to be well worth it.
      plus the cost of the original.
    1. kronwhon's Avatar

      I won't be supporting them either. I won't tell you I've never participated in piracy, but I will say that I've never supported profiteering from piracy. Someone will release a free method eventually. I can be patient. This is exciting, though. For a while there it looked like nobody was even working on getting new games to work.
