PSX-SCENE Forum Discussion for Sony PlayStation/PsOne/PS2/PS3/PSP/PS VITA
  • RUMORS/FACTS - New TB Dongle, E3 Announcement, New Team ?!?!

    When the PS3 scene heats up, boy does it heat up. The internet is filled with rumors in the air, and hard to find facts here and there. Let's start with the new TB dongle; rumor for now, or at least all speculations. Lightake had posted a comment on their website, saying there was going to be a new replacement dongle coming soon, and goes even farther to say that the dongle will have additional support features. Does this mean TB Dongle v2.0, or does this just mean they are simply revising their dongle once again (TB Dongle v1.4?)?

    True Blue JB2 was stopped producing but a newer replace DRM dongle with build-in ndw function will be released in July, please pay close attention to TB official site news update in recent days. Anyone who wants to talk about the upcoming dongle, just visit our forum via this link:
    Also, I have received some more information from vitarelis, where a moderator for Lightake said the following:

    I must say sorry to you guys because we suddenly received the notice, not only lightake but all shops have to stop selling TRUE BLUE JB2 Dongle. Now we got two choices: 1. keep waiting for ship the newest DRM dongle instead of the old one when it's released in July; 2. contact our customer service for a refund. BTW,We have pre-ordered hundreds of new dongle, lightake will get the first batch of goods in stock then.

    Perhaps this does meaning TB is gearing up for round 2 of the dongle wars. TB vs E3 coming soon to theater near you (hint: it's a drama . But competition can be good, so let's get on to E3. The scene's inside connection with the underground teams, GaryOPA, has stated the following:

    As I will be posting some great E3 news later this week. Also there been alot of work behind the scenes from three different groups in bringing finally some action to the ones that can't downgrade or are stuck on non-jailbreak-able market. -- The market for 3.55 is growing smaller everyday.
    He mentions a third team, and I do not think he is talking about Cobra. I wonder who it will be. And as for the news, we will just have to wait and see. Here is some more information on E3, and the future of the scene, that I have put together.

    E3, a team that has been in the scene since the late 3.41 JB era of the PS3, which has went on to develop methods to downgrades, and dual boot your consoles. We recently told you they were back, and better than ever before; meaning this time they brought gifts. And they also brought a list of goals which included bringing more EBOOT patches that anyone can, plus they have stated they are developing the next 4.20+ CFW themselves.

    For those of you who were late for show, this scene really began when a dongle called the PS Jailbreak was released (which luckily was reversed pretty quickly), which helped users exploit the PS3 farther by releasing the first CFWs. These CFWs for 3.55 were put together but team work and communication, and now to this day it is what users have on their PS3s.

    Now, it seems getting past the "4.11" hurdle has been everyone's attempt at their claim to fame, but with a team that works so closely with the PS3 consoles by offering multiple tools to the sceners.

    Now here is where the tricky part comes in. For those of you who where with me when Sony started the lawsuit frenzy against PS Jailbreak, you know the PS3-Scene was in no way drama related; it was not until the free CFW came out that the scene filled with anger and hate. If this team does break that 4.11 barrier, a lot of people are going to be running to the scene to see what is happening.

    I am predicting it, just look at my avatar, the year is PSX-SCENE a.d. v0.2!

    And then when people have everything once again... are they still going to complain? Why they f***ing hate?!?!? At the end of the day, Sony is just going to try to patch the exploit, and people will start to whine and leave.

    tthousand's tthoughts - I have been done with buying dongles for a long time now (last was Cobra), I would rather donate to the individuals helping make the scene dongle free. Devs likes CrashSerious, and oxt0xor. It is a shame with so many people using all the advances in the scene, these people who contribute absolute masterpieces do not get more credit(card) for their work. I think it is time we start thinking of better ways to promote our developers, that is the only way we can enhance the scene. Otherwise it is what it is, puzzled.

      Even if someone does break past 4.11, they are a little late. I would like to see some progress in all of the Playstation scenes, and I'll be tuning in at the best Playstation site, PSX-Scene!

      My prediction. If TB releases a new dongle, which if you want to access certain features you would need to upgrade; than, they better be releases something else or they are going to look real bad. And knowing plenty of people who like money, that's not the way one would go

      the scary thing to me is that when this new dongle does come out, will that mean that the old dongle will not play the games that come out from then on making it a mandatory buy.

      that's what I'm thinking but trying to wait and see what the official announcement is. No new dongle for me. Too long in between patches lately, no game updates, a lot of stuff just doesn't work on their firmware like the recently cracked PS3UserCheat.

      I'm glad I bought my TB, but have no interest in buying another

      There isn't really any reason that TB's current dongle can't do whatever features they are apparently coming out with.

      Most people who would buy a TB have done already, so they aren't really making any money anymore so they of course release a new dongle so they start selling again...

      Saw this coming.

      Not to start a fight or anything but STFU Buying another console doesn't solve a damn thing. It doesn't get a 4.20 PS3 Jailbreak it doesn't get the newest PS3 exclusives. It's not a solution to the problem it's an alternative. however the problems microsoft user face are usually fixed quick because in the Xbox scene information is distributed freely there is no DRM dongle Bullshit.....

      gotta love the microsoft fandom on a playstation site. for every problem with the ps3 I can list 5 with the 360. But seeing as I bought a PS3 because that's what I wanted to own and play, unless people are willing to donate to buy me a hacked 360 let's stay on topic. Nowhere did tthousand mention microsoft and a sideways step is not a solution

      Apparently, if you live in the US, don't own the console you bought, you are merely renting it.

      I bought all three consoles because they each had games I wanted to play.

      Anyway, I am tired of all the dongles. My PS3 only has 2 USB ports and one is already occupied by my USB Flash drive. Sure I bought an E3, x3max (not sure of the name) and a Teensy until CFW 3.55 came out and the dongles were useless. I have too many problems with TrueBlue to list here. Plus I don't want to start a bashing contest here.

      Let's see what these teams will come out with.

      I would encourage anyone reading this comment to read your post history on TB. Are you finally admitting TB makers are actually not the great people you normally repeatedly state they are?

      GaryOPA is a trusted man, I don't think the third group will be Cobra, may be some one else, some one we never heard about !!

      I would suggest that you read my post history as well. I never kissed their ass in any way shape or form. Aside from joking around with some members here and a love for testing things and helping people work out their tech problems you never see me talking about TB with the exception of helping people getting it running or when people start bitching about so-and-so game wasn't patched or when will this game be patched when it's only been 2 days after the last set of patches. It is what it is. Like it - great. Hate it - great.

      Yes, I own one, but I'm on Rebug firmware at the moment and have been for a while.

      Please, by all means look through the thousands of posts I've made and see what small percentage actually has anything to do with TB and then see how many of those are basically just tech support and tell me how many you're left with. It's a safe bet not that many

      But anyways, last I checked I was grown so I really don't owe an explanation to anyone. It's real easy to take something out of context but by all means look at my posts as a whole and get back with me
