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.

    Laugh Now, Cry Later; Or, Just Be A f***ing Hater!

      About damn time TB started listening to me and started to make a newer dongle. (Not that I would buy it) As for the 360 references on a PlayStation site dont hate 360 is the better console when it comes to gaming and online and hacks. Only reason why PlayStation 3 is the better console is because of the blu-ray player and the ps3 exclusives. But 360 always owned PlayStation when it comes to WAREZ so to even mention 360 scene in this laughable ps3 scene is really retarded. The reason why I said that the ps3 scene is laughable and pathetic is because shit like this. Hell if you look at my previous posts I think I was TB #1 Fanboy (Kurt Angles Voice: It's true it's damn true) But hell even I think enough is enough with the DRM dongles. Hell no matter what team it is you STILL have to wait on them unlike 360 you can play that new game on release date so @Mike sorry bro but a 360 is better when it comes to piracy (Which what 90% of people on here care about) so that would be a smart solution.

      I honestly lost all hope for the ps3 scene. All it has amounted to is just DRM dongles. For me it's not about the piracy because my RGH 360 haves that covered. The reason why I lost hope for the ps3 scene is because the lack of development. (Everyone cares about making newer games work) Nobody cares about seeing like a N64 Emulator/Dream Cast/Master System/PS1 bypass with save support/ and the list goes on and on. The PS3 haves alot of power than a 360 so the ps3 can be used but people are not interested in the scene anymore. Hell everyone knows if you want to play games buy a 360 why waste time buying a ps3 when the scene is a joke. I miss the 3.41 days on the ps3 because that was the best highlights this scene had to offer I haven't seen any significant news since that PCB blur-ay rumor. But besides that was back 2 years ago when Geohot/Failoverflow found the keys that was back in Dec.2010.

      To all people in denial read here:

      When Geohot/Failoverflow got sued the Ps3 scene died with it. Math then left Kakaroto gave up... only man standing is Deank the scene is alive when it comes to applications but it is dead when it comes to newer development such as emulators and etc..etc.. which NONE have been produced since 2 years ago. (Yeah I keep track of the ps3 scene like that ) But nobody should complain you still got 85-90% of the ps3 games that you backed up that you still didnt play yet. So stop trying to keep up with 360 when it comes to this jailbreaking stuff. If you dont watch blu-ray or play ps3 exclusives (Killzone,Uncharted,God Of War) why are you wasting you time with a ps3? Sell that shit and get a 360 LOL

      I am always excited for new stuff.
      If the new dongle has some sweet new features.
      I will buy it.

      JBK/PB2 just cracked TB 2.7 update.
      True Blue can not be expected to continue to create eboots for their product.

      @Jalaeme
      I can confirm Sonic Generations DOES work with the normal 3.55 kamew bypass about pc gaming you will end up spending more money than just buying a RGH for like 200-300 bucks.

      @Warning
      If that is true then that was TB's only Smart thing to do. Alot people will piss/shit on TB for making a newer dongle but eventually they will buy it or end up buying a 360.

      It is nice that some people are starting to realise what TB's priorities are.

      What do you guys think the sales on TB's new dongle will be like? If they are producing hundreds according to lighttake, do you think they will actually sell that many from how many people they are pissing off?

      yes sonic generations working on 3.55 but if you use the cheat codelist 6.0 and load the game it will not work until you install the patch 1.01 which is signed with 3.60 keys....

      not really, with the specs i am buying they will last me a couple of years, there is only a few games i want to use it with anyway, at least with a pc you don't need a dongle or modchip to play games, you just install and away you go.

      Ive been thinking about a gaming computer but idk its too pricey. But the HDMI output would always beg to differ I have to think about it but for now consoles will do me fine.

      @Krytonic
      TB wont sell near as much they have did in the past I wish somebody just release the source code and put an end to all of this. Gotta put this scene out of it's misery once and for all.

      depending on what you are looking for you can get a gaming pc on a budget and still play all the latest games, even getting a pc just for the emulators and stuff is a good idea, and yes hdmi out with 1080p 32" is sexy enough for me consoles are fine for people who want it nice and simple but you have to put up with crap like the dongles and other restrictions, so choose your poison so to speak.

      Even more of a joke i mainly fill sorry for graf chokolo no news from
      Him either it was people like him that would of saved the seen but sony closd the doors onall the good devs with lawsuits
      And as for failoverflow they stated it was a fail on the ps3 system maybe was but sony quikly covered up there holes and new it will open again so they started taking lawsuits and blocked it from every direction thats why these drm dongles will always stay

      Developer does something marvellous and he is praised.

      Developer does something, maybe not so big that irritates stomachs full of [insert popular candy here] and [insert favourite energy drink here] and they [the praisers] go berserk on the developer.

      Why can't we all just smoke a bo.... erm, I mean, get along?

      First off the PS3 scene is far from a joke. It lacks devs willing to help out the massive numbers of whining bitches like you stussy so before you go around complaining and bitching about the scene why don't you try doing something for it? oh you cant? then as I stated before STFU no one cares what you think about the damn XBOX I do and always will hate the damn thing. I own 3 of them and last week just for shits I stuck a firecracker inside the disc drive of the one that RROD on me. and would do the same to the rest of em If I wernt TRYINg (Not having much luck) to sell the damn things. Everyone I know in the market for a console want a PS3 and I cant blame them I love my two PS3's. As Bahamutlord said there is no need for a good damned convo revolving around microsofts shit in a thread all about True Blue E3 and their Dongles.....

      As for you Goku I'm not out here to to voice my opinion I'm simply saying taking a step to the right isn't solving your problem its just going around it. Yes for those that just want to play the latest titles without any kind of extra crap then yes its a good choice but it doesn't solve the problems in the PS3 scene. and sitting here saying just buy an Xbox is way off from helping things. As I said I personally cant stand the thing but thats just me. As for the PS3 scene like I said it isn't a joke. It's been slow to flourish but then again like I said we lack devs that are willing to help out ungrateful shits and of course that are afraid of being sued.... As for comparing the two it's like comparing an apple to an orange. they are both fruit and sweet but they are two completely differant fruits. It's like trying to compare the iphone dev scene to that of a droid scene. there is no comparison the iphone scenes main focus is opening the platform for dev.... the droid is already completely open and readily developed on. So yeah thats my piece. you all can respond with what you like but I'm getting the **** outta here.
