TeaM AC1D has announced that they know the secret behind the True Blue dongle and in the process calling the True Blue a scam. They explain that no real code is used but rather files from higher firmware and some of these files are compatible with older firmware, although the ones that don't work need a little fixing. Below is an extract.

To Quote:

Finally, after a long period of a scene that got riddled and raped by money hungry dongle suppliers we uncover this big scam and show you how things like the true blue dongle actually work.

First of all, non of the code used comes from the true blue creators. All files used come directly from higher PS3 firmwares.

All you need to do is place them in the right folder and thats it. Of course this does not work with all the procdure quiet games so easy, some of the 3.6 + games load right away, otheres need some fixing.

They are basically charging you money for a small custom firmware, i would call it the biggest scam the ps3 scene a lot has ever seen and we have seen.

This scam needs to be stopped and we should all join hands to finally put to end to all of this. Use this information and do what you have to do.

Now lets sit back, await a release of the method so we can get our own legally purchased games running on custom firmware.

Thanks to psx-scene members tulla and itzViolence for the news submission.

Point still stands: Quit forcing shit down your own throat, when you don't like it.

All i can say is my god your english is crap,
Didn't understand half of it, but it sounded like you were crying. So wipe your tears!
I advise you to go back to school and learn some serious english, before it gets much worse for you, if it already hasn't.

Pretty sure that depends on which model you have, and what firmware it is on.

Don't tell me they got that splinter cell savegame/linux hack working again. Apparently he knows something the rest of us don't. I don't know which models Ahou was talking about but I thought all models needed some kind of additional hardware

If you don't RGH your xbox and just flash dvd drives you don't need any kinda of hardware and even RGH your box is tons cheaper then True blue and can play every game unlike the true blue your stuck waitng on them and hoping they can fix the next game.I use to have my ps3 hacked but it's pointless since you can't play all your games plus a good chunk of ps3 games is on xbox anyways i only buy the games that on ps3.

flashing dvd drives still needs additional hardware if your pc doesn't have a suitable SATA interface. Most people have laptops these days and not towers/desktops to do that kind of mod anyway so you would need a connectivity kit. Not only that, instead of being able to play games off of the 360 hard drive that method requires a bunch of blank dvd's so no matter how you look at it, modding a 360 still costs money. There is no way around spending money. The people that say 360 is better because you don't need dongles are misguided b/c you still gotta break out your wallet no matter what. I've said it before that i will NEVER buy a TrueBlue because it offers no additional functionality other than piracy. I'm on Rebug 3.55.2.6. The only thing I had to do was download a new firmware file - no flashers, no dongles, no extra cables - nothing. The only additional hardware I bought was a bigger hard drive to store my backups but that was something I wanted to do, not something I had to do. So what a handful of the newest games aren't playable and so what we can't get on PSN. The newest games are being patched or will be available soon enough and PSN sucked to start with in my opinion so no loss there. The cheapest way I know of modding a 360 is jTagging - it's about $6 worth of wires/etc but not everyone can solder and it only works on a few models. If you go to one of the modchip retailers, you'll see dozens of different items for the 360 and nowadays only the cobra and the trueblue for the ps3. What does that say? It just all boils down to preference. Oh - and I'm not stuck waiting on them for the next game, I've got plenty that I haven't even booted up yet so I've got plenty of entertainment available. If you never played something, then it's new to you right?

have over 600 games that didn't cost a dime.

My suggestion: Some things are better left unsaid. Why would you draw a bulls-eye on your forehead? Please don't answer that. It's not meant to be a question. It's to make you think before you say anything more revealing.

What i meaning is once you Jtag old method yes this does work on older console but RGH works on all except for launch console.but what im saying it's a one time fee to RGH your xbox then you can run to gamestop or whereever you buy your games at rip to your hdd and not have to worry will this work or do i have to go out and buy true blue or whatever the next pay hacked going be for ps3.
