  • True Blue Dongle Update - Play 3.6+ Games from HDD

    Here is some news regarding the True Blue dongle that many were hoping for. Today reports came to me regarding the much spoken about dongle and to my surprise the need to burn the "special" Blue Ray discs is no longer needed. You can now run FW3.6+ games from your PS3 hardrive. I have yet to learn if external HDD support will be included but I don't see why not.


    To Quote:
    After much research and many hard long days at coding, the solid support team behind the 'True Blue' dongle have now been able to encode all the needed booting information which was previously needed on 'special' BD-R discs, to be included in the dongle's firmware memory, so now v3.6+ games will run correctly when also stored on your PS3 HDD.

    Now with this latest firmware update the dongle fully supports booting of all v3.6+ 'backups' to from PS3 HDD using existing 'backup managers' which the end-user will choose to install, making 'True Blue' dongle one of the most affordable ways to enjoy both your Jailbreak-able PS3 console and still play latest v3.6+ games on your v3.55 PS3 console.

    Here is list of v3.6+ games that have been confirmed working or will be when released:
    • Alice: Madness Returns
    • Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    • Battlefield 3
    • Bleach: Soul Resurreccion
    • Bodycount
    • Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012

    • Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
    • Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
    • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    • White Knight Chronicles II
    • WWE '12

    As some of you have noticed the above game titles list posted earlier by me contains some 'games' which are not pubicaly available yet, but the coders behind 'True Blue' have already confirmed, that these games will work based on certain 'key' information, but remember nothing is 100% but as you already see the developers are listening on the forums and supporting the needs of the end-us that is why I stated earlier there is 'solid support team' behind this product even tho it is 'commercial' it is build for the 'scene' and priced to be affordable and to be updated so fast so early since the first JB2 news broke, it shows that it indeed has strength!
    With all these updates, do we still have those who are doubtful about True Blue?

      I think this could be implemented into CFW, I'm curious about how they did it, although I have a few potential theories...
