just incase u didnt know about these

Is this real???

yeah its real i just tried it out on my ps3 i only tried the disc size option cuz i dont have an external hdd to try backing isos

the blu-rays i have are resistance, dark kingdom, silent hill, talladega nights, and jay and silent bob strike back it read them all and gave me the disc sizes for all of them (no other blu-ray drive though so i cant be sure if its accurate) the movies werwe around 21gb dark kingdom was under 9gb and resistance was around 17gb

maybe this is how the paradox loader will work

this seems like a big leap for homebrew

check it out you can even check the files on a bd-rom on your pc using your ps3s ip.

and it seems it does give you the correct size of the disc inserted i put a couple of dvd movies in the ps3 and it gave me the right size of the disc
