They are also releasing PB2 HDDs, which come filled with games; it is easy to see why I have not included this information in the report. I am surprised none of the other guys have thought of this; I mean, they are releasing dongles geared towards pirates or people who cannot obtain a second PS3.

Not only does it look like a cheap knock-off with the plastic casing, but they're just another knock-off that don't even have the decency to use their own code in the PS3 firmware, the dongle firmware or the patches. Just when the TB team got back on track these guys are gonna cause another delay for the people that actually bought the real deal.

I did notice that the latest games aren't on their list of downloads.I honestly hope they can't play the latest games and are just a repackaged clone/counterfeit. Remember people, you're gonna get what you pay for

I seriously hope that this clone wont be able to play any new games. This clone madness should stop unless someone takes a step and makes a dongle different from TB with their own eboots. In that case no problem, go on and find your customers not steal them... I am TB OWNER and I am proud of it :-) i bought it when there was few clones around for cheaper and people werent talking that those clones couldnt play newer games. But i still bought TB and supported real developers.

I just find it amusing reading about TB and the CloneWars, TB is the team that will WIN, people don't realize that they will do anything to protect their work and they have the means and knowledge how to do it. So wasting money on a knockoff is just pointless, TB are in it for the Money and so are the others so that argument is not valid. They are the ones releasing EBOOT's no one else. ohh someone might say the Batman and Ace game where someone else, but wasn't thous extracted form the TB discs? Well any how support the people who know what they do, rather Quality over Quantity. TB = Quality

**BahumatLord** · 05-16-2012,02:21 AM

yes and no on Batman and Ace Combat. Yes, they were extracted from the TB discs using a debug console, but they were also edited to run from a hard disk. It wasn't a simple copy process.

TB is gonna win, but in the meantime the delays because of the knockoffs just hurt the customers. They (the clones) just need to make their own patches or stop pissing in my cornflakes

Well there are two new teams producing eboots so only time will tell what the deal is but the PS3Break have been cloners since day one with who knows how many JB1 devices they made. There was a dongle, then like six dongle/usb hubs, then the PS3Cheat. So who knows maybe someone else will start making eboots that work for all dongles as they may not be tied with TB/Paradox and only those eboots may contain harmful code to mess with cloners. At least there is some sort of movement in the scene. I was overwhelmingly happy to see two new teams this week.

**Bodom87** · 05-16-2012,03:20 AM

There isnt any movement in the scene though. Atm it is just TB doing what the people want (making new games available) and cloners trying to jump on the money bandwagon. They are also going to fail because they don't have the knowledge to back up their product.

Im glad i bought a real true blue dongle. Sure what they have done is controversial but i respect them in the sense that they have stuck by their product and continue to fight off the cloners. Now all people need to do is stop being cheapasses and buy the real thing rather than buying a clone and then bitching about it

Everyone that installs CFW has pirated a game at one time and if someone says otherwise I call BS. So whether you are pirating games with or without a dongle you are just a guilty. Everyone just wants everything given to them is all. They don't contribute with even intellectual post but when can I get this for free or the scene should be free when they don't even truly understand the "scene" as modchips or now dongles as even the 360 seems to have one now have been needed since day 1 of pirating as soon as burnable media became a reality. So what is so different now then then? Only thing I see is they are a lot cheaper now days as a PS2 chip when new was $75 for a good one and the Xbox was the same way. Heck even a chip for the Sega Saturn still will cost you close to $50. Only with the DC did we see it all for free and that is only because the exploit required all the work with removal of protection and downsampling for end user to enjoy. As a Dreamcast cracker myself it isn't for the faint of heart, and the DC has some protection we still haven't bypassed but that is not what this is about /end rant.

Good & bad, good cause concurrence will reduce the price, bad cause this will make team trueblue waiting for releasing new eboots !!
TB are the best developpers atm, all other teams are just stoling their work !! that's the bad part in this story !
IF you want new games, buy a TrueBlue original dongle
