I dont consider myself cheap. However... I dont see myself taking apart a hundred and something dollar purchase in less than a week of getting it. lol way to go.

People are going well out of their way to see and figure out how this is done.

**thumbs up**

well as far as how you know to Assemble and disassemble this stuff then there is no risk at all

looks like a cheap pen... all the plastic around it :\

Seems like a controller with some amount of flash built in for storage. Pads at the back for easy programming. The "dongle" has probably reached cloners by now LOL. Definitely not a simple USB drive though.

Yeah. But seems like its a cheap enough IC. With a preprogrammed Sony licensed code it just sends to the console. Hardly be long before its cloned AND for cheap in china ;)

Looks like an FPGA with a timing crystal. You think it's doing some kind of rolling code handshake or challenge/responses instead of just when you first boot it up?

If this is just a usb-jig, then it's only function is to unlock service mode and keep the machine in that state. If that's the case, having it loaded with correctly timed rolling code would make a lot of sense, and given the amount of security that's already in the ps3 I wouldn't put it past sony to do this.

oh for sure. it only took like 6 months for a cheap ipad clone. this will also follow suit and come outta china very cheap in no time.

Ah yeah, didn't see the timing crystal at first. You'd need someone with access to the dongle to test it by removing it while the system is running.

Big difference between a full ipad clone and something as simple as this. The hardware can be sourced easily, and dumping the software side is as simple as sniffing the serial bus.
