PS Jailbreak

[xiaNaix]

Several sources are currently testing. PS3 games are quite large, so it takes time to install. We will have video as soon as it is confirmed actually working.

It will be interesting to see if it works on "ALL" games or just a select few.

Games take a while to dump....
it seems to go to 70~80% when 10 minutes
and then the last 20% takes a while

video will come, and will be posted here first, just be patient

Rumor has it that the "new generation of homebrew" is going to be built with an old leaked official SDK, at least initially.

Sounds like a progress bar that counts by number of files instead of amount of data; used to see those pretty regularly in old PC software installers. Some of the progress bars in licensed PS3 software are kind of quirky too, come to think of it.

thanks for the video oczmods.

question, is that ps3 a retail ps3 or a debug/xdk/etc?

[ozmodchips]

retail unit

got it free with a Sony TV promo
its a 40gb model (fat, as you can see)

I didn't expect to see a .BIK file; thought those died out some years ago, but visiting the website for Bink/Smacker/etc. makes it look like they're alive and well. Guess that shows how much I keep up with the commercial game development scene.

Anyway, did you need to take any special steps to format that USB drive, or does it "just work"?

Wow it really works. I just interesred to know like what is the price for this usb-chip and how to buy it?

[xiaNaix]

As soon as we have that info, we'll let you know.
