PS Jailbreak

[reakt]

All that aside, I'm wondering where that gameplay video is they were talking about yesterday, wasn't it being encoded today? an entire day passed and there's no gameplay video yet, kind of bummed, it's good to keep your viewers/buyers/fans entertained.

There's been one up since the second day:

also idk if this is possible but since you can emulate/simulate mirco controllers on pc why dont you try using a psp. So instead of using a jig u use ur psp to simulate the microcontroller since standard usb elements wont work to copy this copy(jailbreaks are just clones of ps3 jigs)

Easier said than done...for starters, attempts to dump the chip's contents have failed, and that's necessary for the emulator to emulate anything useful. then if non-standard usb protocol is used, that has to be reversed engineered...etc.

yea i heard they cant get the device to be recognized as its not standrad usb in windows and linux as it doesnt identify itself as a usb storage device i jus thope someone can dump the micro controller itself but that would entale hooking it up to a differnet chipset board that can be identified and hopefully being able to extract the data

...The second method is through JTAG'ing which, though I'm not familiar with it, allows you to run unsigned applications but I don't think you can play games off of external storage...

Interesting analogy, kinda strange, but each to their own i guess!
Just FYI, you can in fact load games and home brew of external FAT32 or HFS+ formatted drives

Just in case someone wants to check out the file structure of a ripped game with PS Jailbreak...

It looks like that the backup manager just extracted the bluray disc content on a hard drive on the game code specific folder.
if this is done without any encryption on the game or hard drive the pirates will just upload the game on the web from their harddrive .
it will be not hard to find out how to share this.
looks like pirates will attack on PS3 games soon.

EDIT:
oops i forgot about the fat32 4gb filesize limit the backup manager can't just extract the files over 4gb.
the backup manager need to deal with 4gb filesize limit and the only way to do that is split the files into several parts.

NICE!! I am SO looking forward to this..been waiting a long time for a PS3 jailbreak..so this better be the real deal..now question is how come some games can be backed up and work while others cant..that is what is a concern

Wow the loading speed for GTA 4 was nice! Usually it doesn't load until the picture of the chick leaning in the car.

Has anyone actually tried to load a game from the backup manager without a retail disc in the drive? Wouldn't mind someone reporting what happens with that, cheers
