Hack: PS3 Backup Launcher V.001 Alpha (Work in Progress) |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Sony
Ó
According to the developer, this application will enable users to copy games directly to the console's HDD. The launcher does so by copying the game files into a folder it creates in the HDD, much like how PSN game demos are loaded into the console. As CJPC further elaborated:
The games are then launched using a relevant call, such as sceNpDrmProcessExitSpawn or sys_game_process_exitspawn2 (depending on location) and the loader then passes control off to the game, where it is run from.
The bad news is that this launcher is still very much in the pre-Alpha, and will only run on a Developmental PS3. It will not run on the console's retail version. That said, here's what the launcher can currently do:
- Boot PS3 Games from HDD
- Boot PS3 Games from DVD/BD-ROM
- Copy Original PS3 Games from DVD/BD-ROM to HDD
- Patch the executable on some games to run from HDD

Exploring the HELL out of the dev units is how they'll find exploits for the retail units.
Duh!

Homebrew is important, because it lets the community to be able to create their own innovated games, but Sony might do the same as Microsoft did with xna, and letting others play the games on their xbox via download service. I would play a few dollars to play a game created by the community.
Why spend money on the system that may be useless once it is able to be hacked. You can be banned the same way as the 360. Just because online is free on the ps3 doesnt mean sony wont make any rules using their online service. So that was stupid to say u want the ps3 to be hacked and not the xbox just because of online.

And this HAS been done, lurk moar!
There is no security on the devkits, it's really not gonna do a lot except develop a toolchain for when we can get the hypervisor on a retail PS3 to accept unauthorised code entirely.

This hack is also pointless. Hope anyone who uses this gets caught.

That can certainly be your opinion but it's not a well informed one.
"the ps3 is meant to play ps3 games, next gen games."
It was also meant to play not so NextGen PSN games and PS2 games.
"I wonder why people would buy a ps3 and play ps2 games?"
Would someone buy a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing PS2 games? I doubt it. But if you need scenarios as to why someone would play PS2 games on their PS3 here you go:
1. They still have the PS2 game and would like to play it again.
2. There are some PS2 games that they skipped and never played or just never had the time to play and want to play them now.
3. Lets now forget the games being made for the PS2 and NOT the PS3.
I'm all about #2, I'm currently playing FF12 as I never played it before. Next will be DMC3.
"If you want to play ps2 games you might as well should've kept your ps2"
That's a major assumption. You assume they owned a PS2. Plus you assume they have an unlimited amount of video/audio hookups in their entertainment system.
"Its the future yet people want to stay stuck in the past"
Stuck in the past? All of 1 year ago? Months ago if you count PS2 games being created that aren't for the PS3?
BC is about CHOICE. Why take choice away from people? That's silly.

I can see ONLY playing ps2 games on a ps3, but I'm currently playing a couple ps2 games on my ps3 as well as PS3 games. Not to mention there are loads of games being released for both, with the PS2 version being cheaper to buy.
Your opinion is pretty ridiculous, you're one of those people that refuse to play old, (and good) games simply because of bad graphics huh.

2. You don't have to open up your PS3 "monster". The HDD slides into the unit from the side. The owners manual that comes with the PS3 shows you how to change out your HDD.
