More proof that booting games off the Hard Disk might be closer than we think!

Posted Dec 2, 2006 at 1:24AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: ISO, piracy, playstation 3 updates, Sony, Team Xecuter, XMB

While we covered the news of Team Xecuter announcing their new PS3 project- the Hypredrive, I was left wondering about the purpose of such humongous space. I mean, while I do have about 2TB of storage space on my PC, it's a PC after all. On the PS3, you'd be left searching for stuff to fill up the hard disk.

Or would you? Well, not according to Team Xecuter and Paradox, it seems. Paradox, while being a warez release group, have a lot of firsts to their credit, including the first PSP ISO dump, and the first PS3 BDRay dump, among other things. And if they are to be believed, the illegal scene is not far off from being successful at booting games off the hard-disk. For now, we have nothing but a small snippet of the release info courtesy of Maxconsole.

While we wouldn't know much until it was officially let out of the bag, I have a hunch that cracking the PS3 will be a bit easier than the Xbox360, simply because of the reason that its OS is pretty close to what we've had on the PSP. Second, a lot of file formats are identical to the respective PSP versions. And while the PS3 might have more security than a PSP, we can be sure that the first few firmware versions will still be pretty insecure.

And while we can't say that we're happy with the news, a part of me wants to rejoice simply because of the fact that the "scene" is hard at work on the PS3. And again, while piracy will be a big problem, you have to remember that a large contention of people will also be looking for homebrew on the PS3's XMB like on the PSP. Anyways, stay tuned for the latest updates!

This story sucks? This story rocks!

i prefer booting games off my ps2 hdd as it makes load times A LOT shorter, and its much easier to organize all my games with no need to swap.

this would be good with the ps3.

but i never bootleg off a new console, give the companies your money for at least a year or so, just so they wont stop making games since they no its gonna be bootlegged.

# At last... — 2k1yellows2k 2006-12-02 05:51

I can't wait for the emulators to start pouring out, whether it be on YDL or from the XMB! That's when I'll jump on the modding bandwagon.

# The end of PS3 Linux? — GunDag 2006-12-02 06:54

I just hope that Sony's inevitable response does not include the removal of the ability to install a second OS.

Fingers crossed!

# eh... — Guest 2006-12-02 07:28

sony will sure put a stop to this....no doubt about it...as a matter of fact, im gonna go and send this page to fraud@sony.com...

plus, my old xbox can do this already...

# This is well sad and gay! — Guest 2006-12-02 07:50

This really annoys me so bad. ISO and stuff like that is illegal and damages companies badly, take sega for example they went bust because of fraud. It annoys me so much that fanboys are so obbsessed with their next game they dont want to pay for it so they will steal it. Not only will this result in Sony becoming bankrupt or close, but it also damages great game devlopers who paid a lot of money to devlop a game that we will all enjoy. QJ shouldn't even be posting this! In fact im reporting both the devlopers who are doing this and Qj to sony now becuase it really annoys me!

# :) — Guest 2006-12-02 08:03

Don't worry, we don't cover piracy. But this is news, and like anything else, it has to be reported. At this point, it's nothing more than speculation on our part, and I think we have a right to that little bit of indulgence :)

# How rude :( — Guest 2006-12-02 08:05

How's the hard disk capacity on my PC related to getting laid? o_O

# hmmm.....annoys me too — Guest 2006-12-02 08:40

I dont mind some homebrew progs and games, but as long as there are tools being made that can also be used for hacking and illegal actions, there will always be people that will do just that. Maybe if all hte current developers of homebrew can come to an agreement not to make any possibly illegal tools or just protect their tools/programms then the industry won't be hurt.

I really like some Marvel vs Capcom (mame) on my future PS3, but i despise the fact that there will be illegal games out there because of the tools used to convert the mame emulator.

# bah. — Guest 2006-12-02 08:48

PS3rider .. you really need to get laid ..

# ps3rider — Mack Geofries 2006-12-02 08:48

i agree completely

reporting on it... essentially just advertises it to everyone who didnt' know about it before. "wow, you can do that? I'm gonna do it now!"

Ignorance is very bliss in the case...

# Don't mind him. — Guest 2006-12-02 10:46

He's probably just jealous because he only has a TB(or less) on his PC...or he's a closet nerd with like 10TBs(is that possible these days?) on his PC and thinks he is superior then you.

# ....FANBOY! — Guest 2006-12-02 10:50

....Do you honestly think your not a fanboy when all you do is Bash/Flame the PS3?

I'm with Reiji, how is it that your XBOX can play PS3 games?

# Sony's downfall... — Shatterdome 2006-12-02 11:49

Developers are already aprehensive about developing on the PS3....imagine if their 60 million dollar title would be easy bootlegged....PS3 will go down the toilet as far as 3rd party games go.

# yeah — Guest 2006-12-02 11:58

and ruin for the Europeans and Aussies

# ON what — Guest 2006-12-02 12:37

do the snes work on the playstation 3 xmb or the YDL?

# yesssss..... here we go...here we go — Guest 2006-12-02 13:06

one giant step towards..."i hate sony." all you sony fanboys... get ready to HATE your beloved company now.

# lol — Guest 2006-12-02 13:43

for as far as i know, there has been piracy around sony's consoles for about 10 years now...

I think the unchipped psx's in the world are countable on your left hand... You would need about 4 hands for the ps2's...

hope you see my point

And just wondering but why are non fanboys reading this site? I mean I never look at 360 sites so why you guys looking at this site........ guess its the twilight zone...

P.S. If you really want to be mean come up with something besides your gay and get laid since we have all heard that some time or another, so I guess be inventive and try a different prase ;)

# Sega piracy ??? are u nuts ??? — Guest 2006-12-02 21:35

Dude u r really stupid or naive ! Sony does not really care about piracy, even saying that they are against all the boot leg market and so on, and saying that they are loosing money in the console, it's big BS !

They are makeing it easyer to crack the console, to make it more popular ! Especially now with this console wars.

One reason Sega went down was exactly for making things more difficult for the mod comunity.

Man I still remember buying my first DVD player back in june 1997, ah Sony 7000, wrich had two small switches inside:

one do disable region coding

one to disable macrovison

hehehehhehe, get a life PS3Rider and go make complains and abuse reports to the Pope !

yea pretty much......I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR CONSOLE AND HOW ITS BETTER THAN MINE OR HOW MINES BETTER THAN YOURS.....xbox is gay & ps3 sux WHO GIVES A FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# concerning this.. — Guest 2006-12-03 01:40

this is beutifull

the fact that ps3 supports linux and 750Gb drive means its only a matter of time before we start using Iso to play game...and if someone manages to burn the iso to a blu-ray disc....that mean sony will make billions of dollars buy selling the blu-ray license to 3rd party makers....the fact is there are millions of people in the middle-east...parts of china and russia and many other locations that use pirated software...those are people that never buy official products and buy hundreds of pirated games and movies....if sony make a few cents from every blu-ray disc slod there....theyl make a fortune....they wouldnt be shooting themselves in the foot since those markets don buy official products anyway....so sony will get extra coin from sellin the blu-ray disc blanks in HUUUUUUUGE quantities....the game is over...sony wins....NEXT

# to the fools who think sony will fall.... — Guest 2006-12-03 01:50

god...you honestly think ps3 is going to fall because of priacy....????..how clueless you are....dont you know how much piracy both the ps2 and the xbox already have....???...did that stop the ps2 from regning supreme as the best console...????...in my above post i explained how sony will benefit from the piracy[yes...benefit]..once Isos are burned to a disc....sony will a fortune buy selling the blanks...even if few cents on each discs the amount of discs sold in middle east and parts of asia is HUUUUUUUGE.....as for official markets as in europe...unlike the ps2 the ps3 huge games of 15GB+ will be unlikely downloaded from the net....it would take too long...so sony wont be damaged from the piracy in europe...

well i guess sony did it again....long live sony...and i hope they burn the isos to a disc as fast as possible...God blessing on that

# wow — Guest 2006-12-03 02:19

Can you say "$ony Fanboy"?

You guys talk as if $ony is like the god of your lives or sumthing, and i quote "Long Live $ony"! WOW Who really cares, they're just video games, go outside, go for a walk, shovel some snow or sumthing. Seriously get a life.

# Sony will fall — Guest 2006-12-03 02:29

but not because of the games, but rather the blue ray format, one of the reasons for the creation of the blue-ray was to stop piracy, imagine that so early in it's lifetime a machine allows to hack + store movies in its hard disc, this is a problem with the big studios, to make movies to a format that had being break so easy, it can change the tide in the HD-DVD, Blue Ray Format.

# 'we can be sure that the first few firmware versions will still be pretty insecure' — Guest 2006-12-03 02:31

that's my reason for waiting a bit before getting myself a ps3

..they're a little spendy to be left vulnerable to hackers

# To the Fools who Insist That Sony is Failing.... — Guest 2006-12-03 03:12

blu-ray will stop or hinder piracy in the important region markets in countries that have proper copyright laws....A.K.A[those are the countries that are the big studios main concern]...like north america,europe...etc

since you cant gain acces to a blue-ray movie from those places..or its hard to gain acces..unlike the dvd you cant download torrents from the net due to speed and time...and you dont expect to buy pirated disc in the streets since thats unlikely to happen....so blu-ray will be far more secure in those markets....

as for the Other market..[the unofficaial ones..the ones that the big studios dont even know or care about]...places in middle-east.some spots of china,and asia...those will bring a fortune to sony by selling the blu-ray blanks...[as i mentioned above]

someone asked to take a walk...MY...MY...if you love to walk so much...then what are you doin here..???...why dont you go take a walk...too bad you want be replying since your probaly walkin by now or...[probably flyin]...

long live sony they did it again...Next

# ISO loading — Guest 2006-12-03 03:53

I do not want the PS3 to have ISO loading. think about it. If it is given ISO loading, than there will be no more good games for it, because the developers won't put a lot of money into their ps3 games. Would you make a game if you knew few people were going to buy the game, and many were going to pirate it? It happened to the psp. It has only a few good games. If you want your console to fail, than ISO loading is the easiest way to do it. Sony isn't against homebrew, it is against ISO loading.

Yes, I'm sure Sony would love not to sell any games, which would be their profit on the PS3, considering they LOSE MONEY WHENEVER THEY SELL ONE. Moron.

# fuc k you — Guest 2006-12-03 15:17

fuc k off fanboy, i want ISO loading and homebrew, bitc.h!

# balliki — Guest 2006-12-03 20:13

First of all. The term fanboy is queerer than AIDS. Secondly, I have a ps2, in fact I've had three of them and everyone I know that has had one has had to get another one. Their lifespan is short. I also have a xbox, the same one I bought on launch day, still tickin like a champion..... Could this be why they sold so many more units, when a guy has numerous games for a console allready they are pretty much screwed into buying the same console. This is why I won't get a ps3 for a few years until I get a feel for their reliability. If its anything like the ps2 no thank you. Can you imagine, if the ps2 was 600 dollars Id be 1,800 deep. Scary thought. For some reason I think Sony is aware of this dilema and its part of their scheme.

# BS — Oner001 2006-12-04 03:26

Funny how I have the exact opposite results....I have my ORIGINAL launch day PS2 that I still use as my main DVD player besides its use as a console. Meanwhile I have seen my friends Xbox's with DRE's , christmas lights (with no mods), and failure to even turn on.

My PS2 even has an old Messiah 2 modchip and it reads Princo 8x DVD-R's with no problems. Now I am not crapping on the Xbox as I have one that is modded and works fine but I have always been of the mind if you don't know how to keep things clean or you are a messy/careless person then that is when ANYTHING electronic has problems.

# hahahaa — Guest 2006-12-04 09:21

roflmao too!!! me toooooooo~~~

# Wrong. — Guest 2006-12-05 13:20

Sega went bankrupt because they spent waaaaay too much money on their games. they spent $20 mil on shenmue, and they got no sales from it.

# hahaha. — Guest 2006-12-05 13:33

My Xbox stopped working a few days before the Xbox 360 came out. My friend's ps2 (original launch model) is still working like a charm.

I've decided I'm going to destroy my Xbox, and clear up space for my ps3.

# Bahhh... — Guest 2006-12-06 03:29

No he doesn't! I hope a girl sees him and runs the other direction cause he's a douchebag!

I don't mind ISOing a game after I've purchased it

and some neeny wants to complain about me having the ablility to do so can go Fux himself!

# Spam-O-Vision — Twenty-Se7en 2006-12-10 10:49

Jesus, Qj! What has happened to your fourms? I can see high-def spam-o-vision from every direction.

Also, covering Paradox, a group that stays in the shaddows because they are a bunch of fricking pirates says a lot about what your site and your readers want to hear. It's not good to piss off the big boys - be warned

# fu ck ers — Guest 2006-12-15 11:22

# Facts — Guest 2006-12-22 03:01

-Piracy (although a problem) has some benefits, for instance, in my country a lot of people who bought the ps2, would have never done it if it wasn't modchipped in the first place.

-Good Games will sell well no matter how fast piracy can spread. Developers just need to come up with better games. Just look at game sales of GTA, MGS, RE4, etc.

-Hacking the PS3 would surely be a problem for PS3 game sales, but for the PS3 Hardware and Blue Ray format it would be and incredible advantage over its competition, and Sony knows it. The question is, which one is more important for them?

# fact — Guest 2006-12-25 18:15

what a retard statement

# FACT — Guest 2007-01-02 17:17

PS3 IS better than Xbox 360 or any system for that matter. No matter what you say you know its true. Just think about it. Blue-Ray Discs with 50gigs of space. Highest resolution out to date. It obviously stomps on any system. I own a 360 therefore proving that i'm not a fanboy. I just can't see how people say other systems are better. All i hear is "oooh ps3 is gay, its a piece of

shi t. But you know its not. It kills every spec of any system. And i know someone childish will reply with "ps3 is crap" but who cares. As long as you keep thinging that then your ignorant.
