PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle

Posted Aug 19, 2010 at 8:22PM EST by Ryan F.

Listed in: PS3 Tags: hack, jailbreak, playstation 3 updates, ps jailbreak

So here it is folks, the PS JailBreak, user friendly USB plug and play dumping solution that claims to run games on your PS3 without the need to insert the original disc. According to the products official site:

PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.

Easy to use installer and GUI takes you step by step.

Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA

PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.

Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)

Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.

Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.

Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.

Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port.

Could it be real? Here, you'll be the judge:

You've been able to play PS2 backups for over a year now. You need to have the 60GB PS3 and swapmagic to do that.
The last time I had a 60GB I could play about 60% of games I tried. It was also at USB 1 speed but the latest update is USB 2 and available over network SMB also.

If you read up on this its only for PS3 games.

Really?
I have the 60GB PS3 and Swap Magic discs. How do I do it?

# well — Aces In The Palm 2010-08-20 11:45

considering this allows homebrew, its possible that a ps2 loader could be coded.
the dumping function is ps3 only, but homebrew compatibility makes tthe possibilities endless

actually it wasn't made for homebrew. it was made for piracy. for people to backup their games on to a hard drive because they are to lazy to get up and put the disc in. btw the so called 2x faster on hard drive is bull blueray dises read more data faster. why else would it be 25-50 GB of uncompressed HD game files.

it doesnt matter what it was made for twit.
the fact is that it supports homebrew.
its basically a HEN for PS3

+4 # RE: /FACEPALM — Aces In The Palm 2010-08-21 17:57

the program that dumps the ps3 games is homebrew (if it didnt support homebrew you wouldnt be able to dump games

).
if you want to see a full lowdown on what it does, look it up on maxconsole, threedog was actually sent one to test, this is how i KNOW it supports homebrew.
and by the way. this wont lead to a CFW purely because once the device is removed from the system, hypervisor kicks back in, meaning any CFW will not boot.
apparently its a JIGKICK like pandoras battery that kicks the ps3 into a service mode that allows loading of unsigned code (homebrew)

-1 # WRONG — trigger_ftu 2010-08-22 18:33

illegally leaked software that runs off a bootloader from debug. it doesn't matter if the guy sez it could allow access of running 360 games on the ps3. the only actual work he did was pay a guy to leak the debug tools and write a backup loader (only thing that is his actual work in fact is the gui and small pieces of run code) to run dumped discs. watch within a month the device will be patched to never work and their so called "update for new ps3 fw" will never come. why because all sony has to do is write up a few lines of code to disable the usb check durring the boot sequence of the ps3. and the psjailbreak will be the thing fo the past.

# your a friggin twit — Aces In The Palm 2010-08-23 06:19

Quote:

and that gui is homebrew. do you not get that!!!. its unsigned code (unless your saying sony actually signed the dumper).
and unsigned code ability = Homebrew ability.
geez... get a clue

www.maxconsole.net/content.php?41841-PS3-hacked-USB-PS-Jailbreak-allows-gamers-to-copy-games-directly-to-hard-drive
According to multiple sources, it seems as if the PS3 has been 'hacked' with a new commercial USB Device called the 'PS Jailbreak'. This seems like the modern day 'HD Loader' and will allow owners to dump all original PS3 games onto a FAT32 hard drive and play the game entirely from there. There is an official website for the product, a retailer has released a couple of videos of it, plus a number of 'hackers' have confirmed it is the real deal. Although there is still the chance that it doesn't perform as expected, so keep an open mind. This is surely a major blow to Sony as the device is apparently plug n' play and works on the latest firmware. *Update* - More details revealed including claims that it will run games 2x faster than Blu-ray, support homebrew and will be fully updateable - a second video has just been released too. And another update, a new up close picture has been revealed. All the details inside!

So here's what we know:

Other Hacker talk

Hacker Xorloser has indicated that it is a device that turns the PS3 into a debug unit essentially. This is why it allows people to install and play games from the hard drive.

The likes of Mathieulh have been talking about this and indicate that perhaps it uses illegal code from the PS3 SDK, hence why it works.

# What he is trying to say — Hjk 2010-08-25 00:07

Is that if I wrote a game for the ps3 right now and tried to run it through the dongle, it would not work. The backup manager was signed using code signing keys, hence the laun 12345, and if it wasn't signed in that fashion, it is srill using the real sony sdk which is propritary in its entirety, meaning if I wrote a piece of homebrew code that did happen to run from the backup manager it would have to be written with the official sdk, making it illegal.

Also, even if the codesigning keys were fake, which they probably aren't, they are probably real keys modified to give a false name, laun12345, but even if they were real, Sony could revoke the keys at any time, meaning there would be no more homebrew.

therefore, by most definitions of law abiding coders, this is not homebrew in the sense that it uses stolen and illegal code, and is basically just Sony's official property stolen and used against them, it is therefore not true homebrew.

# yeah — Aces In The Palm 2010-08-25 19:14

i got what your saying
actually googled you and it seems you know a bit more than i thought.
i do apoligise for the name calling and stuff, you could very well be right
if it doesnt support homebrew, i got no use for it.

# actually... — Hjk 2010-08-26 02:43

I think I could have been wrong, I really am very confuzzled at thus point, but it seems that it usn't signed at all, it is encrypted, but I am no longer sure that it was signed at all. I believe it is just being run in recovery mode, before the security routines check the code, or the recovery mode this hardware creates somehow disables the security routines, if only temporarily.

I haven't really heard what anybody else has figured out, I'm sure geo and them have alreafy figured all this out, but I am not involved with that scene, so maybe I was wrong, but it seems to me there is more going on than just code compiled with Sony's leaked sdk, the code to me executes like signed code does when I run simple test programs at work on a provisiined system, the code technically isn't signed, but without the provisioning files it wouldn't even run on the debug unit, and the provisioning files contain everything Sony would need to figure out who wrote any cpde that got leaked.

So as it stands this code seems to me to have been designed and tested by someone running on a debug console or through a recovery mode of some sort where they could protect themselves from the security manager blocking them out, it wasn't neccessarily signed using finak keys, but I do believe it was provisioned or built on top of a prpject that was at ine time used by a licensed Sony partner.

# Hmm — UltimaXIX 2010-08-26 15:59

So... This could, in theory, be wired to the PS3 internally and behave like a traditional mod-chip?

# RE: Hmm — Hjk 2010-08-28 01:49

Why would you want to wire it internally? And no, it cannot be unless you can find some hardware that initiates code on boot and tap into it, this is different than the way modchips work.

But again, why would you want a modchip, so you can void your warranty? Soft modding is the shrine of the homebrew community, using softmods properly means you should technically never void your warranty other than through a stipulation in the EULA of the hardware's software, which as the courts in the US have shown, is not a proper a legal void of a hardware warranty unless you can show a direct link between the custom softmod and the hardware failure.

# Few reasons — UltimaXIX 2010-09-08 17:39

a) My PS3 is out of warranty soon, and since the new update patches the exploit, I'm going to be buying another console for online play.
b) Wiring this interally would be as easy as hijacking a USB port's connections, and rewiring the other port to a hub and sharing the connection with the other, now disabled USB slot (that has been disconnected from the port).

I've done a similar thing with my laptop in the past, when I installed a bluetooth dongle internally, and it works great.

Why would I do that to my PS3? So I don't have a USB stick sticking out of the console 24/7.

# What??? — Hjk 2010-08-23 00:39

Optical drives, blue ray or other, are never faster than hard drive... the game caches the data it needs to the hard drive and ram at non cpu intensive junctures in the games, often this is during loading screens or cutscenes, or sometimes streamed on threads, like in GTA, of course running a game entirely off the hard drive is faster, research before speaking your mind, you sound ke a retard.

-1 # RE: What??? — trigger_ftu 2010-08-24 01:27

hmm lets see. 72MB/s compared to at a max depended on how good your hdd is 3GB/s yeah that's faster on a hard drive OH but wait. lets take in to consideration of the usb speed! that caps the hard drive read speed down doesn't it and if i remember the max usb 2.0 can go is from 1.43MB/s to 57MB/s. and if we are talking about internal drive well and if you are running a 7200 RPM Samsung with full 3GB/s then we have to take out reading and writing for save games, dlc, and anything else that is for an expansion of the game in play also the cache well that may take it down a little bit not enough to hinder it. then there's SSD well no comment SSD is the fastest thing out there but that's only if you want to fork out $150-$400 for a drive that's around 128GB-256GB. and if your a big a gamer as most of us around here as well as run media off the drive (movies and music) that's not enough to do very much of anything with. so lets take a look at the slim model if tehy have upgraded the blu-ray drive lets consider it k lets see what the max speed it would be 12x at 432MB/s. considering the rest. well yeah best option would be internal on a slim model that's about the only way you would see a considerable speed increase because it's running SATA at 6.0 GB/s. where as the phat model is running a 2x at 72MB/s still runs faster than usb2.0 and internal 1.5GB/s well like so. i'd still go with using the disc any day.

# RE: RE: What??? — lolljfqeksad 2010-08-24 02:47

You know, that you install the games on your internal HDD?

# What??? — Hjk 2010-08-24 03:40

Are you a programmer? have you ever made a game that uses an optical drive?

again I respectfully suggest you do some research, the cost of finding data on an optical drive and loading it into memory is expensive, it will always be more expensive than a hard drive, even a a USB hard drive, the only reason the ps3 handles it so well is the architecture of the SPU, if it was a windows based thread it would be very hard to avoid thread deadlock.

You are reading me raw statistics off wikipedia, of byte by byte copying of data, unfortunately that is an unrealistic way to measure performance unless you are merely copying files in an indexed order.

In a video game, I don't have the luxury of loading in the order ascribed by the filesystem, I have to ace a priority on sound, video, assets, levels, etc, and if the level isn't loaded because I was too busy streamng background music then we have a problem.

I hioe that cleared up why it is faster to use a hardrive. Also, I have tested the pure read speeds of the optical drives in many consoles and hardware configs, and I have yet to see one where the optical drives outperform Sata, especially in a console.

Testing of the ps3 was no different, the ps3 bluray drive transfer rate is roughly 70% of the stock 60gb model, so I am not sure where you are getting your facts, I suggest you buy a devkit before talking becoming a talking wiki.

You called me a pirate, lol, quite the contrary, if I was a pirate I would be out of a job.

I'm telling you hard drives are faster, hands down, Unity is horrible, respect for that, unreal isn't much better, lol.

I'm not a java fan, but if you really want to test this make a side scrolling game that loads large textures on the flyand have it load from optical and harddrive together, even on your pc, with all that extraoverhead from the OS and other functions, faster, hands down.

# What??? — Hjk 2010-08-24 03:46

ps... Save games and dlc have nothing to do with streaming a game from the hard drive, they are loaded at non crucial points in the game, same as evrything else on the harddrive, only thing that should be coming from the harddrive during actual gameplay is the paging file data, and any media that is streamed, mysic, avi files, etc, unless it is one of these new fandangled games where the whole world is streamed dynamically, like gta and red dead, but even those games, or I should say ESPECIALLY those games will notice a performance increase, hard drive trumps optical drive, every time

# Games are not 25-50gb — MrDoNotBreak 2010-08-31 03:59

Incorrect. The hdd speeds are significantly quicker than bluray. The drive in the ps3 reads at 2x which equates to 9MB/s. USB 2.0 can theoretically hit 40MB/s (although it's generally much slower).

Another thing - the games aren't actually 25-50gb. Little Big Planet for example, is only 8GB. The iso's of the games are already up and are much much smaller than 25-50gb. Although I suspect some games actually do push past 25GB (Final Fantasy 13) - most games never even reach this point.

# um — Aces In The Palm 2010-09-04 15:53

im sure trigger ftu relises that not all if any games are 50GB
what he was getting at is the fact that most audio and video data on blu rays are uncompressed. and hes right.
doesnt mean its faster than HDD though.
HDD will always kick arse over optical medium

+1 # No, try reading the article... — RavenSPe 2010-08-19 22:20

The PS3 isn't actually 'Hacked', this exploit just allows you to dump a PS3 game to your hard drive. Which suggests you'll still have to have the actual disc to do it in the first place. Of course you could just rent the game and then essentially own it.

-1 # RE: No, try reading the article... — Tyler Durden 2010-08-20 01:53

Not to mention that you can borrow any games your friends have, and have a copy of every game any of your friends already has, and backups of your own.

Not to mention the downloads when people inevitably post their backups to the net. Sure, a 40-80GB game download seems prohibitive right now, but download speeds are ever increasing. Even on my meager 10mb connection I could download a 40GB game in about 5 days.

-1 # err no — Rowan 2010-08-20 02:55

you need a cd in the drive just not the actual game so you could use the dora the explorer ps3 game disc(doesn't exist as far as i know) and play Call of Duty: Black Ops witch you have stored on the hard drive

+1 # I already said that — RavenSPe 2010-08-20 11:33

all you would need to do is rent the game.. You just physically need to have it once. Which means you could obviously have any disc in the drive thereafter...

I doubt you would be able to play these backups online.

# RE: PSN? — Snaku 2010-08-20 21:49

For now, I would think that you can probably still get on psn and even play backups online. I suspect that the next firmware update will have a way of detecting/disabling the backup thing and perhaps even ban your ps3 from going on psn. Personally, I wouldn't risk playing backups online, and since it seems to indicate that the dongle actually installs some software that enables you to get around psn updates (suggesting it alters the firmware), I would think it's only a matter of time before sony figures out a way of detecting hacked ps3s. Considering how nasty Sony likes to get with their consumers (cd rootkit, otheros removal), I wouldn't be surprised if a future firmware update were designed specifically to brick any ps3's that use this hack. At the very least, I would expect a future firmware to overwrite the hack and prevent it from being installed again.

If ps3 were like the older systems (no firmware updates needed) and I didn't use it online so much, I would be all over this, but I think I'll pass--I'm just not willing to risk my psn access just to steal a few games.

Now, having said all of that, has this thing been confirmed at all? I mean, a few years of hanging out in the psp scene have made me kinda' skeptical of anybody who claims to have a new hack for something.

Just backups of real games, cannot burn ISOs and use them. I BET it is possible, though.

And, you could just borrow the ones yo want from a friend or family member, or as a poster further up said, rent it. There you go.

+3 # unfortunately — chuck.fx 2010-08-20 01:50

the ps3 scene will never grow as large as the ps2... the problem is, we depend too much on the online features of the ps3. they will probably fix the xploit by the next update, and unless we update, we won't have access to the psn.... and if i have to choose, i choose the psn over this exploit every time...

it sounds really cool, but i prefer online gameplay =(

HOLY SHIT!! obviously since PS3 is way more secure than PSP there wont be any online cheating as far as private match.

-2 # RE: RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — Snaku 2010-08-20 22:01

Of course there will. As soon as somebody figures out how to alter the game files, you'll have cheaters using customized versions of game levels where they've given themselves extra damage or auto-aim or whatever.

I don't like online cheating, but it would be nice if, in the future, we were able to make trainers (essentially gameshark codes) for single player games and maybe even alter some of the files or add new ones in.

For example, say you're a Rock Band fan, but Guitar Hero has a few songs you want. Some hackers figure out a way to export/import songs and eventually there could be a way to add songs the same way that people used to do with GH2 on ps2. Of course, obtaining files from a game you don't own is piracy, so to stay honest, you would have to buy both games... but wouldn't it be nice to have a GH/Rock Band party where you don't have to switch discs just 'cuz someone wants to play "Hotel California?"

DAX is into losing money, its not just a flash drive, its emulated hardware, you think DAX would pay for the hardware and the shipping for you...

Geez, first you guys won't pay for the games, then you complain about paying 150 for unlimited games, next you'll complain about having to pay for the console, then the industy will stop publishing games like with the psp, then you guys will complain that there are no games to play.

I wonder when you whiny kids are going to notice the cycle here... and if you really have the original disc, just pop it in when you want to go online, I thougt QJ didn't support piravy, by that logic half you guys should be banned, interesting.

# Not that simple. — FreePlay 2010-08-20 18:04

PS3 game discs don't load in retail blu-ray drives. And even when you dump an ISO using Linux on the PS3, the vast majority of the files are corrupted/encrypted - because the file system itself is encrypted in a way that can only be decrypted by the hardware and that isn't available in OtherOS.

I wonder how this will open up the possibilities for the homebrew community if it isn't capable of dumping unofficial stuff onto the drive?
So if they make a statement that it will allow for hombrews then then it might actually support burned disc's.
And that in fact might give us a homebrew allowing homebrew loading from a usb-drive. Wich would be even greater.
But those are only wishing and dreaming thoughts from one who cant even understand how or if this really works.
But lets prey guys

# ... — FreePlay 2010-08-20 18:05

Jusst think about all we can learn from the PS3! and I dunno.. I might even clean the dust from my old C++ books

# What??? — Hjk 2010-08-24 03:50

It is homebrew in a sense, except it is made using the Sony SDK, meaning it looks like real software to the ps3, this is illegal and therefore not what real homebrew is or stands for.

BTW, you should maybe learn how to use c++ before the hack comes out, lol

# classic — pookiepoo 2010-08-20 10:11

homebrewers vs. pirates

homebrewers want freedom and pirates want everything for free.

personally i like the idea of backing up my own games to my hd it is a massive convenience for me but the only reason we haven't been able to get this feature is because of pirates.

pirates kill the homebrew scene they have always had a negative impact on it because of the fact that all they do is take. I am so sick of them!

+2 # RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — xInSoMnIaTiCx 2010-08-20 10:22

I am not for this...yet. As it could be stopped by Sony and PSN is too good to give up. BUT... for all those saying 40-50GB is too big to download, I say pfffttt!

In Canada we have excellent connection speeds. When downloading from Usenet I reach download speeds of 2 MB/sec. Yes 2MegaBYTES per second. I get 10GB Blurays in 1 hour. SO a game would take 4-5 hours. Not a big deal. WHen I had the very first PS2 chip I was downloading games that would take 10 hours to 2 days to get, since connection speeds were much slower then. I still fought through it, so trust me getting full PS# games is not out of the question. Only if you are on some crappy capped connection in the states lol.

Uninhibited RemotePlay that allows you to stream actual gameplay to your computer screen or psp screen and control it with your dual shock controller
Emulators that weren't efficiently possible with the psp like dreamcast.

In-Game music and screenshot plugin

ummm for the ppl here posting that we will have to download 50-60gb for one game, im pretty sure that a blu ray disk only has a limit of what... 40gb?? also ps3 games dont use aaaaaal of that space so u ppl need to chill! A backup especially will not take much space/

+2 # RE: ?? — Andy Mitchell 2010-08-20 22:11

The max data on a dual-layer blu ray is 50gb. Not a lot of the earlier games used anywhere near that much space, but as time goes I'd expect to see developers getting close to it.

MGS was rumoured to have used 50GB then elsewhere it was noted that it used 33GB.

Still, 33GB is a fair amount to download. 1TB 2.5" drives don't come too cheap at the moment either!

But anyway, enough of that. Glad this is finally here. This should open up all kinds of homebrew on the PS3 and being a USB stick, I'll be willing to bet if Sony block it, the developers will be able to make updates for it. Plug it in to your PC and it can be updated easily :)

+2 # RE: RE: ?? — But Fukir 2010-08-22 07:42

although i do have a old broken 60gb YLOD, might get that fixed and use an alternative psn

i realy do just want homebrew, piracy sploit the psp for me, i didnt appreciate the games as it was too easy to get them

never actually played a pirated game
(ended up downloading them, and seeing if they ran, but never really played them)

# ?? — Nightmare_Empire 2010-08-20 23:28

50GB HA! i highly doubt any of the games on PS3 come anywhere close to that, The only game that would qualify for that would probably be FF13 but still most likely not 50GB a typical game for both Xbox360 and PS3 are roughly 6GB to 9.5GB, So basically the highest you would see IMO would be like maybe 15GB games, If you cant handle 15GB on your Internet....Then maybe it's time to upgrade! "Just because the systems media is allowing 50GB of use, Doesn't mean all games are 50GB" lol

Time to buy a 2 Terabyte and get ready for someone to bring Other OS back or at least create a Linux installer

And you can play online right now with these games. AND there won't be any worries if Sony updates because the USB Dongle is upgradeable with updates too. So Sony can update and then they can crack the new update and then you can also update. All the while, due to the fact that its a debug model for all intensive purposes, there will probably be a hacker created workaround to keep playing online without updating.

Quoting Aces In The Palm:

The likes of Mathieulh have been talking about this and indicate that perhaps it uses illegal code from the PS3 SDK, hence why it works.

exactly ^

exactly would rather listen to someone who knows what they are talkin about and has actual exp with the consle instead of some new guy that came off the streets with this dongle saying it can do everything. on top of that maybe the dongle is useing sighned code, if it is useing sony's tools, keys, certs, etc. then why not also seeings that the ps3 see's and identifies the tool as it is then it could very well be all he did was write up a gui with simple commands to the dongles debug tools.

# Trigger relax bro — Hjk 2010-08-24 03:55

He doesn't understand the difference between running unsigned code "homebrew" and stealing sony's code to make it look authentic, which is illegal.

let stupid be stupid, he's a pirate, he doesn't care. The real question is could this loader be used to run unsigned. ode, and as far as I can tell, the answer to that is no

# actually — Aces In The Palm 2010-08-25 07:16

i own all my games
i also have a leaked 1.60 PS3SDK (one of the only copies with the compiler) so when i get this jailbreak, first thing i'll do is write a hello world as proof of concept.
until then, i guess its all speculation

+1 # Why use... — Hjk 2010-08-25 19:40

Sony code? use your own code, its a lot more fun, using sce code is boring, besides its not even the most efficient, I spend 10 hours a day rewriting things the SDK supposedly already does, man up and be creative, not a pirate

are you certified or moreless ahve more hand on workings with harddrive as well as blue-ray? = NO
you go off what some noob off the streets shows, you don't have a tool more less programing knowledge to help back that the tool can in fact do homebrew besides the fact it has a gui and can run backups. you are as intelligent as a rock. hey if you enjoy having the wool being put over your eyes by listening to someone that had just appeared outta no where i would hate to see what would happen if someone told you jumping off a cliff would make you rich. well have a nice life PIRATE.

-1 # Noob off the street — Hjk 2010-08-24 21:03

Yesthis noob off the street does have experience with a certain console that has a blu ray drive and a hard drive, hard drive everytime my friend.

portfolio, here is one of the games I have worked on for the ps3, not my greatest piece, but I don't work there anymore so it doesn't matter. http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/strategy/stormrise/index.html

that game is one of the biggest reasons I can't wait for homebrew, I can't wait to be able to make ps3 games that I think will be good, not the brainchild of some tenth floor introverted lvl 70 paladin... he is WoWified.

This noob has also been posting on qj for a VERY long time, just under a varietyof aliases, and one registered name, in the hopes that nobody will piece together who Iamor where I work, because I like my job, it pays for my off the street noob living expenses, thank you for not pirating, xD

Also, when you talk to Mathieulh, tell him I would like to see some move support in any cfw, I have so mqny cool ideas.

# RE: Noob off the street — trigger_ftu 2010-08-25 14:29

well so far the noob has shown that the psjailbreak is only capable of 1 thing running backups, no POC of homebrew running, and the tools he has for downloading from his site are related to piracy none of it homebrew.

stormrise. never herd of it. looks like an ok game might get it because it has robots.

homey no do the wow thing the game is for 30y/o virgins who think blizzards da bomb.
as for Mathieulh contact em your self he's on lan.st,twitter, every once and a while psp-hacks he's on irc at times.

people Sony isn't happy with, like I said, I like my job.

Stormrise is toxic and horrible, but fun for a few minutes, then not so fun for the next few HOURS.

The game designer on that one drove me nuts, I want to use the move in place of a mouse to make some cool games, like a couple rts games and some other stuff, that would be broken without a mouse, but with the move it would be pretty awesome.

Does any know f this thing can also install games onto the HD directly from the disc? If that's the case that's awesome; can just slip all my games onto that and run them offa it. PS3 iso's would be a little too much too download depending on the game. I'd rather just borrow a disc and install it instead.

# RE: RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — ThavionHawk 2010-08-25 05:57

The point of this thing is to let you do just that. Insert Game, dump it to the Internal HDD or a USB device. Don't download ISO's unless you own the game.

It uses stolen code signing keys, this I can confirm.

The keys were apparently doctored to show a different publisher name, but in fact belong to a Sony approved publisher, and shit is hitting the fan.

-1 # RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — ThavionHawk 2010-08-25 05:54

As the sort of guy that Modded his PSP to play faster loading ISO dumps of my games, I'd love that option for my PS3. That said I'd never fork a single cent for a device like this to get that ability.

Paying for a Gamefly account to get a Luminous to mod my PSP is one thing as it gave me many other games to play on-top of the modding, but for the cost of this USB stick I can go out and get several new and used games. Hell i could go and get another PSP and mod it for more options on the go.

Buy it if you want it. Don't be a dick and use this for theft. Backups and homebrew are what this is for, and though I won't buy it, you're welcome to.

# RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — Alexcamrod 2010-08-25 12:51

I really dont care much for pirating as there are only a handfull of games i like on ps3 and own most of them. What im REALLY interested in is the claim for homebrew support. If this thing has ACTUAL HOMEBREW support then i totally want one, and yes ill buy it. But if the files should just happen to be leaked on line like the pandora battery and MMS for psp the i'll make one.. I still have my original Pandora kit with 5.0 m33-6.

# RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — Alexcamrod 2010-08-25 13:00

OMG how cool would it be if this could load all sony immages. Im sure with a few tweeks we'll see the PS3 explode with all its potential. Emulators. Other OS running any operating system of your choice. PSP emulator. But really I would just love to see all kinds of different apps on the XMB. A DVR feature would be AWESOME. SHOOT im gonna need a bigger hard drive LOL.

# RE: PS JailBreak is finally here, hacks your PS3 via USB dongle — norm851 2010-08-25 14:56

what about people like me ,
who just want to have my disks saved in a desk somewhere and not have to swap them out every couple hours?

we can hot swap the games that we all paid for and downloaded via the psn,

why cant we rip the disks and use our games like there dlc games?

im lazy, sue me.
but having my collection on a 500gb or tb would be a massive selling point for me.

with the 360 i can copy (install) games but with multi disk games like blue dragon or masseffect half way through the game,

even if all disks are installed i have to get up and swap the disk to #2 or #3

if you have em all installed, how about just having to have disk #1 in.

if it were any disk then people would just pass out pt 2 -3 4 ect to a friend
but if it only worked with say pt 1 then whats the issue?

i think thats pretty bullshit, i understand people will of course use something like this for piracy,

but cant the system request random checks
like every week or something,
it asks you to pop in one of the game disks that you have installed , just to make shure you have it still?

and if not it locks that game until you can put it back in.

personally id love LOVE, to have a system that made my legal game disks into a dlc style hdd copy.

if used correctly, i dont see the legal issues in doing this, other then sony not liking the idea

# Enough ~>? — HasHoO 2010-08-25 16:35

I have been following this development for each and every minute. Lots of people giving their thoughts, some true some lame.

If we buy the R-JIG ?

1-Is there any chance we will have the support to RIP-off the BR movies ?

2-Any chance of getting the OtherOS back? After all it is only patched isn't it? (I need explanation on this one please!)

3-No one has given an "OK" regarding the MULTIPLAYER. Do they work or not ?

4-Homebrew is there yes BIG thank you. How about Portable-Windows ?

5-Ps1 and Ps2 Games support is not there in the new hardware but can it be enabled in future ? (Need explanation on this one please)

Thank You to everybody for the hardwork.

i dont think hardware ps2 is going to be there, no dream chip.
but software emulation for psx / ps2
can always be updated for more and more,

this usb thing states ps3 games backup only
no psx ps2 br movie

other os sucked because sony had all the power of the system locked away
but if it could be unlocked with full system resources,
then ps3 would be a jiant pc alternative .

as i recall on my 60gb other os was like 2 core and 1 gb ram?

# That Guy — Syakun 2010-08-25 18:47

So far, this is pointless. However, if somehow, by some chance, they were to make this enable linux again on the PS3, and ontop of that, enable the RSX to be used within linux, as well as create a XMB-Linux hybrid OS, this is all very pointless. Especially since its only using stolen sony code. How about making it downgrade back to when OtherOs was supported, and doing what i mentioned above? Make this crap WORTH the 200 dollars, instead of trying to bleed us dry on false hopes, and pipe dreams

# Agree ^* — HasHoO 2010-08-26 02:24

Agree, that we need an OS and some MIRACLE to bypass into the core of PS3 and make linux run like it should.

But, i think they said "Retail ps3 becomes DEBUG ps3"

It's very early to assume anything but IMO there is a chance we can see everything.

I doubt that.

You won't be able to run any backups without the original disc so it's useless if you're onto pirating it.

It's only good to play/use the homebrew function, load games through the HDD USB.

Meh I ain't buying it.
