Retail PS3 RAM partially dumped

Posted Sep 22, 2008 at 1:40PM EST by Karl B.

Sony PlayStation 3 - Image 1

More promising news in the land of PS3 homebrew. A hacker known as StreetSkaterFU has managed to partially dump the RAM on a retail PS3 machine, something that could eventually lead to encryption key breaking and the like.

So far, there have been no news of any further progress, but this is a promising step towards opening the PS3 more fully to homebrew. Analysis is still being conducted on the dumps, but we'll be sure to report on any further developments.

You can check out a few screenshots of the dumps at the source link. For more on information on other PS3 hacks and exploits, check out the hacks and exploits below.

this is hardly good news. notice how the psp has a very large space in between good games and crap nobody would touch? its because hacking it became so easy. if you want your multi-hundred dollar purchase to keep its value as such instead of a bloated nes player plus pirating machine then stay far away from this crap. i honestly hope sony voids warrenties and bans people from psn if they detect changes in the kernal.

ok ackeejag, your a doushe. This is very good, this could lead to backup/iso loaders. which is good! Obviously you are soo *****ing anti-piracy, and you probably do piracy ALL the time and you hate it when other people do it, you *****ing hypocrite

Well neway kongo664, ya this is great news! Ya the encryption on the disk can be broken(already has), and if they manage to break it better, it could lead to ISO loaders(which i like, yep i like piracy), and maybe even more! I hope this enhances! And ya i agree with u about homebrew, im tired of java homebrew:P

# You Both Have A Point... — RyutsukeMurakami 2008-09-22 17:07

Have you considered the size of an ISO game for PS3? Even with an 500GB HDD you could only fit so many onto it. With an external HDD still doesn't cut it.

Bottom line is if you like the game so much go and buy it. If your a real gamer like most of us. You would buy it and add the game to your collection. Having a hard copy is always better. One of the reasons I've never purchased some games on PSN. Take GT prologue for example me and all my friends got the hard copy. And don't say your going to lose it!!, Then WHAT!! If you thought of that then ask yourself have you lost anything important to you in your life? If so then your one retarded lowlife who's unable to protect whats important to you!

# @Murakami — cizzar 2008-09-22 17:45

That's why I'm waiting for cheap BD Burners and DL BD-Rs =)

# Man Listen — Xis 2008-09-22 19:03

I love some games were I'd buy them but some games I like but wont buy Like I LOVE WARHAWK I own it but I'de love to burn it just in case I want to lend it out I'll still have it at home plus I can play it with some one else and also some games I just would like to have and play evcery so often but dont wanna own like Dark kingdome its not a GREAT game but I like playin it but it takes up space its not a large game so I'd burn it to my HDD and store cred that ***** like what i do wit my PS2 games rent burn or buy burn return repeat

# notice how the psp has a very large space in between good games and crap nobody would touch? — Techni 2008-09-22 19:06

No, good PSP games come out very often. Far more often than the DS or the Wii

# Uh dude — Mr Toasty 2008-09-22 19:28

Very few PS3 games even hit the 25 gig limit. Warhawk was under a gig for one.

With the release of the 160 gig PS3s coming up you'll be able to something like 10 games easily.

And the glory of piracy is no DRM! If you run low on space just delete a game you play the least, you can always get it again later.

The problem is that just like PS2 and HDLoader, chances are you won't be able to play online.

# piracy lover here — papajag 2008-09-22 20:06

As much as i love free games we should at least buy the ones that we love the most and for me it was GoW, Crisis Core, and MGS for the PSP. I want the devs to actually make more games that has quality. One more thing this will boost up the sales of PS3s so Sony can start getting more games on their system

(of course people are gonna end up saving the money instead of buying their favorite games for a bigger hard drive but at least I tried)

# stfu anti pirate dummies — xche78x 2008-09-22 21:21

millions of people would have never even bought the ps1 ps2 or psp if not for the chance for the free/cheap/downloaded/pirated games they could play on it.

hard to admit but software piracy makes hardware industry grow larger than you can imagine. its always a double sided karma.

look at the pc gaming industry, why is it still growing every year when everything and i mean all software's can be pirated on PC?

people will always look for alternative means of enjoyment, if they cannot have it on ps3, then people will turn to Wii and 360.

and if the ps3 is hacked (can play backupd games or game images) i betcha, with the powerful name of the playstation brand, it will crush the hardware sales of the 360 and wii combined. software sales will less than normal but the hardwares sales will be phenomenal. just like what it did for the ps1 and ps2.

# your wait will not be that long — xche78x 2008-09-22 21:27

current bd burners are reaching the low 200 dollar mark, and blanks bd discs (25gb) are also down from 23$ to 10-15$ range. next year when the ps3 if the playstation 3 can bdr backups, ill definitely purchase a burner. for now im collecting em classics on my 4tb PC.

# ....yea — Xis 2008-09-22 21:53

yea I....kinda....know ...I downloaded it I ws just sayin i'd like to burn it and have it too Piracy is a great thing its what makes the world turn in the places were the world dont wanna turn and I have hd loader and PS3 linux emulators 320 GB hdd intermnal amd other externals I'm great on space

# sony will have counter-measures — jmak0 2008-09-23 03:43

the ps3 is designed to be online all the time to get the best experience from the console. friends lists, trophies, online gaming and playstation home, as well as the playstaion store are all reasons why i won't be getting into ps3 game piracy, and if you value those things, you should stay away from pirated games. also, if you want sony to make more ps3 games for another 8 years, and want them to make another console, I would also advise against piracy as it can damage good honest game companies that are trying to support the industry.

# Well... — Alistar 2008-09-23 05:06

I support homebrew, I love it, but I do not support piracy.

I have said this before. Even if you hate SONY, you can't possibly hate the developers.

They sacrifice time and effort to give you the game. The least you can do is give a little bit of respect and buy the game. Buying games supports the development of more games.

# not anyone is a blood sucking priate thief to the core like you — houaruto 2008-09-23 05:11

I have never privated games on PS1 or PS2, I actually get off my lazy a$S and work to pay for my games...........I own bout 22 games for both console combined........I have a PSP and PS3 with DMC4, MGS4 and am currently saving cash to add to my library..........I do admit I have privated PSP game......but just because it was a dam good series and I love it from first time trying.............Capcom wouldn't give us an english release and the only way I play it was threw the japanese ISO............Privating 1 game cause it was impossible to get is different from you blood sucking vampires, sucking all the devs dry on the PSP......hence taking away the incentives for third party software support

# WTF!?!?!?!?! — ISOHaven 2008-09-23 06:23

"No, good PSP games come out very often. Far more often than the DS or the Wii."

Sales numbers don't agree.

# WTF!?!?!?!?! — ISOHaven 2008-09-23 06:25

Screw ISO images. Too much overhead. Just the ability to copy the entire game to the HDD would be awesome!

Faster load times for the WIN!!!

# Pirates are so lame... — The Frenchman 2008-09-23 06:34

I've read comments like: "I don't care about homebrew" "YAHOO backups!"

WTF? you have enough money to buy a $400 PS3 but you are too poor to buy games? get your priorities straigt morons.

# wow... — DiscoStew592 2008-09-23 07:02

I would comment on how inaccurate, immature, stupid, and just plain retarded half of the comments on this article are, but I just don't want to take the time and waste my energy. Plus, I can't even read half of them because they r rit3n l1kee tis. By the way, as much as I would like to see an ISO loader on the PS3, I know it would not be worth it. Unless you upgrade your HDD to a preposterous size or buy a Blu-ray burner and some BD's then you are not going to be able to get very far. Maybe one low-quality game and thats it... UNLESS they do what they did for the psp and compress the ISO's in different ways (ie. taking out the audio) but that would suck... because nobody wants to play a watered down version of a game that was originally very high quality.

# lolwut — Achooist 2008-09-23 07:49

Would you rather spend $400?

Or $1,000?

Obvious choice is obvious.

# the main reason i want cfw for the ps3 — core2kid18 2008-09-23 08:58

is so that i can play my burned ps2 and ps1 games on it. I won't pirate PS3 games.

# Hmmmm — c74gta4smash 2008-09-23 11:05

I like homebrew as it has definitely and still is bringing out the true potential of the PSP. But on the other hand, it's destroying the PSP. SONY's really trying to get the PS3 moving and in the state it is now, ISO loaders will destroy it. I didn't pay 500 dollars for a system that will be screwed due to piracy. Emulators are fine and so are custom apps but do you really want what happened to the PSP to happen to the PS3. The 360 is doing okay with backups because the system is dirt cheap. Nones gonna pay 400 - 500 for a system that wont have good games because devs are fed up with losing profit.

# Exeactly — Xis 2008-09-23 14:21

I'd definently just burn selective games to the HDD flat out if given the chance but backups is just a convenience for me as the same wit most

# this sucks... — nikko03 2008-09-23 15:39

I realy hope they dont find out how to do this. I think this should have just been a fad and ended with the psp. We have already ruined something that at first had great potential. And i admit i pirated my psp to hell lol but ud have to be retarded to not see what it did to games and I do not want to see that happen with the ps3 for so many reasons...like first of all like so many have said i did not spend 500 bucks on something to have it end up like the psp...like lets think about a few things....first of all alot of devs think its too dificult to develope for the ps3 anyway...but they still try. but s*** if i was a dev and seen ppl just stealing what i worked hard on weather it be good or bad u would never see me do it again. The ps3 is starting to get some great momentum with quality games and if stupid s*** like piracy pops up to f*** with it then we will be right back where the psp left off.

# talk about biased — PS3 OUTSIDER 2008-09-23 16:53

jesus people dont look at this the right way and sadly never will. for example take ea for instance> spore they have added anti piracy software that only alows the owner to install it 5 times because of this it has been outsold by pirated copys. so anyone who says that this is bad dont do it is a moron because piracy has abount as much chance of crippling the ps3 as ea does makeing a good game.

# LOL.... — 0genmu0 2008-09-23 17:36

It's so scary to think that people don't think that pirating ain't a crime anymore just because you really can't get caught. If people actually thought about it, games would be much cheaper if there was NO pirating at all which is pretty much close to impossible.

AND DON'T SAY PIRATING DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING AT ALL... YA SAY ONLY THIS SMALL PERCENT OF PEOPLE PIRATE? IT AIN'T ONLY ONE PERSON DOING IT NOR ONE COUNTRY DOING IT EITHER SO DO THE MATH ($60/per person and give an estimate of how many pirate a game = loss of sale), sorry for the caps, I know there is two or more idiots coming out with a reply like this sooner or later so might as well say that now. And yes, we have all done it.

# ..... — 0genmu0 2008-09-23 17:40

you say that now...but hey you still pirating something and will still probably pirate the ps3 if you had the chance. Hate it when people say crap like this to take the heat of themselves. Just say "we pirates, we ashamed and at the same time proud of it" or don't say bs at all

# lol wut yourself — 0genmu0 2008-09-23 17:47

"THIEF! YOU ARE FILTH" - assassin's creed. Go get a job kid, life ain't so damn easy and ya ain't making it much easier for those who are actually working hard to buy their games. Obvious choice....... Scary how you think like this, be a smart ass, and sound so proud of it.

# . — g1BBz 2008-09-24 00:05

@ 0genmu0

stfu idiot

# a fad??? lol ;) — gehx75 2008-09-24 01:40

y would you think hacking the psp shoulda been a fad?? hacking hardware has been around since, well, hardware has been around.....finding ways to do something that the manufacture didn't intend for it to do.....that's all homebrew is really.

keep hacking my brothers, let's open this thing up...and the 360 too :)

# hey ISOhaven: — Silver-Tiger 2008-09-24 04:59

because sales numbers means quality....

# .... — 0genmu0 2008-09-24 06:01

how am I the idiot..... Just stating some faqs and my opinion. You just proved a point for me since you replied stupidly where as I was trying to prove a valid point from a pirates standpoint. Now, let me ask you whose the idiot now? Me or you who can't even type a proper reply.

# WTF!?!?!?!?! — ISOHaven 2008-09-24 07:17

Sales numbers mean popularity which means level of "want".

If quality is a factor of that "want" then so be it. I'm sure plenty of factor attribute to "want".

However, it's pretty common that low quality equals "not want".

So yeah, it's safe to assume that Wii games contain plenty of quality. Has a Wii game ever crashed on you? Has a 360 game? PS3 game? Seems to me the Wii has much higher quality then other consoles.

If you are referring to graphic quality. That has too many variables. Are you speaking resolution? The wii can't handle high resolution. Those that buy it know that so obviously high resolutions are not a requirement for having FUN!

# Very nice — Lazyboy256 2008-09-24 08:54

I hope this leads to being able to bypass the hypervisor on the PS3, to allow for use of the RSX under Linux.

# lol morons — afiset 2008-09-24 09:35

Piracy stays Piracy = a bad thing. Whatever you think or pretend, this is not a good thing. For original homebrew it is, like bringing more video format support to the console is a good thing. If you like a game , you should buy it, and please do not say "If I do, it changes nothing because there are people out there that will buy it". This argument is just for dumbs. The only positive argument is when it leads to better way to run the game (ex: a game on HDD do not require a disk, so you avoid kind of pollution). When games will be all online (they will). If you write some stupid argument to defend piracy, go to sleep and think twice about the fact your saying stealing stuff is good. You earn 150 dollars a day for example, just imagine people steals 40 dollars everyday, you'll probably get angry because you worked for this money. There are people behind games, think about them. And if piracy is a console seller, it means there are enough stupid people to see a difference on large number. And if piracy is a console seller, it means people who does it are stealing Sony cash for example, because they actually lose money selling the console, but regain it on games. Continue your stupid way to think and we'll end up with no consoles at all. Piracy is good = lol your a dumb

# forgot — afiset 2008-09-24 09:40

Mistake: hen games will be all online (they will), I wish piracy will just stop and prices drop.

# oh lawd — ackeejag 2008-09-24 10:16

isoheaven and c74gta4smash are the only ones with sense. good games are VERY spaced on the psp simply because most users pirate on the system. yes I DO pirate games. but i dont want to do it for the ps3. people are complaining about casual gamers killing the industry but they are they industry. they are the only ones that actually buy games.

suppose you make a kick ass game for the psp. you spent millions on it and years of work. it gets great reviews and all of the gamers love it. BUT, sales are terrible. how can so many people love my game if nobody bought it? pirates kill the industry. i dont mind so much for the psp since its been out for years and the library is pretty solid as it is. but the ps3 has a long way to go. i dont want to have to see good updates being pushed back because sony needs to patch the homebrew to fight piracy. i dont want my next kick ass title to be replaced with another generic casual game since "hardcore gamers" dont buy games.

grow up and realize what you are doing to your hobby.

# 0.o — Achooist 2008-09-24 10:43

The funny thing is, I know the "THEIF! YOU ARE FILTH!" thing before I read the part after it. +D

That and I see your perspective, but some of us DO work hard and still don't make it.

Oh and...

VVVVVVVVVVVVV

See: Gas Prices.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Not really an arguing point, but anything having to do with money has to do with gas prices. +P

# gehx75... — nikko03 2008-09-24 11:05

i never said hacking was wrong i personally love everything about it...homebrew n such is great but when it comes to cheap people extorting it so that they can rip everyone off is when its bad...
