as for ps3 or wii i dont see the ponit of spending all the money for a blue ray bunner and its like £8 just for a blank disc its jsut easyer just to buy the real thing its ok for psp ds but still i would like to buy the real thing
Heres a good link here with a diagram detailing it. Interesting its not the Jigg drive like many thought. I guess the rumors were right it was something to do with Geohot http://www.ps3hax.net/2010/08/ps-jailbreak-reverse-engineered/
What? does that makes bluray buns? Anyway, you can get a 500GB 2.5 HDD for less than $100, enough space for 50 games or so
If you've not been keeping up: x3Jailbreak is a fake, no-one seems to know anything about PS3key yet and Titanium was the project name for the PSJailbreak which has been delayed by a week. Now there's the PS3Stinger which will apparently be very cheap, as it's a blatant clone. These guys reckon it'll be shiping around 15th September.
Don't you think Sony is too "quiet" about this? No news about new firmware or anything like that... I bet a major ban wave is coming.
The whole place must be scrambling to find a solution that doesnt requires replacing every piece of dev equipment. I mean, if they patch this, every SDK out there would be rendered useless, right?
I am guessing they will roll out a detect that will have to be part of every game executable from now on.
Sony Australia has imposed an injuction to stop the PSJailbreak being sold. Ozmodchips has been issuing customers refunds and sending emails to apologise for the inconvenience. I'm hoping someone can use the information from all the reverse engineering that's been going on to make a simple PC application that does the same job. Sony wouldn't have a chance of stopping a small application spreading overnight, but they can do things about an actual hardware device.
Looks like Sony has already taken steps... http://kotaku.com/5623505/sony-temporarily-blocks-sale-of-ps3-modchips?skyline=true&s=i
Pathetic attempt by Sony. The thing has been dumped already and has no Sony code in it (even the ID is faked). Wait a week or two and there will be a PSP app to unlock your PS3.
It has JIG code in it, and will be banned by the aussies for it. http://www.ps3hax.net/2010/08/ps-jailbreak-reverse-engineered/
There is no copyrighted code in it. It is an exploit that fakes the Sony jig ID and does some fancy patching using a stack overflow.
Exactly, it fakes the jig id. "In the United States and many other countries, even if an artifact or process is protected by trade secrets, reverse-engineering the artifact or process is often lawful as long as it is obtained legitimately." There's no legit legal way to own a JIG to reverse engineer it.
