PS3 PSGroove Released, Open Source PS Jailbreak

[Zero]

Don't know how well homebrew will take off with the Cell's multithreaded architecture.

Although once a few decent emulators pop up, i'm going to be all over this.

 

[BlackSheep]

Would it be possible to have a xbox emu?
or even a xbox360 one?

 

[Adiuvo]

No. The 360 and PS3 are too close together power wise.

how about a wii? With the move i assume it will be possible

 

[El Diablo]

Seeing as how Wii emulators for PCs aren't 100% I can't see there being one for the ps3.

At least not one that works any better than Daedalus for psp.

Possible yes, full speed is another story however.

 

[Hardrive]

So... is it possible to write homebrew for this yet?

And why the hell does everything have to be called a Jailbreak now? What happened to the word "exploit"? Get off my lawn...

 

[Hellcat]

In theory homebrew is possible, yes.
BUT: There is no free SDK like for the PSP, you'd need to find the SCE SDK.... not only is that a very hard task but HB created with that is automatically illegal since the author never had the right to have and use that SDK....

 

[ChurchedAtheist]

couldnt a large group legally purchase a copy? start a exophase studios perhaps, and any dev who joins has access. this is probably not allowed,but im not sure what the sdk rules and restricions are.

 

[Adiuvo]

By doing that I'm sure you would have to go through Sony to get your things released, not just prop them up on the internet.

 

[yolarrydabomb]

If I had a PS3...this will be great for my psp since I dont use hardly once in a blue moon.

 

[El Diablo]

Does anyone know if there's any sites that list what games are able to be ripped to an external hard drive and which have files over 4 gigs and can't?

dont imagine any do.

although, if having files over 4gb is all that is required to break this, within 6 months expect every game to have a 4.1gb file that is critical.

 

[El Diablo]

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well, although maybe as more stuff comes out for this maybe eventually a CFW will come that will let you not be forced to use fat32 to get around the 4 gig thing.

Saw this on ps3hax.net today

According to multiple sources, including Logic-Sunrise, new details of the Backup Manager v1.1 have surfaced.

The new features:

• Support for all firmware.
• Support for NTFS.
• Supports Blu-ray and MKV.
• Support for PSX and PS2 games.

ChipSpain suppliers have also provided more details below:

• NFTS Support
• New version of Backup Manager 1.1 (OK)
• Compatible with all PS3 firmware
• Compatible with Blu-ray backups, PS2 and PSX.
• Auto Updater via your PC.
• Reproduction of video formats such as MKV and many well known programs like XBMC.
• You can always update the console to play online!

Really praying NTFS support comes around.

 

[Sousanator]

Wow, just having mkv (and other video codec possibilities) makes the $30 for a Teensy board worth it

 

[Hardrive]

Is ps3hax reputable at all though? They didn't used to be.

 

[El Diablo]

Well all the information was from another website, I just saw it posted on there /shrug.

 

[x3sphere]

I wouldn't put much faith into that list. Why would it be "compatible with all PS3 firmware" when the exploit itself only runs on 3.41 Fishy I'd say..

 

[El Diablo]

The exploit runs on anything up to 3.41, no?

 

[x3sphere]

Only works on 3.41 as far as I know. The RAM patches are specific to that firmware.
