Thought I'd look up some PS4 info when I came across this;

http://playstation4.net/playstation-3-finally-cracked-704

In summary,

In quite possibly the longest time it took hackers to crack anything, four years after its launch, the PlayStation 3 has finally been cracked. Best (if you’re into that sort of thing) or worst (if you’re Sony) of all, is that the crack is applied via a simple plug and play USB stick, complete with a GUI installer that doesn’t void warranties, is compatible with any region and model of the PS3 and claims to never brick the console. Other features include backing up games to an internal or external hard drive, which allows them to load faster, and the ability to install homebrew applications.

Oddly enough, the creators of the jailbreak are selling it for a price too exorbitant for something designed for piracy at $130.

Just don't play On-line with the USB Stick plugged in as Sony will ass f**king rape you then :cool:

True that. My idiot mate had played Resident Evil 5 on his 360 whilst online before the game was officially released. Ass raped nicely... well, just banned really lol

Considering a chip in a XBOX can cost you what. $80-$120 depending on what you want

Pricing seems reasonable. End of the day you are paying for a solution.

Just because someone isnt doing any actual physical mods means little - sounds like a solution that isn't going to get you banned so it attracts that price.

After reading it, I'm still not entirely sure how this works? The geek-speak doesn't go down too well in my mind I think! How are pirated games then used with the use of this USB type thing?

(Cracking the PS3 is to enable use of pirated games right?) :thumbsup:

So the pirated games will come on USB's? I remember when they first cracked the 360 they were doing something like this.. The people I used to buy pirated games off in Asia told me the 'pirates' didn't see how they could pirate games as they'd need to be on blu-ray discs and the prices wouldn't be all that much cheaper than originals?

This was years ago though when blu-ray was first appearing, guessing they've gotten a fair bit cheaper now? Or would there be a way around having to use blu-ray?

Couldn't sony make an update to stop it from working?

That's the problem. This mod is fundamentally the same as all the other mods; Sony will eventually bring out new firmware which will stop this one from working. Therefore introducing new hacks and so on.

The vicious cycle begins...

Couldn't sony make an update to stop it from working?

They already have, yesterday I had to update my PS3 and with some further reading on the internet found out the update only existed to block the use of this crack.

it rips the game to the hard drive or external hard drive so you dont need the disc, and if you look around on torrent sites ps3 games are popping up everywhere on demonoid and funfile, and theres a seller on ebay selling the teensy boards with usb cable for about $100 delivered as i have ordered one a few hours ago :-) there really easy to program/flash, but yes the only drawback is when sony does the firmware update you have to wait for new firmware for the teensy board.

And from a fair bit of searching when able to play online there has been no problems yet, but im sure sony will find a way to detect non original games soon enough.

It was also recommended not to update to newer sony firmware yet as there is loads of problems with it, but if playing online you have to which sucks.

so your saying you can play riped games online or not because whats the point in haveing a downloaded game if you cant play online ?? most games now are fmade for online play

Yes you can play online so far with ripped games, it's just when Sony releases their update you need to wait for the update for the USB board, otherwise you just have to play them not online...

I've got 80 games all bought when brand new, I think I deserve a lil something back. If you can get it for free why not, if you truly appreciate the game I would buy it. So yeah cheap I don't think so chief...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
