Forums - Sony - PS3 Has Been Finally Hacked to Run Games Without Discs (VIDEO)

Vetteman94 on 19 August 2010

Even if it is legit,  Sony could start putting firmware updates on game discs that would be required to play those games which would negate this completely.

Sony might have to give back Linux though

Firmware update on disc is a good idea for that specific game

 

abt LInux,nah not happening

so a random guy posts a video on the internet claiming he hacks it, and the entire gaming community claims it official and is happy..

 

its fake, they used a DEBUG old ps3 model to use the USB pirate.. it's an obvious scam, if it could work on all ps3's they wouldn't have used a debug ps3.

Never say never,  do you really think Sony would rather have this far more simple hack to be out in the public instead of that complicated hardware hack that was never finished and not even released to the public?  So they swallow their pride and admit they are wrong,  and put an end to quite a few lawsuits as well.  

And I was refering to PS firmware updates,  not game firmware updates for specific games.

Sony already puts updates on discs, they started it with the psp.

How so?  The software that this runs on could also be updated/patched to work with new firmwares.  And if they start putting updates on discs (which they have already done at least once), how would that stop anything since the entire contents of the disc would be backed up and then ran as if it were a legit copy?

Just like with other things that get jailbroken, it doesn't take long to beat new patches/firmwares with a new jailbreak.

So presumably you need the disc first to make a back-up of it?


Yes, but torrents of PS3 games will most likely start to pop up soon if this thing ends up being a success. People won't even need a blu-ray burner, just transfer it to an external HDD.

Anyways I guess one could just rent games and be done with it for now.

As I said in the other thread about this (this is the third fucking thread on this topic), that would require a 50GB upload, followed by a 50GB download, and either a blu-ray burner or a rather large external HDD. A pretty massive internal PS3 HDD, too.

If they require the firmware to be installed to play the game,  it would stop this, putting the entire contents of the game on the hard drive wouldnt do you any good unless the firmware update was installed. 

Plus its not jailbroken,  its hacked,  they are aiding piracy with this and what they are doing is illegal.

What I am saying is the firmware update could still be installed because it would still be on the external hard drive and appear to the PS3 as if it were running off of the disk.  If that firmware breaks the current jailbreaking system, then yes it would work, but only until a new/updated jailbreak comes out.

Stop calling it jailbreaking,  this is a flat out piracy hack.  This isnt the same thing they do to the iPhone
