I dont know if this was posted but here it is.

"Can a backup be played on the PS3? Yes, says Paradox, an Internet release group. Apparently, there's an exploit. Here's what's making the rounds on the Internet:

| cOMPANY : SCEI | rELEASE DATE : 27 Dec 2006 |
| sYSTEM : PlayStation 3 | sIZE : 120 x 100mb |
| tYPE : Racing | vIDEO MODE : NTSC/JAP |
| sUPPLIER : Huey Lewis | cRACKER : Wireless B/G? |
| mEDIA : Blu-ray | pLAYABLE : Yes they are |

| sPECIAL nOTE: |
| |
| Happy new year to all members who helped in the past and present! |
| And a question to all, is there a bug in the system software from |
| the playStation 3(R) Yes there is Nothing to add more.. |

What does this mean? Paradox has released a game image (ISO) of Motorstorm (Japanese) and in the NFO file, they say the game image is playable. And that's not the only thing that's making the hacks-and-exploits community smile: earlier, Paradox also said that the first sectors from a PS3 image (sector 0 to 20) are special and may be the decryption keys for the executables.

We ask the same question as the news source for this article: "Could the PS3 be exploited already?" Is that good news or bad news - I mean, it's good news for a lot of gamers, but is that good news for Sony? What's going to happen next?"

Great new but i wouldent get my hopes up,
because,

A blue-ray burner alone will cost 1000 dollars,
and it`ll take well to long to download ps3 games,


Also i wouldent even try to hack my playstation 3 yet, becuase soon ps3 will do something like a update (automatic) which will stop the exploit,

just like the xbox 360

It may take a long time to download, but you don't have to put it on a Blu-ray disc. You can put it on your hard drive and run the ISO from there.

I downloaded lemmings today to my system and the ps3 would not even let me log on until i updated to the 1.32 firmware.... guaranteed.. if hacks come out then the firmware updates will catch them, so i imagine if you want to do anything online you will be forced to update firmware which will defeat any existing hack.. perhaps it will be a continuous fight for sony... I wonder if they will have the ps3 send a report of the system status and then go after people that have violated the user aggreement regarding mods and such... could be interesting.

Newegg has the Sony, Philips, Lite On, and Plextor Blu ray drives from $599: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...blu+ray&Ntk=all

And Blu ray discs start at $12.99: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...blu+ray&Ntk=all

If you have cable (and maybe dsl), a download won't take too long at all if you know where to find what you're looking for.

And where did you get the idea that the 360 has been stopped? Because that's wrong.

Some new info

Quote:
.....Here is what I can 100% confirm thus far: Paradox DO have a PS3 iSO Loader already. It works by running the PS3 iSOs from the HDD via an exploit/security vulnerability in Firmware v1.00-1.10. Newer versions may work as well, however, speaking with them these are the only versions they have confirmed to me thus far as exploitable/fully working with it.

The good news is, similar to PSP we won't have to open our $600 PS3 consoles to be able to run PS3 back-up images... nor will we have to mess with expensive Blu-ray burners or BRD media.

The bad news is, as soon as news (specific tech info) of the actual exploit is public $ony will patch it IMMEDIATELY and it will be useless until another is found. This is obvious of course, but stock PS3's here in the US are already coming shipped with 1.10 firmware versus 1.00 so I'm sure it won't be long until they get shipped with even higher from the factory.

Finally, as to why else is Paradox waiting on releasing their loader? Well, unofficially speaking (since it's all just rumors anyway until something tangible is released) I've heard two reasons as follows:

1) They are waiting for the EUR PS3 launch before they share their PS3 exploit(s) publically since THEY (Paradox) are primarily a EUR release group... meaning their members wish to get as low of "stock FW" version as possible upon launch, versus releasing the exploit(s) now and then being stuck with 3.xx firmware with even more hole patches/protection for their families and friends, etc which wouldn't likely run PS3 iSOs for some time yet.

2) They are waiting on more GOOD games to come out for PS3 before sharing the exploit(s). This is because if they do it now, then $ony developers will simply update their $DK's/libs/etc and the new games will not work with their exploit(s) anyway... and the current limited number of PS3 games on the market (to them) simply aren't "worthy" of being exploited publically yet.

Finally, if someone else (another release group, etc) were to publically release the PS3 exploit information or exploit itself then Paradox would likely share theirs at that time as well (similar to how they did the PS2 Machine ID changer when CORE released their BETA one). However, Paradox simply doesn't wish to be "first" in doing so until THEY are ready (again, after the EUR PS3 launch) unless similar info is already public by someone else.

Hopefully this answers some questions

Is there not a way to turn back the firmware on the PSP? If so dont you think that someone will just figure this out to offset sonys updates and also cant someone just set it up to have dual fw to bypass all of sonys answers?

Yeah people have made downgraders for the psp firmware, but of course sony knocks off the downgrade next time the release a new update. Its a constant battle.

Actually, you're wrong. No consoles "broke". Only a hand full of consoles were affected when Live did their fall update. And that was due to the newer model 360 drives running an older drives modded firmware. They updated to the right firmware and poof, problem solved. It was "Error 66"... not the red lights.

But that's not what this thread is about so lets stay on target. We're all waiting for this ps3 exploit, right? 8')

You will only have to do updates if your connected online.




Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!
(11/19/05 - 9/19/06) Microsoft: Sony's 1080p support on PS3 is all Hype and Not Needed.
(9/20/06) Microsoft: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support.

My apologies for bringing this old thread alive but how has the progress change or inproved since 2007? I understand of course now the update is on 2.42 with a possible 2.43 coming up, but has this progressed?

Rumor around the underground seen (aka us) is that Sony paid Paradox off. Paradox is a well known hacker group and it's not like them to make stuff up.
