I could care less if the date isn't up to date. It is just common sense that backups can't be played yet. In fact it would be better if it didn't have the date in it. This way we wouldn't have people asking for it to be updated.

Very true canuckerz

I'll try and remember to update from time to time - or some other mod will. I like date bit - just my 2 cents - but to me it shows aD is staying up on the topic.

You should make this a big bs thread like. ********Play PS3 Backups! Read here!********* Then be like it can't be done yet so don't ask the question. Just discuss in this thread.



In fact I think we would be fooling our selves if we have a community this large, and did not realize that there are some enemies present.

As big of a douche bag move as that sounds I honestly think it would be alot more effective.

Ah... you and your dates ;P

lol, well, If they would update it, we wouldnt get so many newbs asking the same question over and over, since the date is old.

True, lol.

There are ways to get past the firmware check and still access the psn but they're quite inconvenient.

I dont care about PS3 backups as much as at least getting homebrew to work on the PS3, cuz I know how expensive, hard and time consuming it would be to make a backup anyways. But I guess getting backups to work would mean that Homebrew would run as well.

I just logged on to afterdawn for the first time in awhile and can't believe that there is STILL no way to play a ps3 backup? Really? With the cost of blu-ray burners falling fast I feel that something should be on its way...Right? Come on swap magic v.ps.3!!!

I notice some of the PS3 games are already available to download and would fit onto a Dual Layer DVD. So in theory if the PS3 is cracked you wouldn't necessarily need the game to be burnt onto a Blu-Ray disc? For example Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is only 5.95GB, Call of Duty 4 5.34GB

The game images are around you just can't play them yet.
Just my two cents on the topic.

(No backups or ISO loaders though yet... sorry):-)

This may or may not be true.......

I have an idea. How about an administrator locks this thread until someone has useful real information?

Yes. It's a 2 step process 1) subscribe to this thread 2) wait. There is also a pre-requisite to stop posting useless shit. If there's nothing with a bit of substance, eg "dev team cracked x", NOT "you can burn blu ray now does that mean they play der?", then don't post.

Ps3hax.net is doing some work right now and is close to installing debug firmware on a retail ps3. They have not got it to fully install since the debug options still will not work, but this is a step in the right direction. If they manage to get this running then there is our ticket to unsigned code.

Cool, I was reading about this yesterday and how there running debug and playing around with FirmWare and etc. Although I don't know anything about hacking... to me this always sounds like a step ahead and maybe the PS3 can be hacked more into. Some ppl say this is not even a big deal since there has been hackers who have done something like this already...

After reading this i went over to PS3hax to have a read. Is the debug firmware they can "partially" install written by sony, or have someone written the program?
If someone has written the program, then does that mean that they can install firmware not written by sony? If so does that mean that if a CFW had been written they would be able to install that?
I know very little about hacking, so i apologise if this is a stupid question.
Personally i am not interested in the ability to play "backups", as there are only a 1 or 2 games a month i actually want to play, and i'd choose playing online over playing backups any day of the week.
The homebrew scene is much more appealing to me.

I truly can't believe that you can't make a backup copy... :(
