Sinnerman has leaked images of the PS3 JIG, and reveals that he and StreetskaterFU are testing the PS3 Service Mode. Not much information (or results) are available yet, but this is a sign of hope for homebrew on the PS3 after a very long time. The picture below is used to create registry files to finilze the PS3 JIG process (SVC-H3A306SS).

I really hope, that SKFU will be a part of the final REAL breakthrough, he really deserves it
And Sinnerman? only thing I have to say is.... AMAZING
We must not forget though, that nothing actually has been achieved yet...

You know it's funny. I've been following the ps3 public homebrew scene essentially since the ps3 came out, and I guess within the past year I can honestly say I've stopped caring. Gone from checking ps3hax once a week or so, to checking once every couple months. I hope this leads to something, but I agree with the above poster, I hope that SKFU has a big hand in this, because he's been working hard and long. He deserves it.

I hope this leads to something....I honestly do....whether it does however is a completely different question.
Still, as long as people try there is still hope, after all it took 2-3 years for homebrew on the ipod nano 2g (its the first encrypted model).

if i`m right this means that these guys can get authentication from the website you guys found a while back in the beginning of this year before Cex and Dex was revealed to the public. So from now on we can move into service mode and get out of service mode whenever we want to ?

I hope this will lead to ps3 homebrews ... I know that we don't hear everything and they are working in underground society but this could be big step

you guys will do it one day

That image (or rather the program it depicts) doesnt look like anything you'd expect a professional company like $ony to use in-house.
There are countless grammatical errors; so many that it just looks fake.
The image is badly stretched (You'd have to TRY to make it stretch or do it by accident in an image editing program). This leaves me to belive that this is a pretty poor attempt at a prank.
If the user who obtained this image can understand how to (Bearing in mind he/she 'claims to work for $ony...):-
1. Use the ' Print Screen' button on his/her keyboard, and paste the image into Paint.
2. Use the 'Rectangle Tool' to black out some text.
3. Simply highlight the program window on the image (if it IS a program).
4. Copy and paste the highlighted area into another mspaint file.
then the user should be able to give us a decent image without poorly stretching the bloody thing..... FAKE.

You may think that this if fake, however StreetskaterFU has confirmed that he is working with him and that it is real, so what more proof do you need that it is real.

a vid, more pics i dont know.. something you can look at is always better then some ones word..
tough i have got good hope

The spelling is pretty accurate, although its the use of capital letters that bugs me IMHO.....
I didnt mean to offend, just stating the fact that the use of capital letters in the screenshot (and the fact that the screenshot is stretched no less), isn't typical of a multi million £ company. I work in industry, and I KNOW that if I created a referential program or proceedure I would get bollocked for creating one like that lol.
1 of 2 things: -
1. The picture is Fake. - Period.
2. $ony's application development team cant code a program with correct grammar. - This is Real! (I hope so lol)
Hmmm.....just sharing my observations with you all, I mean no offense! :P
09-27-2009
05:59 PM
1. You don't know if the picture is fake . you are just assuming it.
2. It wasn't meant for public use, only for internal, and as it has probably just been translated quickly, what does it matter?
I am promising that it is real, but SKFU is legit, and he has confirmed it to be legit, and unless he (VERY UNLIKELY) can't spot a fake program, then I would go so far as saying that I'm certain it is real

I think that what we should be discussing here is, will SKFU accomplish anything with this, i don't think that is hard and i think he can take advantages from this tool, and a more important question, will SKFU ever release his accomplishments? that is what I really doubt, and i am not attacking anyone here, but when he found a way to run old games from hd or whatever it was, he never released anything saying it was dificult to do, hell i don't care if it is dificult or not i like to try new things.
So I ask you SKFU if you managed to find anything please release it so we can all try it out.
(I am not trying to begin a flame war)
Oh and by the way I know SKFU has not been around the forums but has been on IRC so if you guys can please ask him some more info
09-28-2009
05:23 PM
SKFU has a life and a job, if he accomplishes something with this, he will tell us in his own time
09-29-2009

can skfu get in legal trouble for releasing or leaking this program? i mean is this offical copyrighted sony software? i know sony will go after whoever hacks the ps3 to play ps3 backups
09-29-2009
08:23 AM
And there are many software leaks, hacks, and cracks, but I never see those doing them in jail.
09-29-2009

Lets just say I know someone who knows someone, its why i called Fake on original image. I enquired about this to Mr X , and this is the result.

Sorry if i generated hype, didnt wanna upset anyone. Just prooving how easy it is to fake something like this.....
Take what you will from my leet haxxing skillz :P lol
09-29-2009
02:35 PM
Though well done in your part, this does not prove that it is fake, anyone with the skills to clone a program, could do what you just did, so fake or real, there isnt 100% proof that it is either.
Only time will tell
09-29-2009
02:43 PM
lol thanx was a bit overhyped :P
09-29-2009
02:49 PM
Dont get me wrong, I 199% WANT it to be real lol!!! Just something inside me is telling me it cant be.
Meh, i blame all of the other wind ups, and just presume everything is a wind up nowadays....
Sinnerman / SKFU - Proove me wrong! (plz lol)
09-29-2009
03:08 PM
Please stop posting calling it a fake Grock, I think we are clear on the fact you dont think its real, but until it is confirmed either way please let that be and end to it, If it is fake then so be it, but if it isnt this sort of thing is extremely discouraging and will only lead to any news on it being released elsewhere first,
09-29-2009
03:11 PM
It is Feal (Fake + real) xD :P
Ok.... i'll quit it now xD, if my sharade is potentially damaging to the site remove the post.
09-30-2009
09:50 AM
LOLz nice photoshop edit, lets have a little faith, i am thinking of something that would confirm us that the program is indeed true, without giving to much information away, maybe SKFU could show us something, hell i don't know, something that can undoubtly confirms "its true!" so people would stop screaming fake.
09-30-2009
12:41 PM
As many times as SKFU has been called a fake, we are a lucky he still chooses to do the work he does.
10-01-2009
10:53 AM
whats the harm in waitin a few weeks to see if SKFU gets any results from this ? After all most people have been waitin to use the full potential of homebrew on there ps3's since it was realeasd 8-) .n dnt forget SKFU is well known to this comunity and at least he is trying to help the sceen .more than most peeps that just wana use the end results lol n wnt say even thanks if there is a breakthrough .THANKS .

I'm unconvinced. It looks like it's coded in Visual Basic by some looser try to make people believe he has it. Grammatical errors.
Somehow I doubt that the PS3 can be restored and accessed with some terribly coded VB application.

You'd be surprised what you can make with VB.
10-05-2009

I understand what you can make with Visual Basic. I am fairly proficient with Visual Basic. This program just looks funny.

Just because there are black bars in some colums it doesn't meen that it have to be fake. xD
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
This thing can be real because, how long can we wait for a app which can run ps3 games. xD I hate spending my money on games because they are so expensive, and I don't think I am the only one who thinks so. But I am really excited, and I am looking forward for it. (:
10-07-2009
04:55 AM
Then stop buying games consoles, sell your PS3 or give it to charity, people who rip off games are lamers, who have no understanding of the time and effort that is put into making a game, games are not expensive, they are quite cheap.

I dont like my PS3 because I cant rip off developers....lol. Don't get me wrong, I have pirated my fair amount of media, but if I really like something then I pay for it. It is people like you that are the reason we are not able to run homebrew and have this ridiculous amount of security.
10-07-2009
04:51 PM
we don't care for iso loaders (most people here at least) so if you want an iso loader, hack the machine yourself and build an iso loader for it show it on youtubez and have fun!
10-08-2009
11:01 AM
about leaks, well i do think that someone has been caught and fired, its just not public news that sony would share, but i belive in the past ive heard rumors of people being fired over leaking debug FW or something. leaks are leaked by leakers who know what they are doing is wrong (in sonys eyes not mine or the majority of the ps3 hacking scene lol) and they try to cover their tracks.
what we need is some disgrunteled fw coder or .pkg encrypter to leak us the holy grail of sony software, the signing software....:thefinger:
10-08-2009
03:19 PM
Not gonna happen. The reason people don't usually leak stuff is because it's confidential information and they could face jail time if they did.
10-14-2009
06:23 PM
How about companies that rip off gamers? They are lamers lol
God Father II, what a disgrace. Is $70 cheap for a piece of unfinished garbage like that?
My point is, some games I think are not worth what they are selling for. It gets worse when you buy those games, giving the devs your money and they continue to produce crap at the same price. Like EA. I think it's rare to find an EA game that is actually worth paying for IMO, and it's because of them we don't have a party chat system and in-game music (another story), so screw them.
10-14-2009
06:34 PM
If there wasn't piracy in the first place, buying them would be a lot cheaper today. when people steal, someone else has to suffer and pay the price.. Qiality costs... Also, no one forces you to buy games like godfather 2, if you don't like the reviews, don't buy it. Simple as that.
10-14-2009
06:39 PM
I wanted to buy it, I had high hopes for it because the first one was great, but no. It's games like those that are clearly just cash grabs and I feel bad for the people who buy games like those and open them before reading reviews...
10-14-2009
06:57 PM
It seems to me that you feel that downloading a rubbish game, instead of buying it would make it more enjoyable for you, that somehow it would magically reform into a great game, if not then your quote of me is irrelevant and invalid.
So i shall restate what i stated before, anyone who rip off games are lamers, full stop, if you don't like a game, don't buy it.
10-14-2009
07:07 PM
I never said because one developer makes bad games I'm gonna steal theirs and everyone else too lol
I'm buying Demon's Souls tomorrow because it looks like a great game and has great reviews (besides it being "extremely hard").
10-14-2009

07:46 PM
Ugh... Why would I download a game if I know it's bad? I mean as in (example) say FF13 comes out, I don't know if I'm gonna like it as I'm not the biggest RPG fan so I might download it for the 360 but if it sucks me in (like Crisis Core) then I'll go and buy it for the PS3 (cause PS3 > 360
). If not then the disc will just collect dust, I'm not going to play a game I don't like, and I'm definitely no achievement whore...
10-15-2009
05:26 PM
I agree that some companies rip gamers its indeed true, but if you think that those games sucked why would you buy them in the first place. instead of "stealing" the game don't buy it i think its better but thats just my opinion.
10-15-2009
07:18 PM
pirating games in protest doesnt work. game devs who put out unpolished crap dont care if you pirate there games. they got there money already for devloping the game, and know it wont sell anyway.
if you like a game and want to see a seaquil just buy it (and preorder, that really motivates them to make another game)
10-19-2009
01:19 AM
Not saying that I support piracy or anything but studies have shown that Used game sales hurt more than piracy does.
