(Updates at end of post) As im sure you all know by now, the PS3 has seen a mountain load of fakes, earlier this year we had ZPack, which used a USB Dongle to let you play ISO’s on your console, it of course turned out to be another fake, now we have PS Jailbreak which uses a USB Dongle to give you back ups, here is a quote from their site:
PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.
Easy to use installer and GUI takes you step by step.
Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.
Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)
Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.
Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.
Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.
Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port.
Not that im an expert at spelling, im far from it, but you would think that people who are knowledgeable enough to create such a device, could at least spell Blu Ray right.
The FAQ section from their website:
Q:Is PS Jailbreak easy to install?
A:Yes, it is a plug and play solution. It takes 1 second to fully install, without modifying or opening your console.
Q:Does it permanently modify my console?
A:No of course not, once you unplug it from the usb port it is completely disabled.
Q:How do you install PS Jailbreak?
A:Please consult our downloads page for our instruction manual. We have done our best to make it as thorough as possible to answer all setup and troubleshooting issues.
Q:What is the warranty?
A:PS Jailbreak is sold with a 1 year warranty. All our resellers will take care of warranty issues.
The only downloadable thing of their site, is this Back Up Manager
Here is a link to their site:
PS Jailbreak
A site called PSX-SCENE, claim to be the first and only site that can confirm that this is working, here is a quote from their site:
The first PS3 modchip has arrived and PSX-SCENE is the FIRST site to CONFIRM it is 100% REAL!!!
PSX-SCENE is the first any ONLY website to CONFIRM that this product is working 100% Not by speculation but by being the only website to actually have testers with actual product in hand! We will have a video courtesy of OzModchips soon so stay tuned!!!
I have been in contact directly with the manufacturer and can confirm some things you have all been asking about…
1. FAT32 is currently supported. They are working on NTFS.
2. They recommend staying on current firmware and not updating until they have deemed it safe. The dongle is fully updatable.
3. Online play does work but they cannot guarantee that it will work with all future titles.
4. Final retail units are ready to ship.
5. Official reseller list will be on their site in the next 48 hours. You can pre-order from any of the official resellers. There are websites out there now claiming to be selling but they are not legitimate. Don’t get ripped off. Wait until the official list is posted.
They posted a video:
Here is a quote from Mathieulh:
psjailbreak’s so called “Backup Manager” (which is pretty much the only thing available to download on their website) is a debug package including a regular fself compiled with the (massively privately leaked) 1.92 sdk, The package itself is generated with Sony’s official sdk tool (make_package_npdrm revision 1203 probably from that very same sdk) that makes it illegal to share because I am quite sure psjailbreak staff doesn’t have the appropriate license to be using the official Playstation 3 SDK and its tools. The binary itself seems to use the usual sce apis when it comes to the gui or copying files over. It does run on a debug console and displays a “nicely” done GUI that lets you “backup” your game to the external or usb hdd and “run” them later on. Needless to say the backups wont “run” as their “backup manager” is just a regular fself running with game privileges and doesn’t make use of any exploits that I can think of. Needless to say that if their so called usb dongle is real (which I doubt) it does extensive use of leaked sony’s software and keys/certificates.
So the only question is it indeed real or fake.
Source:
Mathieulh’s Twitter
Update 1:
RichDevX has posted a patched version of the PKG Manager on his twitter, that allows backups to be ran for PS3 Debug users (you will need to decrypt selfs). As of now PSJailbreak does seem like the real deal, however we advise our members and readers to NOT purchase the USB dongle/device and that there will most likely be a FREE solution soon.

Is FAKE because: 1 second time on install ? So many features from the start ? C mon, even on Slim 360 will take month to get a decent CFW.
The only hope is Demonhades with the BD ROM.

Seems to be real, but with the sketchy scene of the PS3 it's hard to be certain.
However OZModchips are selling this (reputable mod site) at $170 a pop:

Here is another video:

Though I wouldn't pay $170 right away till we get some confirmations of this actually working, and you can bet there will be a free version of this soon enough.

It wasn't actually a locked door, cause i'm sure the hackers cloned the jig module h/w and used it with their sw, so ps3 recognize the usb key like the sony hw itself, it's looks like a troian horse more than a firmware hack.
The problem until now was that no one shared the jig scheme, that's why no one was able to use this "simply" method. Maybe these hackers have really GOOD contacts

i just wrote a long ass article but i hit the "back button" and lost my post, but im convinced that its legit and here is why, (all speculation from my observations) when the ps3 initially boots up it starts loading the gameos (firmware) off of hdd and flash0 flash1 ect. the psjailbrake usb dongle is recognized as apart of the internal hdd with the same file trees and folders has the backup manager .pkg on it (like how u download the .pkg but then have to install it) and u install that .pkg to the ps3 HDD like a normal game/demo.pkg. the backup manager doesnt load the games it just backs them up, the usb dongle somehow tricks the ps3 (using debug ps3 BD emulator code) to reboot the ps3 and load files off the dongle and tricking the ps3 to think the usb hdd with the game backup is the BD-drive with a game in it. having a retail disc in the drive in order to play backups reminds me alot of the early days of PSP iso loaders (i assume its to pass disc validity checks)
i hope this works on really low ps3 FW like 1.10
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
the one GAY part of this is, with ps3 games that have required hdd installs u still have to install that data and it would be nice if we could some how skpi it since the whole game is on hdd now anyway lol.

seems kinda redundant to do it on a dev/test/debug machine as they have this ability already and this is (supposidly) what they used to make it work on retail PS3s.
the manager.pkg doesnt load the games the dongle does. the .pkg is just for ripping/dumping/installing the games to hdd or usb
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
i just noticed something on the latest video at 2:14, under the game category in the XMB i see this */apps_homeps3game/ and */install package files.
this hasnt been mentioned befor and makes me think he has a debug ps3. if not and the psjailbrake added those that would be awsome as mabe we could install retail game .pkg too and bypass any verification and psn account checks

i would assume the usb dongle is encrypted in the same fasion as the ps3 internal hdd
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
i think just came up with a way to be able to download off the net pre backed up games.
theory....
person A has a XXXGB hdd, rips a game to usb hdd, clones the usb HDD (like make a raw .img file of the whole hdd with a hex editor like winhex, and uploads said .img of the hdd to the net.
person B downloads person A's usbhdd dump and restores it to his same size usbhdd, loads up the backup manager and plays persons A's games.
feasable?

Well it seems like out of the blue we come from a scene that has nothing more than linux, java games and fakes, to a week that team jungle announces his collaboration with team hades and 3 days later the first "modchip" is released, well I was about to screem fake when i first saw this in psx scene, and in fact i did, but now after watching the thread over the "other news site" and here and see the confirmation cjpc and xorloser, i think i can't argue anymore, this makes me think was that z-pack stuff real either???
anyway how much has it been? september 6 of 2006 until now! it came a long away XD
to SniperSnake
Well i don't know the full potenetial of this so called hack if it turns the machine into a dev unit or not, as cjpc said the mode is started by holding eject and power while the machine is booting, it could very much turn it to a dev machine, but those characteristics were not shown or tested in the videos.
to your theory yeah its feasable but i think its simpler than that, but might be possible.
I just don't know how the hell we didn't get the files first, why the damn files didn't pass through the scene hands first before being used for a payed product, its weird how they got them first.

the only concern is if the usb hdds used with the ps jail brake are soemhow keyed to the system thats backing up the games kinda like how internal HDDs are
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
i have high hopes for this, and IMO it really doesnt feel rushed and that who ever is responsible for this really took there time, i like how the ps jailbrake icon/logo whatever had a pic of a de-branded ps3 (no offical ps3 logo on the console) as if they are trying to cover all there backs from sony sueing
i have actually always thought this is exactly how the ps3 would be hacked, instead of finding hardware or software exploits, or coding a bd emulator from scratch, that it would take modifying debug consoles code to work on retail ps3s. it was a long chain of events for this to happen,jig leaks, ps3 sdk leaks, devs working hard with debug/test ps3s figuring out the differences between the 2, this is that user friendly hack i have been waiting for 4 years for and why i still have a 60gb launch ps3 stitting in a box on 1.10fw i YLODed my 20gb launch ps3, blow dryer fixed it traded it in for a 360 had a dude off CL flash it for me as i gave up on ps3, 2 weeks later after i give up all hope this pops up!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
ive got this question, with a 3.41(current FW) ps3 can u install....say....the manager.pkg with proxies?
also if someone can get me the .self file from the .pkg that would be great as i can test it with 1.10 fw and the ability to load .selfs off usb
08-19-2010
09:52 AM
the dongle is needed in order to allow files of manager.pkg to be loaded in a retail ps3.
If u watch the video you will notice that ps3 starts by pushing power then eject, just like the service jig module needs to be loaded
By the way someone have manager.pkg downloaded? I'd like to test it in my debug but I have problem to get it from the psjailbreak home page since of the heavy traffic.

You need the dongle as it turns the PS3 into debug mode (more privileges).

And i hate people saying : "It's Fake, because there is no description how to use the manager.pkg!"
The Dongle turns the PS3 into a Debug one. (Like JIG)
Then you can load the manager.pkg, like in the video.

08-19-2010
11:28 AM
Holy Sh_t,
I haven´t had to much time for the forums but damn, where did this come from?
Of course my 1st reaction was scepticism but I´m believing this for a couple reasons.
Like other members have stated, I never got false news from psx-scene. Also Ozmod is a legit site.
So ya, I believe someone might have got a hold a the mythical ps3-jig and reversed it. so the dongle seems to make your ps3 work like a debug, allowing to rip games to the hdd and allowing them to be played.
That price is crazy though. 179? Plus I´m not that interested in backup games. It would be nice to see alot of ps3 homebrew pop up though.
very interesting stuff. I´ll be paying close attention to developments.
I wonder how long it will take to hack the "hack", lol

From my understanding the software used by the jig contains copyrighted code, so mod companys will probably just sell the cloned jig without software installed and direct customers to the manufacturer's site where they can already download the software to make the hardware work. This will keep mod companys legal, whilst the manufacturer will probably rely on hosting in countries with weak or non-existent copyright law enforcement.
Here's one of the leaked factory photos, the weak link for Sony as far as leaks are concerned IMO;

the release of the manager.pkg was never said to work by itself, it was never said that u can just put it on a usb drive and it will work, if you READ and watch the videos, the .pkg needs the usb dongle to be installed on the ps3, the dongle isnt out officially for retail yet, i want to know why u think it would have worked without the dongle? when they say "works on all ps3s fat and slim and on the latest fw" didnt mean that it works without the dongle
think man think its not that hard to understand, you just too eager and are jumping the gun dude

1) Not having to load a disk every time you want to play a game.
2) Not having to carry disks with you if you travel with your PS3.
3) Not having to worry about getting your disks scratched. Anyone who has young kids knows how important this is.
4) Faster loading off the HDD as compared to the PS3's notoriously slow Blu Ray Drive.
These are all important to me and what has extended my PS2's life for me. (I have a Fat PS2 with the internal HDD & Free MC Boot / HD Loader Installed)

more than likely, the dongle has special HW. ...like most USB keys/dongles a piece of SW will look to the HW for a special instruction (example) & then proceed....this is to prevent SW piracy...
for example, i have a Auto cad program that is awesome & its installed, however if i remove the USB key, the SW does not work. The usb key shows up as a 512mb drive, but there is NOTHING on it....ive even tried a BUNCH of file managers via Win & Linux, & nothing is on the drive.....
so this dongle is probaly the same

I'm wondering if Sony can use their jig to revert to lower firmware. I don't know if it's really necessary for it to have this capability though, it would probably make more sense to release a higher fw version fixing any fatal bugs in a previous release.
However, what if the fw is so corrupted that it doesn't know what fw it's supposed to be on, or it thinks it's on fw 99.99?
I think it's not implausible that this mod could lead to a way to downgrade the fw thus bringing back otheros.

PS3 Firmware (v3.42) Update
The next system software update for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system will be released on August 19, 2010 (JST), and will disable the USB ports that are available on all PS3 systems, launched in November 2006. Due to security concerns, Sony Computer Entertainment will remove the functionality through the 3.42 system software update.
In addition, disabling the USB ports will help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system.
Consumers and organizations that currently use the USB ports can choose not to upgrade their PS3 systems, although the following features will no longer be available;
* Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat

ok time to hook my ps3 again, i will try the old exploit of launching self files through the other os feature as i still on 1.50, and report back if anything works.
It was funny tomas, in fact their next step when they see that they cannot stop us, will be stopping the ps3 from reading blu ray games, PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of entertainment. like movies and movies, and i guess movies.
we will have a glorified blu-ray player!

And for £120? I want to know EXACTLY what I'm buying, but judging by the website it looks like these guys couldn't find their arsehole if they looked for it, never mind think up some technical schpiel about how it works.
Did anyone ever get their Z-Pack kit? No...

unless you have a debug/test/dev ps3 you cant extract .pkgs or get the .selfs i think if u ask richdevx nicely he can do it for u he already patcked teh .pkg to run on test ps3s.
since april (otheros loss and my 20gb ps3 YLODed on me) i haven't cared about the lackluster ps3 hacking scene. i even traded in the 20gb ps3 for a 360 that i flashed within a week of getting it
unless there is a .pkg extractor that came out when i wasnt around

so if no one sales it how is the general populous going to get ahold of it? I understand people are trying to dump the info from the usb but if it was that simple why would they even announce that they were going to sale these things? wouldnt it have been cheaper just to release the file for everyone to use with there own flashdrive instead of going through all the trouble of setting up a sales website?

Update 1:
RichDevX has posted a patched version of the PKG Manager on his twitter, that allows backups to be ran for PS3 Debug users (you will need to decrypt selfs). As of now PSJailbreak does seem like the real deal, however we advise our members and readers to NOT purchase the USB dongle/device and that there will most likely be a FREE solution soon.

Im so tempted to buy this although everywhere says not to that a free version will be released. If a free version is released Ill prolly go buy a 3rd ps3 just for homebrew. seens how my 1st PS3(60GB model) is currently bricked and I wouldnt want to get banned off my slim by sony

hmm you would think since ur loading the game off ur hdd that it would work fine but u wouldnt be able to back up any games ur self so u would have to play pirated games which is illegal.
08-19-2010
03:56 PM
BD-drive must be functioning for the back up games to load
08-19-2010
03:57 PM
Easy start up instructions
1. Visit www.psjailbreak.com/downloads - download Backup Manager and copy onto any standard FAT32 formatted USB flash drive
2. Power off your console (For Fat model you can flick power switch in the back. For slim you must unplug power cable and re-plug out of back of console).
3. Insert PS Jailbreak into your consoles USB port (you should have nothing else plugged in)
4. Press power button on console, release power button and then immediately press the eject button (You will then see two lights while the console loads. If the light turns green then that means PS Jailbreak is working,if it turns red then that means you did not press power/eject in a quick enough sequence. If you see red light please un-plug your console from the wall and begin step 4 over again).
5. Insert USB key with backup manager downloaded on it.
6. On main system menu go to "Game", then "Install Package Files", and click to install Backup Manager.
7. Scroll down game menu and you will see Backup Manager application, please click on it
8. Insert your licensed game that you would like to backup into the drive, if you wish to backup to an external hard drive please insert it now. Click O button to backup game. You will be asked if you would like to backup to external hard drive (by clicking no it will ask you to backup to internal hard drive).
9. To load a backup game please insert any game into the drive (You can have any real PS3 game in the drive, but you must leave 1 game in the drive to access your 100's of backups. This ensures reliability in the game loading process). Now choose the game you would like to load with Backup Manager highlighted. Scroll up 1 and you will see the chosen game that you have loaded from Backup Manager.
Click on it, an enjoy your games!

By the way if the dongle "transform" a retail PS3 into a debug one then it give it the ability to install debug pkgs, this means it's possible to install homebrew on a retail Ps3 that's awesome!
It could also be that port 1000 could be open just like the debug PS3 so it could communicate with a PC (APP HOME + Target manager and so on).

The first thing they should do is get other os back on, That would really piss Sony Off...............lmao
What makes people think there will be a free version, things like this have been brought out before, eg.. mypocketxp for pc, and it can not be copied on to another usb stick. You must use the stick supplied.
Also, I would say it is more of a hardware device then just a regular stick with software on it.

Here is more information from the official site:
*PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.
* Easy to use installer and GUI takes you step by step.
Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
* PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.
Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)
* Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.
Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.
* Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.
* Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port.

Hmm. This sure looks like a real deal. Much like the Jig for the PSP. Will be awesome if it works :D Perhaps there is a unique folder structure, instead of hardware?

Hopefully, it'll allow the use of PS2 backups somewhere along the line.
08-19-2010

It says it allows homebrew, so that is possible, also if it boots a retail into debug, who knows what switches we could turn on. :D

2nd if the pkg is hardcoded not to run on the debug units why the hell are you running it on a debug?

The feature i was looking for:
Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.

Wow.... people are slow when it comes to dumping the USB Dongle.
Over at the "other site" they state:
"Can the USB Dongle be dumped? Possibly however initial common attempts to dump it have failed. The dongle is detected as an Unknown USB device in windows. It does not show up as a storage device. Trying to raw dump it with programs like Hex workshop also do not detect it since it doesn’t show as a storage device."
1.Who the heck uses Windows for dumping¿ lol ..its called LINUX
2.USB sniffing on Linux is your best bet. Anyone with the dongle please use this method for dumping which is outlined here http://biot.com/blog/usb-sniffing-on-linux
3.Post the dump online and let the scene run wild.
and worst comes to worst use a programmer of some sort to dump the raw data and then use its dump to create a replicate.
It would be very funny if someone dumped the Dongle using yellow dog linux or Fedora lol... The PS3 being used to dump its JIG. Now thats creative.

This is oviously a scam. A USB dongle would be stupid because it can be copied/dumped whatever. Nobody would sell it like that, they would make a DVD to make it work.
Secondly, nobody would post videos to look credible. And finally why is www.ozmodchips.com registrant anonymous?
edit: ok i'm late, it has been confirmed it works. it's not a regular usb key, more like an usb modchip. I hope it gets dumped quick, it's a shame they're making money out of it

well no go with the otheros.self exploit i tried renaming the eboot.bin from the extracted un patched manager.pkg. eh i didnt really expect it to work, as the self needs to be modified. my next step is to try updating my ps3 from 1.10 to 1.60 so i can get folding@home on the ps3, then use ps3 proxy to trick the ps3 into installing manager.pkg instead of F@H.pkg.....
i get that i still wont be able to play the backups till i get a dongle but im curious if it will work pocket69 since u are allready on 1.50 u should just up it to 1.60 and be a test dummy worst case scenario it doesnt work.
i really dont want to update and i want to see if the psjailpreak will work with launch 1.10 fw, if it does then i want to see if the newest games can still play on 1.10 fw
08-20-2010
11:28 AM
Why are you wasting your time? The backup manager is unsigned, which means it will not work on your ordinary PS3. The dongle HAS to be used to run unsigned code.
08-20-2010
12:06 PM
he is not wasting his time, the ps3 has a flaw that can run unsigned selfs (not pkgs but selfs) which run through the otherOS feauture without checking the validity of the self.
08-20-2010
12:09 PM
By the way it's impossible to play new games with 1.10 fw cause of the fact new games need an updated firmware because new firmware carry new libraries needed to run the games.
Some games just check the fw version in order to let the user to update (while they use old libraries revision to work) the most games instead use new libraries because the developers used them to create the game, so can't run on older firmwares.

i tried the unpatched .self by renaming it to otheros.self and loaded it off a usd 4 gb sandisc cruzer. it started trying to load the .self but just rebooted back to the xmb
i just hope that it will be possible to get this ps jail break to run on 3.15, if not my ps3 is going back in the box till it is possible or something better comes out of this >
08-20-2010
01:04 PM
Mate, i can give you a retail self so you could see that it would run.
So you'll understand what i mean
By the way it's a pity to keep a console in the box just to keep it on a lower fw version because if something would be released just for lower fw it won't be for the masses (cause most ppl update the console) so it sure wouldn't be a supported thing (IMHO).
08-20-2010
03:37 PM
about the box thing, well im a old school PSP sceener i remember for years it was all about the 1.50 psp OFW, and the rule of thumb was to not update and add all of sonys security patches. i purposely bought 2 PS3s the first week they came out in the US (got 1 with the talladega knights bd promo first 50'000 ps3s came with.
i used one till it YLOD on me so i blow dryer fixed it and traded it in for a 360, this was all about 3 weeks ago. i have about 40 ps3 games but i wont update my 60gb just to play games i have already played/beat so there is no point, my flashed 360 gets me by for now, once a cheeper/free psjailbreak dongle/clone comes out then ill reluctantly up to 3.41
also im hoping for a way to emulate the entire ps3 fw off a usb drive similar to dev-hook for psp. then i can not update, just emulate 3.41 and play the new ****

Yeah, friends told me manager create a folder on drive with the game id, inside that are saved the files on disc without the disc encryption layer.
If one of the files is bigger than 4 gb then the game won't work cause manager cut it (like the image above where red dead redemption file is cut at 4gb, that file is like 8gb if i remember good).
The solution in that case is to save it in the internal hdd.

Hmm, I forgot this decrypts files on the fly...which means I could hook up a external hard drive and mess about with the models/fmvs etc

Yes, these ISO's can be obtained on NEwsgroups. But #1 rule. Never talk about newsgroups so if you dont know what that is.... dont worry

Those with a debug could also share games saved internally
Well, it could be that jb enables port 1000 even on retail, we don't know it yet.

I just dont want to get my knickers in a twist XD The fact that all these people are doing the same thing - loading different games and such, just makes me believe it even more. God i want oneeeee :'( or at least find a way to make it... Couldnt we use the pandora ipl from a PSP and put it on to USB with the files already have, then try to boot it that way? Im sure a PSP has more permissions than normal USB sticks?

New PSP app will surface that will emulate this. Once connected it will flash "Hello PS3 World" on the PSP screen

"The exact chip for the psjailbreak dongle has been identified, looks like dumping it will be easy."

Mine broke
tried to fix the screen, only made it worse. Im like a bull in a china shop when it comes to fixing electronics : \ Well hopefully we will have the usbs before that happens, im sure it will happen soon after it goes into the right hands.. ah looks like my prayers have been answered :D. Does this with the dump we will be able to make our own, without the need of special electronic parts?

Indepth test: http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_revie...lbreak_1473364
Main points:
* Backup Manager CAN be uninstalled (his previous comments on this were misinterpreted).
* Backups created on one console run on any other console with Backup Manager
* Backup to Internal HDD is far quicker than backup to external HDD
* Game updates already installed must be uninstalled or the backup fails to load
Test Results:
God of War III:
File Size: 40.10GB
Internal Backup Time: 90 mins
External Backup Time: 280 mins
Red Dead Redemption:
File Size: 4.83GB
Internal Backup Time: 15 mins
External Backup Time: 40 mins*
* Fails (file over 4 GB)
Condemned 2:
File Size: 6.43GB
Internal Backup Time: 15 mins
External Backup Time: 40 mins
Resistance: Fall of Man:
File Size: 15.40GB
Internal Backup Time: 35 mins
External Backup Time: 100 mins*
* Fails (file over 4 GB)
FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010:
File Size: 7.36GB
Internal Backup Time: 15 mins
External Backup Time: 40 mins
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good to know that Backup Manager can actually be uninstalled, also confirmation that Backups aren't locked to the console they were backed up on.
It's about 3x quicker to backup to the internal HDD than the external HDD, and games with files over 4GB don't seem too uncommon, so a large internal HDD will be required for best results.
This probably deserves it's own thread, but I don't have the privilidges to make one, so if anyone else wants to make one feel free to cut and paste.

Would be nice to know if games with more that 1 self file works (like Metal Gear Solid 4).

Most Japanese games have some words in the Roman alphabet, so I guess the game should be able to display it, but it might take some editing to fit the English text to the same space as the original Japanese. Probably lots of potential to break the game, but hopefully possible with a bit of trial and error. Even if it's just the menus it could make it a lot simpler to play.
The only Japanese game which I have that hasn't been localised is Wangan Midnight, looking forward to experimenting with that.

Have been asking myself this why hasn't Sony made anything yet, no reactions no comments etc, well apparently they did:
Upon hearing of PSJailbreak, Sony has seemingly put one finger in each ear and screamed 'la la la la not listening'. In one of the first responses received related to PSJailbreak, SCE Australia stated the following - "we don't comment on rumour and speculation." Although, PSJailbreak is not rumour, it is not speculation, it clearly works. Sony clearly wasn't expecting the PS3's security to be blown apart in such fashion at this point in time.
from maxconsole.net
it was a good read XD

SCE Australia is pretty low down on the heirachy, it's not really for them to comment for what would be taken as the whole of Sony on the matter. It's quite understandable for them to sidestep the question until a companywide line comes down from above.

Yeah we know that they are not SCEA but still its funny to see that they are in denial XD

To be honest I don't see what they have to gain from commenting on it before they've fixed it.
Acknowledging the problem will just give more unwanted publicity in the mainstream press, informing owners currently ignorant of the situation before they can update to the next firmware.

Maybe we simply make a big deal of it because people here were expecting this (or sort of) for years. But did you read it on the Time cover title? Or did you here it on radio/tv?
But in real facts:
How many dongles have been dealt worldwide? How many people are screwing Sony right now?
Tens? Hundreds? surely not thousands, which is nothing from an absolute/objective point of view (the point of view Sony should have as a worldwide group company).
In addition, the "dongle of death" is sold out so in sense, the scar has stopped bleeding for a few days.
Sony probably work on a solution and they will surely deal it soon via new firmware.
It's no big deal (yet) for them, and even if it sounds like earthquake to us, they are strong enough to face this with cold blood and brains (after all, they're paid for it)
EDIT: In addition, I doubt Sony thought their toy was unhackable/unleakable.
Every piece of electronics gets ripped one day or the other. Only fools think they are kings for ever. Sony is experienced in the console market for more than 15 years, it's not their first strike. If they are smart (which i dont doubt), they created a security that would last long enough to get benefits. I dont work in the electronics market, but if i did my decisions and product policy / sales policy would evaluate the risks of copying and the time it will take before my product get ripped. If they dont take this consideration into account, then they would be dumb and too proud...
