• The release of two eboots (dongle-less method) from E3 team (the ones who gave us e3 flasher and e3 card reader) caused quite a fuzz and crossed opinions among the users.
    But now E3 team showed that both of the eboots works without a dongle (insert your favourite here).
    The problem with FIFA was fixed, and here’s the download link among other updates that Gary done about this.

    I think that E3 team releasing two Eboots it’s a sign not of progress but a sign that they don’t want to get butchered by the creation of a *possible* new *product* (AKA = Dongle) from their side. So the strategic part of all this it’s going (it seems) as planned.
    Now we have a video (btw thanks to the one who upload the video to put such an horrible WATERMARK) from their part that show us they are running Splinter Cell Trilogy HD (Blu-ray version).

     

    NEWS UPDATE #1:
    Video Proof by E3 Team is now working, and they also want to make it clear to readers of this thread that ‘Splinter Cell Trilogy HD’ * Blu-ray Version * (not the PSN one) has not been released by any other dongles, and that is the reason this game was included in this ‘video proof’ is because this Blu-Ray game needs new special ways to able to play correctly on CFW v3.55 consoles, something they claim the other groups are NOT able to do so yet!

    NEWS UPDATE #2:

    The E3 Team noticed the comments in the forums about ‘Fifa Street’ having lockup issues, mainly with the ‘World Tour’ option, as such they released this morning a FIX that basically adds the missing SPRX file that was also needed to be patched for the game to work on v3.55 CFW.

    They are sorry for all the inconveniences.

      E3 just shot themselves in the foot, by confirming that the dongle is completely useless to play new games and that it is created just to make money.
      one more reason to not pay for this scam. (TB or E3 same shiet)

      Shopping list for me either but i ll try to mask/disguise it from commercial point of view:
      They should release also 3 Japanese games as proof of theirs commercial intentions to release everything for everyone.
      ..:Atelier Meruru (to show they are gonna make every previous games working, and Meruru was one of the oldest not working anymore on 3.55)
      ...Nino Kuni to show they are going to release every kind of game for every type of player.
      ...Atelier Ayesha (not yet on shops) to show people are not gonna wait for eboots release.

      ....
      If not, that s mean they are only release 3 or 4 minor games each 6 months.

      Just to be clear - Splinter Cell Trilogy HD (Blu-Ray) is only going to be released with E3's solution. Only Games they fixed (for free) were FIFA and Ninja Gaiden right...

      So, they said in previous post that "we have decided to release 2 game eboots for free" that could mean that for next eboots we will have to pay ? And now that they said that it would not be dongle, I really don't get it how will that work...

      [MENTION=231140]Alvoca[/MENTION] we will definitely won't have to pay for eboots because someone can just buy an eboot and put it on mediafire or other file sharing site and that way anyone else can get it for free.not much profit would come to e3 from this kind of thing.

      Ill pay for the CFW, hell ill even pay for any tools made to alter the eboots, sprx, etc. I MIGHT even consider paying a small fee for the fixed files themselves. But for the love of God, no more stupid ass pointless dongles.

      It would be nice if the fixes would be for all nations versions of the games. I know the files can be altered to play the EU fixes, but if I/we have to pay for them, make it worth my money at least. I pay for my games, i dont want to have to fix them to use the fix. Thats just silly and would limit the number of sales in general. I know it may not be all that had to fix for the fix (ie: US -> EU), but thats not the point.

      i replaced the eboot for the us version of ng3 with the released eboot and the game starts up didnt bother seeing if it went in game or not but if you have the us version already it only takes time to try it

      If e3 really wanted to show and tell, they should have put out the eboots for portal 2, mw3 and batman. (Lol)

      All joking aside, letting e3 prove themselves should be what we as a scene should do. I know we have seen fakers come and go but Ive seen this movie before and I know where its going so instead of crying fake or foul, let's just wait it out and see the results.

      EDIT: I did go out and buy ng3 just to see if the eboot works. I'm on rebug 3.55.2. It works like a charm.

      Well, according to one of my contacts who had a chat with a member of the e3 team, it can take a year before the CFW is released. The member of E3 also said that they can use the card-reader for the eboot thing but they won't because it can be cracked easily.

      Well I wouldnt dismiss the idea that both teams are the same people, that way they can do the following:

      1) Release new dongle, sell at high price
      2) Wait a few months and release a clone device from a "different" company at a cheaper price.
      3) Try to stop that clone by releasing updates.
      4) More clones appear to of the woodwork, again from "different" companies, with even cheaper prices.
      5) Continue to patch firmware to try and block clones
      6) Claim the only way to block clones and support them and future updates is to buy their new dongle, again at a high price.
      7) Rinse and repeat.

      All the TB-lovers will buy the new dongle, what's $100 to pirating $1000s worth of games. And of course they will stop supporting the old dongle, so you will be forced to buy the new dongle if you want to play the newer games.

      What I think is that E3 might actually be behind the TB-Dildo. Think about it?

      First:

      E3 hasn't provide anything for free (except this 2 Eboots for ****ty ass games).
      E3 will never share anything for free (unless they really do by releasing all the newest CFW's 4.20/X.XX).
      TB was reversed by some devs so E3's (TB's) new strategy is to make another one and say that (This has never been done before by anyone, this is the new Dildo that will work on all OFW versions and this 2 games were never cracked for TB until now).

      Second:

      Why now? Why not before? Why not to share this info with other devs (you know which ones). No one want's to do this for free because it's not that easy and requires time, but GAMING shouldn't be about money. It should be about fun and sharing the knowledge/experiences with others.

      Those 2 games where released by tb awhile ago.
      I don't think tb would have put in all the effort into their new security packaging just to release a new dongle so soon.

      Its getting to a point for me anyway, where all of this is make me a headache. If your gonna release something do it with no warning like PSN rebug hack. Not release small sample with little info and get everyone fu cked up mad. If your gonna release dongle do it and be done with it! Not show people u can do it for free and say oh next one gonna cost you.

      E3 products right now:
      E3 Flasher (makes money!)

      E3 products if the community had their way:
      Nothing. CFW should be free and you should abandon all common sense in a business and make your product obsolete and the successor free (ARE YOU INSANE?).

      E3 and TB are the same.
      I'm not surprised. They're obviously scared naehrwert and Oct0xor are about to bust their dongle business wide open.
      This is merely a last ditch attempt to garner trust with eboots while appearing like someone else, in prep for releasing a 4.11/4.20 DRMFW as their fallback cash-cow after their dongle business goes belly up.
      After all, its natural to try to make yourself look more thoughtful of your customers when you're worried you're about to lose them.

      buy them

      Second, it's legal to backup games in some countries.

      And third, I think $ony deserve to have their games pirated, so I dont really condone those who have, but you shouldnt have to pay to hack your hardware unless you absolutely need to purchase an item to do so, not cos of drm.

      same like the first JB

      They will wait and see whats coming from the scene devs.
      They will use their "Pokercard" at the last moment, if the last chance is over,
      TB cracked wide open , than they will release the DRMMFW for 4.xx Consoles ,too push the profit again.

      One wild idea visited mt brain - initially E3 wasn't all the same TB tards. In the begining those guys produced their thing, sold it, and due too their client base is quite limited they exhausted it. Money flow stopped an E3 team put their dicks on their work and tried to start a real life, but one day one of them got an email from GayOpa. In that email was written suggestion to provide access to all intenet sited and accounts of E3 to GayOpa for pretty large amount of money. So they did... After that GayOpa gave all that info to donglers and they started their new dildo campaign under "new" and famous enough name. It's much easier to work under such cover than under no-name site, it's less suspicious and much less amount of ppl would believe that e3 and TB are all the same ppl.

      Second, it's legal to backup games in some countries.
      ppl saying stuff like that just don't have balls to say honestly " I PIRATE GAMEZZZZ AND DON'T CARE"

      Not saying theres any truth to this rumor. However, its exactly what they would do. Once your sales drop off and your units arent moving like they were in the beginning, you need to find a way to move more units. Selling a new and improved TB dongle would only piss off the clients you already have. So once your sales fall off, you package a new dongle under a different name to get all your previous clients to buy the new dongle and reap in even more money. Of course you give out 2 previous eboots because theres no loss, no extra work, and offers proof and suckers in all the old and maybe even a few new clients.

      Soon people will have more purchased dongles than actual games on their shelves. At least the old games are useful and not dust collectors like the dongle(s).

      Also of course you will get the CFW for free. Its no different than TB. You get a free updated CFW but you need the dongle to use the FW.

      The downfall as stated is that they have proven you dont NEED the dongle. The dongle is just how they are making their money and preventing anyone from giving their work away for free. If it was like the modchips of old where you NEED the dongle, id be more than willing to buy them. But forcing pointless hardware on people is the real piracy. E3 may be respected but I still dont like the way its being handled and I dont like being at the mercy of their timetable for eboot releases.

      If they release tools to fix your own eboots i would reconsider my stance somewhat. Otherwise they can stick their dongle and their slow release of eboots up their pirates booty.

      E3 and TB are one in the same even if they weren't affiliated previously, if I made a dongle that does what TB does and began to sell it, the same could be said of me.

      I usually read the whole thread, but i did not do this, this time.

      I think that they might be releasing the dongle with other features...
      Ex. a CFW with plugin features or something, since the decrypting/encrypting of selfs and sprx has gotten pretty far now, well what ever i say might be false.
      But i think that we might be getting the eboots for free, and that this Dongle is for something completely different, does not mean that we will not drool for those features!

      Either way i will not buy something that can be done with software alone...
      Never will, but will buy somethings that brings new hardware to the table.

      I did buy an original JB(that broke) and an Amazebreak(that i did not need at all, 2months later) so yes i will buy dongles if needed. But Blue Dildo and likes is ridiculous, lets just end this madness... If E3 is as great as they are trying to show off, lets give them the benefit of the doubt and wait silently for the dongle and Eboots, and if The True Blue team, wants they might do a Uturn and redeem themselves, then maybe we will forgive them....

      Ahhh god i hope my coding skillz get better soon, im seeing this great RPG based on the ps3 scene unfolding in my head.... hahahahha

      As things are now I´ll take the 2 freebies.
      I´m not into Fifa Street but I´ll give NG3 a go.

      I´ll withhold judgement on E3 until something concrete is announced.

      either way I´m happy that there´s another team that can crack eboots and TB has some direct competition. also the more people that know the way the greater chance of something getting leaked.

      I'd insta come (surely twice perhaps triple) if they released an eboot for the Ratchet and Clank HD collection, MGS HD collection and Jak and Daxter HD collection. Never been much of a Fifa guy.......... But, that aint gonna happen. Their proof of concept is out now, so why release more

      Now its just about seeing the price.... At least, if its cheap and I cave in, I would prefer paying to these guys over TB. Even IF they potentially are the same guys, then at least I know for SURE that the E3 team side of the company, did make a downgrade tool that helped alot and I'm supporting someone that made that and only potentially TB.

      Anyway... Let's observe whats going on in the shadows for now :D

      What competition? TB and E3 are one in the same, if they weren't we'd of gotten PES 2012, Batman Arkham City, Elder Scrolls Skyrim, you know something big. Not mediocre titles like Fifa Street and NG3.

      When you are in business if you wanna take out a competitor and make a statement at the same time, you slappem in the face.

      For example, the Pony car wars...what if Chevy brought out the 4 Cylinder Cavalier to compete with the Mustang back in the day instead of the Camaro or...

      Take a look at this video, this is what competition looks like, E3 didn't deliver a killer blow to TB, they sold themselves out to TB its called a merger and that my friends isn't how you compete.

      I'll show you what competition looks like in the following video.

      Uk Ice Cream Drivers Turf War - Mr Whippy vs Mr Yummy Fight - YouTube

      The following below is an example of the exact opposite of competition

      Tb should prove it by releasing not only 2 but 3 free eboots (Meruru Atelier especially) so everyone can see how strong they are and by this malicious process they can beat E3.
      if they don t release 3 eboot , it s means TB=E3 and no one will ever buy anything from them, fearing to be without any support the week after.

      Peoples will update and finally be able to use theirs discs without extra fee.

      In other hand, E3 should also release news eboot for free really soon, people probably already finish Ninja Gaiden 3 and can wait only fews hours more.
      If not, this is it, and E3=TB.

      Or they can make a stock auction for each eboot, NPDRM it like PSN game, sell it online, so people will have to compete and show how hard they want to play

      That's an awful idea. This situation is bad enough without upping the stakes to a black market auction.
      (plus, the thought of someone paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for an eboot instead of just buying a new game and new PS3 because they don't like paying for games is immensely comical in its irony.)

      You never know, they might be holding those back for the lauch of their device. Anyway when you get a free drink on the house it usually the cheaper stuff. top shelf goes for the paying customers. bad business to give away the top quality stuff.
      Like I said, I´ll wait for something to actually be annunced before saying there not competition.
      So your theory is that since E3 didn´t give away any of those title, they´re the same company as TB?

      so what s about this:
      They sell the eboot online but locked for certain period, after that it ll be automatically erased if you don t have theirs physical disc. A kind of demo locked but not for free.
      Also, the same can be done with theirs CFW, such automatically updated and locked if you don t paid each month.
      Instead of changing every 2 months theirs hardware dongles (so they can save production cost)
      Of course E3 will never do such thing if there are not connected to TB.
      But to proove it, they should release major free eboot such Meruru Atelier to hit real hard TB.

      Otherwise, people can legitimate think E3=TB= one or two eboot per secular (and only Battlefield type with only English language)

      Dongles are causing the PS3 to use more energy (via USB port to get powered up) which increases the amount of coal burnt in order to provide that energy. That means more CO2 in our air. Dongles are causing global warming.

      I just thought of a ingenious idea!! why don't we march into E3 headquarters demanding that all information should be free. and they will be like no way information will never be free! but then wear like NO WAY MAN INFORMATION WILL ALWAYS BE FREE! then we beat the F*CK out of them and force them to give the secrets and CAZAM! THATS HOW WE DO IT! BABY!

      So to use the dongle-less patches we gotta wait for a firmware or for the releases?

      paying money just to play offline campaign is BS.. PC, WII, 360 past consoles have been hacked to play homebrew or backups.. but its all free but look at their sales ps3 is in the bottom asalways if they dont get involved in the scene and make it open then more people will buy their console. true blue makes me sick!! i mean kakaroto, geohot, fail0verflow etc started it all for free now they can do what they want because of this devs now they are charging for a eboot it makes me sick to my stomach

      I got a Mass Effect 3 (EUR) just lying here. Waiting for dumb US/JPN and the occasional EUR eboot releases is just plain dumb. OFW is calling all of us...it's just a b* that doesn't support homebrew...This E3 solution might be the answer, it might not be. Just stop leading on noobs and wait for concrete facts.

      so just to clarify, with these new eboot fixes all you need to do is swap the eboot files just like before and you dont need an e3 device?

      Game Works fine but when enter on World Tour after selecting the dificult for event like bronze,silver or gold it freezes there, but i can still go back to xmb pressing ps "home button" and start the game again.
      already used proper fix and i still have the same problem.

      would this be called cloning in its own right

      People are against drm dongles but why not make open source dongles.We would still need to buy them right,and like e3 they could make dongle open source with added support for downgrading via usb stack,I think this is possible

      Al Gore headed the comity that made the internet available to the public.

      I lived through this.

      Unless you think gary is a large contributor to

      I can confirm that Ninja Gaiden 3 works perfectly fine for 3.41 rebug using 3.55 eboot fix. What you dont want to do is: Do not update to 1.02 if Ninja Gaiden 3 asked you to. Also, edit param.sfo for 3.41 through mm/om is not need.

      It was my understanding that the ps3 can be hacked via the usb ports,Surely there could be a way to enter via code injection:D

      Many of us, even those of us who arent interested in purchasing a dongle are eagerly anticipating E3`s release if for nothing more than to see what improvements they make over the true blue dongle. I suggest that as long as we are waiting, and at this point that is an unspecified time that E3 have a, "Free Eboot Friday" starting today and every Friday after until they actually release product. I further suggest they release an eboot of interest. Not the AAA titles but something middle of the road and not like the dog turds Fifa Street and Ninja Gaiden 3 either............be for real and post something of real interest to the majority of us.

      Anyway, just a suggestion.

      I didn´t have any problems with the US release BLUS30916. You do have to edit the param.sfo file though.

      Nope the *July* news until today was that the infinity dongle (someway connected to E3 one, i think) was using Matrix name and rep to troll, or i don't know.
      Some pics appeared and the other *Site* was an official communicate about Matrix team NOT being INVOLVED in this new infinity dongle.

      till the moment games can be played, it doesn't mean anything for them
