Hey all

Another method is possible for launching games ps3/ps2/ps1 ?, remove your hard disk, and connect it on the PC (sata !) and to see how the demo games or full games ps3/ps1 functions are to install and be useful themselves of that for launching games, a little similar hdd xbox360

get Linux for pc (with cd live) and connect your hard disk for look information

Being given that the system ps3 is based on a Unix, possible to modify the structure of the hard disk perhaps made under linux idea is of remove the hard disk under xmb and to connect it under the PC linux, to replace or modify a party and to give it under the console.

(method similar xbox 1 hard disk encryption lol)

Not linux ps3 !! linux pc !!

except that for the nth time....no computer/os other than the ps3 and the XMB can presently read the Sony partiion are the filesystem is custom made by and for sony (though first guesses are it is based on reiserfs )...so you're out of luck here unless you manage a way to write a driver to handle this unknown filesystem.....good luck ;P

no sure SamY look old xbox ! system made in microsoft after hotswap unlock hard disk

I think that the hard disk reacted in function a specific key of coding to ps3... approximately this one is encrypted by the console which sending with the hard disk to resolve information encrypted... Not on, that remains a system based on Unix, it is true that the way in which the console encrypte operation is quite protected but it is random, the proof one can change the hard disk of the ps3

So have you tried this buddy? Have you been able to access the HD like this? As i tried something like this and got no results.

I would say for the moment it has nothing in common with the xbox :
on the first box you needed the key to gain access to the xfs from a computer (though you are at least right in a sense that the filesystem was an evolution of a common one).
In our cases with the ps3 you can see the linux filesystems but for the moment no one has seen a way to understant the filesystem of the xmb partition
so in the end the result is that you would be able to raw dump the disk but would not be able to alter files on it (unless you understant the file system)

Accessing an Xbox drive will always be easier than a Sony - Xbox will always use a version of FAT32/NTFS.
But as these are MS drive systems Sony won't use those (due to licencing and also not wanting to be seen to use Competitor file systems) and will use some kind of open source File system.

(I know Fat is not MS specific but they are the main software house now developing the fat/ntfs sytems)
