Here's a reason why I hate when people say that ''why do you want the keys to leak, it will lead only to piracy, you hackers are bad people and deserve to die''.
No ITS NOT going to lead only to piracy.
Without the keys, we cant decrypt any of the new .self and .sprx files inside a OFW over 3.55. Without them we cannot see for example what did they change on the ps2 emu files...
Yet another reason why 3.55 starts to get rusty, inevitably.
It starts to get old even on developing side, the first time that developers and ps3 scammers will agree.
If only someone could decrypt those files, even without leaking how he did it...

The scene doesn't have anymore competent high skilled talented devs to be honest. Developers are mostly scared and unwilling to take any risk. Sony's security departement surely got a raise

I need to try this.

Has anyone tried a psone game with this method? just curious if that works like this as well.

Lv2diag.self (FILE 2) Is the file the first post needs? didn't check this out just googled and found it..

Hey, i understand what you're saying, but think this way: Why do we need people finding ways to jailbreak a 3.72 for example, and start filling the web with news, as we all know, sony is not only seeing, but they must have some "eyes" even here on PS3HAX for sure..

So, instead of releasing something now.. Better to do like the jailbreak way.. Wait for the big games to come out, then, "secretly" release a CFW, than do it now, and sony ask devs to wait a fews more days to release a game, and giving us a new FW, and we would be back to where we were..Waiting again for a new CFW..

This thread is just about some findings about PS2 games, not something new, but hey, im just trying to help on something..

PS1 games work on all PS3... So, no need to use service mode.. But if your PS3 is open, and want to play some CD burned games, without being on CFW, even on FW 3.72, if you open your drive, you can do it with PS1 games only.. If you have a progskeet, and want to try on 3.72, good luck.. If your PS3 is phat model, you may have better luck, on slim models, until now, only reported by me working ps2 games, but with 3.72.. 3.55 seems not to work with ps2 games on slim. Hope i've explained well..

Apreciate your feedback..

It would be good, to see some moderators or admins, to say theire words, cause, i think some people are thinking it may be faked, at least some do say it works.. on poll i have 7 positive, but it dont say, forgot to choose that option to show who voted. If possible some moderator to change it, or giving his feedback, would be great.

Thanks for comment

I know just curious, because doesnt most things like ps3 game launching not work.. Just curious if Psone were tried by anyone..havent been service mode but one time..

Just may help in understanding why emulator is unlocked.. I would say test a PSP game but we cant throw a UMD in there ...

PS1 and PS2 games, you can do it, PS3 not.. Maybe, someone, one day, find a way to create a swap magic like, for PS3, and we may get some progress.. Just guessing.

Thanks was that file above the one needed to get out of Service mode on 3.55? just found the link didnt check it out..?

According to recent news, posted here on front page, there was a way in progress, that some PSP ISO, think was cobra developers? Don't remember well..

We all know that PS3 has the files to play PS1, PS2, and even PSP games... But, like you said, we can't put a UMD drive on a PS3.. Would be great to see.. Im also curious about that PSP thing, maybe someone find a way.. Or maybe, as we on 3.55 have easy acess to service mode, maybe, try to load it with multiman? :S Maybe deank can see if works, or someone with more knowledge to search a way.

PS3 on retail are "locked" almost completly.. on service mode, some doors are opened, some, just need to take down ... Lets see where that take us.. If one step forward or back.

thanks

Yes, to get out of service mode, on 3.55, you need that file, to get back on retail mode.

Hope i can help you more again.. Just ask.

PS3 and PSP have tackled the idea of Swap Magic tricks. On PSP even if you find an in-house burning software/hardware with media to write on it, once you put out the disk or it sees a failure or something it will read again the launch file.
On PS3 with games that have an SFO that state its a disc game, once you press the Eject button PS3 will exit to XMB. Also PS3 disks come with an extra encryption layer over the disks, so if the encryption layer that is getting checked all the time and if it doesnt fit with the one of the disk you booted after a couple of seconds PS3 will stop reading the disc.
Swap Magic is history, all consoles after XBOX 360, PS3, Wii have found 2 ways that are simply make them harder to produce disks for their consoles but at the same time blocks completely the idea of bootable disks. 1st is the reason I said above but even before that, they don't have the authorization formula to authorize disks to work on consoles without recognising them as non-original disc.

Second I wanted to ask:
If you have an opened PS3 tray (and you don't have an original copy of Swap Magic) why don't you try swap a game with Swap Magic (3.8 or 3.6 I think is the ones that allowed uLaunchElf on PS3) then use uLaunchElf then boot Open PS2 Loader and boot a game from USB? My cousin is still using this on his CECHA console and it works perfectly, even games that didnt work normally worked that way...
