Hi all. This is a strange request and probably most of you wont believe me. But my old PS3 stopped working and I need a new one to continue my research.

My goal is to dump the bootldr by using hardware. I have an FPGA kit (Xilinx Spartan 3AN Starter Kit) and I believe I can dump the bootloader (decrypted of course) from RAM by sniffing the bus.

The problem is, I don't have my PS3 anymore. And I'm not willing to buy another one to keep testing this. So, if you have a spare PS3 you are not using, you could donate it for the greater good. I promise to release everything I find.

I repeat, this is not a joke or a scam. I'm about to become an electronic engineer (1 year left) and I know what I'm doing. You can trust me! I know several of you have PS3 laying around.

Thanks for your consideration. Please, trolls stay away!

maybe you should of kept to the same story as you said on psx psx scene http://psx-scene.com/forums/f177/wha...are-ps3-98016/

the main bit you said "My intention is to be able to install homebrew so I has to be a 3.55 or older firmware"

I hope this is enough proof for you.

The Xilinx FPGA kit I'll be using:





Very similar to what Geohot used (http://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php/PS3_Glitch_Hack)

i never said u didnt have 1 of them and wasnt talking about that

Well people shouldn't donate a system to you because of the following reason, they don't know you and the small likely hood chance of this being a scam. Even if you state this is not a scam the chance is still their because they don't know you. And from that I will leave a direct message to other memebers:

BE CAUTIOUS AROUND A POSSIBLE SCAM LIKE THIS, DO NOT DONATE WITHOUT THINKING!!!

But with your last sentence you are implying this is an scam which is NOT. This thread is targeted to people who have more than one PS3 and maybe they don't even use all of them. I know that I'm not a famous scener, that's why I attached the FPGA kit pictures.

why dont you just buy one and carry on , u did say on the other site you was buying one to go hoilday nothink about what u saying now

[ohhwun]

How about you donate your Xilinx FPGA kit to me so I can use it on my PS3s?

Yes, that's completely true. I was thinking in buying one. But I will not use it for development. Simple as that.
