Uhhhhh, is a long list, but the things that interest most to me are hardware:

-If they are going to emulate the BD firmware controller (inside a chip)... its needed to have direct connections with this controller output pins (maybe this is the reason why the BD is hidden in his photos)... how many wires are needed, and what are this signals ?
*Note the controller input pins probably can be taked from the ribbon cable... but not the outputs

-How many data lines are "switched" at the blue FPGA board at the right ?... this is supposed to be a "secure channel"

-How works this key they named "drive key" (and optionally, there are another keys involved, e.g: for the BD controller chip) ?

Why would they show the PS3 USB port??? The PS3 USB port is NOT used to emulate a BD drive, please use some common sense.

People, how hard is it to grasp this concept? Its a BD drive emulator, You plug your USB drive into the 3key box which in turn emulates a BD Drive, The 3key plugs into the PS3 in same way as the real BD drive does and instead of reading optical media it reads ISO's, Its a fricking VIRTUAL DRIVE so stop all this stupid tinfoil hat crap about not seeing the PS3 USB port as its 100% irrelevant to this device.


ISO>USB Drive>3Key>PS3 Sata


....get it?

I do agree that the current reseller list looks crappy and suspicious, lets hope they update that soon.

No. Why would it connect through the PS3's SATA port? The product is similar to the xkey, but the console itself is not similar to the 360.

@Cheesethief

The BD is a sata device so this will have to sit between that connection.
It doesn't mean it connects to the port but it does have to intercept the drive and the mainboard.

Cable from the drive to the x3key, cable from x3key to the mainboard. x3key intercepts anything to/from the drive and reroutes to the usb. Simple.

You may not even need the BD connected after installation if this truly emulates the BD drive.

Just one example

Quote from @deank

All CEX versions of the listed applications are updated to be compatible with 4.21CEX CFW (so, not only multiMAN would work on this new free dongle-less firmware)

Nice to see support for something that "doesn't exist"
