Well its 2010, and what a better way to start of the new year with another ISO Loader video. So what exactly is ZPack?

Here is the description by the creator:

I found this in my holiday in Korea, there are PS3 cafes which run their games from external harddisk without using the original disks. I am one of the first who tested this Zpack System.

Zpack is the first working Backup System for PlayStation 3. It was especially designed for PlayStation Cafes across the world to avoid damaging your original game disk and beware them to be stolen by customers. You will not need the original disk to play on your PS3 anymore just start any game you have directly from your external hard disk.

Zpack comes to you with a USB Dongle and a DISK with the Zpack Software, which you only need the first time for installation. The USB dongle have to be connected to your PS3 all the time. When you run a PlayStation Cafe with 8 PlayStation Terminals, you will need 8 Zpacks for each PS3 Terminal to run the games from the external drives. Please pay Attention for our Zpack bundles.

There are also two videos demonstrating this new loader:

YouTube - Zpack for PS3 Live Demo - Eat this SONY

YouTube - Zpack for PS3 Hack !!!


So what do you think, fake or real? Leave your comment and let us know what you think.

Thanks to Pocket69 for the tip

In the video 32 - 36 seconds the screen flashes

Look at the time at 0:49

After lunching ps3 in clock (in right top) is 14:56 and after pressing ps button is 14:53 epic fail

[necrodrako]

First point I would like to make, is that he launches the program from the 'Whats new' feed button. Second, since when does the PS3 have window management, and with a Windows XP theme to boot. Third, since when does a system patch stay at the XMB. Fourth it takes roughly twice as long to 'patch' as it does to copy the entire Blu-ray game. I propose to you that this video is a fraud, one option being that the disc is a dvd movie with the PS3 set to auto load. Thanks for your time.

very well noticed, indeed epic fail,
the Z on the disk makes it look so fishy

[telmom]

it's obvious that the videos are edited, which we can see on the time. But that doesn't make it fake. Let's wait and see.

@necrodrako it takes a lot to dump the blu-ray, look at the time of the console.
In this forum there is a man o say that was in contact with the dongle that put the ps3 in service mode, and it uses VBA userforms. Who knows?

No problem pirate always glad to help!

As for the video it has a lot of flaws in the begining the time starts at 1.56 then you can clearly see there is an edit and the time is 1.53 there is also two cuts in the first video that are noticeble.

to telmom that dongle sevice mode stuff is not so easy as people been talking, its more than just put the dongle in the PS3 and BAM service mode, i do not believ that this is service mode, and the Z in the background, clearly a theme, as for the box of the zpack lolol it seems like Xbox 360 game box XD.

lets see how this turns out but for me 99.9% fake, even worst is the guy creating a lot of profiles in youtube he has created at least 3 i think pretending its another person, to show diferent videos, the only problem is that the accent and the voice is always the same!
FAKE!!!!

Yes, you can have e.g. one ex.hd for your games and another for your HD movies.

After Installing Zpack my PS3 is freezing, I can backup and play games without problems but the PS3 clock is showing sometimes the wrong time/wrong date and things like that?

Yes, while installing and using Zpack the PS3 OS is "slowed down" (Asymmetric Scheduling is changing) The Zpack USB Dongle is taking Control of scheduling and of the resources.
