Gisteren kon je hier op Eigenwereld.nl al lezen dat de PlayStation 3 na vier lange jaren stand te hebben gehouden nu gehackt is. Want door een usb dongle die de naam PSJailbreak heeft is het mogelijk om games vanaf disc naar de HDD te rippen en te spelen. Het enige wat er voor gedaan moet worden is de dongle en een game disc (maakt niet uit welke) in de console te doen en spelen vanaf interne of externe HDD. De iso's die op Torrents en nieuwsgroepen zwerven zijn (nog) niet te gebruiken om te spelen, je zal dus echt een fysiek spel moeten rippen.

De website Maxconsole.net heeft ondertussen een bevestiging gehad van diverse mensen die de PSJailbreak mogen reviewen, en dat resulteerde in het onderstaande review:

The main features

- USB dongle, easy to plug, no need to open de PS3
- Easy to install, with a smooth GUI
- Can be used on all PS3 : Fat, Slim, US, EU, JP ...
- Disable Sony updates, prevent from bricks
- Support for all PS3 type of games (not BD movies, DVD, and other consoles)
- Direct copy from game to HDD, or USB HDD
- Homebrews support
- Easy to update via PC

Before give details, we just want to confirm : It works. What many people has been waiting for so long time is finally here. Remeber you'ill need a working drive. If your BD drive is down, forget the dongle .

Dongle, Plug n' Play and booting mechnism

The dongle is here a prototype version, and final product could change. As you can see, a plastic white box present the product, in beautiful iron.

At this moment, the only thing I want to do is ... plug it, and play ! On the dongle there are 2 leds. On the PS3, you must unplug power supply et plug it agin to enable the dongle. Just after plugged it, power on the ps3, and hit "eject". If everything is correct, the dongle led become green. :

Green : Dongle works, ready to rip and play
Red : Issue, restart, and retry
green/red : Dongle is booting

Once the dongle has booted, here is the screen. Just copy Manager.pkg on the HDD, or USB HDD.

When dongle is active, here is the series of steps to go through.

1) The Launch Manager

2) Now under the loader, with ability to rip ISOS

3) Iso is now loaded

4) You can see it on the XMB now.

And now, just launch it ! To rip a game, it's about 45 minutes. An original game must be inserted. You can choose the one you want Enjoy !
