PS3 USB modchip claims to run "backed-up" games

[stick person]

The only thing I don't like so far is that it's hardware. When Sony fixes this thing, will the hardware itself become useless?

That has yet to be known, but as Tony said, exciting times are still to come, Team Jungle have joined up with Team Hades In trying to make A f/w that will write to all versions of the ps3 BD-ROM drives so we can all play our backups.

German website GameFreax has claimed to have successfully reverse engineered PS Jailbreak. They bring out some important information that was previously unknown. First off, PSJailbreak was apparently NOT a clone of Sony’s JIG, instead its a legitimate exploit that was developed. Second, we can NOT upgrade PSJailbreak without the use of additional hardware - maybe the company planned to sell another component to upgrade the unit?

Here is the translated post:

We have taken a closer look at this PSJailbreak dongle
We can confirm that the PSJailbreak is not a clone of Sony’s “Jig” module. PSJailbreak is a self-developed exploit. The chip is not a PIC18F444 but a ATMega is used with a software USB interface. This means the chip is internally capable of emulating any USB device. PSJailbreak emulates a 6 Port USB hub on which different devices will later be connected and then disconnected. One of these devices has the product:vendor ID of Sony’s “Jig” module, which means this had played a certain role during the development of PSJailbreak role.

But lets start from beginning: When the PS3 is powered on … A USB emulation device will be connected, which has a too large of a Configuration Descriptor. This Descriptor overrides the stack with a PowerPC shellcode that gets executed. Now, various USB devices are connected to the emulation USB hub. One device has a large Descriptor with a size of 0xAD, which is part of the exploit and contains static data. A short time later (we are talking milliseconds here) the jig module is connected, and encrypted data is transmitted to the jig module. A few milliseconds later, the Jig module answers with 64 byte static data, all USB devices are then disconnected, and a new USB device is connected and the PS3 launches with ‘a new feature’.

PSJailbreak is NOT software update-able. The Update feature which is mentioned, can be done just with hardware modifications. So by ‘update’ they mean ‘buy more of our stuff’

64Byte static data that is emulated by Jig sent to the PS3

Update #3: According to Inaudax on IRC, Ozmodchips has just cancelled all of their PSJailBreak pre-orders and is refunding their customers money back.

Update #2: According to court documents from the Federal Court of Australia File #VID727/2010 Ozmodchips Pty Ltd & Ors is also involved in the IP claim by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited & Anor with a hearing scheduled for August 31, 2010.

Update: Australian reseller Quantronics has removed the notice (outlined below) from their PS JailBreak PS3 modchip page, and has now changed the item's status to "no stock" to comply with the court order.

Online Australian retailer Quantronics has been ordered by the Federal Court of Australia, Victoria District Registry on the 26 August 2010 to halt PS JailBreak PS3 modchip sales and distribution.

Their Web site currently states the following terms, to quote:

"Quantronics will not;

a. import PS Jailbreak
b. distribute PS Jailbreak
c. offer them for sale to the public
d. provide them to another person
e. otherwise deal with them

Unless a continuation of orders or permanent injunction is granted to Sony Computer Entertainment, this product page will be returned and sales will resume on the 31st August 2010."

if so ill still get one just to see

[kantamanto]

damn

its only a matter of time before the US does the same thing. why cant us Americans make anything? i notice that all the hacks are done overseas i would love to buy from a US seller because for 1 it would get to my house faster, and 2 i dont have to worrie about customs and crap like that.. smh my advice, dont buy just wait till someone releases the torrent it would be much easy to get and free

[adultswiivi]
