177w ago - Below is a video from
TheIndianKhan on YouTube and some info on Zpack for PS3, which claims (
ZPack FAQ) to be the first PlayStation 3 backup system.
To quote: 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.
Below is another upload of the first video as it currently appears dead:
Yet another Zpack video by

Rough translation for second video by
Riberygehtab: Zpack for PS3 - Backup Motorstorm 3 game on external PS3 HDD.
Installation: So easy, I've never patched a game console. Heard that contributed to the development of Zpacks a developer of the PS3 has.
Application: Very easy and clear handling. Backup of games take a minute to external HD up to 25. Online backups are playable.
Price: Well 100€ + 10€ shipping was a bit steep, but it was worth to me in the end.
Disadvantages: Not functioning under linux, delivery times are somewhat long, but understandable, is designed for your busy boys.
I have converted and installed the iso of the warriors I have, looks ok, I wonder if they are refreshing some of the graphics or a straight PS2 port. ...
yeah that would be interesting. used lawyer against this faker?
it's sad that people are bringing out fakes only to earn money throught webclicks... those people should be jailed -.-
So, what happened to Zpack?
We won't reopen this thread though until there is a legitimate reason to do so. Finally, congrats to everyone who contributed towards making this one of the most popular threads so far in 2010.
Update: The ZPack Web site went back online on February 1, 2010 but nothing changed... basically the new month started and so did their free Web host's bandwidth is all.
