YOU WILL BE AMAZED, and even the scene's most seasoned veterans may learn a thing or two about the

PS3 scene! :smile2 And here it is...
Tonight
CJPC had some freetime and decided to install http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html along with
PS3 Other OS Installer and the
kboot from the http://67.117.136.164/pub/cell/iso/CELL-Linux-CL_20061110-ADDON.iso file. Once installed (
Installation Tutorial), he logged into the shell and dumped the
Extended OS Area (which resulted in 4.0 MB (4,194,304 bytes) by using:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/extendedos.img :sortdesc:
Next up,
CJPC connected his external USB HDD to his
PS3 (since he only has a 20GB stock
PS3 HDD) and
just (6) days after launch proceeded to dump (read "back-up" to $ony) his
Madden NFL 07 PS3 Blu-ray Game Disc (the resulting iSO image is only
7.08 GB (7,597,719,552 bytes)) via the following:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/mnt/exthdd/imagename.img :eek2
If you happen to own a 60GB
PS3, you can use this command instead to dump
directly to your
PS3's HDD:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/imagename.img =]
As we mentioned in our
Past News, the
PS3 Blu-ray Game Discs are currently not readable via Windows Blu-ray drive... however, the Blu-ray movies image fine on one of course. With that being said, the
PS3 Blu-ray Game Discs resemble the PSP file format. See for yourself- here are the:

As many recall, the PSP scene began with
Paradox dumping and releasing the
first PSP UMD iSO images, followed by several other release groups and finally the first image lanchers to play them following shortly thereafter. How long will it take for
PS3 iSO images to hit cyberspace? Time will tell, but after this Site News post it won't likely be long! :-oops: Let the
PS3 Game back-up experimenting begin guys!
Getting back to the topic, here are some additional pictures from

In other
exciting PS3 news today,
Radiskull let us know of a
new AdvanceMAME .106 Binary For PS3 released by
Jurai. It is basically the emulation code you'd need to use on the Linux in your
PS3 to run arcade games, minus any ROMs, and please use our
AdvanceMAME .106 PS3 binary is out! for related discussion. :tupg
Finally, if you're seeking to add a *GASP*
750GB HDD in your
PS3 then you may want to check out
THIS brief Tutorial on how to do it! The process simply requires both a SATA HDD and an
SATA Male > Female extension (only $14.99 from http://www.cpustuff.com/estore/product.php?productid=342&cat=434&page=1). Sweet news indeed, and more to come soon! :happyb
