Playing PS2/PS3 backups on a TEST PS3

[XVISTAMAN2005]

Ok im going to make this really plain for you guys. Some of you are on the right track. But all of you are forgetting one thing. The SAK is worth less to dump with. All game disc are encrypted and the Sak leaves this encryption intact.

These dumps will never work. You need tools not public and they will not be so dont ask as im sure you will get banned for it, to dump the game disc files with out the encryption then any files with the file layer encryption have to be mem dumped then rebuilt in to a disc image for a test similar to a ps2 master disc but wtih diff encryption on the disc than retail.

Sorry to burst your buble but the Sak is not going to work for you. Futher more this a really grey area and no more should really be said about this, i just hate to see poeple waste there time. Thanks and have a good day.

so to make a long story short xvistaman, we need a full sdk to truly utilize our debug machines?

so my question no would be, what would you recomend we test owners do for now to get the most out of our consoles?

there is no 4gb limit for the emu hdd...its not fat format.

Oh Boy....

THX for clarification XVISTAMAN2005 and idone
And yes imtoodvs we need full sdk.

I only want to do this just for fun but to time im very busy.Im currently working on releasing CFW 4.0 for Wii and i want to provide some game mappings for ps3 and more i have some hdd dumps on my comp and i want to share the first 2MB in the hdd thread.
So if all getting a litle bit slower i for my self want to do this only for private purpose.

well there are some tools that have been leaked on torrent sites and stuch, i would suggest being crafty and serching for them on google no links can be provided some headway could made this way. also someone could also use the info they find and produce a public legal SDK like there are for psp and ps2.

but the only problem is that all debug code needs to be signed in order to run the signature is not the same as the retail units use but is still copyrighted sony code so this is the only problem that i see with a legal SDK. in time im sure that all the tool need to make a debug unit successful will be leaked and available so i would just wait and use what is available for now all good things take time.

is there any way to play retail games on debug PS3 console?

[imtoodvs]

retail games work fine on my debug unit, as well as ps2 & psx titles.
just a thought, but would the Lite-On DH-401S help in the dumping of a retail title for a debug unit. Also i noticed when i put my backup of all pro on a dvd, it came up as a gold data disc, could this also be a problem even though its roughly 3.5 gb?

Read before posting... -Rep. I'm going to close this for now... maybe we'll reopen it at some point in the future though.
