Hacked2123's PS3 Back-up Video! - Page 5 - PS3 NEWS

"because as of yet the original will not boot", the problem from what i can gather seems to be the original 'formatting' stage, I think there is information missing which allows the boot process to continue (because of the format). This same LACK of information is allowing this disc to be read and TRY to boot!

I notice you had RR7, this game can be installed onto HD and I think that your procedure can run the game with ANY disc installed!!

You're half correct, they did state that (at the time anyway) Blu-ray disc checks were not present... however, the "thus it would be easy to run games from DVD-R" part isn't correct. They don't run games from disc (never stated they did), it's all done via HDD. I'm sure once this "IN" (the XMB Hole) is explored a bit more things will progress in that direction. For what it's worth, there is NO "disc swapping" involved in the method PDX uses... I believe I mentioned/confirmed that before here, but now I did again for the record. ;-)

Question: Is it posible to build a pkg file with the sdk, with the content of the mkfs.self or something similar so that it is readable on a retail console? I mean if u code something with the sdk is it signed or not? If it is we could just make a pkg and install it via the proxy on our ps3...

My theory is that the initial "wiping" / formatting of the hard drive might result in missing swap / working disk space used internally by PS3 to run games and other apps thus resulting in the current crash after boot ... :??

I hadn't read the above posts and used simple assumption by reading the information regarding the exploit!! (on the main news page). Ie: it tells you right at the start about the format process and most of us would understand that it would be this that is creating the 'block'. BUT its good that GREAT MINDS think alike ;-)

I think there is something like the LBA. PS3 check if the launcher of the game is at the right LBA. And i think the LBA of the DVD can't be the same of a BluRay Disc. Somebody sould test this method with a BluRay disc. If we test with a BluRay Backup, this should help us to find the problem. ;-)

Yes you are right..similar check of LBA exsist on some game for PS2 with dual-layer support example the oldest Xenosaga. Someone has tried with the backup for ps2? Same LBA and similar support... i think can work!!

Great work Hacked2123! I'm looking foward to the progress of this.

**HackITandC** · 06-08-2007

Another thought: Can someone scan the HD in 'special' Mode and compare the difference with 'normal' mode HD (this will provide interesting information for you!!) ;-)

Sonix is a DVD check genius, maybe he could find out if Blu-Ray checks exist (which I think they do otherwise Sony is extremely stupid).
