147w ago - This weekend Spanish PS3 developers at
DemonHades (linked above) have shared some details and pics of a PS3 Blu-ray drive successfully connected and recognized as a reader in a PC.
With the exception of the
Lite-On DH-401S that can
read PS3 game discs on a PC, this is the first time an actual PlayStation 3
PS-SYSTEM 302R drive has been reported as functioning on a standard PC.
Many may recall last year the
DemonHades Team first
Mapped the JTag Port on PS3 Blu-ray Drive, and prior to that
GodzIvan shared schematics for the
PS3 Blu-ray drive pin-outs.
To quote from DemonHades.org, roughly translated:
"Our colleague has managed HadesTeam Calimba of connecting the PS3 BD player to the PC, as you all know the communication interface that uses the reader is bd flex belt so you do not have any type of connector for this work, so we have communicated BD reader to the pc to start to investigate more thoroughly.
Jungleflasher as both dosflash recognize it. Another good news in PlayStation 3 research community for DHorg and his followers from other Web sites. More information is available
here."
No.
Are you sad?...
...
It looks like it, but doesn't red mean it doesn't have it, or the color of the circle doesn't matter?
