50w ago - This weekend the E3 Team have announced a new PS3 JailBreak alongside news of another PlayStation 3 DRM-infected USB dongle currently in development.

Below are the details, as follows: Official Statement from E3 Team Regarding a New PS3 Jailbreak

Few days ago, there was news posted on various Web sites that we had cloned JB2 (aka) True Blue (TB) successfully.

We clarify we did not clone any other product, but we did find the ways on how to allow the newer games to work on CFW v3.55.

Our research has found 3 different ways to allow newer games to work on older firmwares!

A way:

• No need of any new keys, but allows SOME new games to work on CFW v3.55 with a special bypass.
  
• We think the USB device on market uses this system. (Maybe)
  
• With this method, most games even v4.11 games can run on CFW v3.55 very easily.
  
• But there has some games that can't work with this A way.
  

E3 Team knows this A way...

Download: PS3 SPU Emulation v0.8 Module

To quote via Twitter (linked above):

The aim module runs to the hash check of EID0 which fails, cause I miss the data. SPU Emulation v0.8: gitbrew.org/~KDSBest/SPU%20simulation%20v0.8.rar

Extract the ofw 3.55 and there is the aim_spu_module.self. Make an elf of it. There you go. It's sony code I can't give it to u.

I love Physic Engines and I love the PS3. I guess I will port Box2D to psl1ght ^^

For the news sites: gitbrew.org/~KDSBest/SPU%20simulation%20v0.8.rar ... crypto function instructions implemented, aim_spu_module runs fine.

A tester tested the eid0 partial decryption of aim in anergistuc and in the spu emu. They match. Gj myself
