Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
My favorite is that the jig I used (because it was the only one I had) was a TI84 calculator: https://brandonw.net/ps3jb/
Slightly related to emulation, but I know some of us here like good technical videos about consoles, security, and the like.
As usual, great job by MVG and kudos to him.
Damn, now this takes me waaaaay back!
Still remember all the fuss when it was first announced, with people calling it a scam and whatnot, with others defending the ridiculous price on the basis that it amounted to only about 3 games or something.
I held on until copycats started to appear and finally bought one for around 30€ or something. Worked great.
Of course, eventually we all moved on to custom firmwares and these things became uselled, but goddamn, wasn't that a funny started for breaking open the ps3.
MISTAKES WERE MADE
Now I need to know how this story ended...
I had a X360 with DVD drive Custom FW, this was my last videogame, and I had read somewhere about Jtagged X360 and ESP modded PS3s. but the video ended with a nod to the failoverflow team and the discovery of the private keys of the PS3... what did this unlocked? was this closed in any way? can you play online? how does this work??
it would be if he talked about any of the projects he's up to these days, if any. Although i love the history of console hacking and homebrew videos he does.
for me though nothing will ever match the OG xbox days. that was a golden era.
I actually bought a Dingoo just to hack my PS3 years ago. It was the time my DS broke and I was like fuck it, I want a portable emulation device.
