once they can a full hold on ps3's makeup , it will be like psp all over.

little by little

I came.

He could have the TV connected to another PS3 thats out of site. We all know too well how far some people will go for 15 minutes of fame, especially gamers.

aint so bright cause you can see his face in the reflection of the PS3 in the first video. why he has no shirt on is beyond me. I really doubt that a hacker would even post a youtube video. in the case of the psp most hackers just release the hack prcedure and let other people use it at there own risk, kinda of like beta testing to make sure it works for alot of people.

Oh come on. Seriously lame.

He uses a game that has a 20 min install. As everyone knows DMC4 runs completely of the HD. I can do this trick at home with removing the game disc after the it has loaded.

LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME

It been hacked but yeah the guys on the PS3 foums where working hard and couldnt find a way out. Then how can he. Lets see what is actual case.

like he could of made that video then hit play and made it look like he was loading the game up without the BLU-Ray.

oh god sony if this is true hunt this guy down

Here's an step by step translation:

He begins thanking his friends and family.

He downloaded Devil May Cry and just unpacked it, so he shows the files in Devil May Cry, maybe ISO (he calls it a DVD-Rip).

Then he opens the software used to generate de key file and the PKG. The software generates the key file and "merge" it with the ISO to create the PKG. The key takes 15 seconds to be generated (he shows it, numbers). Then he shows a file with a big name (lots-of-numbers.pkg), don't know what file is this, he doesn't makes that clear.

He uses ProxyServer to transfer the file to the PS3. He shows it, and also shows there's no game whatsoever in his PS3 (demo or disc). He shows the router, the cable and his external harddrive receiving the file.

He says he must pause the video until the transfer is complete, or else the video would be huge and youtube would not accept it, but he will show everything again.

When transfer is at 98% he returns, and shows again there's no disc in the Ps3. He puts a disc just to show how it's done (Virtua Fighter) and then, he removes it.
He shows there's no other PS3 around.

By the very end of the movie, Devil May Cry screen apeers, then, on the second video, Devil May Cry strats loading and he installs it, just normally. He pauses it again and returns when 10% is complete to show again theres no other Ps3 around. He shows the HDMI cable and unplugs it to show there's really one PS3 and the external HardDrive is going crazy installing the game. He also notes there's no DMC to buy on the PS Store.

He talks to the dog! =P

He pauses the video again so the video doesn't becomes huge. He returns when the game installation is complete. He shows the autosave warning, then the creation of the network data. And the game finally running, just like it was supposed. Impressive.

He shows again there's no PS3 around and there's no disc on his Ps3. He removes the HDMI cable again to show the Tv has no signal. He notes that his external HD is on. He puts the cable again. He shows the DMC intro screen. He press start and configures the game to play (automatic, difficult, etc).

He says the video is going to be longer because he really wants to show to some as*holes and non-belivers that a brazilian can do something for his friends.

He starts a mission and start playing, describing what he's doing.

He states the important thing is not the game, but show he method is true.

He says: "It's more then proved that i cracked the PS3 without any firmware ou hardware mods"

He thanks, says that some as*holes wants their names on the video and says bye.

I almost forgot, somewhere in the video, he says the method transforms a full game into a demo, fooling the PS3.

I really think it's true.

Brazil got it! YEAH! =D

ís true!!! i see web can...

This guy is pretty damn impressive!(if HDD loader is true) Could be useful for smaller games but I'd rather shot my balls off than download 50GB of MGS4 or 25GB of some other game.

Ok i translated so you guys can understand everything he says i also comented some stuff that he said here is the full translation hope you get everything and give me some rep points if you want :P

Full Translation of the PKG LOADER

"Hi guys!"

"I have already Downloaded the Devil may Cry ISO"

"I have unpacked it"

"I ll show to you the file structure" (thats when he turns the camera to the pc)

"I dont know if you guys can see but here are the files from the game"

"Theres are some files here called system.cnf (WTF only ps2 games have this file system so this must be only for ps2 games )
part1.pak, mc2s1.prx, there is a big file here with 4gigs, so here is the file structure of our game."

"What i am going to do know is open my little program (wich i created) and its the program to generate the key",

"The first thing i am going to do is generate a key" (that is when he clicks on button in the prog) "now i am using this key to sign the file
and automaticly creates the pkg file"

"So i am showing it to you now its in desktop/devil may cry/ and i ll call it DMC automaticly the file will be created..." "lets wait a bcs its compiling" he says its going to take about 15 seconds (how can that be possible its a 4gig file???)

"once its finished i am going to show it to you"

"Ahh! the key was created I dont know if you guys can see" (he then highlits the key in his program)

"I am going to close my program now and i will open my devil may cry folder, and here it is big file name with lots of random numbers and letters."

(now he uses the proxy program everyone knows to transfere the file to the ps3)

"Now i am going to put my IP in here let me see whats my ip.... now i will start the program"

(Then he grabs the laptop and gets the chair in front of the tv, then says its downloading the file from the pc)," i am showing also there is no tricky stuff here
there is no game inside the ps3 there is no game showing in the XMB, as you can see we are transfering the game to the ps3."

"But now to show you that i am not tricking you i am showing the ps3 there is no game inside as you can see the drive led is not on, as you can see there is no cd in the drive..."
"this is the router that is recieving from my laptop and then sending to my ps3, through this cable here i dont know if you can see, here is my External disk drive and you can see that the led is on,
once again i am showing that there is no disk inside".

"Ok guys I am going to pause the video now, while its transfering because if i don't pause it the video is going to be huge then its going to be hard to send it to youtube."

Some time later...

"Ok guys i am back with my video, we will have to wait a little while for the download to finish its 90% now, i would like to show you that there is no Cd in the drive" (he then grabs the camera and show us)
"now i am putting a cd inside, Virtua fighter, see the led is on, now removing it the led is off, so you guys wont say that i covered the led with tape or anything...."

"Back on the TV the the game is almost done, i am showing now there is no other Ps3 around".

2nd Video

"Ok know iam pressing it now lets see what happens? its taking a while now its saying that i need to install it lets do it! lets wait its going to take a while ."

some time later...

"its in 10% but i remembered something, there were guys sayin that i had another ps3" (he grabs the camera again and takes it to the ps3)

"this is the cable the drive light is off, just a second cause i am tilting the TV so you guys can see the led is still off so there is no cd in the drive"

"now i am removing the HDMI cable to show you this is the ps3 that the game is being installed as you can see there is no image, now i am reconecting the hdmi cable there is Image again, i dont have any cd in the drive and there is no Devil may cry to buy for the psn"

(Now he shows the dog its called fred LOL)

"I am pausing the video again cause its takin a lot of time and i will be back when its 99%"

some time later...

"I was a little bit late... but as you can see the game is installed, i am pressing ok, now creating a new save, and the game is running as you can see the game is working... i will show it again there is no other ps3 around as you can see there is no disk i am removing the cable again
as you can see there is no image i m putting it back now there is image again... there is no game as you can see, let me grab the game pad" (now he shows some game play)

"this video will be longer just to show i am not faking anithing and to show you idiots that a brazilian guy can hack..."

(then he show us the gameplay)

(now he is going to show us again removes the cable there is no image there is no disk in the drive also)

"Now i am quitting game i think i have proven myself I really did it, i unlocked the ps3 without damaging it or without modifying the firmware...." "I tricked the machine and the game into thinking that i am installing a demo so i hope there will be no one saying that i am faking"

"Thank you evryone and thanks for watching"

What he wants us to see:

First, he shows us the DMC files on his computer. Then he transfered the files and the key to the ps3 from a hard drive. From there, he installed, and played.

Questions:

Why did he only show us the top of his table? There was clearly electronic equipment under his tv. I don't know if it was a PS3, but I see a blue light.

Why are his subwoofer and speakers there? This question has nothing to do with his tutorial, but that's just bad speaker placement if he keeps it there.

Tenho outras perguntas mas esqueceo todas delas no momento

brazillian portuguese plz. i don't speak like that ahaha

also, I understand why, if it were true, he showed himself instead of just putting it out there. Brasilians get the short end of everything in latin america; in the united states alone too many people think brasilians speak spanish, let alone have their own culture. He wanted to put his middle finger up and say eso e como faz a gente, o pessoal, o brasileiro

... games are 70-75 euro here in Holland (that's over a hundred US dollars a game), so when the PS3 is finally hacked, it means Sony will have to bring the prices down to a more normal level in order to stop everyone from just switching to downloading games, instead of buying games.

And in case there are people who are still under the false illusion that piracy HURTS the industry, you need to take your head out of the sand. Once a console is able to be modded, hardware sales go up, and people will still buy at least a bunch of games legally, whereas otherwise many of them wouldnt even have had the console to begin
with...

dude_uk thanks for the translation.

Once you hack a TV console you can never go online with it or you'll be caught. How do you think the hackers of the PlayStation Network accounts got caught? You're being watched and if you're doing something they don't allow you to do then you'll be cut.

Authentication is what they call it, it makes sure that you're you, and you're doing what you should be doing. When it comes down to it, it's pointless trust me. You copy Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare then get banned forever when you go online.

The HD Loader might be different but either way you're being watched they have your information. This is the age where they want digital distribution to be an option. In order to keep order you need a virtual police officer program.

i.e. Authentication Programs / Servers.

Last generation you didn't need to make accounts since people demanded it, it's here. So what comes with accounts, authentication programs / servers so no hackers can be online. lol, people they just never learn. So it would be easier to hack a TV console and go online but not this time around.

XBOX Live is a little different but should be the same. They don't have passwords like the PlayStation Network so the security is much tighter than XBOX Live. That's why you're allowed to sign in without saving your account to a memory card with the PlayStation Network. So when you share a game they know when you do it and how many times you're allowed to do it.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
