Rumor: Possible PS3 Tiff Exploit found on v1.9 firmware

A group of 'hacker's are claiming that they have found a possible PS3 tiff exploit on the v1.9 firmware. They are claiming that it may be possible to play backed up Blu-ray games and their 'method' makes it so that when you run a game it won't fully launch allowing time for a disc swap, then you remove the required USB stick and the new game boots without any sign of an error. Although, with no 'history' this seems like a couple of characters...

stupid rumor from xbox fan

stupid comment from a sony fan

Lord Anubis6847d ago (Edited 6847d ago )

This is silly. :

"I have discovered some odd behavior which may potentially lead to playing backed up blu-ray games"

looking at the video, the only thing it does is prolong the loading of files. When they tried to load the resistance fall of man (disc) it stayed in stasis.

Dudes this actually works, but for now you can only boot PSX games!

Mu5afir6847d ago

I am pretty sure most no one cares if PSX games will boot up. I know of a hardware mod that will let Ps2 games boot up. I am very sure, you won't be able to boot up a Blu-Ray game anytime soon.

Mu5afir6847d ago

No firmware update will ever let you boot up a Blu-Ray disk that is copied. For the SIMPLE reason that there are hardware locks on the disk. This is the SAME REASON, why Ps2 games couldn't be booted with a software emulator. Yes, the disk-swap is something that can be done, and this is what they are attempting to do.

But I am pretty sure this boot method is not going to work, or have problems of it's own.

There is no way i go backup gaming. Even if this is true it doesn't take the risk of break the console, and also, the cost of blu-ray recorder and blu-ray discs. I prefer original stuff.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy19d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12519d ago (Edited 19d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
