Well today getting home from my short trip, it was great to see news like this.  Nothing better them Sony getting slapped in the face again, but finally, this times its the PS3's turn.  This is a method of loading backups from the HDD using Proxy disk, and modified game dump, and 2 HDD's.  This is still at Proof of Concept stage and doesn't work on every game but it is still great to see it finally hacked to backup your games, and glad this ones not fake.  Even Alek spoke about this saying that it is indeed real.  Now me not having a PS3 I can not test/enjoy this newly found hack but I will make sure to keep you updated on any new news.

ps3-sense.nl Wrote:The video shows:

- Warhawk running from HDD

- no PKG version

- no WH disc while WH is running

- Motorstorm running as proxy disc

- legal way

I won't explain the details here till the project is finished 100%, also cause many devs want to take a look at first and not get it patched that fast. I can say that if all will work like I want it to you'll need:

- "special" game dump of the game you want to play from HDD

- one (any) original bd game

- 2x minimum 60GB HDD's (illegal way - it worx but its not allowed in most countrys - its working like a packed game on psp memory stick)

OR

-1 60GB HDD + original disc (legal way - no need to be inserted while playing)

Im using newest firmware PAL 60GB SKU. 3 games tested yet - working.
Games which should be possible from the knowledge i got yet:

- Warhawk
- Motorstorm
- Resistance
- GT5
- COD3
- ...

I can't check more atm, as I don't have else here. The final way will be a bit different than the video shows. Even there are 2 different ways then to do it, that's because there are 2 different groups of games. One can be done with 1 HDD but then you need the original disk of the game.

i don't support piracy, this is just to safe your disks

THIS IS JUST A PROOF OF CONCEPT - NOT A FINISHED PROJECT!!!

if video doesn't work as stream just download it:

better quality vid will come when i get new hdd + repaired hdtv

I hope you see theres no hidden PKG (game list is shown), no hidden disk (i insert motorstorm). At the end of the video i just wanted to show its no test unit -» watch the settings.

Sorry for bad TV quality, my HDTV just exploded and i need to use SDTV for 2 weeks now

if there are any questions, you can ask but i don't say ill answer all.
