PS3 game backups not too far offDavedough @ Dec 02, 2006 19:43 | 35 comments
Team Xecuter has been one of the biggest threats to Microsoft and Sony alike with modifications that enabled hard drive loading of your game backups. In a recent post on their website, they've revealed that they have connected a 750Gb hard drive to the PS3 and have successfully been able to pass data back and forth from it. Their newest development dubbed the Hyperdrive features the ability to connect any 3.5" SATA hard drive to your PS3 and they're currently working on an IDE solution. Additionally, it has USB 2.0 support for dumping data to and from the hard drive.
Upon connecting the drive, they have been able to get the PS3 to recognize it, format the drive to it's standards and store all the settings internally to the PS3 and not the hard drive.
What all this means is that its quite possible that Blu-Ray dumps to an external hard drive may not be too far off. Larger drives would be needed since games such as Resistance: Fall of Man have been seen taking up some 16Gb worth of data. It's an exciting time to see what these folks develop in the future. Could we see legitimate PS3 backups gracing the hard drives of the masses soon? Only time will tell.

Sony's newest console, the PS3 hasn't even been out for a month yet and already a group most people in the "scene" should know of has come incredibly close to unlocking its true potential.

Comment by: WierdName (Dec 02, 2006 22:54) @tatsh- The games are bigger due to the size of the levels themselves and the programming of all the various extras such as the more advanced artificial intellegence and such. Then theres all the media for the rendering(consider how with some games that even the little rock on the ground is rendered a little different from the rest). The videos due take up some space but not most. |

Comment by: SovMish (Dec 03, 2006 00:21) sweet. That's why I'm waiting to get the PS3 in the summer (but the 60 gig in my closet is talking to me, I swear... it's saying open me, play me, connect me lol).
Anyways, excellent news. Just like DevHook for the PSP.
Can't the space problem be solved by plugging in an external HD into one of the USB ports? |

Comment by: SovMish (Dec 03, 2006 00:23) Oh, and the game developers don't need to worry about not selling enough copies of the game.
Because only like 1 out of every 100 people are going to do this... just like the PSP. All my friends have normal fully-updated PSP's, while I still have the 1.5 + Devhook. |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Dec 03, 2006 01:50) a question about archiveing a BR so if a BR ISO is 24ish GB that means you need 2-3 DVD9 or 5-7DVD? |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Dec 03, 2006 11:52) jutsu if someone could make a boot program and then run it off the HD then couldn't they just blacklist it or something unlike the older consoles this has full lunix,I wonder howmuch of the hardware protections can be overridden via software....mmmm |

Comment by: xXxBG (Dec 03, 2006 13:15) I just bought a 320 GB Hard Drive for my PS3 and it works Flawlessly :):):):):) |

Comment by: Andrew691 (Dec 03, 2006 20:16) Most likely they will make a program for linux that is like daemontools, to "mount" an ISO to a virtual drive. Then all the need is boot code, to make a loader.(could be blocked in updates). Definitely not far away.

Comment by: Mackadae (Dec 03, 2006 23:49) I think it was too premature for Team Xecuter to reveal their status on hacking PS3. Considering the problems and feedbacks Sony is already receiving; PS3 is technically under development. I wouldn't be surprise if Sony come up with something to change all that. Then again, like kaosX said "yeah.. cat and mouse.. firmware update, hack, firmware update, hack..." But all in all, I applaud Team Xecuter.

Comment by: xXxBG (Dec 04, 2006 00:39) What bugs are u guys talking about, its working really good. |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Dec 04, 2006 00:46) xXxBG price lack of games thos BUG me pretty good :P
it has a few glitches out of the box about 200ish main PSX titles don't work needs HDMI and High def patchs for all sort of small annoyances,in all the PS3 is better than the 360s launch so far but its still luke warm and alot of bugs yet to be found...its a unlike MS's Beta test of the 360 this is a RC1 not quite a full launch but not worse than others. |

Comment by: ianlov (Dec 04, 2006 09:58) Well this is where the fun begins just look at the cheats etc on teh XBOX live! cause of tampered data on teh HDD all this is gonna do is ruin it for all of us hardcore gamers :( |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Dec 04, 2006 16:44) ianlov god games suck so bad you have to cheat to get any real fun out of it I hate the Xbox because it dose not have a cheat device(CB or AR) when I cheat its to try and balance a crappy game or make the game more fun,online cheating is pointless.
They can do stuff about cheaters online from temp bans to stat resetting to all out bans.
I hope the 360 gets one a (CB or AR)........ |
