[COLOR=#FFCC00 ! important][COLOR=#FFCC00 ! important]PS3[/color][/color] Debug PKG Test File fun! - Jun 07, 2007 - 2:44 AM - by PS3News Today in iRC EFnet #PS3News our very own CJPC threw together a PS3 Debug PKG Test File displaying "PS3News.com!" (as pictured) in the PS3 Game Data Utility screen (the PS3 sees the PKG File as a 'GAME' File). If it is installed to a non-Debug console it will likely return the following "80029567" error as it is activating prior to downloading. We do NOT recommend attempting to install it to a retail PS3 console- do so at your own risk! It is intended for examination purposes ONLY.

From this simple PS3 Debug PKG file test we are now able to include executables while making PS3 .PKG files, and also it's no longer necessary to burn to Blu-ray Discs while testing code on Debug machines. For those curious, both make_package_npdrm and make_edata_npdrm were used (along with the CJPC's two images- the second splash image isn't shown) in creating the test PKG File. Word is, next up is a peek into the CELLFTP.self (which allows you to dump the PS3 side of the HDD).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is simply a test PKG file built for use with Debug [COLOR=#FFCC00 ! important][COLOR=#FFCC00 ! important]PS3 [COLOR=#FFCC00 ! important]consoles[/color][/color][/color]. When installed, it will display "PS3News.com!" in the Game Data Utility screen. If it is installed to a non-Debug console it will likely return the following "80029567" error as it is activating prior to downloading. We do NOT recommend attempting to install it to a retail PS3 console- do so at your own risk! It is intended for examination purposes ONLY.

BREAKiNG NEWS: PS3 XMB Hole found; Blu-ray Back-Ups Bootable!!! - Jun 07, 2007 - 6:37 PM - by PS3News Update: Here is a brief update for the time being: For starters as mentioned in our Past News we were going to examine the CELLFTP.self (which allows you to dump the PS3 side of the HDD). Unfortunately through experimenting, no open ports were found after a portscan. As a result, it would only return to the XMB without error... so for now we're passing on this avenue.

Next up, we would like to clarify a few things about the Site News topic as follows: The reason the TITLE is "PS3 XMB Hole found; Blu-ray Back-Ups Bootable!!!" is because the originating media in hacked2123's video was a Blu-ray Disc. As the game he chose happened to fit on a standard DVD-R, he opted to burn it to one (in this case) instead of using a Blu-ray Disc Recordable... which is logical as it saves money too. Not all PS3 games will fit onto a DVD-R, so it's important to NOTE that some will require a BD-R using this 'XMB Hole' Method.

Finally, the way this specific PS3 XMB Hole works is that the OtherOS Installer does not verify the SELF it runs, and can run any properly-signed SELF file. Currently hacked2123 is using a SELF (HDD Formatter) from the recent $DK leak- this wipes the HDD and as a result, puts the PS3 into a 'special' Mode... which in turn authenticates the disc. It will BOOT the PS3 Blu-ray Back-Up (in this case on a DVD-R) fine, however, as stated previously it will not RUN the game... possibly because hacked2123 only tried with a DVD-R versus an actual Blu-ray Disc Recordable (which is the proper media for the PS3's blue laser).

The steps involved were as follows:

1) Make a directory or use your Memory Card- for example: D:\PS3\OTHEROS
2) Copy the OtherOS.self (Mkfs.self via $DK renamed) to D:\PS3\OTHEROS\otheros.self
3) Put it in your PS3 and navigate to "Install OtherOS" along with confirming your selection by pressing "OK"
4) The PS3 screen will go black, and it will erase the entire HDD (there will likely be a way around this, we're only using the HDD Formatter SELF at this time)
5) When it's complete (your PS3 may reboot, don't worry) place an ORIGINAL PS3 game disc in
6) Eject the disc, and place in another ORIGINAL PS3 game disc
7) Eject once more, and place your LEGAL BACK-UP PS3 game disc in the drive
8) Give it a few seconds to read the disc, and it will appear in the XMB
9) Finally, press X and that's it... it will BOOT up but not RUN the PS3 game back-up

Be sure to check back for updates, as this process is likely to change/improve heavily over the next few days.

Just over 24 hours after we reported the PS3 $DK leak, resident Dev'er hacked2123 shared with us in iRC EFnet #PS3News the video below... which shows confirmation of the World's first public PS3 XMB Hole (vulnerability) found!! There are MANY details to report, so please bear with us while we address each throughout the night.

For starters, this specific PS3 XMB Hole is currently present in PS3 v1.00-1.11 Firmware. Jumping ahead briefly... it's now believed the reason why the GODS @ Paradox hinted that v1.60+ Firmware was NOT recommended to update to was simply because there is no OtherOS installer present. Also, at this time it's important to NOTE that PS3 Blu-ray Disc back-ups will boot but not run just yet.

We will cover all of the details on how this is accomplished shortly... until then, you can watch the video below and share your feedback in the Hacked2123's PS3 Back-up Video! Forum thread. w00t!!!

SEMBRA UNA C..ATA MA E TUTTO VERO

E' già qualcosa, peccato che quel firmware ce l'hanno solo in jappone.. e chissa quante poche console. (ho capito bene giusto ? 1.00 1.11)

Inoltre i giochi non partono... vengono solo riconosciuti...

bisogna provare su un bd per poterlo sapere...

a quanto sembra c'è un'altro sistema per far partire questo exploit.
inserire il disco originale, togliere l'hd cambiare disco e rimettere l'hd.

l'ho provato con i ps2 e i psx sul firmware 1.50 e sembra dare risultati simili di chi ha l'1.00->1.10. con due dischi originali uno supportato e l'altro no si accorge dell'incompatibilità. con un disco originale e uno copiato (anche dvd9) sembra partire e si comporta come nel caso si tolga il disco durante l'avvio. cioè non da errori ma rimane a schermo nero e il menu in game anche se apribile ha una forma strana. è possibile però uscire mentre togliendo il disco ottenevo un crash su attendere.
infine con un psx originale e uno copiato ritorna con un errore dopo il tentativo di avvio
notare che gli originali erano mgs e ffx pal (compatibili quindi con il fw) e le copie burnout dominator e rogue galaxy ntsc

e sicuramente un progresso... cmq meglio non montarci la testa e non farci troppe illusioni, siamo ancora all'inizio di una lunghissima battaglia...
a me piu che altro interesserebbe sapere chi e questa fonte anonima...

[weltall]

vai su ps3news nello stesso thread dell'exploit sopracitato e lo trovi

grazie x aver soddisfatto la mia curiosita weltall.
a questo punto nn si puo dire altro che "stay tuned"...
