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 wont explain the details here till the project is finished 100%, also cuz 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:

- game dump of the game you want to play from HDD (possible you need a special one)

- 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 cant check more atm, as I dont 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, thats 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.

all in all its a hack for rich ppl as you need to have 2 big HDD's to store all games on it, which you want to play. 2 games would require actually about 50-100GB on both HDD's. if you have much space on pc hdd thats no prob as you can just backup and rewrite the data on HDD's.

i dont support piracy, this is just to safe your disks

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

that means:

- proof that disk games can run from hdd without having the disk in drive

download the video here:

http://www.nera-studios.eu/ps3.MOV

better quality vid will come when i get new hdd + repaired hdtv. the clicking which sounds like keyboard typing in the background is just the cam auto focus.

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 dont say ill answer all.

Does the hack only work with 60gb HDs?  And why are 2 HDs needed for one of the methods?

I'd rather save my time and buy the 6 or so PS3 games worth playing.

Yeah, this isn't even close to being as big as the PS2/XBOX/PSP/DS hacks.  Even if I do the hack, there are only 1-3 games that I'd pirate.

it says the games might need special dumps, and then talks about some of them needing 50-100 gbs. if that means downloads that big, i don't think many people are going to bother. lol at the ps3 failing even at piracy

Don't forget about rentals.  Pirates would go through anything to get their games for free.

i think by "special dumps" they mean the games can't just be ripped on your pc.

This isn't relating to PS3 hacking, but I am going to do the twilight hack/homebrew channel on the Wii, and before I do I just have one question.  Does it erase anything currently on your Wii, like save games or already downloaded stuff?
Title: Re: Almost time to buy a PS3
Post by: demi on August 16, 2008, 04:22:04 PM
Negative... backup your Zelda save first if you care
Title: Re: Almost time to buy a PS3
Post by: cool breeze on August 16, 2008, 04:31:03 PM
Thanks.

Also, what are the apps worth getting? and can I update my Wii after I install the homebrew channel?
Title: Re: Almost time to buy a PS3
Post by: demi on August 16, 2008, 04:36:02 PM
Yeah, there has been nothing wrong with updating (with or without homebrew channel)

I dunno what apps to get... I dont really follow wii homebrew. I just DL the WiiWare games (well, if there ever are any worth getting)
Title: Re: Almost time to buy a PS3
Post by: cool breeze on August 16, 2008, 04:41:17 PM
You can do that?
Title: Re: Almost time to buy a PS3
Post by: demi on August 16, 2008, 05:19:03 PM
Yeah

Post by: cool breeze on August 16, 2008, 05:29:01 PM
Probably not worth it.  I bought Lost Winds already, so I'm good on that front.

I am surprised about how easy this is.  It is actually easier than the already easy PSP way.

NES emulator for the PS3.  No mods needed, but it doesn't have sound and isn't full speed, and the controls suck.

MM2 is really hard when you can only do one action at once.

I think it's safe to say Ken Kutaragi, Sony, Bluray, Cell, and PS3 prove
