PS3 fail0verflow

[Mr. Gundam]

I'd also love the PS3 to be able to hand 50 Hz. Blu-rays... my stupid region-free copy of Exit Through the Gift Shop hangs because of this little feature that most standalone BR players can handle.

[Smooth Groove]

The PS3 is horrible with any non-NA standard discs.  A bunch of my cousin's homemade videos won't play on it because it incorrectly reads the DVD-R discs as PAL.  Otoh, they had no problems playing on the 360. 

[M3wThr33]

Can you really play PSP games direct on the PS3? That's awesome. I would love that too 

Minis are just a special class of PSP game. It would be a trivial change to treat regular PSP games the same.

[maxy]

Really?That would be nice,have a PSP though

But then again i could use 360 controller to play PSP games
 

From that dude twitter

PSP/PS3 Game decrypter RELEASED !!!! (Includes sources)

Kirk keys are also out

[SantaC]

That Mathias guys says it should be pretty easy to port the PS3 built-in PSP emulator to PC now

Great, I'd love to play the three good PSP games on my PC.

ditto, I have always wondered why there is no good PSP emulator.

what games are worth playing? Crisis core, dracula x and?

[Mr. Gundam]

Peace Walker and Birth by Sleep are good.

No he didn't.

[Smooth Groove]

The story of the PSP has always been about great hardware and mediocre software.  Ghost of Sparta looks amazing for a handheld game but it's one of the few PSP games that reaches such a level.   Even then, it's a redundant title, like most PSP games if you already own a PS2 or PS3.  Sony just doesn't know what to do with portable gaming aside from making inferior ports of console titles.  

Most of the people that love the PSP, seem to be gamers who are jaded with this gen, like Prole or Himu.  Personally, I don't get it.  If you wanna play the PS2, play the PS2.  The PSP is a lousy substitute.  

Mine hasn't even been turned on for six months since my G2 phone does a better job of toilet browsing EB.  It's right up there with the Wii as the game systems I've used for the least amount of time ever.

It sucks after the first 25 hrs when you realize it's just gonna be the same shit the rest of the way and new personas don't show up quickly enough which make the awesome combo personas almost impossible to make.  Also, the story is nowhere good enough to make you want to keep playing unless you have a fetish for simulated dating. 

[magus]

real talk,persona 3 isn't the best PS2 RPG evah

sorry atlus fanboys

That's some real talk right there. I'm at around 80 hrs near the end. You gotta give 'em props for being able to drag it out so long tho, considering you do the same cycle of shit for about 90% of the game.

[archie4208]

I loved P3 but I digested it about 2-3 hours per week.  Certainly not without its flaws, but it still managed to be better than everything Bioware and Bethesda have put out this millennium.

Baldur's Gate 2 came out this millennium. 

[Great Rumbler]

Mass Effect 2 is better.

[pilonv1]

New Vegas is awesome too, as is Alpha Protocol

Anyway it's funny now to see the sfags using TOS Violations as their new defense against people using these hacks

[Smooth Groove]

Yeah, I think the WRPG is just not Oscar's cup of tea.  Being as objective as possible, P3 isn't that great and the games from the two Bs aren't that bad.  

[Great Rumbler]

Mass Effect 2

[iconoclast]

real talk,persona 3 isn't the best PS2 RPG evah

sorry atlus fanboys

that's true.

Persona 4 is

[Don Flamenco]

Nocturne is still better than the Persona games...not gonna jump to conclusions and call it the best RPG ever, but it's up there, that's for sure.  Anyway, Persona 3 Portable is the better choice as it makes the game bearable to play.  Persona 4 needs the same treatment!  After about 10 hours of PS2 Persona 3, I kinda just wish I had menus to choose where to go and a cursor instead of a slow running character model and a fast-forward button for when the characters are figuring out shit I already knew (the latter part is more for Persona 4, whose characters reason at the pace of a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.)


I want to use the term "fail overflow" in real life. 

[cool breeze]

I almost want to agree with Oscar except I don't think so poorly of Bethesda since only Oblivion was a big disappointment for me.  Morrowind is one of my favorite games and Fallout 3 redeemed Bethesda for me (again, it was only Oblivion between the two, but I can't really stress how much of a disappointment it was).

The thing about Bioware is that they made Mass Effect 2, a game that isn't a rpg, and I think it is amazing.  They've been making their rpgs worse by simplifying and marring it with more action; KOTOR, then Jade Empire, and then Mass Effect.  Mass Effect 2 reached the point where balance tipped in favor of making a shooter and it worked out really well, I thought.  Ideally they would have made a great rpg that was also a great action game but I thought they failed with Mass Effect 1 and in the end I'd rather have a great game than a poor rpg.

And I liked KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age (a lot in the case of DA).  Dragon Age is different in that it is them going back to making a game in the style of their classic rpgs, but more or less describes its worth.  I think it is so well regarded because it is them making that type of rpg in this day and age rather than being one of the best rpgs ever.  Also, people are praising it more highly now that the sequel's quality is questionable and I guess that makes Dragon Age Origins seem better by comparison? I dunno.  They did it with Mass Effect and I'm still baffled when people call it an "incredible rpg" because I'm pretty sure that isn't the same game I played.  The one where inventory was literally the same three items with a different number at the end for the entire game, or side quests that took place in identical locations.

is the voucher still included in new systems, or is that promo over now?

I just got the voucher in the mail and tbh I have no idea how.  The PSP Go wasn't in that packaging that advertises the deal.  It was still new, but it seemed like it was one of those first shipments of the thing that never sold.  I guess despite not allowing me to access PSN because I'm not using the most recent firmware didn't matter and it still registered my unit or something.  I just got the email with a code, entered it on my PS3, and am downloading LBP, SOCOM 3, and the first Ratchet game on PSP.

I loved Mass Effect when it came out, despite the issues with it [which were painful at times]. Mass Effect 2 blows it out of the water, of course.

Dragon Age 1 is a pretty good RPG, but not the best ever and not the best of the past few years either. It's solid with good mechanics and decent writing, but a bit repetitive and not nearly as content packed as some of the old Bioware/Black Isle RPGs.

[demi]

what is this loser ass forever alone talk in my hack thread.

[Don Flamenco]

well it's not like we can talk about all the great ps3 games we can play now

what nippon ichi games are on 360?   jeeah, dats what i thought

[Smooth Groove]

When PS3 fail0verflow finally results in free games for all, I bet Gamestop can make a bunch of money by running promotions for people to trade in used PS3 games for other systems.  The outrage at GAF would be hilarious.  

[maxy]

[Smooth Groove]

+1 for the PSP emulation.

WTF

I just noticed that Borys edited out the part about him not pirating PS3 games.  Guess he finally figured out how to fill the HDTV fund gap.  

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

How ironic that hackers finally fulfill Sony's promise of replacing the PC.  

[Smooth Groove]

Shame on you.  Playing portable games on the PC is and more importantly, reflects badly on PC gaming. 

[maxy]

2 years,lets see
24x10Euro =240 Euro,plenty for a brand new PSP

Bought mine year ago for that money,we have 23% tax

[maxy]

cheapskate

hopefully 3DS and PSP2 are never emulated on PC

[pilonv1]

I should send Borys my PSP-1000 that I never use

[Smooth Groove]

I probably have a spare PSP 1000 too.  I lent it to a friend but I don't think he's used it for a long time even though he got it hacked. 

The shipping costs to Poland are probably too killer though.  Also, the PSP is not the sturdiest equipment and there's a good chance it won't make it through clean.

How much is an used PSP in Poland anyways?  Borys should just wait for them to go dirt cheap once the PSP2 is announced or the 3DS is released. 

[magus]

real talk,persona 3 isn't the best PS2 RPG evah

sorry atlus fanboys

that's true.

Persona 4 is

no

Nocturne is still better than the Persona games..

yes,nocturne is like the only decent atlus game on the ps2

[demi]

For 2 years I was asking for a PSP as my Secret Santa gift here. Instead I got PC j-shmups and flip flops, though I must admit I use the latter daily!

You needy bastard

[magus]

Digital Devil Saga and Devil Summoner 2 are both pretty good. 

i tried playing digital devil saga several times but i simply found it dull,the character seemed so one dimensional,the dungeon were bland,the demon were all ripped from nocturne and the whole battle system consisted of shopping for the spell the next enemy was weak too in that awfull skill tree where you always end up wasting SP because you aren't rich enough to buy the next skillset

devil summoner 2 too had so much stuff ripped from the original devil summoner (which by the way was more than happy to send you on boring fetch quest) that i simply stopped out of "not caring much"

I mean, probably not as awesome as all that Final Fantasy shit you marinate yourself in, but still pretty good.

bet now comes himu with the FF13 hate brigade

[close]

[originalz]

The Digital Devil Saga games are absolutely brilliant, although you do need to play through both of them to fully appreciate the storyline and characters.  The battle and skill system thing is balanced for the most part (you're playing poorly if you waste time grinding for the next skill level), you'll never be underpowered at any point in the game and can get out of any situation with proper strategy.

i missed out on DDS2 and now its all pricey

[pilonv1]

I get my 40gb fat PS3 back off my brother this weekend. I might mess around with it, I'm keen to see what the backup loader does for load times.

[pilonv1]

Backups no longer need backup manager! They can be turned into pkg files and ran directly from hdd !

1) Download and compile latest tools from git.fail0verflow.com Git (old versions of unself produce incorrect ELF)
2) Extract ELF from SELF
3) Hexedit ELF, find and replace dev_bdvd to correct path on dev_hdd0 (not all, but most games require this step)
4) Build NPDRM SELF using Geohot's tools
5) Build package using psn_package_npdrm
6) Patch your builded package using Geohot's tool (only for 3.55 firmware)

Not even a week old and this is already happening

[maxy]

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]
With the recent release of Geohot's 3.55 custom firmware, it was only a matter of time, before backups would be up and running. News is coming in that a user named Riku.kh3 has accomplished just that. He has managed to run Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from his internal hard drive, while on Geohot's 3.55 Custom Firmware. He achieved this by patching the game's main executable file (EBOOT.BIN) and making the PS3 think it's a PSN game.
