It seems to good to be true but it seems possible to play backup games that are stored in the iso format now on the Playstation 3.
I have no way of testing if it works but the first indicators are positive. Please post your result in the comments.
There are a few prerequisites: Jailbreaked PS3 with backups enabled, External USB HDD
Here is the link
Last week the first rumors arrived that the Playstation 3 has been hacked. Via several media the news came to us. Most convincing was a video posted on youtube. The hack is done via a special boot procedure together with an USB stick. This procedure puts the PS3 in a debug mode and makes it possible to install a backupmanager. This backup manager then enables you to play games that you have backedup without having the actual game in the system.
Some people might think this is great, but there are still a lot of issues. The biggest one is where to get this USB stick. The original company that announced the “PS3 jailbrake” as they call it are not able to ship the sticks. Sony has succesfully stopped the company from shipping via the court. Another issue is that the hack might be undone by a simply firmware upgrade of the ps3. This means either you don’t update from 3.41 and not being able to play the newest games or upgrade and have a useless USB stick.
So many things are still uncertain as I write this. Some other companies say they will bring their own usb stick for half of the price (original is +100 australian dollars). In real life i have not seen the hack and before that be carefull in buying these sticks online since i have seen reports of frauds already….
I will update this post soon with some links to the software(you need to install the backupmanager) and some links to stores that might ship the usb-stick soon. In the mean time please spam you thoughts …
Here is what you’ll need to hack your playstation right now
A PS3 console with firmware 3.41
PS Jailbreak USB Modchip ( buy from ???)
An external USB drive formatted to FAT32 with the “Backup Manager” file on it.
Original disc of any PS3 game which you want to backup
Good Luck
In one of my last posts I told you how to run homebrew on your Nintendo DS. Since that time I found my old Nintendo DS dead and needed a replacement.
I bought the new Nintendo DSi since there wasn’t any DS available anymore in my local store…..
What about homebrew software? Will it run on the new DSi? Yes it does. For about $12 you will be able to run all those great homebrew stuff again on the new DSi.
All you need to do is order the Acekard 2i which I found here and voila, it works
Nice solution for a good price. Maybe there are better alternatives? I have nu clue, but this one worked for me like a charm…
Since I’ve started using a mac I have used this application. All it does is download great photo’s and put them on your desktop. This really works perfect and I have never has so many nice backgrounds. It’s possible to just keep one but it’s much nicer to use the autochange function. This provides you with a new desktop every few minutes or hours (depends on what you want). The apllication is free but if you use it you might want to donate some money to the developer.
You can find the application by following the link below.
Before I forget, it’s mac only……

Ok so, have you downloaded the new PS3 Media server software? Have you got it to work? Or did you get this:
Don’t worry about it , this is how I solved it.
First click the ” general configuration” tab. You can select you native language here if you like.
Probably you are running vm-ware or have multiple network port defined and PS3 Media Server selected the wrong port.
Select the port network port that you use. If you are not sure check your mac’s network settings in your system preferences.
In my case I have selected interface ” lo0″ which is the standard interface on my Imac.
After that enter you macs ip-adres in the ” force IP of the server” field. Don’t mess with the port option , you should be fine….
Once that is done save your work.
Restart the http server or just quit and restart to see if the application detects your ps3 now. If not search on you PS3 for media servers. It can take a little while.
If you get this following screen your done:
If you don’t get the screen above something is still wrong.
Let me know what you log says and maybe I can help you.
I’ve been a fan of medialink since the beginning as you know, but there was always one thing missing…..
Subtitiles, medialink can’t encode data to stream. I’ve asked them if it would be available some time ago, this is the answer I got:
Subtitles are not supported by the console, the only way to add subtitles would be to re-encode the movie with subtitles burned into the video in the actual image. And realtime encoding isn’t currently possible on the Mac
You can use certain software to re-encode the video by hand and burn the subtitles in, far from ideal.
If you installed medialink on your mac just leave it there, it’s fine for most of the stuff you want to play. However now there is a new kid on the block…..and it’s GREAT!
Wow, it can do a lot of things and it’s being updated pretty often and best of all it’s for FREE
Currently it supports the following features:
Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there’s an automatic refresh also. Real-time video transcoding via MEncoder, tsMuxer or Avisynth DVD ISOs images / VIDEO_TS Folder transcoder OGG/FLAC/MPC/APE audio transcoding Thumbnail generation for Videos You can choose with a virtual folder system your audio/subtitle language on the PS3! All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/WMA, JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, and all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG) the ps3 is willing to play Display camera RAWs thumbnails (Canon / Nikon, etc.) ZIP/RAR files as browsable folders for pictures/audio files Support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer Podcasts audio/ Video feeds support
If you own a linux or windows machine (some people still do ) it also supports :
- Lossless 5.1 PCM transcoding with DTS movies
- Remux video and remux/reencode all audio tracks to AC3/PCM in real time with tsMuxer
- FLAC 96kHz/24bits/5.1 support
I’ve installed it on my Mac and it works great, I ran into a few configuration setting that I had to set. I will come back on how to install in a next post.
Whoops almost forgot to place the links to this great software:
To the google code pages please
For al you who are trying to get your mac to stream media to your PS3. Here it is, a new version of Medialink.
Personally I still haven’t found a better media streamer. Try it and see for yourself.
You can download it here
Tonight I decided to find out what kind of media servers that use Upnp (universal plug and play) there are for a Mac that support the Playstation 3. To watch video and play music on your PS3 streaming it to the Mac.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know I currently use Medialink which is fine, but maybe there are good alternatives?
Here is the list
Mediatomb (open source)
Fink (open source, not sure if it supports the PS3)
TwonkeyMedia (commercial, 30 day trial)
Medialink (commercial, 30 minute trial)
Allegro media server (commercial, time limited trial)
That’s it for now , I’ll add more later Don’t be shy to report more media servers for the Mac that support the PS3
