Developer Esc0rtd3w has stated on psxhax that he and a team of developers have been working on an exploit for PS3 4.81. This is PS3’s latest firmware, which remains to be hacked, a year after its release.

Aug 25, 2012. Today we received a tip via email that we were missing some PS3 game fixes. So I have decided to go on a search for them and post them. This fix is brought to us by DUPLEX and is for the PS3 title Max Payne 3. Release Notes: Max.Payne.3.Eboot.Patch.READNFO.PS3-DUPLEX. Download Here.

This could very well be the last ps3 firmware, and having a hack for it would be pretty good for the scene. However, Esc0rtd3w has explicitly that there was no promise of a release at this point, but that Christmas sounded realistic. Specifically:  since it has been asked in many forms quite a bit, here is a slightly updated path.

1) All console models should be supported for some things, such as Flash Dump, IDPS Extraction, using root lv2 syscalls.and a few others. 2) We have ran into a few issues concerning 300x and 4xxx consoles as far as writing to flash with lv0. Rings Of Saturn Dingir Album Download. 2. These models will most likely require another exploit to take full advantage of CFW features like older consoles, and may not have full support upon release.

These models may need the community to build upon our current work.this is not fully worked out yet and may be resolved. No promise on release date, but x-mas is a good goal for now.

There’s been lots of hope for this hack on the PS3 recently. According to Esc0rtd3w, the entry point for this is a webkit exploit that was originally being, but has since been made private.

Google cache still has the first page of the discussion, although the information below has been known for some time (again, that discussion was started publicly in May this year): So, the webkit exploit is very real. Turning it into a full fledged hack for the PS3 however remains to be confirmed: as always with this kind of claim, the credibility of the announce needs to be taken into account.

Esc0rtd3w has released significant modding tools for the PS3 in the past, but not full fledged exploit yet, which he openly on gbatemp. Depending on who’s also involved under the hood, this could be one of the biggest releases of the PS3 scene, or it could be a. Source, Thanks to for the tip.

 They already have a Kexploit for PS4’s 5.00, and below we’re just waiting for it to be patched, or they find another Kexploit to take its place for archiving sake TBH you should’ve kept your PS3 its not like there isn’t any good games on it, and Sony is the only company that doesn’t allow free backwards compatibility with physical, or digital titles currently (Unless they’re cross-buy which is very unlikely for AAA games) Not counting the Switch which isn’t being sold as a sequel to any of their previous consoles unlike the PS4, (+) to the PS3, or the Xbox One (+) to the Xbox 360.  ^^^ I’m in the same boat as you. Very late adopter to a few consoles that I have played with via friends and relatives, but as far as personally owning no. Now that I own a ps3 and some other consoles, I like visiting some of the stores that deal in retro games, and finding something new (at least to me). For example I been getting into the Uncharted franchise, and recently started the first one. And I’ll agree to your point that games are affordable on older consoles.

I got a decent backlog of ps3 games to go through on probably a lil more than $100, and I’m not just talking 10 or so games. The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time Rom Espanol Project 64 Descargar. Quite a bit more than that lol.  If you haven’t already there are two really fun transformers games for the PS3. War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybtertron.

These aren’t like the games that are based on the movies, and most of the voice acting is done by the original voice actors to the G1 series, and its overall very solid gameplay. I also heard devestation also is very good, but i haven’t been able to find it myself to confirm.

Also the Sonic & sega allstar racing games are a blast and in my opinion are better than mario kart.  ^^^Those are all in my backlog actually lol. I just bounce back and forth between the various consoles I own that I don’t quite get around to certain games until the itch to play that particular game gets me. I actually found the whole Resistance series for less than $5 at Gamestop. Don’t quote me on this but if I remember right I found Resistance 1 for like $0.99, 2 for about $2, and the third was around $2 as well and each had the case and any associated manual to them. This was before the majority of the stores stopped stocking ps3 games.

 I’ve been out of the PS3 scene for a while, but was there when it started and heavily involved.whereas I really didn’t have an impact on the scene (did make a few cheat PKGs for PS3ISO), I’m still using what I have. Still currently have 2 jailbroken PS3s (Release day Phat and 1st-gen Slim) that work perfectly on what I considered the best CFW, Rogero 4.55. Being that I’m very into the PC scene nowadays and can mostly get all I need from that, there are a few games in my massive collection that I still go back to now-and-then.

This is still great news for the scene.
