wrong eboot message Means the game was Extracted from a ISO Made with swiss army knife OR that you need the fix permissions pkg to set all you folders so that the Back up managers can see the eboots inside the folder. That error does not mean it dont work, I Dont know if that game does though:-)

Wow, this is the most complete article I’ve come across on the developments of the PS3 Jailbreak. I appreciate the info, considering all the other sites I’ve visited give you a tutorial on how to initiate the jailbreak, and not an explanation of why it works.

Thank you.

Yeah, I jailbroke my PS3 a couple weeks back with my Android phone. I didn’t bother with the backup manager as I just wanted to see if run the exploit. I’m not so interested in pirating games ^^; I’m hoping more for some good video playback homebrew. Something that will allow me to play anime (and fancy subs) on my PS3 without messing with transcoding. I just hope something like that isn’t near impossible on cell ;)

Well on the basic level, it’s sticking a USB thumb drive into a USB port.

You know, after buying so many PS3 games and thinking that the PS3 will never get broken, I’ve reached a point where I can’t be assed to research and go through the whole psp 1.5 blood vomit breaking + fear of bricking. I’m probably gonna sit this one out and just go legit all the way.

Unless it’s as easy as jailbreaking an iphone.

Woah. You know one effective anti-piracy measure nowadays is just the fact that it’s a hella lot easier to buy a game and play it straight. As gaming demographics get older and have more disposable income, most people will think 80$ is worth less than the time and effort required for this.

That is strange. I tested 8 games so far and have not had any problems loading any off the internal HDD.

Are those games listed on the compatibility list?

If they are supposed to be compatible, perhaps there’s something wrong with your setup or PS3 Key. I have no idea though because I’ve never read about such a problem in the community forum threads.

Compatibility issues are usually caused by the game requiring installation to the HDD and simultaneously attempting to read from both the HDD and Blu-ray drive, I believe. But even MGS4, which requires HDD installation, worked for me.

Very complete article. I have been testing this exploit with PS3Key for a couple of days now but I am a bit disappointed with the number of games I actually managed to use. Only one “Top Spin” out of ten. I am copying the games to the internal hdd but common problem is wrong eboot message. Google a lot but no luck up to now. Any help were to further look?
