Update: Too many cry babies in the scene… Anyway, apparently the TIF exploit was discovered by H3R3T1C. Which is fine, props to you H3R3T1C for finding such an exploit. However, just for clarification purposes, the paragraph below is written by me — it was not said by anyone else, thus stolen. How quickly the tables turn.
These guys could be on to something… Chase_Lambeth and Team PS3 Hacks have discovered some odd behaviour which may potentially lead to playing backed up blu-ray games. Copying a specifically crafted tif image to a USB stick, and attempting to open it seems to cause the PS3 some confusion… While the console remains responsive to controls, you’re able to browse the XMB and launch a game. The game won’t fully launch allowing time for a disc swap. Once swapped, remove the USB stick, and the new game boots — no errors! For a clearer understanding of the said procedure, watch the video…
This potential TIFF exploit has been tested on firmwares 1.31, 1.80, and the latest, 1.90. Further testing is underway, stay tuned for updates.

FINALLY!!!!! FIRST POST!!! LOL just kidding
seriously…FINALLY…a REAL exploit…but…but…but…where is this elusive Tiff file? Is there a download yet?
wtf..
The .TIF file has yet to be released to the public.
why not release it? if you are worried it may be unsafe, just put a notice on there for people to use at their own risk. Its safer to do that than to have people try creating their own versions of what kind of Tiff file they are left assuming it may be. Props to you on finding this by the way, you rock.
Because then Sony has a heads up to start fixing the exploit and will release a patched firmware.
dude i know like 3 sites where i can download it dont be an idiot. torrentleech.com is one
when can we expect it
There is not only 1 .tif image, there are 2.
so do you not have a backup bluray to try it with?
If you make the tiff file public then someone out there with a backup can try this?!!
Well done!!
part of the .tif is released without our modifications.
is it a copyright issue? if you cant modify it and redistribute it maybe you can give us a guide as to where to find the file and how to mod it
where? hmmm maybe it the psp tif just a wild guess though im probly wrong and why not try swapping ps2 games with a copy of ps2 game as it should be hard im sure someone in the hacks team has i dvd burner in thier comp. as it is common and all u need is alcohol… to copy the game that would be a start…
Rapidshare that sucker
does it also work with PS2 & PS1 games?
one can only hope. then that damn region coding bullshit will finally be resolved
Come on release a RAR already. your acting like it will never come out. whats to stop you ? GO!!GO!!GO!!GO!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!! hahahaha RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!
release it!! :-P
FAKE! didnt show what to do once the folder was opened zoom in/out during loading of oblivion so the vid of normal obliv loading could be merged with the one of the usb disk scene. FAKE! none of the other ps3 sites are showing this for good reason. poor attempt by a rarely updated site to get some hits
damn, this just got posted like 5 minutes ago. the guy is even online right now responding to comments. give him a break, he might be legit. just because of that one fat comic book geek in the spandex on youtube with the fake exploit, now its like every time someone releases a possible exploit video, people are all like “oooh fake fake look at this look at that”. the reason its not on other sites yet is because hes part of Team PS3-Hacks…thats THIS SITE. Its all happening right now and its happening here first.
lol another failed attempt to get hits to your site greg. lame loser
Wow, do you have no life where all you can do is make fun of Greg? Get a grip on reality, not everything is how you want it.
losty, I myself have replicated this with the tif files. It does work, but we (PS3 hacks team) are working on it still and we need to clean it up. If you don’t know what’s going on, don’t call BS.
…please? tiff file…? pretty please? with sugar on it?
I have ps3 with 1.51.fw cro (eu) end when I play FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 I have some exp…
im going to go commit suicide now. its your fault for teasing me with this Tiff file :-P
I like all ps3 owners have had my leg/heart strings pulled tooo many times. If this is real then Im sure i am not the only one that feels seeing is believing. saw the other vid on utoob with the exploit.tiff / test.tiff 1.52 k or something for exploit. If this is real release it so people with blu ray burners can try out backups i no (if this is real) that u will be worried they will steal credit (as many sites will do) but understand the majority of the people frequenting these sites are used to that shit and will see that u guys did it (ps3news at least will def give credit). If this is real there is no point in holding back, sure feel free to give a para-dicks type excuse of u dont want it patched but the truth is even if it is (and this is real) that homebrew which could be possibly derived from this exploit (inject some code into the file thats hanging the system (if there isnt already some)) will make it easier to find exploits in future fws as currently those of us trying (and trying hard) to get exploits up and running dont no if they are crashing/exploiting it as theres no code to try and inject.
OPEN SOURCE!
get all the ps3 dev’ers out there to help if this is real, and IF ITS NOT i truly hate you guys.
if ur lying im gonna b pretty damn pissed off…. if not i will get down on my knees and give u a blowjob… if u are lying im gonna cut off ur geeky cock
GOOD JOB
or else motherf*cker
wow, that a very good exploit this team as come up with, well done you guys, but when will u release the rxploit for us? :D
wow relax guys, dont put them too much pressure. They’ve just found a possible exploit and they want to try and get it themselves. If anyone has a backed up bluray game, apply to the team to be an exploit tester and im sure they’d love to collaborate with you in order to get it working.
Download it here http://tinyurl.com/2qwtnm
none of those links are working for me. damn Sony ninjas got rid of it pretty fast
OMG, If this is real. I wonder if it would pass the whole Region Code crap. If it does then my dream has come true :D, I might even be able to finish me “F.E.A.R” game, ever since I updated my PS3 I wasnt able to do the “Resistance” disk swap thing. Keep Up the good work guys and I look forwards to using your exploit :D
1 thing has any1 seen the prices for a blu ray burner yet, it fukin mental
id kill for 1
I’m NOT a PS3 owner, but I have often looked at PS3-hacks.com to see how the scene is going, but, i’ve noticed that some PS3 back-up files are like 7GB and stuff, i’ve seen a few on Torrent sites that size, now it seems that If you could dump the game onto a computer (not sure if that part has been done yet) then you could create an ISO out of the game and burn to a Dual Layer DVD-R…like I say, i do not own a PS3 and i can’t test this in anyway…
why woukd you download them when you can rent them for like 2 bucks from blockbuster. lolz
“this video is no longer available”
but anyway finally real good news !
this one works http://youtube.com/watch?v=VmubHrHMLRQ
ty yann for video
ah…this would not break my ps3 would it ?
no. just make sure you dont put your hand thru it lolz
you know how the ps3 hdd is removable what if you partition it on the ps3 and then put the hdd in a laptop and install a OS on one of the partitoned parts.
and you can also use the install other os screen to use the kboot to use commands to open up other things
I don’t get it, you load the tif. image, then start the game, what means? What for to load the tif. image to start the game? If you said load the tif. image and can play the back-up dics, then how we know that the disc on the video clip is an original disc or back-up disc? pls explain… im noob
The game was never swapped, you still launched the original game that was in the drive when you removed the memory stick.
1- thats a different video
2- they are just demonstrating the glitch. i agree they should have demonstrated the disc swap element of it, but i think they were in a hurry to get another video up
i have tested it with the tif file from ps3-n..s.com and it works fine on FW 1.90
I have tried this exploit. I tried to switch my “Ridge Racer 7″ To “F.E.A.R” but it just hanged after the you see the PS3 Logo thing. I get the same results as this video if I just leave my game in :P. Can’t wait to see the finished version of this exploit!!!
do those games have different firmware requirements?
by the way, why hasnt anyone made a site that lists all the games with what firmware updates they use? that would be so helpful for those of us who want to avoid getting games we cant use if we dont want to update
i try it with FoM burn copy and it takes me back to XMB with error
good try tho
ps3-hacks keep workin hard ya might get it
and i have 2 ps3
i tryed it on the lowest FW and nothing happen but error
good luck
Yeah Same here
good luck at this. I have my fingers crossed
good luck, hope to see the finished product soon.
im back once again
and this time with good news
i try it with my ps3 open swaping it! not ejectin it!
and it work
for those of you that dont know how to open the ps2 i know there is a thread here on this website how to open it so read that
3 disc of blank blueray are 17 dollars man thats alot for those
but yea ima try with other games now
I did exact the same thing as on Youtube.com but than with 2 orgininal ps2 games. It worked ,than i tought im goin to try putting a burned game then i get error , so i dont think this is trick for playing backups because u can even swap dics but the ps3 still reads it’s burned. We must find the peace of Xmb that says “mmm let me see it’s a backup game , error!”. or add a file to your backup game from the originail that says “im a orgnial PS disc”
sorry im telling it like a child but my english is bad so this whas the only opties to make it clear, i hope u can use this info.
i wish codein was that easy lolz
so, what about swap magic technique? is that PS3 still reads it’s as a burned? i dont think so
so you can now boot backups?
No, you cannot boot your backups yet. This is just a proof that we are finally a little bit closer to hack the ps3.
Great job boys! What do you think, can we boot any backups with the final version of this exploit?
Uhm.. sure we can!!! Geez, what kind of a question is that? Let the team work first!
Keep up the good work!
I’m on 1.50 EU firmware,
I put the file to the memory stick as instructed (PICTURE/Test.tif), and the PS3 does show the loading icon when in the photo - memory stick menu. but when I go to the game menu and launch the game (rfom), it immediately starts.
what am I doing wrong?
you have to copy that file and rename it so you have to tif files… then it will work
OK, I have the Test.tif file, I copy one and rename it to Exploit.tif, put them both in the PICTURE folder and still the same thing happens…
press triangle on the usb device you use, go to information press circle and now it should work
uh, video not available…
ps3 hacks suk dik, they didnt even release the tiff file, ps3newz is wer da shot is at, these lot just copy everything that they do
Nice that somebody listened to me. I discovered a .tiff exploit on the second day after release. I popped my memory stick from my psp that included (for psp)a downgrader and devhook that both used a .tiff exploit. It works in the PS3 with original firmware. Nobody cared then, why should I give a shit now? What do you care about loading your psp games on your ps3 anyway?
I’m really sad to discover that this News is actually old, i thought you said you guys discovery it, but PS3hex have that 4 about 10 days. really disappointed with PS3hacks its been my favor always but i guess is time to look for something more royal to the true. PSPhacks still the best yet 4 psp…. so long liers. thats the post on PS3hax with the file to download http://www.ps3hax.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item56
We never took credit for the .tif exploit so all you damn noons get it right.

A file is not stolen when it is released to the public, just b/c we made something out of it does not mean its stolen. dumbass. And we did NOT take credit for this .tif exploit so get it right dumbass!
Chase, Microsoft’s website is a public website for all to visit and view — but if I copied their entire website and just changed the name, wouldn’t that be stealing???
I dont know why you guys (as in the REAL PS3 hackers) are wasting your time arguing with these dumbasses on these sites over dumb shit. Just do what you do best and shut them up with performance!!
Oh yea just a side note to you all I played Madden last nite on ps2 and may I be the first to say that the shit is SSSIIIICCCKK so I know the PS3 version will make you blow your load!
stop flaming them, were one step closer to a hack, its nice to see something from them just one step closer to a hack.
Did everybody just completely disregard the guy who said he got his PS3 back to work!?
