PS2 Backups now running on PAL PS3's

The hacker ifcaro first released away to boot PS2 backups on only NTSC/Jap PS3's and now he released his method for PAL PS3's too.

TheMART5559d ago

To the ones reporting this as piracy.... A Backup officially ain't piracy. A backup is a safety copy from the original one owns. Its making sure something you buy will be protected from scratches on discs etc etc.

You can say all you want, but this is just news.

gambare5559d ago

then you agree with the Xbox360 "backups"?

Danja5559d ago

well ur gonna be missing out on the best shooter of the year in one month..XD

Bonsai12145559d ago

you realize sony will fix this hole with their next firmware upgrade..

barakiu5559d ago

shop S-mart?

for all those people that'll say support the developers, I say support the starving instead, at least 20,000 a day. the developers, they'll live.

the way I see it, even as it is now with fully featured browser games emerging, video games will go the way of cable televison with a set charge for consistent online servers for multiplayer with unlimited access of games, the only thing thats missing from a pirates life.
(and then they'll have to compete with free services that make their dollar on advertisements.) the tech is now there to make this possible.

you could argue that one should pay for cable tv instead of wiring the cable box for free cable to support the providers for more original television content. Or critize one who uses their neighbors wi-fi connection instead of buying their own...for some reason or another. :)

my point is, there are so many free games to play now, and I don't believe that hype (i'm looking at you generic soulless fps...wow shooting someone in the head is "Mature".."hard core" even..[Puyo Pop is hardcore] .) someone looking to play would only need a console/pc and roms.

pc gaming isn't dead.

pc gaming has changed.

'console' wars (will) have changed.

God never changes. may Jesus bless you in your soul.

jay25559d ago

Other people report this guy please.

HardcoreGamer5559d ago

...there were several "promotes piracy" comments. That may be true, but I'm interested in this purely from a convenience standpoint. Bring on the US version!

solidsnakus5559d ago

the jap version is the usa version. it works.

cayal5559d ago

Of course it promotes privacy.

LeeZer5559d ago

firstly this won't mess up your ps3, secondly i dought sony will completely fix this as they have never managed to stop swap magic disks from working and all this is don't is enabling a piece of eggsisting ps2 software work on the ps3 with virtual memory cards

cayal5559d ago

dude...wtf. Go back to school and learn to put together a proper sentence.

First of all, swap magic was a PS2 method. PS2s didn't have firmware updates. PS3s do.

Second, this promotes piracy.

Bathyj5559d ago

I not the sort that picks people up on bad spelling or grammer normally cos we all do it, but "eggsisting".

Haha. Thats the funniest thing I've seen this year. Trust me Dude, I'm laughing WITH you.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
