It’s always said that there is never going to be a way to hack the most secure console of PlayStation 3. Here comes a new hack which is able to run games on PS3 without having the need to insert the original disc. This is achieved by a special “USB modchip” drive which allows you to dump your games from original discs to internal or external drive connected to PS3. This amazing USB modchip is called “PS3-Break”
What is PS3-Break?
The PS3Break is a USB plug and play Modchip that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact. It’s compatible with all PS3 models FAT and SLIM and supports all games and all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
The Feature:
l Easy to use, just Plug and Play
l Totally solderless installation, no need to open up your console
l Keeping your PS3 console with valid warranty seal in tact
l Compatible with all PS3 models FAT and SLIM, and all Regions
l Plugs into the front of your PS3 console that will then un-lock your console to be able to play un-signed homebrew applications
l Allow you to make backups of your original games onto your hard drive
The chip is totally firmware upgradeable
How it works
Follow the complete step by step guide posted below to MAKE your PlayStation 3 enable you to create backups of original discs:
Pre-requisites are as follows:
l Any (FAT or SLIM) PlayStation 3 Console running firmware 3.41 or above.
l PS3-Break USB Modchip
l An external USB drive formatted to FAT32 with the “Backup Manager” file on it which you can download from
www.ps3breakstore.com.
l Original disc of any PS3 game which you want to backup.
Step 1: Power off your console and make sure that there isn’t any disc in the Blu-ray drive.
For the SLIM Model: Remove the power chord before plugging in the USB.
For the FAT model: Turn off the power switch found at the backside of the console.
Step 2: Now insert the USB based PS3-Break Modchip to any USB port of your choice on the console. Once the USB is in place, Power ON the console and immediately press the “Eject” button. There should now be two LEDs turned-on on the USB as the console is loading.
If the LED light on the USB turns green, you are good to go as the PS3-Break has been successfully loaded.
If the LED turns red, then it means that the PS3-Break Modchip didn’t load successfully. This usually happens when the Power and Eject button sequence wasn’t performed properly. Start from Step 1 again if you end up having the red light.
Step 3: Once the console has finished booting up with the PS3-Break Modchip, plug-in the external USB storage device which has the "Backup Manager" setup to the console’s USB port.
Step 4: Now navigate to the "Game Menu" and select the option "Install Package Files" and then select "manager.pkg" file. This will basically install the “Backup Manager” application that you download earlier to your hard drive
Step 5: When the "manager.pkg" file is done loading, scroll all the way down in the “Game Menu” and there you should see a new application called "Backup Manager", run it.
Step 6: Now we’re in the Backup Manager app. Insert the game in the console’s optical drive which you want to backup. Press “O” and you will be asked where to make the backup, on the internal HDD or the external storage source connected via USB. This process is further elaborated by the following screenshots.
Step 7: In order to play a game via the backup you just made, insert any original game disc into your console (To emulate the loading process), run "Backup Manager" in the "Game Menu". Press “X” to play the selected backup game.
Step 8: Now you will be taken back to the main menu. In the "Game Menu" you will see the game which you have backed up. Now you can select the game, and run it without having the disc in the console’s drive.
Oh and you must make sure that the PS3-Break USB Modchip is connected to your console at all the times when you are playing the games via backups.
