Run retail PS3 games from hard disk, black-hat magic required

Filed under:

While we’re not to the point of backing up (or downloading) your favorite retail PS3 games to disk, hackers have taken a significant step in that direction. PS3News is reporting success in running PS3 retail game back-ups from both internal and USB drives on a “PS3 Test” development machine. Unfortunately, those games must still be stripped of their encryption, patched, and remastered to execute properly. So check your illicit 25GB PS3 game download fantasies, there’s still plenty of work to be done before this goes mainstream.
