Possible PS3 TIFF EXPLOIT Found (FMW 1.9)!

Some interesting news for fans of PS3 Hacking, heres the info from our pals at psx-scene:

H3R3T1C posted this info:

I have discovered some odd behavior which may potentially lead to playing backed up blu-ray games. Copying this 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!

Heres the how to install

1. Put the .TIF on a USB (download below)
2. Put a game in the PS3.
3. Insert the card with the .TIF exploit and go to "Photo icon" ... let it load.
3. Try to start the game and it should just lock up.
4. Take the USB out and the game should continue loading.

This potential TIFF exploit has been tested on firmware 1.31, 1.80, and the latest, 1.90. Posts your results below and let us know if it worked for you and on which firmware you tested it on.

This looks like it might actually amount to something rather than all the other exploits that have done nothing. Also, Wraggster, please change your original post because it is from ps3hax.net and not psx-scene.com.

you loik datt you loik datt? lol where can this exploit lead to?

LMAO at the commentary ahahah.

But yes does look more promising than previous exploits :)

cool

I remember this guy from a long time ago doing the tiff exploit on psp firmware 2.71....

Lets hope this one leads somewhere.

Yeah, he was a fake all along.. I don't trust this one either..

The guy's voice reminds me of Homestar. Nevertheless, my use of homebrew has never gone beyond emulators for old 2d systems. I'd rather keep my psp for homebrew and my ps3 completely legit with Sony. Even if this exploit were real; it would be about a full year before we started seeing some worthwhile releases on the ps3 homebrew front. There is too much coming out for the ps3 officially this coming year for me to even consider staying at 1.90 that long.

That being said, I still hope that this leads to something. The ps3 would be a homebrew behemoth if it could only be cracked.

I would think that a tiff exploit or something similar is completely possible, however with the accounts of this same source having faked exploits in the past, or led people on, time will tell what is done with this exploit.

PS3 does need something like this to boost console sales.
