once you pull the dongle usb chip out.. your backup won't load, but you still have the backup in your hhd..
now i don't know if sony can come up with something to detect you have backup game inside the hdd or not...even though it won't load without the usb chip..
if you wanna be save use external drive, but it's not as good..in my opinion..
I don't know if i would give a thumb up for this psjailbreak.. cos I have a feeling sony will find a way to stop it quick.. and then you can't go online with it anymore..(firmware update or just starting to ban console left and right)
the psjailbreak suppose to be able to be update, but the question is how long will take them before they can find a work around once sony patch this thing.. that's what I am afraid of.. but hey, at least I didn't have to pay 180$ for it.. I got it for free...

The only downside is FAT32, if any game as a file with 4GB+, like MGS4, the backup will not work, plus, if you don't have any friends to give you games for you to backup then you must buy second hand games, do the backup and then sell them.
I think this is not a fake because it has been tested by a lot of people, i even saw on youtube one french guy testing it.
It could always be a fake, but if you think about it sony has nothing to lose with this, and maybe sony is involved, these guys come with a simple pendrive thats used by sony and saying that this works better with the latest FW, when the latest FW hasn't even came out 1 month ago. This is strange, and just like sony didn't sue geohot like they said they would, i don't think they will answer this hack with any drastic FW update.
hey the 4 gb limit works like this... MGS4 is a game folder..inside the folder there's alot of files for the game... as long as none of those file is over 4gb.. it will work...
another word game can be over 4gb as most ps3 games are.. it will work as long as each file inside the game is not over 4gb..
i got uncharted,god of war, and few others to load.
all together I have 2 backups cos I only have a 60gb fat ps3..
the ps3 games are big, so make sure you have a big harddrive to hold your backup
