(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I propose instead of trying to wiggle our way's around sony I have a better idea. Check this site out: You must login or register to view this content.. Now I know it's for the XBox 360 but why hasn't anyone thought of doing this for the PS3? Regardless now would be a good time to make something of the such. You can only imagine the people that would start using it. We would need a server and some pretty good coder's to come up with it but it's more than possible. It would allow all of us with CFW to be wherever we want with OUR systems as far as firmware in general is concerned and cut the trouble's of banning and worrying about Sony all together. Not to mention we can implement our own features and all that. Idea's are welcomed. What do you guys think? (Don't even think about flaming. If so don't even post and waste forum space Winky Winky )

UPDATE: We have decided to call the project PSKinect. PSConnect was taken :( Also Other name's were taken but this one stuck with us. Smile

UPDATE 2:The PSKinect staff has been assembled and the project will begin this Saturday. Finally we will start the process of putting the necessary measures into place and start construction of what soon could be one of the biggest breakthrough's in PS3 hacking history if all goes well. Right next to CFW and all the other great breakthrough's in the underground community.

The staff is as follows:

Coding:
Skatin707
Demize
frub3nz
McAffee

Website:
Gnarlet
maxrox
samos951
xModz_elite

If we feel the need to add more help we will schedule another conference at a later date. As of now we feel comfortable with the current team and are looking forward to making this a reality.
PSKinect will bring all the CFW user's together on a network that is not run by Sony or any of their affiliates. It will be a network that allows gameplay to those who wish not to continue with Sony's original firmware updates. Those with banned console's will get their chance to return to a gaming server and continue to use their PS3's online for the first time since the bans were put into place. We will not allow cheats to be used on our server's. We are hoping to implement a measure which will weed out the cheater's to avoid abuse of our network not to mention keeping the games fair and square for everyone to enjoy. PSKinect will in no way remove PSN from any PS3 nor will it replace it. This will be an option for those who want to play on a network other than Sony's. Hopefully after it's launch we will add some cool features which I cannot discuss here at the current time. Stay tuned guys and thanks for the support! Smile

This makes so CFW versions would not matter. Much better than a new CFW in my opinion.

Thats right. We will be taking this project underway starting this week. I am contacting some friends on this matter today. I don't really think we can run into anything illegal here as far as our own network. As long as we aren't violating the PSN agreement (Which we are not because we would not be touching anything related to the PSN or even using their server's nor code) there is no worry for concern. I also agree we will not have 50000+ user's for a whiiiiiile. Me and Skatin707 are working on this. If you have a server or have time and patience to get on the band wagon don't hesitate to PM us and join us. I also agree that I don't care for comment's doubting the workability or even "do-a-bility" of this project. Anything is possible. We should know that by now Winky Winky

Also those interested can contact me on my Skype account. Check my profile for the proper information.

I do not think it will be THAT hard to pull this off with the proper people in place. I am sure most would agree that have the knowledge to do so. Dancing


The thing is we are using sonys code, in the ps3. This would have to be a heavily modified firmware.

Servers,HTML and C++ are my thing, and I honestly think that this is doable.
Hell yea, count me in if you need some help on the server/HTML side of it.


How good at you at C++ programming? Do you know the way around the PS3 fairly well and understand how to create PKG files?

Who said it would be a custom firmware put in place to get this to work? Winky Winky We wont need a fully re-written firmware for any of this to work in the first place. At least not to my understanding. We would not be trying to REPLACE the PSN icon or any of that in order to get this to work. We are talking a much different route. Smile

But as of right now I would recommend that noone budge from 3.55 at all until this got underway. Which could be a little while for the finished product. Who would want that rootkit embedded 3.56 on their machine as is? :p

Trust me this will require its own firmware to run properly, you cant just redirect the traffic you your server it doesnt work like that.

Well seeing as you are "sure" it would what are the point's your going to make to be absolutely positive this would require an extreme overhaul of firmware? I would like to hear them. That's what this thread is here for. Do you understand how the firmware works? Can you create your own custom firmware? How much insight do you have into modifying any firmware? Right now the idea's are being layed on the table to start constructing what exactly the processes laid out will reach our goal. If you understand what we are attempting to do and know of something we don't then you should take a seat in the group and help as much as you can. That's the reason we are here is to help one another for the future of homebrew and CFW not to mention moving sony out of the picture all together when it comes to our own private network. :y:

Yes i understand how it works, check my join date i didnt just jump into this scene i been here since socom 2 haha. No i have not made any effort to write my own fw simply for the fact i just dont have the time that i used to. If you understand how the ps3 works and how it connects to psn you would see why you need a huge overhaul on the fw to be able to run this effectively.

I never said you weren't educated in the matter. That's why I ask question's is to find where you are coming from. We could use your help "if" you had the time and effort to put such thing's in place. Working with a group of indivdual's obviously to make it much easier on all parties because we all have lives outside of this forum as well Smile Explain why it is this needs to be done. I'm sure everyone would like to understand what your talking about and where your headed with this. You are capable of creating a CFW then I take it correct?

First, there are the legal issues associated with running sonys code on our own server. They would have none of that. You theoretically could just redirect it but i have a feeling you would be getting your ass sued. This all comes down to whether or not sony wins this court case. If they win we do NOT have the right to modify our systems in any way and it will set precedent for the future.

Secondly the firmware is what hold all the data that your system needs to function properly, obviously. So if you are trying to redirect all this traffic to one place, everyone will have to be using the same or similar firmware in order to connect in the first place.
