| Dreamcast and SNES Emulators Now Available for Jailbroken PlayStation 3 Consoles - Softpedia Posted: 24 Sep 2010 01:03 PM PDT PlayStation 3 owners that have opted to jailbreak their devices through the PSGroove or PSFreedom exploits, that were released at the beginning of August, now have something else they can do with their console, which is playing classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Dreamcast games. Thanks to the work of a few developers from the homebrew scene, jailbroken PlayStation 3 consoles can now support the Snes9x emulator, as well as the NullDC Dreamcast emulator. Both of these programs will allow PS3 owners to play old titles that were originally revealed for the two platforms, including ones from Nintendo's precious Mario or Zelda franchises, as well as ones from Sega's Sonic series, as well as the many great games that were released on the two platforms. Before you pop open the champagne though, the two emulators are still in early versions, meaning features already available for the PC editions are missing, including a user interface for the Snes9x or lots of other things for the NullDC software. Still, if you are among those that opted to jailbreak their PlayStation 3 consoles through the multiple means that were released up until now, then running such emulators might be just the thing until proper homebrew applications will be released for the Sony console. For those not in the know, after years of being apparently un-hackable, the PlayStation 3 was finally cracked through the use of a modified USB stick that forced the console into a sort of recovery mode. Immediately, a special application was developed, which allowed PS3 owners to backup their original games onto the internal hard drive of the console or onto a portable device. While that application was great for those that wanted to have backups of their games, it was also used for certain nefarious actions, so Sony immediately blocked the exploit through the 3.42 firmware update and through the new 3.50 update. Still, if you're among those that kept the 3.41 firmware, and have jailbroken devices, you can at least play some classic titles for the SNES or Dreamcast.

| Tell us how you really feel: Is jailbreaking okay? - GamePro.com Posted: 24 Sep 2010 05:21 PM PDT
Sony set off a bit of a ruckus amongst PlayStation 3 owners when it took a drastic measure to combat operating system modification. That development led us to ask our Twitter followers about the legitimacy of system jailbreaking. With the latest PS3 firmware update fresh in everyone's mind, we polled the GamePro Twitterverse about jailbreaking, offering an extra entry in this weekend's contest for all responders: Perhaps because we cater to consumers, the majority of responses either praised or provided reasons for console jailbreaking. Here's the folks who see the upside of system modifications: @GamePro Piracy is an unfortunate side effect of our tendency to want to tinker. Yet homebrew can lead to wonderfully imaginative programs. @GamePro Jailbreaking is a little bit of both, but it gives programmers a lot more access to do what they want to do. That is the best part. A few of our followers think that the line between jailbreaking and piracy is hardly blurred at all. Here are the folks who aren't as high on system mods: @GamePro System Jailbreaking is a Path to Piracy!!! Without players properly paying for games the companies & players will both lose out!!! Even though Sony took a huge step with this week's firmware update, the constant battle between console manufacturers and jailbreakers is far from over. This argument wages on too, and you can still get an extra entry in this weekend's contest if you haven't yet replied to the question on Twitter. If you want to expand upon your ideas without disqualifying yourself from this week's contest, please reply in the comment section below.
