Gizmodo / Kotaku are always disgusting.

How do I get into sevice mode? And can someone give me a more detail tutorial that has steps that have more than 4 words in them?
How to get access to service mode
1. Make sure the PS3 is turned off,
2. Press and hold the power button on the PS3 it will power on then power off.
3. When it's off press and hold the power button again until you hear two consecutive beeps.
4. It will ask for the controller to be connected via the USB cable,
5. Turn on the controller and you will have access to the menu.
Google got that for me. Of course it still doesn't explain how to run the self as according to the tutorial i found service mode gives these options
* Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
* Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
* Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
* Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
* Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
* System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION®3 System
Where does the whole "put on usb stick, boot" bit come from? Unless he means Jailbreak mode instead of service mode.
Edit: Never mind, don't really trust that tut. I'm sure that just defaults the video settings etc. from what i remember of playing on my Bro's PS3. I'll leave it in spoilers though.
well it was gizmodo, not kotaku, and lifehacker wrote that article not kotaku, but they are all under gawker and i kind of agree with you anyway, the general public believes that anything that gives the potential for piracy = automatic pirateMFDC12 said:RupeeClock said:Have you seen this insulting article about the keys?

They did NOT hack the PS3 to run pirated content, they hacked it to enable Linux.
And I'm pretty sure the group aren't German at all.
kotaku always does this. they label anyone with a flashcart a pirate (then go on to creating an article to back up your games for use with one). they immediately think hacker = pirate.

nope thats how you get into service mode to reset the video settings you let go of the power button before it reboots. but i think geohot meant jailbreak mode because you cant run .self in service mode.
Because we have the keys he signed the .self so it will run under service mode as if it was the program Sony made. If we made a program that wasn't signed it wouldn't run. Thanks for the confirm that I'd found the right thing BpearSifJar said:He didn't mean jailbreak mode because there is nothing even vaguely interesting about being able to load a .self in jailbreak mode, that's been possible for ages has it not? I dunno what he's talking about, but its not jailbreak.
I'm sorry, what was your point? I was saying geohot was not saying to run in jailbreak mode, and that he therefore was saying to run it in service mode. But you seem to be contradicting me to say...the exact same thing. Huh?Jamstruth said:Because we have the keys he signed the .self so it will run under service mode as if it was the program Sony made. If we made a program that wasn't signed it wouldn't run.

No.
I agree. Cheaters back when the first COD4 exploit was out were the WORST.
The game was unplayable.
NO CHEATS.

COD4 exploit? I didn't know of any exploits for the PS3 before geohot's hyper visor thing. Are you sure you don't mean glitch? Two VERY different things.
I honestly don't think any of us have a choice on this. Besides, I would love to be able to cheat on my single player games. Gives me a fun replay of them.TwinRetro said:itoikenza said:Can't wait for a cwcheat/macro mapping like homebrew for ps3 and maybe even a music.prx like "Mp3PlayingDuringGameThing"

...ok that sounds seriously awesome. Someone get behind this idea NOW!cacildo said:Im checking the news daily, but i doubt we´ll see any stable apps for at least one month or two.
Im ok with that. If these things were easy to do, i would be the first to make my own PS3 game.
The game would probably be "John Bon Jovi and the Space Hookers in the intergalactic cocaine wars".
Unfortunally i cant code anything, so this instant classic will never see the light of the day.
