It'd have to be implemented per game the way it works with the app and it's probably more work than they or developers care to put in. Any that do care just incorporate it themselves.

The screen capture should work with every game after you load and exit the app -- no game has to be selected.
Ebay or craigslist are your best bet. Shits getting rarer by the day though.
Someone just anonymously released fixes for FFXIII-2 and Saint Seiya - Sanctuary Battle....
Both work on 3.55/3.41 apparently...
Edit: A couple of people just emailed me confirmation FFXIII works but crashes at a certain point. It needs extra .sprx files that will probably be released soon.
Also the anonymous hacker has said he will release more games...

Good news, I hope this anonymous Chinese hacker takes these shitty dongles down.

So, I'm reading that the True Blue dongle is dead? Speculation is rife that the E3 dongle/firmware is from the same people and will be releasing next month. lol

I know about the E3 dongle stuff, but what is the rumor/speculations regarding True Blue being dead?

Yes: 3.41/3.55
It's no longer in production and will be replaced by a new safer DRM dongle in July. I assume all newer games will require this dongle to function - if they didn't why bother making a new one?
or
Mr. Donglebreaker has struck again: 1/3.... Who's next?

Really? Is it official that True Blue will be discontunied and replaced by a safer dongle, by the same guys who makes TB? It would be funny/sucks (depending on how you see it) if the TB dongle becomes obsolete, and is "forcing" people to buy a new dongle if they want to play newer games on CFW.

This is from one of the True Blue resellers:
Also:
4.11 CFW... only if you buy one of these new dongles?

Thanks for the info 
Kinda sucks for those who bought TB, but i never cared much about it, so it doesnt bother me much. The TB dongle was cheap anyway (like $50?), so it wasnt much money that people "lost".

E3 TEAM released another game fix - Disney Universe, lol
They also posted an update on their dongle:

For me, the most interesting thing in that announcement is "It will work on a new high CFW in the future". I was under the impression that a CFW higher than 3.55 was impossible because they cant calculate the keys anymore. Meaning that just downloading a .pup file and install it like a normal firmware is no longer possible. Maybe it could be possible somehow if you're already on CFW though.

GTA4 goes to the pause menu
i added a disable pause menu option to the evil - best of the best GTA4 mod and you can now take screens
good mod. rockstar needs to improve the gang wars mode and officially add it to GTA V

I'm about to bite on a Cobra USB dongle, is it a bad move with all these new developments? I'm mainly interested in playing PSOne, PS2, and blu-ray ISO from HDD, which are unique features of Cobra I think, and they don't seem to be covered by what other teams are trying to do.

Highly disappointed with the PS3 scene, the only thing I ever wanted was a good mediaplayer, and some emulators that were promised early on: DC, N64... Neither have happened.

You need a backwards compatible ps3. There's an experimental emulator for slim consoles I think, but it's bound to be crap.
I'm just tempted by the idea of having all my PSOne, PS2, PS3, blu-ray and DVD library all on HDD and playable on one device (region free too).
I wouldn't get too excited just yet with the amount of bullshit that comes out of the PS3 scene.

so if this debug thing is true the ps3 will run all unsigned code but it won't have psn access?

From what i gather, backups wont work. You need to crack some protection to do this or use debug eboots. Private people have had PS3 debug/test units for years now, and i havnt heard anyone who have bypassed this protection yet, so i'm not sure that these news will change much.
I think that these news is another case of "daymn, shit just got real!" first-reaction, but then later on it ends up being hardly useful for anyone. But i wont speak too soon on this, only time will tell.

Not necessarily. Test and debug units have been around for quite some time, yet people werent running backups on them i.e in 2009. Multiman (a backup manager) was also just "recently" (a few months ago) being able to run on debug firmware 3.55. It will however not run on a higher firmware version.
That's probably more by design since the multiman guy is a dork.

No other backup managers excist for debug units as far as i know.
I didnt know that, my mistake, but i forgot about the debug eboots. The method you link to requires you to have a debug eboot. If people have access to these things today, then it would work fine. But it is hard to get access to those debug eboot today. It is not enough just to write a backup manager, dump a retail game and play it on a test/debug PS3 unit.
It was just simpler with debug eboots, there were more complicated ways to achieve the same results with retail eboots. Of course, when there are simpler methods then the more complicated ones are largely academic.
Not sure why you're focusing on backup managers though, nearly every system in existence has been able to play backups without a "backup manager", it just so happens to be a convenient way to play backups on a retail PS3, but there are many other potential methods of playing backups which do not require a backup manager.

What are those packages? It seems that it is something that you need to download, similar to debug eboots. I cant imagine that this applies much today. Unless you just wrote that to say that it could be possible in some cases a long time ago, that is fine
True, but i'm not focusing on backup managers. I just used Multiman as one example, to show that it isnt possible to just port over the current method that backup managers uses to run the backups and it will work fine on a debug unit as well. The backup managers are just a shell/GUI, i was referring to the method they use to be able to run the backups.
I didnt mean to say that it is impossible to find another solution, but the current method used wont work by simply just porting it over.
Here are some pros and cons:
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Cex2Dex
It says that every games signed with keys over 3.60 wont work. Of course it might be possible to decrypt these eboots and resign them with 3.55 keys. But if this happeneds in a large scale, then you might just as well use CFW 3.55 on a retail unit. My point was just that the debug/DEX units alone wont solve this problem.

It looks complicated, could some whizz make a pkg to do all the dirty work in regards to the debug conversion?
You would still need to run Linux on the PS3 to run metldrpwn.

So is it the conversion from retail to debug unit that's difficult, or is it just the patching of the eboots to make them work on the debug units that's the difficult part?

The Linux stuff looks a pain but this has been released today:
With a debug system could people dump memory/decrypted eboots and resign them to 3.55?

Would you be able to convert any PS3 to debug or is it still just 3.55?

I've read that this particular method doesnt work. I'm reading different stuff if its possible to use Linux or not though.
Not "out-of the-box".
3.55 is still needed. You need a way to decrypt some rootkey stuff (every PS3 have it's unique key, so you need to do it yourself) and to do this it looks like you still need Linux installed. Maybe another solution not requiring Linux will come, but you need to be on CFW 3.55 (or lower) at least.
Speaking of needing Linux. After seeing that this is possible through Linux, it makes sense why they decided to remove OtherOS support as an attempt to stop hacking.
