PS3 has not been cracked yet... probably won't be in the near future.

Yeah. It's pretty easy. Install Linux on the PS3, then just

Code:
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt # or whatever the usb hdd's name is
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/mnt/somegame.iso
# umount /mnt
Then plug the external drive into your PC, and burn the image to disk.

Thanks for the info. How do I install Linux/where do i get it from? Also do you need to burn the image onto a bluray disc or something?

Here's a tutorial, please be sure to pay extra attention to the warning in red at the beginning of the article:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Insta...3-100880.shtml

That article is slightly outdated but useful. A complete install guide can be found here:

http://us.fixstars.com/support/insta..._ps3_guide.pdf

before proceeding, please also review the technical advisories here:

http://us.fixstars.com/support/advisories.shtml

you can download YDL here:

http://us.fixstars.com/support/downloads/

If you have any general Linux related questions, you can post them here or PM me and I will answer them. Although I've never done an installation on a PS3, I have friends that have, and I've been working with Linux for ~14 years. The most important thing in an installation of this sort is to prepare thoroughly by making sure all the prerequisites have been satisfied (e.g. having a USB keyboard, connecting the PS3 to your router via Cat5, etc.), and following the instructions as closely as possible. If you run into problems, reach out to someone for help. In addition to asking me for help, there is a YDL forum here:

Good luck.
