German Hacker, StreetSkaterFU, has succeeded in loading back-ups in the Playstation 3. He has in a video(video is below), that the Warhawk Disc is inserted in the PlayStation 3, and is loaded. The game Warhawk is not installed on the PS3 yet, but once the game started nothing will happen and you will see only see the XMB. Then Warhawk is suddenly loaded. If you don't believe this video well Alek, and mathieulh said it's real:

Finally it only works with a few games, it can easely be fixed by sony in any future firmware update, and of course it wont allow anyone to run any kind of unsigned code.
The video shows:
-- Warhawk running from HDD
-- No version PKG
-- No WH disc while WH is running
-- Motorstorm running as proxy disc
-- Legal way
I wont explain the details here till the project is finished 100%, also cuz many devs want to take a look at first and not get it patched that fast. I can say that if all will work like I want it to you'll need:
-- "Special" game dump of the game you want to play from HDD
-- One (any) original game bd
-- 2x minimum 60GB HDD's (illegal way - it worx but its not allowed in most countrys - its working like a packed game on psp memory stick)
OR
-1 60GB HDD + original disc (legal way - no need to be inserted while playing)
Im using newest firmware PAL 60GB SKU. 3 games tested yet - working.
Games which should be possible from the knowledge i got yet:
-- Warhawk
-- Motorstorm
-- Resistance
-- GT5
-- COD3
-- ...
I cannot check more atm, as I dont have else here. The final way will be a bit different than the video shows. Even there are 2 different ways to do it then, thats because there are 2 different groups of games. One can be done with 1 HDD but then you need the original disk of the game.
i dont support piracy, this is just to safe your discs
THIS IS JUST A PROOF OF CONCEPT - NOT A PROJECT FINISHED!
better quality vid will come when i get new hdd repaired + hdtv
I hope you see theres no hidden PKG (game list is shown), no hidden disk (i insert motorstorm). At the end of the video i just wanted to show its no test unit -> watch the settings.
Sorry for bad quality TV, my HDTV just exploded and i need to use SDTV for 2 weeks now
all in all its a hack for rich ppl as you need to have big 2 HDD's to store all games on it, which you want to play. 2 games would actually require about 50-100GB on both HDDs. if you have much space on PC hdd thats no prob as you can just backup and rewrite the data on HDDs.
the clicking sounds which liek keyboard typing in the background is just the cam auto focus.
