Very simply I had a .h264 encoded video file, and encapsulated it through VLC with M2TS, and transferred it to the PS3; it claims the file is "Corrupted Data". When selected the PS3 prompts the screen with "The data is corrupted."

Here's the good part, that same file, when selected after entering a game (any game), will produce a completely black screen, no info, no beep, no nothing and the controller circle and other buttons won't work. (PS button works, but when the system is turned off it sounds like its yelling @ you (the
beeps))

Usage (tested on v1.10):

To use this, put the included "libmpeg.mpg" file in a /VIDEO folder of your Jumpdrive or similar storage device.

Turn on the PS3, then go to Video, select your Jumpdrive, and select the "Unsupported Data" file and launch it by pressing X.

If your PS3 is Firmware v1.10 or less (we tested v1.31+, and it appears plugged/fixed in them) then you should receive a BLACK SCREEN... and if your Jumpdrive has a light it may also go out.

Next, power off your PS3 by pressing and holding the button. You will receive a series of green LED blinks (about 25 total) and around blink #19 you will also receive a series of audio BEEPS as well. Finally, your unit will shutdown to a red LED and upon powering back on all will be back to normal.


Usage (tested on V1.11):

To use this, put the included "libmpeg.mpg" file in a /VIDEO folder of your Jumpdrive or similar storage device.

Plug this device into your PS3 and load either a PS1, PS2, PS3, or Bluray disk or a demo and then exit using the PS button.

Upon returning, go to Video, select your Jumpdrive, and select the "Unsupported Data" file and launch it by pressing X.

If your PS3 is Firmware v1.11 or less (we tested v1.31+, and it appears plugged/fixed in them) then you should receive a BLACK SCREEN... and if your Jumpdrive has a light it may also go out.

Next, power off your PS3 by pressing and holding the button. You will receive a series of green LED blinks (about 25 total) and around blink #19 you will also receive a series of audio BEEPS as well. Finally, your unit will shutdown to a red LED and upon powering back on all will be back to normal.


The next step will be sorting how to inject code using this method, followed by lovely PS3 homebrew and iSO Loaders of course!
