[brunolee]

Today while doing one of my regular visits to the forum, I noticed this banner.

Code Unique 3, support CFW's 3.55, 4.21, and 4.30?
Where is it?
Is this a joke?

[GaryOPA]

Nope, sorry their website for CU3 will be up in about 2 days time.

Basically it is new form of Cheating Device for all firmwares.

[gDrive]

Is it me or does THAT dongle remind me of a certain clone of a certain dongle that was spat on by a certain group of hostile children that had the behavioural traits of a butthurt wannabe suicidal bomber? Hmmmmmmm!

Ahhh screw it - I'm just gonna say it here - it sure as heck looks like the JB-King dongle!

[toto67]

we at ps3-tools.de get a request for advertisement of this dongle, too.

we are an advertisement free board so we have to refused it.

but we reply them that we will test it and write a german review.

as an old bloody cheater that i be i am interested how this dongle is working.

it could be a good solution for cheater on cfw 4.30 no matter if it is an f...ing dongle.

[HotNsexy]

Just hope that one of these devices get to "Octoxor" soon haha...

[GaryOPA]

Just hope that one of these devices get to "Octoxor" soon haha...

[toto67]

LMAO talk about being lazy and cheap - mind if I buy them, spray them charcoal grey, and then brand them as a JB-King dongle so that I can hand them out to hackers without the makers of the dongle knowing what the fuck is going on?

Oh wait, mentioning my plans here isn't clever at all! Whoops!

[toto67]

I finished my German Preview & thought maybe it could be helpful for english speaking Users, too.

I hope you can enjoy, if not please do not blame me !!!



Product: Code Unique3

Platttform: PS3 DRM Cheat Dongle

Release Date: expected 21. June 2013

Price: not known at the moment

Developer Homepage: CU3.hk






Product

The unique code 3 is a DRM cheat dongle. Based on a existing developer board similar to PSUSERCHEAT, P3Go or JBK dongles.

With the CU3 it is possible to cheat 3.60 + Games on 3.55/4.21/4.30 CFW´s either from internal or external hard drive.

CU3 now support inofficial .dat File made with Aldostools Cheat Editor or every Texteditor.

It also allows switching between official and unofficial .dat Files.





Requirement


For operation of Unique3 a CFW (3.55/4.xx) and the installation of the appropriate CU3.pkg (3.55/4.xx) is mandatory.

To load Games from HDD a Backup Manager (Multiman / Iris Manager) also neesd to be installed.

The Cheatcode Database files (cheatlist.dat / cheatlist.txt) have been copied in the root directory of a USB Devices.





Impression of the Hardware


PCB looks very professional like the most of the other dongle products in the past.



CU3 comes in the same Case as PS3UserCheat, P3Go and JBK, no wonder as CU3 has exctly the same PCB Assembly as JBK.



Would be a nice if somehow, someone would decide to release a CU3 Payload which could be flashed onto the old JBK dongles as they are only Paperweights at the moment.





Impression of the Software


The software for the CU3 is not flashed on the dongle this time.

It can be downloaded as .pkg File for CFW's (3.55/4.xx) from the Manufacturers Website.

On the dongle there is flashed only a DRM encrypted payload for CU3.

The CU3 TEAM has a sense of humor so they have taken Wallpaper/Backround Melody of Oct0xor's chracked Unique2.



The possibility to use own cheatlist.dat Database File and switch during operation is the main new feature of CU3.





Homepage, Manuals & Downloads

For the test, a europeanized CECHA00 750GB REBUG 4.21 REX and a 60GB CECH2500B Rebug 4.30 CEX with built in E3Flasher was taken.

A 500MB USB HDD with Games was taken, too.

As Retail Disc in BR Drive Resistance Fall of Man (JAP) was used.

The current cheatlist.dat / cheatlist.txt were stored in the Root Directory of USB HDD & Thumpdrive Cruzer 4GB Cruzer.

With or switch between Codelist & Gamelist.





Operation of the CU3 / Game Installation & Cheat Selection


So there are no Problem after Cheat Selection it is better to install Gamedate before start cheating with CU3



It is important Cheats are fit with right Game Update because some Codes sometimes did not work with newer Updates.



It is better to try just one Cheatcode first as the combining of different codes can lead to crashes.





Operation of the CU3 / Start


When booting PS3 with plugged CU3 a warning is shown that an unknown USB device is connected.

This warning can be ignored as it is normal in this case.



Now the CU3.pkg software starts and the initialization process can started with .

Depending on what .dat File/s (officia/inofficial) are on the USBDevice the Initial Process takes between 1 & 2 minutes.

After successful initialization the CU3 jumps to the selection menu.

If inofficial .dat files were updated shut down PS3 and restart it.




Operation of the CU3 / Start with Backup Manager

Also a retail Game Disc have to be present in BR Drive of the Console.

What i think about CU3


The CU3 is a commercial DRM Dongle there is no way out, no matter if you like it or not.

The Option to use official/unofficial Code is a Step into right Direction.

The Release Date 21. June 2013 could mean the Maker of CU3 want see if there are User who want their Dongle before the come out with it.

Lets wait if the Encryption is good enough to prevent CU3 to be cracked very fast.

I believe this Dongle could have a future if there are some more Options/Things to do, like


- OFW Support

- Codeupdates with own Codes

- Credits for Hacker (very important !!!)

- new Option (For Example: Downloadable Database)

- Customer Support & Service (very important, too !!!)





The german Twin of this Preview can be found here.
