Potential PS3 homebrew exploit found, tests ongoing |
Ó
Now, we can't give you much information on what the exploit is because the exploit is still under testing, but it is hoped that the exploit might reveal itself to be one that allows for the use of homebrew on the PS3. As we said, information is scarce, but Placasoft has mentioned in some forums that he will be releasing more information on the matter next week.
While we're waiting though, here's a video of one of the tests of the exploit. As Placasoft mentions in the video, he is trying not to get people's hopes up, so for now, this is just an advisory regarding the existence of the exploit. What it does and what it can do, we shall find out next week.

That was just stupid. Why even post this in the blog?
Why u post this, when you haven't find a way to start homebrew?
furthermore, why do u explain, how the exploit works, leak this exploit from another forum and post it?
Now Sony will fix this hole...
ALLELUYA!!!!
This is good news.
But it seems it's just like the other exploit.
Booting is possible but no play.
It seems they didn't find open ports yet.
Nice though: This works on EU PS3s. Thus it doesn't "need" the emotion-chip.
It's NEWS regarding the PS3. Listen, if this did lead to some wonderful exploit for the PS3, and QJ had never posted it about it, then everyone would be saying,
"Where was QJ on that? Damn, they're so slow".
And now, they post potentially exciting news about PS3 homebrew and you're upset.
You just can't win with people.
homebrew is good, but it always attracts iso and pirates. I
hope sony completely abolishes homebrew. blame the !@#$ing pirates, they ruin the game industry.
YEAH !!! Soon I will be able to play a *****ty version of Tetris in my XMB !!!
Seriously, this is an interesting start... but I doubt it will go anywhere...
dude you ever owned a PSP? so what if they make an exploit,then we'll get to play Shareware DOOM and an N64 emulator running at 7 fps,WOOOOOOHOOO OOOO!!! THIS IS LIVING! Shareware Doom and an N64 emulator are the true reasons why i forked out $600 for a PS3!
There is no way to satisfy. I for one, dont give a ***** what you post, if it peaks my interest good, if it doesnt, oh well I skim it over. People act so retarded nowadays.
its not homebrew's fault, its the people who exploit it. Homebrew is great since it allows anyone to program their own software. Sony supported that idea by giving us linux. however there are some people who use it to rip off the game industry.
well considering the ps3 is probably 200 times stronger then a ps3 im pretty sure after about 2-3 months you will be getting game speeds at 60 fps although some games will have graphical problems at 1st but it def will not be running at 7 fps. and theirs so much more then shareware doom such as vnc which lets you view and control your pc through your psp which if it came to sony would be really cool it would be like having windows on your ps3 which is what im dying for.
I thought that exploits or any test by coding outputs a "Hello World". I just saw a screen flicker. WTF! I'm going back to Resistance!
Don't bother me until I see Mario jumping across the GD screen!
If this eventually works sony will just make an update and will will have to update to connect online.
I Hope blu-ray ISO's will never be made possible. With a launch of PS3 homebrew people could find a way to rip ISO's from blu ray discs. Let's hope not. If homebrew will start in a lot of ways it is good though.
How can a ps3 be 200 times stronger than itself. Sony will add a new update that prevents homebrew and disable PSN for people without that firmware.
blue screen = hypervisor saying nice try but no
this is from nevada, he works at sony and he made the ferrox loader
mikey meant 200 times stronger than a psp dumbas5. N hell yea this would b kool...Put windows n try n see if i can get AOL on my ps3
People always find a way... This IS going to go somewhere
Fact: The playstation3 is 200x stronger than the playstation3. Not to be outdone by the playstation3, which is 6x stronger than that.
Fiction: The playstation3 is equal in power to the psp.
Cell is too complicated. Even Sony is struggling to use it properly, why do you think we don't have standard PSP features like wallpaper yet? Also, no one has made any Cell applications for PS3 linux, such as video encoders, where Cell could be powerful.
Considering all of this, and the difficulty of Cell, exploiting the XMB/Hypervisor is obviously only in the interest of pirates. Even if it was just for an Homebrew emulator, its still piracy, just not PS3 piracy.
Face it, we don't NEED a custom firmware, or exploit for HOMEBREW.
thats the most retarded comment ive ever heard. Of course sony can use it properly. them and ibm built it! Otherwise they wouldn't have used it. And second, you don't need to program for cell. Thats only low-level assembly programming used in games. Just like nobody programs in assembly for PSP. And PS3 linux is no different from regular linux. You can program in all kinds of languages for it.
Hate to burst your bubble, but you can already download Blu-ray disc ISOs off certain bit torrent tracker websites. Although a good chunk of them are up in the 10+ GB range.
you are such a dumbassss plz stop breathing you bird brain *****got
^^
sorry about the typo but yea thats like my dream app to get on my ps3 i could probably do it through linux but have nooo idea on how to use linux i dont even know why its on my ps3 lol
At least since it works on the new update this means idiots can stop refusing to update or connect to the PSN for fear of loss of hackability, like I've seen some commentors doing.
"Let's cripple my backwards compatibility so I may in 2 years be able to download some hacked software!"
Homebrew is nice, but I'm not downgrading my PSP for it, nor my DS, and just no way for something as expensive as the PS3
only if you update. this is for fw 1.8 and 1.81 if you stay at those fw's then your good. im at 1.51 lol and i can play online with the proxy bypass
Placa didn't even want this info circulated like that in the first place. He even said he didn't want to get people's hopes up and hype up something that might hit a dead end. But QJ and Maxconsole posted it front page... why? Blatant disregard for the author's request NOT to hype this up.
your all dummies...nobody cares about your opinion on whether homebrew should make it or not on the ps3. nobody cares if you cry like a little ***** about piracy....OH NO NOT THAT!!!11!!!1!ONE!!11111
everybody cares about only me, not you...me. I'm special, I ride the short bus. I'm always right and always here to correct you little fgts who try to act smarter than you really are lolo
gg
screen flicker is the hello world. He programed the screen to flicker and he installed his own signed .pkg on the ps3. this is great because people can program anything and just convert the format to .elf and .self and have it go inside a .pkg.
of course this will eventually lead to iso's and pirates because .pkg files can be anything. Including a loader.
Why the fxxk would you want AOL on your ps3...? The PS3 comes with a very good internet browser built in. Not only that, but AOL is a terrible internet service. Furthermore, Windows XP and Vista are very memory consuming and I'd doubt you can expect an emulator for either of them ever. IMHO, Windows 95/98 are probably possible on the PS3.
PS3 Dev hook on the way with emulated firmware and all the rest i can see a couple of iso's on a 60 gb hard drive Wahoo!!
This is what everyone whose reading this want otherwise go and pay 40 quid for ya games and stop posting sh*t
U nerd what the hell is a proxy bypass? Ur a dumbas5 for staying at 1.51 though... Theres lots of kool new stuff in the updates.
aol or aim. i want it for its instant messenger (duh 8^(_ ) AimOnPSP.com dosnt work on the ps3. Hey and AOL works REALLY good on my computer so...have a glass
o and itd b kool if I could plat battlefield 2142 on my ps3
I knew mikey meant the psp. I was joking.
If he is right I will be somewhat pleased yet somewhat not.
Until we have custom firmwares. :)
At least PS3 games can't be played yet. Sony need the money from these games.
Both of you can go F.U.C.K yourself. I hope you both die a long and painful death.
so will dark alex ever switch over and make some custom firmware for the ps3.
Sony lets you run Linux on the PS3, which gives you everything you need to do MythTV-type functions (along with a supported USB 2.0 tuner, I suppose).. you can run emulators, etc., etc., etc.
There's no need for 'homebrew' hacks on the PS3 unless you want to pirate warez.
No, thank you.
THINK ABOUT IT DAEDALUS ON PS3 , YES, FINALLY, LOL
the PS3 web browser is horrible. It freezes and lags and takes forever to load images. Everytime I use it i almost throw the controller in frustration. Sony needs to improve that POS now. Switch to a firefox based version or something
PS3 SUCKS. PSP > PS3
ME NEVER WORK ON PS3 LOLO ME SO DUMMY
Your an idot Nicolas B!!!!! You want homebrew then go buy a PSP fool. Homebrew on my $600 next gen PS3......Uhhhh no thanks.
P.S. Your an idiot
YOU GUYS ARE *****ING RETARTED WHY DONT YOU JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX AND STOP MAKING A BIG FUSS OUT OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT EVEN PROVEN YET !!!!!!!!
Homebrew is among the greatest things you can hope for on a console. thats why i bought an original xbox. tons of homebrew, xbmc and linux. Sony has already made it possible to run linux on the ps3, and to run windows xp on it, all you have to do is install gentoo, compile the qemu sources so they run on the cell and then install xp like normal. but it runs slow, so just use linux. AIM already comes installed on it. have you never heard of Gaim?
you're*
Kind of ironic... dumbass. I wasn't saying I wanted homebrew, I was saying that QJ has the right to report on PS3 news.
You also don't even know how to reply to a comment.
P.S. You're an idiot
this is cool but....i dont think i could ever risk my 600 dollar system on a tetris game i could just as easily play on my psp or even my pc. ISOs could take forever to download and grab up way to much space on my hard drive.
i would love free games but no amount of stolen goods would replace the space of the brick i would gain.
if hes a nerd that would make thousands of people who do nerds... maybe hes not a nerd and ur just dumb
Vincents right ^_^
people on lower firmwares are useing ps3 proxy severs ran of a pc to get access to their psn already
go to ps3news.com for further inf i think this will let hackers to boot homebrew, iso and my dream will come true when they will boot ppc verson of windows nt

I didn't know if that worked or not.
It's quite amazing how many idiots decide to comment.
Like I'm ever going to bother going on that website.
Is this turning into a support forum now?
This is nothing, i could even do this. all it invlolves is editing a .pkg file.
There is every reason to find a way to run homebrew natively on the PS3 until Sony opens up the RSX for use inside Linux.
I meant cell-optmized programs that take advantage of the SPUs. Sure you can run standard PPC applications on the Cell but they are slower than a PC because the true power is in the optimized use of the SPUs in parallel with the dual core processor. Regardless of weither Sony is having problems or not, you did not state while Linux is not good enough and why we need to hack the Hypervisor. Give me one good reason that Linux is not good enough, because piracy. And I don't want to hear "RSX" because TerraSoft has already created a mesa using Cell and SPU.
and as soon as a game look better on the 360 they say that developers still havent tapped the piss s 3's potential. well look at the games. if they look the same the ps3 version will have frame rate problems. thats why the 360 versions always look better. the developers have to lower the games graphics in order to make the ps3 version run smooth. face it the ps3 is MAXED OUT! there is NOTHING more a developer can do to make it better!
i dont think pirating will be too much of a problem initialy bcause not too many ppl are willing to fork over $400 - $500 for a blu-ray burner and then pay $20 for the blank disc... but in the future when prices drop it could create a problem for the legitimate homebrew crowd
I used a loader disc for my PS2 and swap the discs when it asks me to. I would think this isn't possible with the PS3 because it doesn't have the flip up top that the slimline PS2's have. Pushing the eject button on a PS3 console kicks you back to the playstation dashboard. How on earth (unless there is custom firmware written to accept backups without a loader disc) will they ever get this working? Are we all going to have to take the casing off our PS3's perminantly?
