  Open USB Loader 0.4 beta preview posted by djdynamite123
09-18-2009
 


ifcaro is back with a new preview version of his USB Loader for the PS3. For the moment we cannot test it but it is open to potential beta testers.
Quote:
Unfortunately there is no changelog, it is too early for that, but no doubt that the author should we hold some surprises.
To recall this USB Loader can load the PS1 and PS2 backups on your PS3, provided of course that it has the EE (Emotion Engine: chip enable backward compatibility), you must also have an original disk Swap Magic 3.6 + / 3.8 and a flash drive or a PSP in USB mode
If you want to be part of the beta testers, you must apply for this address
Source thanx to bhaal at WiiAddict/PS3Addict for the news tip

[EDIT] read the comments below, the beta is available to test!

  Boot BD-J Homebrew on any PS3 posted by brakken
09-04-2009
 

Source haxnetwork



Got a few BluRay discs to burn (literally)? Well the hackers over at Demonhades have figured out that you can still run BD-J homebrew via BD-R on any PS3 firmware.
Translation from Demonhades post:
It appears that recording to any homebrew BD-R BD-Java, this can be run from any console from any firm.
To make it work implements have to record the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders in the root of the disk. PS3 to get it into the menu of [Video] we will bear in our BD and homebrew. I leave you a video:
From here it follows that only banned the BD-Java and the USB reader targetas Letor BD but no ban.
What do you think? Surprised? I think from this you can make the PS3 Scene reborn a bit to take it away because it took off all his scene. With this the Sony console is able to load emulators, and homebrew games Aplisa.

  PS3 Slim! real or fake? posted by djdynamite123
07-15-2009
 


There isn't much information about it but you decide what you think of it.

Features?

- It has a 120GB HDD.
- Two USB Ports
- The 'touch' button for eject and on seems to be gone, and there are now these random buttons.
- The ps icon is now white instead of colored.
- No more card reader
- PLAYSTATION 3 is gone, rather its PS3. It says this on the bottom as well for some reason.
- The guy was selling it with a Dualshock 3. Whether it is compatible is another matter.
- The guy was selling it for 20,000 pesos, which is roughly £250, which is roughly $410

  PS3 Linux SDL video support added posted by brakken
04-06-2009
 

D.Herrendoerfer from IBM has released a patch for PS3 SDL which enables some advanced video functions.

Quote:
This patch provides basic support for video on the Sony PS3 Linux framebuffer. Scaling, format-conversion, and drawing is done from the SPEs, so there is little performance impact to PPE applications. This is by no means production quality code, but it is a very good start and a good example of how to use the PS3's hardware capabilities to accelerate video playback on the box.

The driver has been verified to work with ffplay, mplayer and xine. This piece of software has been developed at the IBM R&D Lab in Boeblingen, Germany and is now returned to the community.

  Playstation 3 Flash ECC Algorithm Decrypted posted by brakken
09-26-2008
 



PS3HAX
is reporting that the Sony Playstation 3's firmware has been decrypted and certain individuals can read and write to it. The consensus is that this is done on a development PS3 (not a retail unit) using an Infectus modchip. It seems that this could lead to the ability to downgrade your PS3 and install a custom firmware on the unit (which is far away, if even possible).

Quote:
Hackers have managed to reverse the code on the ECC protection on the PS3. What is the ECC Protection? The ECC protection basically kept the PS3 from booting with a custom flashed rom, with the ECC now claimed to be reversed, we can now generate custom ones to allow the rom to boot! The hackers have also claimed that through the reversing of the ECC they have found where the encypted keys are stored for SELF's, PKG's etc.

  Build Linux lab equipment from a Sony PLAYSTATION 3 posted by brakken
09-11-2008
 

Lewin Edwards a Design Engineer has posted part 1 of his guide on how to make a Linux based laptop out of a Sony Playstation 3 on IBM's DeveloperWorks section of their on-line site. It's not fancy, no pictures, but includes the necessary information to get you started.

Quote:
"How do you take the Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.) processor from an off-the-shelf Sony® PLAYSTATION® 3 (PS3) and use it to construct a piece of Linux®-based laboratory equipment (in essence, taking the Cell/B.E. from fab to hab to lab)? In this series, Lewin Edwards shows you how to go from game console to simple audio-bandwidth spectrum analyzer and function generator. First up, uncover the design intent of the project and then make a close inspection of the details of the user interface implementation as you start a journey to generate and analyze signals on the Cell/B.E. processor."
