PS3 finally hacked?


Recommended Posts

Says the guy that circumvented Apple security to run OSX on a hackintosh. Talk about hypocrisy.

Cracking PS3 is just the same as cracking Apple security, one lets you use unsigned code like media players, emulators, etc.. the other allows you to use Apple software on non-Apple hardware.

*edit* I like how you stealthily removed your Hackintosh sig.

Thread should be merged with ps3 hacked. As many devices can deliver the payload now.

This is a rather unique device to jailbreak the PS3 with. I think it warrants its own thread, but I'll leave that for the mods to decide.

I just find it interesting that someone programmed a freaking calculator to hack their PS3. This isn't a PS3 bash thread by any means.

Every device under the sun is being used to hack the PS3, it really doesn't warrant the separate topic. Otherwise we're going to be spammed with pages on each device.

The calculator isn't a special case, it should be merged with the ongoing topic.

If a mod thinks that's the case, they will do so.

I don't get what is so remarkable, if you can program something, you can no doubt sent the data needed for the jailbrake, its not like a pen drive is some super powerful technology.

As as mentioned, this should be really be merged with the current topic, we don't need a topic for every device that will do it. :p

The only devices I've seen are a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Am I missing something?

The calculator is the only unique device to me, because it generally doesn't hold the same kind of data you'll see found on a computer/phone, as it's almost never compatible (and, thus, never able to be uploaded). Is that not unique?

maybe the calculator it self was jailbroken?

Depends on if your willing to put in the time to do something with another device I guess, this isn't exactly a typical calculator.

They could do it with a VCR if they want, it still wouldn't need its own topic. :p

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "typical calculator." If you mean it isn't a simple arithmetic calculator, you're right. But this is the same kind of calculator I used all throughout high school. The only unique thing about it is that you can use a rudimentary form of basic programming on it, using a programming language that is specific to the calculator. Having written basic programs for it, I find it extremely amazing a PS3 was jailbroken with it.

And I disagree. If they could do it with a VCR, it would most definitely deserve it's own topic (even moreso than this deserves its own topic) given the way a VCR operates.

Then maybe someone can hopefully do it on a VCR so we can have another topic on it. :p

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
