PS3 finally hacked?

[nub]

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.\

Its not written in basic. Its a flash app.

Its written in assembly language.

Its a regular ti-84+ calculator. No modifications.

(Pretty damn sure its impossible to interface with usb from basic.)

I see little to gain from the hack personally, PS3 already meets my media and gaming needs. I'm certainly not compromising my system for it.

Its funny because you can jailbreak a PS3 with just about anything now.

You're not reading my post correctly. "Basic" is a description of the type of programs (as you can't get too complicated with them), not the language (although a variation of BASIC is utilized on TI-84 Pluses, and I suppose the use of "basic" in my last sentence could have a dual meaning in that regard). It's surprising regardless of whether or not it was written in BASIC or Assembly.

So, a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Yup, definitely has been jailbroken with anything now! :rofl:

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?

No, not really.

There's progress being made on the DS3, PSP, Gp2x Wiz and even the TomTom One.

Dingoo has already been completed.

Basically anything with a USB port & flashable USB memory is capable (within reason).

I'm failing to see why its important that its a calculator... It's a pretty damn advanced calculator to be fair but all its doing is injecting a package

Exactly, as Munky says, anything that can output via USB is most likely going to be capable of this if they can flash the hack to the product.

They are not too optimistic for the psp port however...

So much for that magical backup loader 1.1 update that would enable MKV playback and PS2 emulation on ALL PS3s....

[Richard Hammond]

So much for the magical USB device that enables you to play backups on PS3, oh wait............

Just because its not here doesnt mean its not real, you dont have to be an arse about it.

Excuse me but what crawled up your ass over my frustration at the Spanish (?) website that reported this news? Chill pill dude.

They said on or before the 15th...and its not the 15th yet now is it?

[Snowl]

Got my Teensy 2.0 but have no idea how to use it :l

When I un-plug the console and re-plug it, press power then eject it turns on, the led on the teensy flickers after a few seconds but the ps3 never does anything :L

Did you program it with pspgroove?

[Snowl]

Did you program it with pspgroove?

Yeah.

[nub]

"Never does anything"?

[Snowl]

doesnt output video and hard drive doesnt flicker

[DPyro]

You need to be on firmware 3.41. Also need to edit some lines in the makefile.

[Snowl]

Forgot about that >_> 3.15 here

[DPyro]

Just make sure its 3.41 and not 3.42 ;)

[Snowl]

Just make sure its 3.41 and not 3.42 ;)

:D will the https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/820082-latest-playstation-3-firmware-update-thread-v2/ be 3.41 or 3.42

:s

[DPyro]

Also in PSgroove make sure you change this line:

MCU = atmega32u4 - for teensy 2.0

MCU = at90usb1286 - for teensy ++ 2.0

So as I said, looks like they were talking out of their arse.

Its gone all quiet on the hack front as i thought it would do once new firmwares start to come out, unless they find an exploit in the dissasembled firmware they have then this hack is dead in the water.

Apparently the exploit was introduced in FW 2.01, and runs right up to 3.41.
