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.)

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.

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? blink.gif Chill pill dude.

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.

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
