nub Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 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.) http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Its funny because you can jailbreak a PS3 with just about anything now.

(Pretty damn sure its impossible to interface with usb from basic.) http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/ 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. Its funny because you can jailbreak a PS3 with just about anything now. BREAKING: PlayStation 3 has been Jailbroken Using Apple iPhone and iPod touch [Video] http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-playstation-3-ps3-with-iphone-3g-ipod-touch-using-psfreedom-psgroove-video/ So, a USB drive, a phone, and a calculator. Yup, definitely has been jailbroken with anything now! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2010 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted September 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Richard Hammond Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
