PSP Emulation On PS3?

PSX-Scene user dimmudroid, has announced today that he has been working on a PSP emulator for the PS3. His work is still a “work in progress” but we will keep you updated on the latest information as it is available.

PS3 Yes... 1000th Clone here :)

PS3YES! have a little diff. than PS Jailbreak and other clone product

The official website is already up and running. Neo jailbreak has features that you might already be expecting like, plug and play solution, installs in seconds, easy to use installer, keep your valid warranty seal in tact.

Well the clones just keep on coming, here is another one, named PS3AVR, it is based of the AT90USB1286 Chip and can be used for a variety of projects including PSJailbreak and PSGroove.

US sales figures for August are in. Microsoft trumped rival consoles; Madden NFL tackled the software chart; PS3 is now in 13 million US homes.
Both console giants have released their statements on the data: hit the drop to see what each had to say on the matter.

ifcaro has released a PS3 PKGView tool that allows you to debug PS3 PKG files.

Here is another Chineese clone of PSJailbreak that is out there on the streets, presenting P3Free.

PSFreedom for HTC Droid Eris Released

Man, I never knew HTC made so many phones… Anyway, one more to add to the library: PSFreedom for HTC Droid Eris. By now I hope you’re familiar with the whole PS3 “jail breaking” process. But if you’re a new reader I’ll break it down for you… Actually it’s straight from PSFreedom ‘cuz whoever wrote it, wrote it oh so well.

PSFreedom for iPhone and iPod Released

But! Before you jump the gun you should know that this is considered a test release or an “early preview.” It’s not as straightforward as you’d hope. You need OpeniBoot installed and your iPhone must be a 2G or 3G model; iPod Touch 1G works too. Included are the sources that you must compile yourself for the iPhone; a binary is included for the iPod Touch. Because of its current state I’ll ask you visit the PSFreedom iPhoneLinux wiki page to download.

PS3Liberator announced

Just when you thought the clone wars were over, make way for PS3Liberator! Developed by NBZ360. PS3Liberator offers similar features to that of a PS Jailbreak. One thing different however is that the code that runs the exploit does not ship with the dongle. PSLiberator has an official site located at: ps3liberator.com. Although the site caters to the french market, they do offer shipping to the US. With a price tag of €49 (Approximately $62 US) which includes shipping, it offers another alternative at a relatively fair price.

Enable PSP/PS3 Remote Play for Games

PS3Hax member theblacksheep has figured out how to play ANY PS3 game via “remote play” function!

PSFreedom for HTC Touch (Raphael) & Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

Here you go — more PSFreedom for more devices.

Sony updates PSN, blocks all bypass!

Starting this afternoon, PSN was updated, so previous bypass like the simple DNS change over to 67.202.81.137 has now been blocked, along with other forms of proxy tools like Logan5's program.

TI-84 PSGroove Port updated to v1.1 with backup manager support

A few days ago we reported of the TI-84 PSGroove Port, but it did not support the backup manager. Today, Brandon Wilson has released the updated version with PSGroove v1.1 and patched to support PS3 backups.

PSFreedom now ported to the Droid!

Heres a port of PSFreedom for the Droid. Compiled against 2.6.32 kernel, so make sure your rootfs is from a ROM that uses that kernel. It was tested on CyMod6 but anything from that kernel should work. This port was really done as a collaboration between a bunch of people. Too many to name but if they want a mention let me know and Ill oblige.

Sony continues its pointless PSJailbreak hunt in Sweden

Sony's Lawyers has previously stopped the PSJailbreak from being sold in Australia, Germany and The Netherlands. Now it's Sweden's turn according to IDG Sweden. Sony's lawyers has sued Manzzon, Rejoy and WeChip and those stores has now removed the product from their shops.When checking the list of Authorized Dealers on PSJailbreak.com, you can now see that only 16 of the 26 listed shops actually sell the product.

Now Team Xecuter cater to PS3 hacker needs

Famed 'Xbox' hackers Team Xecuter have revealed that their factory has been commissioned to manufacture the Minimus AVR USB dev kit and have secured a large amount of components from Atmel. In addition to 'competitive pricing', Xecuter is guaranteeing high quality production as they do with all their products in the past as well as a 'tweaked design'. Power and Status LED's have been added as well as more duable RST/HWB buttons for bootloader acesss etc (video with PSGroove inside). The kit should be at some retailers next week. Looks like there will be no shortage of solutions, although hackers will have to 'fight back' with updates.

The official PSJailbreak team has confirmed that it is product is now shipping. Of more interest is the fact they have confirmed that they have an update to defeat firmware v3.42 ready which will be released in around seven days. They also claim that it will ONLY work with their solution and not clones. Moreover, they make a plea for users to support their solution because it costs money to provide support and new features. Full 'press release' is available to view below:

New Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with transforming D-Pad!

From Xbox Live's Major Nelson

We’ve just made the Xbox 360 Wireless controller even better with a brand new version that includes a transforming D-pad. The engineers have come up with an ingenious solution with a d-pad that can go from a plus to a disc with the twist of the wrist.

As I mentioned in my previous post, those Teensy++ boards arrived today. I just flashed mine and everything is working flawlessly. It’s incredibly simple.

PSGroove v1.1 updated with LV2 and Poke SysCalls

A new PSGroove update is out, bringing the version to 1.1. The update adds LV2 poke and peek syscalls, opening up access basically to a very restricted part of the PS3. If you didn’t understand anything I just typed, don’t worry about it – this is mainly appealing to devs and people interested in developing hombrew.

ooPo over at Github.com has released the open source version of the PS3 Tool chain. This basically allows you to make your own homebrew on the PS3 (conveniently released with the PSGroove v1.1 update).

Use the Xbox 360 NAND reader to jailbreak your PS3

Now this is very interesting, Looouky from Xbox-Scene has figured out that you can use an Xbox 360 NAND reader to jailbreak your PS3. You can actually MAKE your own 360 Nand Reader, just follow the instructions located here

PS3 FTP Server Homebrew application released!

Finally a second application has been released to use with the Dongles (PSGroove, PSFreedom, PSJailbreak), it is an FTP Server that allows you to browse your internal and external HDD's directly from your PC as long as your PS3 is wired into your home network. -- This makes it easier to transfer games of course!

But of course it allows you to finally poke around the previously unviewable internal PS3 HDD, in it's full working format, so you can now see where all your "game saves", "trophies", "and downloaded content", and even other neat stuff, like the "list of games that you play off-line, to be uploaded to the Big Sony Spy's once you have connected on-line".

PS3 FTP Server Homebrew Application

CJPC a well know PS3 developer has created the first true PS3 homebrew application, a PS3 Server application, here is what it states in the read me:

With the start of the real PS3 Scene, people sharing what they have – I decided to code up this little, horribly buggy app.
It is an FTP Server for the PS3, with it, on a retail with your choice of “hack” to enable unsigned code it allows:
Full Read/Write access to all of “dev_hdd0″ (including save areas, games, VM etc)
Full Read/Write access to “dev_flash2″ and “dev_flash3″
Full Read/Write access to connected usb devices
Full Read access to “dev_flash”
Full Read access to “dev_bdvd”
To use:
Connect with your choice of FTP client – Prefered is the old “ftp” from the command line, however Filezilla seems to work, allowing only one connection, and disabling PASV support.
Furthermore, the Server does not support some commands (like rename, of all things!) so make sure what you do counts!
Use the IP shown on the screen – make sure to have your net connection up and running before hand (wired is so much faster)
Connect to that IP, port 21, use the username: FTPD12345, and whatever password you like. I could have removed the username check in the library, but I’m lazy!
Be careful, some of the flash contents ARE writable , nobody is responsible for what you do to your PS3 but you!
Limitations:
Can not write to dev_flash
Can not rename files
Buggy as hell (randomly crashes, blame Sony!)
Files > 4GB increments show as the difference, for example a 6GB file shows as “2gb”, or a 11gb file shows as 3gb – It will download, well past 100% , just let it keep going!
Finally, this app was coded quickly, by someone who can’t code for the life of him. It mostly uses provided API’s, and the GUI is based off of a sample – but, it gets the job done.
Furthermore a tiny, tiny, super tiny bit of editing was done to the library to allow full access to the entire system, and the hack enabled the rest!

Thanks to CJPC for taking the time to create this great app

Mathieulh answers your questions about hacking the PS3

Mathieulh, self-proclaimed hacker and member of the PSGroove team has answered a number of questions that Maxconsole members sent his way. The questions answered range from various hot topics such as homebrew on the PS3 and whether Dark_Alex has made an attempt to get back into the 'scene'. So keep reading if you want to check out the Q&A session that you helped contribute to. If you're question didn't get though this time, don't worry there will be plenty more time to ask questions at a later date!

Rumor: PSJailbreak team fights back, new v3.42 update coming next week

Maxconsole member Dsav posted an interesting bit of news if true. The official PSJailbreak will release an update for their devices that is compatible with firmware v3.42 next week and these updates will not compatible with 'clones'.

The guys have released the new PSGroove update and the changelog is as follows - "Added a payload which patches lv2 to add peek and poke syscalls." This allows you to read and write memory essentially. 

Watch A PS3 Get Cracked By Two Mobile Phones And A Calculator

There's a reason Sony wants so badly to block jailbreak device's access: now that the code for the things is out there, people were using everything from mobile phones to calculators to get at their PlayStation 3s.

Well the list just keeps getting bigger and better. PSGroove has just been ported and released onto the Dingoo A320 by a well known developer named Waninkoko. For anyone who has no idea what the Dingoo is, it's a gaming handheld that supports music, video playback and has an open platform. Basically what that means is that anyone that would like to develop games for it can without the need to "jailbreak" it first.

Maximus will soon be offering their own PSGroove compatible board.

PsFreedom now on the HTC Desire

You can now add the HTC Desire to the port family, the tutorial by Klutsh is below.

Kudos to KaKaRoTo for his hard work and development.

psFreedom for Open Desire 4.0.4

Requirements:

The boards just keep rolling in. Another compatible PSGroove development board similar to the Teensy or AT90USBKey is being developed called the MinimusUSB. It will be shipping to distributors in the next week or so. According to sources, pricing will be similar to that of a Teensy and AT90USBKey. More info can be found on there website at: http://www.minimususb.com

Got an email from PS3Key people a few hours ago confirming that they have began prototype testing of the PS3Key. If your in the market for a clone, this may be one to wait for (primarily because of their reputation).
