PS3 Custom Firmware Loader – USB Firm Loader v0.2 Released

Whether you consider it the first, second or third step — it’s a step in the direction of PS3 custom firmware: JaicraB’s USB Firm Loader. Load [customized] PS3 firmware files off a USB stick in a few simple steps:

2. Download and copy the entire “dev_flash” folder to your USB mass storage devices’ root directory.
3. Copy JaiC_USB_FIRM_LOADER.pkg to the root too.
4. Install USB Firm Loader.
5. Now run USB Firm Loader with the USB mass storage device attached; it should return you to the XMB with the firmware loaded off the USB stick.

Trophy Hacks – How to Platinum Any PS3 Game

You knew it was going to happen: Trophy Hacks! The only caveat: You can’t sync with PSN, which makes it a cool hack, for now (no online cheating). Vssiky over at nextgenupdate.com has written a detailed tutorial on how to hex edit your way to the top (of the offline world).

PSP-Mediated JailBreak Impractical

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it would seem the PSP port of PS JailBreak / PSGroove / PSFreedom, whatever you want to call it, isn’t happening anytime soon. That is unless someone else who we don’t know is hacking away at it, which is possible. Don’t get me wrong — the PSP port is not impossible, so to speak — it’s just not feasible, says the maintainer of this project page.

PSN Demo Installer & Demo Manager Released – Install PSN Content on your Hacked PS3!

I bet you’re wondering, “What the? … How the hell do you download PSN demos without PSN access?” And know this — Media GO doesn’t give you access to PS3 demos either — just PSP. But that’s all right because those shady cats over at ps3news have a whole system dedicated to PSN links. Click here and download a demo or two.
Now what? Download PSN Demo Installer and follow the instructions in Readme.txt. The end result being this: Install & play PSN demos on your hacked PS3 at 3.41. Pretty cool, huh? You can thank stadicon for the Windows app.

PS3 “Homebrew” Pong Released

While it may not be considered “homebrew” (read: compiled using the leaked PS3 SDK) we know this is how it all started way back in the early PSP days. First Pong and other small game demonstrations, then eventually the open source [PS3] SDK matures, then the real homebrew starts. So in the meantime, enjoy Lachrymose’s first: PS3 Pong.

DIY: D2Groove – PSGroove for your D2Prog

Groovy… D2PROG, a device used for programming the popular Wii D2PRO modchip, can be modded in such a fashion where you can now hack your PS3 with it. Yessir — PSGroove for your D2PROG — Dream calls it D2Groove.

PS3 Firmware 3.50 Announced

Sony announced at TGS 2011 today that FW 3.50 will land on September 21st and will bring 3D Blu-ray movie support.

Reverse Engineering the PS JailBreak Payload

Sure, the exploit works, we know that. We even know how the exploit is triggered and the payload delivered. But do you really know how and why it works? Mathieulh tweets a cool breakdown detailing what’s understood up to this point. Consider it a “behind-the-scenes” look at the actual payload — the code that makes it all possible. What does that mean for you, right now? Not much. But it’s a cool read if the low-level stuff interests you.
