I've recently been thinking of buying a PS3 to catch up on the console exclusives I've been missing, and of course, being the cheap, dirty pirate I am, as well as just being opposed to Sony in general, have to know what degree of piracy I can achieve on it. As well, some nice emulators (PSP?) and other homebrew would be a nice bonus.
Rather than rely on the pieces of information that I found with googling, and since there really doesn't seem to be an up to date guide on how to hack a PS3, I'm going to ask other 'tempers. So, what PS3 SKUs/models, on what firmware versions, can be hacked, in what way, and to what extent? Also, what forms of piracy is available (Can you pirate PSN games? Can you play off an USB HDD?) and what forms of emulation are possible? (PSX, PS2, PSP are the 3 I'm most curious about, since I can do most others well on a PC)
tl;dr: Thinking of getting a PS3, how can I hack and pirate the shit out of it? Also, can I play PSX, PS2 and PSP games on it?
I'm not asking for ROMs and stuff, just, how can I hack it, and how can I run "backups" on it.
Thanks a lot
