Geohot Has Hacked The Playstation 3

It will be another 6 months before you see anything come of this. There is gonna be a lot of reverse engineering. Then a lot of programming. Dont expect to see perfect emulators and iso loaders by the end of the month.

is it a hardware or software exploit?

Both. Linux is needed on the PS3 and something is needed to be done on part of the insides.

Yes to it only working on phats, no to the Linux question. The PS3 games can't run on Linux.

If I'm not mistaken, there's not even an emulator on the PC. I highly doubt a homebrew PS3 emulator would be there earlier, and I don't believe Sony will make one either.

I've heard that there is a PSP emulator for PC, although it needs to be a fairly high-end computer to handle it.
