PS3/PSP private keys released.

[MelodieOctavia]

Oh, really? Huh, I could have sworn I remember seeing some kind of blank UMD kit at Walmart or something but that was a long time ago...
Sorry >.

So...does this mean we can run homebrew easily off of the PSPgo? If so...it almost appeals to me more then the 1000...

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

Looks like I wasted my money on a $30 dongle and $6 switch. Fantastic news that this was accomplished, but it really sucks that I just threw that down the toilet!

I assume that the PSP Go uses the same private key as the other PSPs, so in theory, yes. In practice it may be a different story. Only time will tell what comes of this revelation.

Honestly I don't see why they wouldn't if the PSP and PS3 interchange...but still. Before I go and think about getting one, I really want to know XD Who needs CFW when you can just run them directly from OFW XD

 

[TheDestroyer]

not that I questioning the credibility of these discoveries, but does anyone working on this just to know if the keys are working as they should? would we get videos anytime soon?

I feel bad for Sony but meh. lol I guess its goodbye for custom firmwares.

 

[DeadlyAnGeL91792]

DAMN...all i can say is RAPESAUCE all over sony thats just bad the ps3 is as open as a vegas hooker that thing is screwed all they can do now is release a new system cuz its over no ones gonna want to make new games if they know there gonna be pirated so easy, the next gen push for sony might just be this hopefully they'll learn from there mistakes but me although i feel bad for them ill be abusing the shit out of this lol

The first thing I can think of off the top of my head is more features and freedom in a CFW, such as playing more audio/video formats, overclocking the CPU, The ability to completely change the layout of the XMB via custom themes (ala .ctf themes for PSP) , and running other executable formats.

Yeah, because no one makes games for the Wii or 360 for the same reason...oh wait...

Ehhh....okay, I got nothing, I take it back XD Still. It's possible to install firmware from a normal file, so...yeah. If it is, I may get the PSPgo just because it looks better XD

 

[rockstar99]

But what does this have over me using a PSP 3000 with CFW?My CFW supports plug-ins I dont think this will.

Feel free to correct me

 

[hova1]

i know this is maybe to early to ask but how would this work in the beginning? put code on a USB stick or CD/DVD and run it on the PS3?

 

[Gh0sti]

wow now people are going to start buying up PS3's good for the hacking community

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Most likely

-Use program to inject said homebrew or game file with private key
-For PS3, slap it onto the HDD, or with the PS3 onto the memory stick
-???
-Profit!!!

Sony's official software actually does use PRX plugins, so I'll assume any plugin somebody signs will work, though the problem is managing them and such, so I think that will be left to custom firmware (which will be a piece of cake to install now once it's created).

People, this solves the problem of getting code to run, but it doesn't mean we can instantly take full advantage of a system. People have to find, through trial and error, how to use certain pieces of hardware, and how to write to flash safely on new models, and they need to disassemble current firmware in order to find how to modify it and such, and that will take some more time (though now it's open to pretty much everybody).

 

[MelodieOctavia]

And just for the record, I do respect Geohot and the work he does, but when people fail to realize that most of his work is just piggybacks off of exploits other people found, it really rustles my jimmies.


So, I thank you Rydian for giving credit where credit is due.

 

[Rydian]

I don't agree with the people who say that Geohot's a fake and never hacked anything, but I will readily admit that his hacks are often continuations of other people's work.

 

[imgod22222]

Wanted to mention, if Rydian didn't make it clear enough.

This signature allows unofficial developers to create applications that will run natively on the PS3/PSP.

What it does not do:
ISO/USB/game loader; these are applications written by people.

So people can create applications and run them, but applications written by people can't be run.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

 

[shakirmoledina]

well written foxman... does geohot having nothing to do expect hack? (he's working for google i think, right?)

the psp thing was a surprise but its gonna be interesting what can be done to the pspgo... the iso loaders for the ps3 is just a few months away afaik
