Update: The TIFF exploit has been tagged useless — it won’t lead anywhere.
Update: The video has been reposted; again, keep in mind — this is not from Team ICE. See my comments concerning the video below.
Update: Just to clarify some things, Team ICE didn’t release the video; sorry if I implied that. Whether or not the video was legit is a different story — like I said, it was quite convincing. We’ll find out in the coming days no doubt. For now, have fun playing with the Team ICE tools.
Update: Unfortunately the video no longer works. Earlier viewers witnessed a very convincing “Hello World” screen called from the PS3’s XMB. I’m sure more updates are ahead…
Baaaaam, peanut butter and jaaaaam! Team ICE has released their ELF 2 SELF converter tool for Windows; alongside documentation, examples, and other related goodies in connection with the Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm (R:FOM/MS) exploits.
Say it ain’t so…
My apologies for my earlier skepticism (see here). I’m thrilled to be proven otherwise. Kudos team.

Wow, that sounds like some good news. Sure did wish I could see the video, but its been taken down on youtube. Great job guys, progress is awesome.
Ill make a bunch of avatars and upload for you guys
My comment has nothing to do with the above comment.
I T S F A K E ! ! !
Don´t mind reading anything below this.
Video doesnt work
NOOO vid is down :(
but this is great news!!!!! finally the PS3 has said “Hello” to the world!!!! XD
whoevr saw da vid (greg?) can u tell us wat happened?
The video showed the person going to the Tiff exploit via the ‘photo’ icon. then the words ‘HELLO WORLD by team ICE’ popped up.
i almost cried.. it was beautiful.. :D
TIZIZIGHT!! get the vid up again!
so this means what?
It means that unsigned home written code has been run on the machine theoretically opening the doors for programmers to write code to run on the machine. But, from what ive read, it is very hard to write code to utilize the cell processor, so unless we get a nice development kit leak, it will be another obstacle to figure out the entire infrastructure of the machine and how to make quality programs for it.
peace
OMG, if this is true, i will sell my PSP and buy right now a PS3!im dead serious!
Keep the PSP and get a PS3….I’ve heard the remote play feature is pretty F’n sweet!
bullshit
hey…fuck you
bull you’re bullshit.
One year later and we have hello world. I guess thats a start. I’ll check back next year for the pong game.
LOL, priceless
hey, it took a year to get it on the wii as well. not TOO bad for the ps3s security but then again it sucks compared to how fast the 360 was hacked.
umm.. the 360 was NEVER hacked. firmware flashing a discdrive=drive mod
running unsigned code (which can’t be done on the 360) = hacked
FU. Why don’t you get off your lazy ass you FUKK an twat and do something besides jerking off.
youre name suits you idiot
agreed he forgot the CK .
May all the none believers eat their words :D
*yawns* has a wank
great work
No faith ’til Brooklyn.
Everyone has some *basic* knowledge of SELF format and have read source code of elf2self knows that it can’t work. For many reasons.. The most import: Sha1 (checksum) of self isn’t recomputed (and can’t be recomputed without having all elf in cleartext). Bad checksum means that executable can’t pass any authentication on ps3.. so black screen means only the gameos can’t manage elf2self output, ’cause ps3 thinks is corrupted (and it is :P ). That code proved one thing. Ice Team is really far, not only to break ps3, but even to understrand how really it works.
I’ve put in uri – the evidence on using of sha1. it’s based on alanysis done on a cleartext warhawk self by gigi and ralferoo on ps2dev forum.
ok seriously….how has noone put up a new vid yet?
NEVER FEAR!

sorry…i meant

is anyone working on this to produce emulators right now? or is it just team ice? someone produce a emulator or some kind of homebrew please.
Video doesnt work
Well if this does work then we’ll have to stop upgrading since the next official would probably patch this exploit to prevent any further development from it.
Quello che dicono di aver fatto gli ICE è un tool che cripta gli ELF in SELF ma in realtà non fa una cippa, prova per credere, l’ELF rimane tale e quale, solo con un header di SELF …………..mah puo essere indicativo per il futuro ma secondo me siamo ancora lontani!!!!
why not in english :(
i just understand the half of what you want to say. and i think i’m not alone. it’s really sad that even speakin 4 languages isn’t enough.
think i’m goin to learn portuguese so i can understand more spanish
but great! homebres IS comming to us :)
HELLO HOMEBREW XD
ma… dimi una cosa.. perche tuti qesti cretini voglono che parli inglese..
its italian not portuguese.
lmfao its not portuguese or spanish… dumbass
speriamo di no.. chista cualcuno che fa stecoze in italia??
Sweet! Looks like I’m getting my PS3 in time before they send out patched PS3’s. In 2 weeks I’ll be sporting me one. Waits for further dev’
Quake
woo! soon can dump firmware to memory stick and make custom firmware to run backups on hard drive!
i’m sceptic about this… seems to be an image file… of course i hope this is real
so does the mean we can play back ups?
just wanted to no if anyone els thinks that it is possible that he just switches the input so it is displaying it from sumting such as a dvd of his laptop. also cudnt it just be an image file ??? lol soz if i am wrong and this is not possible just wanted othe ppls opinion
also just wanted to add that it does look like a dvd player is turned on under his tv stand.
he never switches video sources or else you would see it flash to a different source like video1, 2 etc..
depends on what tv
he could have disabled it
WOW! Anybody can make a blank image file with some words at the top. You can’t even see the image type and the image opens straightaway…normally when you open a TIFF to do an exploit the screen goes blank for ages. This just looks like a picture being displayed!
i think so too… the long pause time must be made of a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge file
some say high resolution image will do the same effect. I will trythis tonight
Well at least there is some news. I hope its true, but even if its not at least it pumped a little life into the community.
i agree with scbond and 0xBADCAB1E. it could very well be a large (uncompressed) tiff image with a black background and the worlds ‘hello world’ which would require some time to load. in my opinion, this video proves nothing. it’s likely a F*** you to ps3news.com (the end of the video says ps3news suck) whether or not it was released by team ice or someone else. ps3news has been somewhat bashing team ice’s ‘discoveries’ in the past few weeks.
I agree, i though exactly the same. unless there was some form of animation, or even a code showing position of the sixaxis i will still not beleive this
this is probably the article that got them pissed off… http://www.ps3news.com/PlayStation3/ICE_ICE_Baby_Source_Code_debunked_Old_IBM_Code/
has anyone noticed that in the video, when he’s going through the folders and gets to the “tiff” file, there are 3 icons that show up, and as he starts to scroll down, a 4th icon appears and then disappears? also, the text beside the icons flickers from small to large. and lastly the waves in the background also jump in position when he gets to his “tiff” file. the video is obviously edited. i also tried opening up a large tiff file with the words hello world on the ps3. i get pretty much the same results. it waits awhile to load and then pops up. from my tests, the ps3 won’t read image files over 40 megs but requires a several seconds to open it. in order to make the file not show a preview pic, all you need to do is make the tiff file layered (when reading the file from memory card). it won’t show a preview of the pic and instead will show the default photo icon. i pretty much achieved what he did. this is totally bogus.
no questions about it, this is the shittest video I ever saw and complete fake. if team-ice truly did do this then they are all cocksucking noobs
No one said Team ICE had anything to do with the video. If you read the article it clearly states that the person who made the video has nothing to do with Team ICE.
99% of me is pretty much certain it’s a fake. It’s hard to tell because of the extremely poor quality of the video. There is still 1% of me hoping something can come out of it, though.
please do something with this mf PS3 because the games are to expansive :(((
Tough shit, get a fucking job
he could be a student. and they are really to expensive. i don’t know how much you pay for it, but her they cost 60-75 euros.
probably shouldn’t be buying the system then
hellas adrian ..props guy ..too fukn expensive ..i bought one and never played my own type games cause cant fucken buy them …bs.. sony is a hater**
you cant see that mutch this is a poor video he could be just opening up a picture that he made in photoshop
Kann niemand einen iso-loader proggen,
oda wie gehtn das überhaupt??ß
LOL find it out and release your own.
i tried loading really high resoultion images on my ps3 and it doesnt work. The PS3 doesn’t even recognize it exists
as i stated earlier, the ps3 has problems reading image files over 40 megs. i made a tiff file that was 38.5 megs (4500×2531). loaded it onto a memory card. it took about 9 seconds before the file would load up.
Has anyone actually run anything using these elf 2 self tools to prove that this actually works or does anything? Anyone?
so… wheres the hack, i only saw some noob change his wall paper.
There is no HACK! thats al FAKE and CRAP!!! just children post some shit more not.TEAM ICE IS SHIT and can nothing dont know why everybody crys about that shit
nothing to do with team ice…. try reading more than the headline sometime….
@ none:2008-02-08 13:14:05
he wrote in italian not spanish or portugese
i would also appreciate that everyone writes in english although i can read it. i’m also austrian and think that in a international forum its better to communicate and not always use translators to get the meaning
mean in english :-) lol, forgot it
*sigh* another BS “hack”.
where’s the good stuff?…
I’m not exactly sure on files near 30 or 40 megs… however I am converting some of my dads old slides into JPG format, and they are 12 to 15 megs a peice. When on the hard drive, the PS3 can rotate them in circles in real-time..no joke. It takes my computer 20-25 seconds to just rotate it to the side… and another 20 secs to rotate it again. Rotating the same picture on the PS3 takes less than 1/2 a second. Ever since I saw that…i am just in Awe of how powerful the PS3 actualy is… and to think…its a year old!
ma ancora con sto fake!!!!!fare i seri toglietelo!!!!
Ola! Now Give me some head. Muchos gratias…
COOL I GOT TWO BACKUP GAMES WORKING THANK YOU TEAM ICE SO MUCH KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP……FW 2.10
well u didnt coz its proven that this doesnt work… so u just as bad bullshitter as TEAM ICE!
it has been tagged useless, but dont say team ice is bs, cuz they’re better than u
team ice had nothing to do with the video
Thats BS . shut the fu<k. seriosly.
hey awesome they found a tiff exploit, thats about as usefull as a girlfriend with AIDS, whoop dee fuckign shit a tiff is no different then a gif
fuck your stupid.
all he did was make a extremely huge wallpaper lol
ok so video not from “TEAM ICE” but they “MADE” the program… that doesnt bloody work! what the point in this shit… we need CFW for PS3!!!
The Exploit works (1.94)
But it wont lead to Homebrew or something else.
The Hypervisor ;) he sucks…
It’s something, it could be helping for further infos about the Hypervisor and the FW…
keep dreming……………
ice?xbox360 ve li ricordate? ho loccato il loro sito sono sempre quei buffoni della xbox360
team ice ,sono sempre gli stessi,basta vedere nyl mondo hack,non li conosce nessuno,come non hanno mai rellato nulla da nessuna parte sono sempre gli stessi americani fumati
WORKS ON 1.50 FW ONLY SORRY………
DOESNT WORK AT ALL! its all bullshit!
wie jetzt , geht das wirklich ned???????
:(
:(
this hack is FAKE
woher wießt ihr das???
damn fake crack hack what ever
wait and drink a beer;)
this wait it getting me p!ss0ff
will doch nur nen iso-loader…:(
well once again information that can help no1..
this info gives people somthin to build on, so it does help
xbox 360 emulator for ps3 sounds to good to be true? ITS NOT!!!! in july dark alex and jerk nig (sony programmer (real name disclosed due to sony ninja that might kill him, no im joking about that but dead serious about the rest)finally teams with legendary dark alex)are going to revolutionize the gaming industry. Xbox system will not sale anymore when you can do it all from your ps3. i hate bullshit news, oh and do i have news for you this isnt fake!, for sure dark alex reffers to the sony programmer as jn. this pair recently teamed together so jn hasnt been helping with all dark alex’s psp cfw all the credit goes to dark alex for the psp. JN specializes in the ps3 system core he knows it like the back of his hand. Wow is all i have to sayi really hope sony wont put a hit out for them this is some serious shit!!!
this sounds amazing but without calling you a liar i think this is far fetcht reason being you would have to be able to control every aspect of the ps3 for this to work and since they cant get past the hypervisor, think about it. maybe some day ,like when the ps4 comes out lol
Woot Woot 100th comment :D
yeeehhh 102th comment
who cant get past hypervisor?, dax or jn?, how do you know they havent already done that this amazing team can do all think about it, do you know that dax work with microsoft for a little while? they know everything they are brilliant
didnt mean to pee you off but all i meant to say was that it will take time not that they couldnt have a look a what i writ b4
ancora co sto fake…….siete scarsissimi!!!!!almeno toglietelo …….psxhaksmunnizza!!!!
that vid sucked ass i couldnt see n e thing
dont understand u shifty, it will be out for sure in july mark my words
wer did u get this info from?
link plez
lol more bullshit from mark! no one person knows of any of DAX work or anyone else for that matter! if u know which u dont then the world will know! stop the bullshit your ruinin the homebrew developer scene! no1 wants to release stuff if every1 bullshittin all time!
damn right
no, he’s not right. if you’re talking about software, then what the fuck do you think reverse engineering is? anybody could have anybody’s work. what about team Wild*Card? they reversed DAX’s stuff.
and how the hell do you think DAX got where he is in the first place? he reversed Sony’s code.
and just because one person has it, doesnt mean everyone will. wildcrad’s stuff was their own, it only got hacked. a chance occurance
f0ck me
?
ok guys then just wait,i think like you i dont want to hear bullshit, no link thats y the world doesnt know i just wanted the few ps3-hacks fans to know just remember u heard it from me a good friend of jn’s
i cant wait for a hack to cum out for the ps3 but ther is no point putin pressure on people to release sumthin, let them take ther time and make sure it works properly
why the fuck you 2 are posting in Italian??!! It’s an english board you assholes!
Siete due teste di cazzo! Questo e’ un sito in inglese, deficenti! Nesunno capisce le vostre cazzate!!
Hey du arsch nix gegen italiener ok…
fuck you you spaghetti-eating shitface speak fucking englisch
dann lerne doch deutsch depp xD
Well it was nearly a matter of time to finally exploit the system and run unsigned code. The real question is, who wants to host the Blu-Ray discs? Also, please remember on-line play might be a little difficult down the line. Sony LOVES to force those updates before even getting into the PSN. Good luck, it’ll be a lot of hard work to even get anywhere.
NEW TOOLS RELEASED LETS GET CRACKING
http://ps3.qj.net/Team-ICE-releases-PS3-Pack-v1-2-hack-exploit-collection/pg/49/aid/114078
my arrow of sarcasm may not have found it’s mark
there will be no iso loading in the next year
believe
k
I wish it were just that easy, bud…
I want to have faith, but it’s nearly impossible.
k bud
me too
damn, thats how the psp started and look at it now. more homebrew than anysystem out there!
Keep on hacking!!!
time goes by fast
Give my hope and my 30 seconds back T.T
PS3 sucks! XBOX360 FTW!
so does your mom
arrrgh
My opinion is that making homebrew for the PS3 wont be as easy as the PSP or any other system.If game developers, that have the “help” of SONY, say that making games for the PS3 is hard, making homebrew will be VERY hard. But anyway, I hope someday they hack the PS3 and make some good homebrew for it, like the PSP.
id rather see the emulation properties on the ps3, id love to see my n64 roms and seag roms running from the xmb with its on little section.
altho idd like to see running back ups first
come on shitheads! – get some fuckin hax done.
shut the fuck up or do it your self
lol
Not to be smart but this site is missing out like the
DUALSHOCK 3 will be coming out in April 15 Price at $54.99 well with Tax $58.?? someting like that And You READ THIS the
80gb PS3 is not dead It will be a new boundle THE MGS4 AND NOT ONLY THAT IT WILL COME WITH THE NEW DUALSHOCK3 PRICE AT $499 BUT then and agen it say 80gb but would it have THE BC with PS2 game? Would it that new white PS3 how knows I keep looking Man this site is
a little old on the news
dual shock 3 is not a hack by the way and its the admins choice, chances are they have it up here soon any way
go read the news section and stop complaining when theres no “news” in the hacking section
KEEP AT IT! HACK THE SHIT OUTTA THE SHINY BLACK SHIT.It will come.
has anyone thought to take the hard drive out of the ps3 and plug it into a computer and see whats on it? just a thought.
pc’s cant read the ps3 partition
They probably haven’t thought of that. I think you’d make a good hacker.
Haha once i get my hands on a ps3 i think i will do that.even if what $hifty said and its an unreadable partition, atleast i tried.plus i like to pull things apart so it will be a fun process at the same time =D
it been tried mate and didnt work, maybe you will have better luk
so pretty much. this site has gone to shit since this update.
cmon someone at least fake a hack so sony will give us our in-game xmb faster with obviously a new frimware.
i think the problem is, mostly 90% or more of the traffic on these hack sites is all people who know nothing about anything and are just waiting for someone else to do it for them so they can download the apps they need. unfortunately i’m in that category myself. As for the 5 or 10% of those inclined to understand and possess the abilities to hack modern gaming platforms, i think most of you are inclined to keeping your work to yourselves until an end result is reached, either to keep Sony out of the loop or in search of glory for being known as the person or team who discovered the hack. Its for this reason i believe, that the scene is progressing so slowly.
youre very rite, people bashin the site for not havin any hack not knowing that it takes time money ect and they give it away for free.
i just hate people like that, if you want rite now go make your own hack
