One word:
Woot!
This is probably the best thing for hackers that’s happened on the PS3 since it was announced Linux would be installable out of the box!
(And no, I didn’t like that crap Java homebrew either).
there was another hacker that i really admire…something alex,dark alex i think right?…what ever happend to him?, even read a article about him,think it was on maxim,don’t remmember….anyone know?
Its Dark Alex (hehe not me) but anyway Dark Alex (DAX) hacked the psp and there are alot of diffrent things goin on such as he only wants to work on the psp, hes been paid off by sony, hes busy hacking the psp-3000, and/or he is still working on it?
dark alex now works for Sony yes unfortunately not even him could resist the buy out offer!
Dark Alex is an Spanish guy. He actualy have this web,
dark-alex.org
and sony will just patch it immediately
and this lets you do what? know that your ps3 is wasting electricity when your out the house.. wooo – BORING
Well, you could message friends using PSN, see what games they are playing, use the PS Store, play PS1 games, and edit your profile on the go… I am guessing you are one of those “green” eco-freaks who drives a hybrid?
and sniff his own farts
PMSL! thats funny
What you’ve never smelled your own fart? I live in San Fransisco and we all drive Hybrids and we like to think were a little ahead on the curve than everyone else.
Our kids do X to cope with us smelling our own farts from wine glasses.
Smug Alert
Watch out for the smug storms. Lmao such a pukka episode lol.
I see it as a waste of energy as well, but i am no eco-freak… I just pay my own bills and find it to be a waste of money.
When you leave your parents basement you may understand.
I see YOU as a waste of energy as well.
now,now….no one is a waste of energy….just waste of good organs for the infected people who needs a heart transplant and stuff like that….
I see.
And what about using you computer to post a stupid rant like that.
Doesn’t seem very economic to me.
i think you’re a stupid
I think you’re a stupid?
Before calling someone stupid, make a grammatically correct sentence. Stupid.
i’ve thingking you a are a also person stupid.
was my grammar was now corrected? stupid gay!
No. Go read a dictionary stupid tard…
u answered no so that means u understood. stupid understands stupid. stupid
Ouch… Arguments over grammar? tsk tsk..
lol… lots of stupid people this day. tsk tsk tsk…
is this grammar now correct? lol…
You guys are mad because, you suck at every game that come’s out on the PS3, So about your mom, I did her last night. Peace
nigga pleez.
yeah cause it uses so much more energy then a computer which only cost a avg of 26 dollars a year running it 24/7
So basically, i was right in the first place. This is a pointless way of knowing that you are wasting energy.
And in response to Damon, no I’m not an ‘eco-freak’, there is a difference from being and eco-freak and someone who doesn’t waste electricity. As jondoe aptly pointed out, maybe when you pay your own bills you will know what I mean.
…and stream your videos or music, you could even turn off your ps3 when you are done. then turn it back on and leave it curing cancer (folding, good waste of energy)
That made me think about the Comedy Network: “Energy well wasted!”
Although I do agree, it would be useful. Once I finally get around to downloading folding@home lol.
The Ps3 hackers are here to make your experience and entertainment with you’re Ps3 – EXCITING
It’s “your”. You’re = You are.
I figured it would let you listen/watch your videos and music from your iphone / mobile phone….
Anyone else think this?
I’m wondering if this will unlock any of the features blocked on the PSP. All depends which side that is managed from.
Can’t wait to mess with this. Nice job.
and sony is tuned to patch it the very next day. Hack the damn console!!
well to patch it they would need to update bolth the ps3 and the ps3 firmware
this has started nothing
so who does the credit go to? or do they wish to remain anonymous?
I think his name is DashHacker. LoL.
makes sense. i haven’t heard of them tho, guess they dont hang around the forums or its there alias
im keen to hear what this can do. so far i gotta agree sounds rather boring. who cares about accessing your ps3 when your mobile..waste of power agreed!
Well, you can already do it from your PSP, but this will allow you to doit from almost anthing with internet. Using my PS3 on my iPhone sounds pretty damn cool to me. Also, could this lead to other things? Possibly. Maybe RemotePlay isn’t just video streaming, maybe there’s other stuff that can be accessed but was blocked out by the PSP, as Nicko01 said. There could be other things besides just not being able to use PS3 games, change some settings, ect. Just my theory, though.
And it might be a step in the direction to riped games on the HDD from you PC. Like you do on the first XBOX
;)
I doubt that.
I seriously doubt that.
What this might help is to make easier to get a hold of locked psp features.
Remote play is just the same as turning your controler and TV on a PSP.
Its the same as pluging a xbox controller on a ps3, and plug it on a random lcd.
There won’t be any breach to hack the ps3 from there.
Hi! i think that hacking ps3 is going to take some time maybe when ps4 comes out…….How long has it been now 2-3 years.I respect all hackers but i think ps3 is not going to bee hackt ever….
Anything can be hacked. The problem with the PS3 is that not many people are really working on it.
This is actually far from the problem, there are plenty of people giving their attention to hacking the PS3.
The problem is that Sony’s protection is far greater on the PS3 than it was on the PSP, not to mention the PS3 wasn’t launched with gaping security flaws.
In order to hack the PS3, an exploit needs to be found that will either allow unsigned code to be executed, or allow kernel mode access so that a modified version of the PS3 firmware that allows unsigned code to be executed can be installed to the flash/HDD.
in plain English, ps3 will be hacked but not in this near future.
Not necessarily. Not to dash hopes here, but there is a rather large possibility that the PS3 will never wind up hacked.
I would be looking at the PS3 more on hardware level. Usually, when hacking something, you think entirely of using software, but in this situation, we can look at everything down to the IC’s and small microcontrollers. If I was hacking the PS3, that’s where I would go first, and attempt to get some code to disassemble.
I’m not much of a professional though, just a 16 year old noob electrical engineer and programmer. But my thoughts and ideas can be considered…
EPIC
How soon is soon?
Hard to give an exact date of course, but I can say that progress is moving very quickly. Hammered out the API framework today. Now I’m working on doing the audio/video decoding in a portable way.
I’m confident we’ll have a beta ready for testing before the end of May. I’ll post any progress updates here along the way…
I can help with some testing, if you need.
Email is (my username)@comcast.net.
I’m certainly looking forward to where this is going. Good work, and good luck Dashhacker. :)
Many thanks Dashhacker, we want the ps3 hacked no matter what. It has to be a way.
i just hope hacking the ps3 wont ruin its online community
What, other than the fact that people will have the screen name:
Ihaz_Ins4t1a113d_____C uz1tom_f17mw47ez_T4arfor_I_IZ_1337H4X@R!!!!!!!!!!2!!!!1!11

I rember somone got a ps3 hacked on the 20 gig model
Sounds cool, but i wish they Reverse Engineered the thing in Resistance: Retribution that lets you play with the DS3 controller, so we could use DS3 on any psp game.
Using the DS3 on a PSP is not reverse engineering. It can be done with a small mcu, a few hardware mods, and a bit of programming.
Or you could just use entirely hardware mods, but I would at least attempt to use software.
I like using remote play to my psp and hook my psp to my pc monitor via remote joy lite and so i can control everything but games and the playstation home on my psp and it all comes up on my pc screen.
So this is what life has become.. Tisk Tisk
I know it isn’t much at the moment but if this was made into another featue it would piss the 360 fanboys off a lill.
very intresting maybe we’ll get to somewhere.
you know if there was some tutorials on what to know to hack a ps3 what type of language and programs you need or what to do will encourage people to start trying to hack a ps3 or atleast help out.
i would really like to learn but unfortunately none of my searches returned with a result
Unfortunately it’s not just as simple as knowing programming languages, and no tutorials exist because it’s not an exact science yet like hacking the PSP is. There are no solid hacks for the PS3, so there’s no way to write a tutorial.
In order to have a hope of hacking the thing, you’d need to know about programming languages, encryption schemes, processing architectures, and all that jazz.
And once you know all that, you also need a way to actually apply your hacks to a system, and, without hardware mods, that requires some sort of exploit in a game or firmware that allows specific access to the flash and inaccessible areas of the harddrive.
This is yet another red herring!
Now i can access youtube on my psp via ps3 anywhere
dashhacker wins this round
You mean anywhere….like a computer ??
wtf ?
Anything that can access your ps3 can probably access youtube directly.
The PS3 won’t be fully hacked for an estimated 3 – 5 more years. There’s not enough people trying to hack it and not enough people trying to learn how. Hacking is practically at a standstill for the PS3 with things like the Cell processor, the Hypervisor, and other security measures in place, it’s just insanely difficult to do. Get enough people to learn how to program and deprogram with the Cell’s programming structure and get someone to break through the Hypervisor, and the system will be officially hacked.
I didn’t think there was any security. I though they just interfaced with the protocol.
remote play is rubbish so who cares
agreed
i care about it so fuck you, you fucking cunt
pff man up you pussy
you fairy
Any advancements in the homebrew scene is notable – it just may not be useful. This may lead to something else being decrypted or a homebrew version of PlayTV for the US (since its only available overseas).
I think there’s too many whiny teeny-bopper bitches on this site. There should be news posted > users comments or reviews of same. Look at the PSPChess post. People are saying it needs some work due to some chess rules not being followed. This gets back to the dev and the game gets better.
Can i play iso’s? = NO. (ok not that bad)
Homebrew? = NO
===
NFO
WHO FUCKING CARES!!!!!!! WE KEEP BRINGING USELESS SHIT THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT!!! NO HOME b/ F U SON Y
SHIT PATHETIC PS3 SCENE
Of course we want to play the damn iso s, but is not easy, so we should respect this little hack by then. Remember ps2??? The first 2 years it only run cd rip backup….and after 5 years, it was a good and stable modchip, not clones.
So we will be able to play PS1 games, using PS3, on any computer that is connected to the PS3? That is a cool thing.
But, I wonder will it be able to do the same with PS3 and PS2 games. You see, my monitor does not have a VGA input, so I can’t connect my PS3 to it. Will I be able to play my PS3 games remotely too (on my PC monitor), or will I just be limited to PS1 games (the original PSP function)?
when is this going to be active. its been like this for a long tym
I think that with every little exploration of new hacks can lead into something else, so lets respect the work, even if it is not such a big surprise like this one. All of you need to stop waiting for the big “iso” files to be finally played. It wont be soon untill ps3 will be hacked. So go out there and get a blockbuster membership for now or something.
Here at Sony we have many programmers patching security flaws and browsing forums just like this, to find the hacking networks next move. Your attempts to hack the PS3 is becoming senseless.
hahahahahaha.. i doubt someone from sony would post that, and if they did, PHUCK YOU SONY!! TELL SOMEONE WHO CARES!!!!
none the less, some progress is good progress, right? so unless you tards who dont care can come up with something better, dont say shit… as well same goes for you too… if you dont like it, go tell you’re mother or something, she may give a shit but other than that, no one else does
Don’t ask questions if you don’t want a response, understand?
I disagree with you, this progress is useless progress.
By the way you wrote that post, I can tell instantly that you are a kid, or a very illiterate adult (neither of which warrants your opinion valid).
You = epical fail @ posting
Alright, I’m not asking questions or stating opinions (like you) so do everyone a favor, and shoot yourself. You dont have facts, then dont state opinions.
I’m illiterate? Here I’ll help you out a little bit. “By the way (WHEN) you wrote that post” blah blah etc etc. WHEN you grow a set and realize you can’t do any better, don’t post at all. Just shoot yourself.
Actions speaks louder then words. Do you honestly think your opinion counts? No, which makes you’re post pointless. If you can do better, then do it, which you evedentally can’t which makes you an “epical fail” at life period. Or a fucking idiot, one of the two.
None the less, it just goes to show people that are opinionated like you don’t have a right to say anything.
So do us all a favor. And shoot yourself.
shut up little girl
I would if i was a bitch. (like you) Can anyone else read that? It just says ruff ruff on my 50′ tv like WTF?? :S however I don’t think you’re mother wouldn’t like that very much she loves it when I tell her how much of a disapointment you are.
Anyways I’m done dealing with these retarded people. If I would have known better I would say I was dealing with people from a loony bin.
Some progress is good progress.. Don’t like it tell someone who gives a shit about how you feel. Other then that keep up the work to all the people that deserve it! Don’t pay any attention to these retards who says it sucks while they can’t do any better.. Except swallow.
You fuckers have nothing.. But you don’t have nothing on me
Peace the fuck out to all the flaming bitches!
Everyone else, peace and god bless.
I’ve stayed tune and hear fucking shit about it..
A small update on how you’re failing please.
This time I’m going to sum it all up. If you can’t do any better, then shoot yourself.
btw, those who this isn’t useful, today i was eating in my dining room where we have no T.V, but a computer, i have playTV and the champs league was on, watching that on my PC via remote play would be EXTREMELY useful, kthxbai
why dont you just go and dine in front of the tv..
Someone should be targeting the replicating the blu-ray discs so that they are accepted by the system, rather then worry about hacking the machine.
Without the PS3 able to take copied games then it will never be a success.
Has Sony reduced its game price to say 1/4 tof the other’s due to people being forced to buy? No, they are stillt he same price as XBOX360, so sale numbers will never make PS3 a cheap machine. You are stuck with a disaster that you have to buy every game. It’s like an expensive computer that has no functionality bar one or two games and playing locked movies.
Sony==burnt.
