Hack your PlayStation 3

Current ORP Bounty: $1,515.

Update: All right; ORP the Bounty Hunter here… Dashhacks will put $1,000 towards the bounty, and should you want ORP on the iPhone as much as the next guy (or girl to be politically correct), then feel free to donate using the PayPal button below. The first person to deliver a working ORP iPhone client takes home the whole she-bang — $1,000 + all donations.

Are you a developer? Do you have skills? What about an iPhone: you have one of those? If you answered yes to all 3 questions then boy, do we have something for [one of] you…

Dashhacks is putting out a bounty… Be the first to port Open Remote Play (ORP) to the iPhone, creating a fully functional touch-enabled ORP experience, and get paid $1,000 CAD. That’s 10 cold hard Canadian brown skins.

The heavy lifting is already done… Check my main man, Dashhacker; he’s got the key to success over at the Open Remote Play project page — code and all.

Bounty rules and stipulations:

1. Open Remote Play is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2; you must agree to that.
2. We’re paying $1,000 CAD via PayPal; sorry no cheques, money orders, or wire transfers.
3. Upon completion your final code will be committed to the ORP SVN repository.
4. You must email your final entry to orp@dashhacks.com.
5. After we test & confirm the first working client, we will announce the winner, which will effectively end the contest.
6. Feel free to email orp@dashhacks.com with any questions or concerns.

All right… You good? Good. Be the first — it’s success and nothin’ less.

I vaguely remember (so maybe I’m wrong) some PSP SFO editor or unpacker or something… Something that essentially paved the way for complete PSP hackage… Anyway, this isn’t the PSP obviously or else it’d be hacked by now… This is Hellcat, RichDevX, and SilverSpring’s PlayStation 3 System File Editor. And who knows — maybe it’ll get shit crackin’ too.

PS3 SFO Editor won’t serve the average Joe any real purpose, not yet anyway… But should these low-level dudes end up successful in their quest to hack the unhackable, then that’s a different story.
