so just games would be a result of java...no emulators...or anythig really cool using ps3's bluetooth,wifi,or anythin of that sort...

there is a new patch out,and it doesnt patch this....but i've read around about this patch and no one seems 2 find what its for...so im not updatin because this seems a little fishy O_o
maybe exploit found by sony?well..its not a mandatory update so i dont think so..and why is sony releasing so many updates THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

Yeah thats why it sucks... I hate having to update to play online. Good trick by Sony though. Thing is, they aren't patching anything because they're sure nothings coming out of the 'exploits', or they're patching it, but still letting allows loading, therefore we think they haven't patched it when in fact they have.

It goes like this:

- Small exploit found, like the Java thing. (Not exactly an exploit, but there might have been something which Sony missed)
- Exploit news spreads across internet
- Sony finds out and double checks for any exploits
- Sony patches anything found, but allows loading of 'exploit'
- Tester updates and claims that exploit still unpatched (since it loads)
- Everyone else updates because they fall in the trap as well
- Sony smiles

is there keyboard support in java? if so i cant wait for a nes emulator cause i jus made myself a usb nes controller using a keyboard.

Most of the crappy 1/2 assed games are done in Lua on the PSP.

With firmware 2.41+

    * Download the BD-J game (Blaster Bunny).
    * Unzip the file
    * Copy the contents to the root of a USB/Flash drive
    * Go to the device in the video menu and launch “AVCHD”
    * Go to BONUS and click GAME to launch Blaster Bunny

You guys REALLY need to check the home page every once in a while, this was covered on July 18, 2008

Yea, just as a question...if java games are supported, wouldn't java applications run? Someone should make one if they have spare time. (I would if I knew Java, but sadly I only know HTML and PHP)

Foreward->What BD-J can do:
-Simple DOM type high level socket stuff
-Get basic info on VM
-NO* file I/O outside some generic loaders
-Keyboard, Mouse, and Joystick I/O
-Blitting and buffering
-GUI

It's basically a stripped down embedded VM. I learned the entire instruction set in a few hours. The only thing I found interesting was a VM info function. It doesn't have any potential for malware, unless you consider something that consumes memory and throws a friendly PS3 error malware.

Not sure how you'd load binaries to emulate or whatever with no file I/O. I must of missed something.

EDIT: I think the PS3 BD-J has about the same privileges signed or unsigned. The local storage thing with BD-J seems to be the only file system you can use, but the only loader interfaces appear to be for media.
