Potential PS3 Homebrew Exploit Found

According to PS3Gen, PSP developer Placasoft recently found an exploit for the PS3 which works on firmwares 1.80-1.81. The information was discovered via a leak from some forums, and then disseminated without much knowledge of what the exploit is.

Imagine a PS3 homebrew in the future that would allow it to play 360 games?.......How crazy would that be.

Phantom_Lee6588d ago

Im sure some guy in China is trying to do that now..

weekapaugh6588d ago

The 360 games would look better on the PS3 and the discs wouldn't get scratched.

bootsielon6588d ago (Edited 6588d ago )

And the reverse would be impossible too. The architectures are so different that the games wouldn't work properly on neither platform. Furthermore, you need RAM, and processing time for emulation; especially a ton if you need to emulate these two beasts. So that would be impossible. Consider it debunked, before some retarded Xbots start bashing you.

Bubble for ya for that comment.

Looks like he was trying to get warhawk to work, but couldnt.

Maddens Raiders6588d ago

but what the He77 is the xploit? It looks like the wallpaper was changed due to the app, but what is it...some kind of emulator for other games burned copid or otherwise? I have no idea.

Anyway this is going to get super huge (PN3 modding) and I really hope it doesn't adversely affect everyone elses good ideas as far as UGC. As long as these things are kept in checdk everyone should get along fine. But once someone's money is infringed upon ~ Look out!

On that note Bill (above) I expect to see some nutjob running GeoW on the PS3 before Halloween '07. That will surely raise some brows and bring new meaning to "gaming 3.0." Welcome to the darkside.

Mycococo6588d ago

he shouldnt have advertized it before it works. now sony is going to find the exploit and fix it

Odion6588d ago

Madden Raider you do realize that GOEW won't work on PS3 because it was built around the 512 ram found in the 360. So unless someone is going to rewrite the entire thing i wouldn't get to excited about this.

Maddens Raiders6588d ago

I'm not excited. I was simply making a sarcastic statement regarding the determination of moddrs / hackers to impose their will on console manufacturers FTW! Please don't get your dander up so high mate. =]

The Outerhaven writes: Split/Second was the explosive arcade racing game that outshone Ridge Racer and Burnout. That is, until Disney shut it all down before a sequel could happen.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor7h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

MaximusPrime_6h ago

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

AuraAbjure3h ago

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils2d ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Bathyj1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

That's not true at all the OG Xbox had drive and they had hunger and they wanted to accomplish something. It was a great console.

they didn't quite reach their goals and they gave up prematurely because they couldn't win. It was halfway through the Xbox 360 when kinect released and that was when they lost their way and we're a rudderless ship ever since

Agent751d 20h ago

In all fairness, Xbox had some great games with online play, Xbox 360 even better. Xbox consoles started to die with the Xbox One. Ditch consoles for the PC and PS.

YourMommySpoils1d 12h ago

@Bathyj hard to compute ay. Xbox was never better than a PC and that's all they ever were. A demo box. Doesn't get more true than that.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning773d ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

Christopher2d ago

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde2d ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z2d ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

hennessey862d ago

That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

M3talDiamond6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

-Foxtrot5d ago

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

Inverno5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

GazCBG5d ago

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd
