Well Folks amazingly..or not.. It has finally been done! The Ps3 was cracked! After all the lawsuits and money spent in effort of Sony to prevent it's users of gaining access to the system, the hackers did in fact prevail.
So what is it? Well its a Firmware that is still in early stages that is used through a programmable Teensy USB Board, with the firmware users are given the ability to:
- Back-Up Blu Ray/DVD discs
- Run Back up Blu Ray Game discs
- Back Up The Game Discs to Hard Drive
- Run Hombrew Software
So yeah it's been a week since the news hit and Teensy Boards are far into backorder at this point so for most its a matter of waiting till a more user friendly option is released. As of This week Sony did manage to release a new firmware update to block the mod but the door is already open :)
So without getting to technicall on the mod it wasnt the Micro cell CPU that was hacked or the blu Ray drive for that matter it was Sony's software they were so proud of, It's only so long befor e they would find the unlocked door, and though Sony may have closed that the hack teams now know where to look to find the next in the meantime firmware 3.42 was released blocking the hack, so if you decide not to update or have a system fw prior you can still run unassigned code but lose access to the PSN. Free games vs. crappy online network...hmmm tough choice
