I just want it up do a system update in the background so I don't have to wait 30 minutes every time I want to play a freaking game!

i want to see a home security app using the PSeye and either the PSP or an iphone as a remote viewing device

First thing I see being written and signed would be a real media center interface for PS3 working with PS3 Media Server..
I might even consider writing it myself.

in a nutshell:
" First, Linux is a valid reason for hacking the PS3 and nobody can prove if that is their true motive or not, you can only speculate.
AsbestOS has an advantage over the built-in OtherOS feature by Sony, because AsbestOS will most likely have more control over the PS3 hardware and have better performance than the limited OtherOS feature.
So really, AsbestOS could perform much better than Sony’s OtherOS ever did, because AsbestOS won’t cut you off from the RSX (Graphic Chip) and try to keep you in a sandbox for security reasons, which has the side-effect of reduced performance.
Next, for those of you who don’t understand yet, being able to sign our own files with Sony’s encryption will allow us to create our own software/homebrew and load it without even needing to jailbreak the PS3, because it will look like a legit piece of software from Sony.
Imagine being able to run all the Homebrew apps you run now, but being able to run them on an official v3.55+ firmware without even needing to hack the system. They just need to be updated with Sony’s keys so that the PS3 will accept them without needing to be hacked.
Basically we will have the ability to create our own custom updates that will work on a normal PS3 to update it directly from an official/normal firmware to a custom one without needing any modchips or dongles to do it, because the PS3 will accept the update that is signed using sony’s keys (which we now have).
Give it a few minutes for that to sink into your brain. You could probably program the PS3 to make you some toast bread using this new exploit.
So just sit back, enjoy the ride, and wait for the exploit work to be released and used to make magic stuff for us all to use."
- so let me get this straight, my ps3 will now be able to make me toast!? omg sweet.prophet

@ uan
it was possible to turn a ps3 into a pc a long time ago wasnt it?
i nearly bought one for that purpose, seemed like a more cost effective choice hardware wise at the time.- yes, sony dumped linux support with the release of the ps3slim, like 1 year ago, and they dumped it for all ps3 models.uan
- before that hackers didn't care about hacking the thing. because otherOs (linux on ps3) was enabled by default.uan
- it wasn't the same thingscarabin
- but yeah, it used to have linux supportscarabin
- yes, not the same thing, hackers searched now and found out about that random number bug. now the door is open.uan
- irony is sony dumped linux support for security reasons.uan

@scara
is your iphone (i think you have one), jailbroken?Because what you're describing sounds a lot like 'Cydia'. Its basically an application that allows you to install all sorts of software on your iphone, no need for a computer, or itunes.
sounds like a similar deal, obviously cydia wasnt the first to do it.
ps whats XMB stand for? :P
(is it like the master boot?)- xenomorph magic bananaprophet
- cross media bar, which is what they call the user interfacescarabin
- and yeah, i've jailbroken my iphone beforescarabin
- Ah cool. So you know
cydia.

they found out how to boot into linux on any ps3 without any dongles. just jailbraking it.
quote: "our goal is to have linux running on all existing PS3 consoles, whatever their firmware versions."
they managed to do that by hacking through different levels of security, their most notable finding is that the random-number used by sony to generate signing keys is not very random:it took them about the same amount of time as for an xbox or other consoles if you count from the moment on, when sony dropped the linux support.

people are talking about completely new operating systems (which probably won't even be necessary) and havign a homebrew app store in the XMB where you can download shit from

So, does this hack removes the suck out of the PS3?
- what exactly was the suck?scarabin
- if it was good security, then yesscarabin
- the suck of just a few good gamesernexbcn
- the suck of shitty onlineernexbcn
- the suck of damn long installations of gamesernexbcn
- um, none of those have been an issue in the last oh, five yearsscarabin
- yeah right, are you sure you have a PS3? perhaps you are confusing a 360 with iternexbcn
- i have three of themscarabin
- don't get meta butthurt, broscarabin
- hahaha, most of that isn't even the PS3 or Sony's faultmonospaced

Good times! Took a while though.
Remember how fast the xbox hack came out.
Could have your own custom dashboard on it and run games from HDD. Was ace.- yeah, MS clearly didn't have their security figured outscarabin

Surprised it took this long, but the door is open now for people to do whatever they want with the PS3 and Sony cant do anything about it. Download PS3 games, run homebrew, play PS2 games, etc..

Hacking will never die, but you will
