PS3 Open Source ToolChain Released

ooPo over at Github.com has released the open source version of the PS3 Tool chain. This basically allows you to make your own homebrew on the PS3 (conveniently released with the PSGroove v1.1 update).

Red_Orange_Juice5641d ago

how is this open source and stolen at the same time?

JBroken5641d ago

Smells delicious. All thats missing is fanboy rage and tears...lets see, oh yes, this ought to do it...ps2 games + homebrew + jailbreak + a calculator = WIN!
Now wait and let simmer

DigitalAnalog5641d ago

Just because they've exploited the system they assumed a PS2 emulator is "secretly" unlocked? BTW, updated I updated FW and I assumed the 90% of the PS3 users who are uninformed of the hack did so too.

On a whim.

-End statement

JBroken5641d ago

If you wanted the hack then you'd be very informed. Pirates may be immoral, but they aren't dumb.
Thanx for adding to my homebrew stew. Your tears won't go to waste

Krugsy5641d ago

I guess you don't have any idea on how many people chipped their 360's who could be considered by you as 'misinformed'. Not all adopters of piracy follow every detail on the development of hacking and piracy. I would be willing to bet many of the people who would have used the Jailbreak tools (in the next few months and even year), would now be unable because of updating the firmware.

Hypothetical example, I picked up a Ps3, turned it on, downloaded the firmware AND then realized later on that I could have hacked it. Or, i've got a ps3, downloaded the firmware, and later on when the jailbreak becomes even bigger news, its too late as i've already updated. Not all piraters follow hacking news as it breaks, many just follow the trend or whats popular and cheap.

Is that why they TRIED to inform people of the secret update? Keyword tried considering the fact that a good number of them complained AFTER updating around underground sites.

lokiroo4205641d ago

Dumbass still thinks ps2 emulation is hidden in the firmware. Those behind these hacks are asking for dev kits and ps3's because not only have theynot started on making a ps2 emulator, they dont even know where to start. Talk about being informed.

Def Warrant5641d ago

Man these hackers must be having nerd orgasms with every ps3 related hacking news that pops up. Well it only goes to show how much people fancy the ps3. The thing is a beast.

divideby05641d ago

what is LOL funny is that probably 90% of the commentors who are pro hacking DONT have the skillz, or ballz to do it....joke is on them

to those who do have the skill and ballz...kudos to them...
I aint pro hacking and homebrew, just con to those who comment big but have no nutz to actually try it..

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound3d ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom22d ago (Edited 2d ago )

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7514d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm2313d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7213d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2313d ago (Edited 13d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12517d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia17d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake17d ago
