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_Juice5751d ago

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

JBroken5751d 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

DigitalAnalog5751d 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

JBroken5751d 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

Krugsy5751d 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.

"If you wanted the hack then you'd be very informed. Pirates may be immoral, but they aren't dumb.

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.

lokiroo4205751d 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 Warrant5751d 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.

divideby05751d 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..

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle39d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde46d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy47d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga48d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199247d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga47d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman47d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box48d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion47d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7248d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7547d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit47d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14948d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7748d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
