even when they succeed....they fail.

"The custom firmware does seem to have a side effect or two, though, with a post over on NeoGAF claiming that the user’s Trophies have gone and would not reappear, the save data has gone, along with the data utilities - ”Pretty much everything under the ‘Game’ category”."

Well shit. So much for that.

Still, it's pretty exciting! Give it a year and we'll have our own dynamic themes and whatnot!

I imagine it won't be long before rogue firmwares start springing up that do worse things than erasing saved games.

oh god another thread about that PS3 has been hacked,and this article is stupid,clearly the guy who wrote it doesn't know anything or better to say the true facts,this custom firmware it was made like a test to show the world that it works,from the beginning when he did the firmware he didn't bother to do it for playing games,so he just release the tools for others do to what they want now that is possible to do it on any firmware and future updates,so its just a matter of time when someone will make a custom firmware that will play everything and Sony can't do shit about this,they can't control it anymore,in the meantime a little game called GT5 has been hacked with all the anti-piracy security that it had,these morons who write these articles should stop already,the PS3 is hacked for good and there is nothing you can do

FAKE NEWS

Don't hack. Pay for your games and support the industry.

i guess now is the time to apply the great sony logo!PS3 it only does everything!!

Time to sent my 60gb ps3 to warranty due to the extrem fan noise!SONY sent me a refurbed PS3 that makes more noise than my vacumcleaner!

Hackers should leave the PS3 alone. Use your PC if you need Linux. It will just inevitably allow piracy in the long run.

I sense a few bricked consoles coming on

I you can sign any code to run on your ps3 how hard would it be for me to write a logic bomb into a game and post it on a torrent?

I hope all Ps3 get bricked when Hacked. Buy your games, support the industry.

not saying pirating is good cause it is not but just imagine playing zelda in real hd and polished. you know nintendo would never go for this.

That's why I don't hack because hacking ALLWAYS has it's COMPLICATIONS...

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
