PS3Hax member silenoz has found a way to launch a simple java game on the PS3 gameOS, with the BD-J (BluRay Disc Java) functionality. The game he launched has BD-J (Bluray Disc Java) functionality (BD-J allows bonus content on Blu-ray Disc titles to be far more sophisticated than bonus content provided by standard DVD, including network access, picture-in-picture and access to local storage.)

Tutorial:


Download the BD-J game (Blaster Bunny).
Un-Zip file
Copy it to the root of a USB/Flash drive
Go to the device in the video menu and launch "AVCHD"
Go to BONUS and click GAME to launch Blaster Bunny.

It has been confirmed that this method has been working on all PS3's regardless of firmware and region (yes even 2.41).

There is a possibility that this could lead to a potential exploit, we will keep you updated (Has user land access + full java running).

Cool, but I dunno how much of a chance it has of getting anything more than java games working.

So is there any potential for a JAVA-based hack? Good work though?

EDIT: ok, question got answered before I posted.

BTW, you have to rename the folder AVCHD.

While i doubt an exploit, surely Java emulators could be ported

Right! thats what ima do, when the next update comes wait and read to see if this was blocked, sign in with a proxy, not sure if it still works on 2.41?

I personally couldn't careless about finding an exploit on the PS3 and will be quite happy to update when the next update is released.

This works with a Memory Stick as well. Finally a use for the 32MB stick that came with the PSP. As mentioned previously, create a folder called AVCHD in the root of the Memory Stick and put the two folders "BDMV" and "CERTIFICATE" in there. Or rename the "AVCHD_PS3HAXdotNET" folder to AVCHD and copy that folder to the root of the MemStick.

Although I have to say this "game" sucks.

I tried several times to get this game working and it never worked. The PS3 would not find the files on the flash drive. I then tried the NES emulator again to be sure everything was still working and it loaded right up. So I know I am doing everything right. And I also changed the folder name to AVCHD as stated above.
