Dark AleX Custom PS3 Firmware possible?

[Triv1um]

This thread title is so misleading.

Change it.

As unlikely as I believe it to be, I must say, if it were to happen, D_A would move past the stage of just being homebrew hero, champion of the PSP, I think he would be elevated to some manner of console God and be deemed worthy for worshippers, and possibly a harem of naked women dancing around him at all times. If he thinks it's even remotely possible, I'd be willing to donate some cash to his research fun

This thread is too misleading :|

Yes, it's possible. Will we ever see it though? Not likely - the PS3 firmware hasn't even been decrypted yet.

DA seems the most qualified to do a CFW for the PS3.
It will probably take the efforts of more than one person to find an exploit but who knows...
Obviously an exploit for the PS3 needs to be found.
A dump of the firmware is needed and not hard to get with an infectus chip.
That firmware needs to be decrypted.
Then flashed back to the PS3.
In all of that many secrets about the PS3 would uncovered in the process.
To date the PS3 is the most secure IP delivery system on the market.
Recently Sony has blocked RSX access in 2.10
This might be incentive for the truly skilled to start looking at the PS3.

I think that the PSP and/or Home could possibly help out with this problem. Using the PSP to connect with the PS3 and exchange information during a game may help find an exploit, especially when in-game XMB is avaliable to use. That and the loading of media from Home may work as well to identify an exploit.

I would absolutely love to see it happen though.

I just have to say, imagine every console emulated perfectly (except 360).

[HaXz]

I just want to let devs know id be willing to give 10,000$ to the dev that can make a custom firmware for the ps3 for the work involved. I honestly dont think anyone would put that amount of time and effort into development though.

It would be nice to see a CFW for the PS3 but I can't see DA on the PS3 Scene he is still on the PSP scene he should move on. But it would be nice if something comes up

Thanks $n!pR, F9zDark. I'll stick with YDL if it's the only one being supported by directly by Sony.

No, no, no, no.

Go with Ubuntu with the custom ps3 2.6.23 kernel.

WiFi support, bluetooth support for (SIXAXIS), Blu-ray support. Its really the way to go.
