PS3 Developer JaicraB on Special Execution Mode WIP

[Mantagtj]

Today Spanish PS3 developer JaicraB has posted an update on his blog (linked above) of what appears to be a PS3 special execution mode WIP.

With it, he may be able to get the PS3 into service mode (possibly for downgrading and other delightful things) so let us hail him and hope there is more to come for us all.

For those who missed it, a few months back RichDevX also noted some progress in this area using a PSGroove Payload for PS3 Service Mode.

Some pictures are posted below, and to quote roughly translated:

"Look at this...., It seems not only egocentrics know how to do things and then sell their products.

A gift for DemonHades, Happy birthday to you !"

And this means what? a step closer to run games on 3.50 or isn't nobody working on it anymore.

[Mantagtj]

In this mode, it is possible to run specific software, including one allowing the downgrade (the opposite of update, ie back to a previous firmware). In this mode, it is possible to run specific software. A downgrade opportunity to go 3.15 for the benefit of new and more otheros hack with PSGroove. And a step closer to CFW...

think of what we can do with somthing like this... downgrading, downgrade, cfw, repair for download loop who knows..

I think his blog should be front page news. This is definitely huge!

Yep, that is what this section is for... incoming news, so it will definitely be moved to the front page soon but people can discuss it here in the meantime.

The issue at the moment is Mantagtj (although GREAT he shared it- Thanks! ) didn't include many of the requirements in reporting the news so I will need to re-write his post with a copy of all the text and any files from JaicraB's blog and the link to the article there.

Before I do that I have to do the regular (non-homebrew) news though so it will be a few hours still. If this post was "ready to go" right now I could just move it to the Site News but it is incomplete at the moment.

Anyway, carry on with the discussion guys!
