PS3 Remote Play Reverse-Engineered, Portable API Coming Soon

[gtxboyracer]

Prepare yourself for complete and utter devastation - presenting a Dashhacks exclusive, from our very own talented Dashhacker - PS3 Remote Play: successfully reverse engineered, authentication system broken, and a portable API on the way.

What does this mean? Well for starters you'll soon be accessing your PS3 from just about anywhere - your PC, your iPhone, your whatchamacallit, and whatever other Internet-enabled device.

Stay tuned, for real.


More PlayStation 3 News...

Finally!!!! ... Just dont get me hyped if this aint true ...

Is it only me or I'm the only one skeptical about this?! After so many hacks and iso loaders I just want to see it for real!

Even if this would be true... we could access the PS3 from any corner of the world from any device... Correct me if I'm wrong but I can already access my PC from any corner of the world and I never use that...

It would be fun tough to play LAIR or any REMOTE PLAY enabled game on your phone or PC.

P.S.: After letting some steam off, and thinking about it a remote play api could open the PS3 completely. Just let it be real this time... Still it sounds too advanced to be real... (An entire API released by a hacking group?!?!) maybe too good to be the real thing! Just my 2 cents!

Well, i'm just wondering if the "Full API" will contain the access to the Playstation Network. 'Cause if you try to connect to a PS3 that is turned off, you need to be work with the PSN and ask it to turn your PS3 on (At least, it's how i think it works). If that is the case, this can lead to two things. Sony blocks your PS3, because it's really easy to know if you'r connecting via a PSP or from a PC/iPhone/<whatever>. If they don't do that, good for us, but it won't let us do anything more it lets the PSP do so nothing like "crack" it or something.

One thing I would like to see, if this is really true, would be some kind of "Messenger" to the PSN friends. Sometimes i'm just not in the mood to turn the PS3 on just to see who is online....

this could be fun, ive always wanted a way to access my ps3 from my other systems, might be fun to stream stuff to my arcade machine.

It's pretty big, but not beyond the realm of possibility. We'd have to assume that Remote Play would be some kind of "remote framebuffer" kind of thing, like VNC or Remote Desktop. Those tend to be relatively simple, so I could see a smallish group being able to code up something like that.

On the other hand, Sony could presumably change the authentication scheme with a pair of firmware updates (one for the PS3, one for the PSP). This may be as short-lived as the BD-Java "hole". (Man, I still don't understand why they bothered to close that. With BD-J's limitations, it posed no more threat to Sony's game revenues than Linux on the PS3 does. Oh, well.)

This would be very cool if it is found to be true. Would be nice to be able to get at my ps3 from a pc.

Thanks - i found it and submitted it - but yeah it can't be confirmed as true until proof/the API is available.
