[PS3 News]

Update #3: The GODS @ Paradox have now released NCAA_College_Hoops_2K7_USA_PS3-PARADOX, which includes the following nice info for PS3 DEVs in the NFO File as follows:

|sPECIAL nOTE: |
| |
|Some bad news and good news You euro guys should all be |
|pretty lucky and very lucky! Trust me! Since Euro ps3's |
|ship with 1.50 firmware. The bad news is the big bug is fixed |
|in firmware 1.54 :-( But remember legends dont die, they just |
|need time to sort some stuff out What a talented guy |
|called Dark_Alex did with a psp can be done with a ps3 too! The |
|big question to all right now is, where do we need to look? |
|Isn't it? We suggest why not have a look in multiple SPEs? Since |
|they use shared memory for tasks! couldnt there be a bug in that |
|part? and what about LS size limitation? Enough for now! |

Update #2: shame13 reported in the ongoing PS3 Firmware v1.60 is out now! Forum thread that PS3 Firmware v1.60 (USA) Update is now available for download! A complete official changelog is available HERE courtesy of Radiskull, however, we don't recommend updating to it at this time as it likely contains more security updates.

Also, hacked2123 has shared PS3 LibMPEG Exploit Proof-of-Concept r1 now in the ongoing LibMPEG on XMB Crash! Possible Exploit!?! Forum thread, which includes the following changes:

Update:

Here is the new file, I reproduced the result with another file and worked on cleaning it up till I knew where things were going wrong. I hope this is useful.

And included is the image of the crucial points. The first is the mixing point between header and footer. The second is the very last byte before the the crash will not occur.

Update: Courtesy of hacked2123, here is the PS3 LibMPEG Exploit Proof-of-Concept!! Please share your feedback in the official LibMPEG on XMB Crash! Possible Exploit!?! Forum thread... and more to come VERY soon!

While we're all awaiting the next release (and hints) from the GODS, some other progress on getting unsigned code to run on the PS3 may have also been found today!

Those idling in iRC EFNet #PS3News already caught word of it, and for those who haven't just yet hacked2123 has sent an MPEG file to several users for testing. We gave this a try on a v1.10 PS3, a v1.11 PS3, and a v1.31 PS3 console- thus far it only appears to be confirmed working with v1.10 and v1.11 Firmware.

Specific details will be posted in our PlayStation 3 Chat Forum soon by hacked2123 himself along with the relevant file for other DEVs to examine. The goal here is obviously to sort how to inject code using this method, which will (when accomplished) lead to PS3 homebrew, iSO Loaders, and everything else!

Also, Vilvic Media Center v1.0.5 BETA For PS3 and PS3 Video 9 v2.13 is now available, which includes the following changes and updates:

2.13 Changelog:

Fixed: Short Duration Times in PS3 Profiles
Added: QuickTime HD Input Profile
Added: Sort profile names in combo boxes
Fixed: Creating PS3 Video Ouput Directories

Stay tuned for updates here throughout the night guys!
