90w ago - Earlier today we reported on the PS3 Debug / Test Firmware 3.70 update being leaked, and now the entire PS3 3.40 SDK has been leaked by PlayStation 3 scene group Duplex.

This news comes a few weeks after the recent Sony PS3 SDK GCC Cell OS LV2 Toolchain Sources leak, and for those following... previously the PS3 SDK 3.41 Toolchain & RAF Compiler, a Differences Comparison, and the PS3 SDK 1.92 was leaked alongside a guide on how to set it up.

According to the PS3 NFO, the official release name is PS3.Full.3.40.SDK.PS3-DUPLEX...

93w ago - Today JohnAaron has leaked the Sony PS3 SDK GCC Cell OS LV2 Toolchain sources on IRC, which PlayStation 3 developers can use to aid in the ongoing creation of an open-source PS3 Software Development Kit.

To quote: Previously, coders could not make their own versions of GCC with the PS3 SDK. However, that setback no longer stands in the way with the release of these files.

In addition, dev's can now port later versions of GCC to the SDK, as well as make their own toolchain. Once again, it's stressed that if you're not a developer this won't be of any use to you, but this will come in handy for developers.

[01:35] [JohnAaron] anybody into GCC?
[01:36] [JohnAaron] cause I just found something interesting

101w ago - Over the last few days several new PS3 Debug / Test Firmware updates have been leaked outside of Sony Dev and have surfaced publicly courtesy of Cairobeta and ConsoleDev, however, no new SDK files have yet since the previous PS3 3.41 SDK file leak.

The leaked PlayStation 3 files include PS3 Debug Firmware v3.60 Update, PS3 Debug Firmware v3.56 Update, PS3 Debug Firmware v3.55 Update and PS3 Debug Firmware v3.50 Update.

It's important to note that these PS3 Debug / TEST updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so it is intended for examination and comparison purposes only unless you own a Dev unit.

For those curious, running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)

137w ago - Just under a month ago the PS3 SDK 1.92 was leaked, and this weekend the PS3 SDK 3.41 Toolchain and RAF Compiler alongside tools to create Dynamic PS3 Themes has been leaked via DemonHades (linked above) and FWCellInput Fix for SDK3.41 is available below from NZHawk.

It began with reports of an IRC user named "foobar" offering it according to a pastebin cache, and while the leak isn't complete (it's roughly 3GB short) it is a start for both PlayStation 3 developers and collectors.

To quote from DemonHades page, roughly translated:

"Just a while my friend...

142w ago - In what may be the most lame video thus far, YouTube user vakalokass has shared one of a Hello World for Sony's PS3 entertainment system today.

Why is it considered lame exactly? Well, for starters the PS3 has been hacked and running code that Sony doesn't approve of for a few weeks now via PS JailBreak- including full PlayStation 3 game backups.

Anyway, those interested can check it out below and be aware it was made with a simple printf application using samples from the leaked PS3 SDK.

Finally, the video's caption simply reads as follows, to quote: "The first HelloWorld in PS3, by The_Marioga and CORAGON"
