97w 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.

Download: Sony PS3 SDK GCC Cell OS LV2 Toolchain Sources

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

140w 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.

To quote from DemonHades page, roughly translated:
