redwatch Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 I'm curious if anyone here has hacked their PS3 with an install of linux? Care to share your thoughts or experiences with it? Thanks!
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 you have to hack your ps3 to install linux now? i remember when that was an advertised feature.
chronoluvvv Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 that's been my plan since a while heck that's why i haven't updated the firmware in over a couple of years either but just no bl00dy time, i tell ya
Jkay Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Yes, Sony disabled the ability to multi-boot into different operating systems a couple of years ago. That hacker in California was taken down by Sony and the DMCA by distributing the technology to re-enable the ability to run Linux.

sarkazz Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 That hacker in California was taken down by Sony and the DMCA That was a very smart move indeed, PSN down, credit card details leaked and it will not be over until they drop the case against geohot. Sony is stupid.
Jkay Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 So what are the options now? The hack created by "geohot" is still out there. Just search for it. I have not used it myself, but it must work perfectly if Sony dropped a huge DMCA bomb on the author.
chronoluvvv Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 yep Sony definitely screwed the pooch on this one the repercussions owing to the 'Barbara Streisand effect' are going to haunt them for a long, long time
sarkazz Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 BTW - Sony dropped the case against Geohot in April and settled, I missed that somehouw. Anyway, they are getting hacked over and over again...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 it should have never gotten to that stage. where in a country under the DMCA you could technically be sued for physically unscrewing and taking apart a system i.e "reverse engineering" its insane, its illegal to refill ink cartridges under this copyright act.
sarkazz Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Meanwhile, Sony got hacked again. This is just hilarious!
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 I got YLOD (yellow light of death) on my ps3 ysterday!!! I know it could be fixed but it can happen again So i bought the slim one 160gig My first one lasted 4,5 years!
GoFaster Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 I know Sony wanted make pursuits to all persons who has DL the H@Ck on GeoHot page... Hot ! And what Anonymous did to Sony was not totally Good because Psn was offline for a long time but Sony has took a Big kick in his Ass !
