PS3news.com is leaking reports of an announcement to come this evening!

Looks like the debug unit they got has paid off

Smells bogus, but let's see anyway.

I wouldn't believe anything that shit hole has as news.

I got over-enthusiastic early in the morning after playing GTA4 for 14 hrs.

Lol

Complete RSX control?

Speculating.

it's a ploy to generate web traffic that they otherwise wouldn't get

Ha, never. It'll be patched, unless it's an exploit from the hardware level.

We need to be able to put emulators on the PS3.

The PS3 is very powerful, and it's the next step for emulation machines from the PSP and the XBOX.

What about 360?

I would have mentioned the 360 but currently no one has actually made an emulator for it.

I think both the 360 and the PS3 are far from being haxed to the same level as the PSP and XBOX.

Hope is there though.

Hope is all I need.

ive seen some vids over at youtube witn people putting yellowdog linux on their ps3 and running sdlmame and running some of the capcom vs series games at full speed.so if they arent fake then i think the ps3 is halfway there.

Depends which VS games your talking about. Generally speaking, a 1.4GHz machine with 256 MB of ram can run MSH.

The point is all your PS3 Linux emulators have gimped hardware access.

the point is,that the ps3 can do emulation,dosent matter if it isnt fully cracked yet,its doing it right now.
even though there isnt access to the full potential of the hardware.as much as i would like to run emus on my 360,its gonna be a LLLOOOOONNNGGG time.

The 360 is no where near able to run homebrew. The PS3, however, can do it out of the box. Sony gave us what we wanted right away, only they gimped it. Custom firmware will come, if not then the OS feature will be exploited to the point where we can at least run DC games.

well at least ps3 has got emulation from out of the box but us 360 owners arent so lucky.i am surprised though that the 360 hasnt been haxed,seeing as its been out for more than 2 years.well will just have to keep playing the waiting game.

...because of an exploit...at the hardware level

I'd be happy even if the 360 was hacked to allow more codecs to run. The limits imposed at the minute are stupid. Even with the Fall update it still won't play common codecs like Divx3 Low Motion, or any of the new .mkv files. Not to mention it only allows 2 channel stereo in mp4 files, so you can have HD video, but only 'old' stereo sound to go with it.

The way PSP FW is written is common knowledge to a coder for the scene now. True, no one else except DA hacks the firmware, but others can. It's fault is how Sony built it, it will always have faults to exploit because DA and others have exploited these faults since the beginning. You can't even say the Pandora Battery is a hardware fault, that's all software based as well and is the end all of modifying your PSP.

I believe the PS3's firmware will be hacked eventually. And even if it's not, you can bet the OS feature will be exploited with custom UI's and features once coders figure out how to access the RSX.

Nobody uses modchips for the PSP.

everything gets hacked eventually, the question is, "when"

The answer is apparently 'not tonight'. PS3News fails once again.

I really wonder if these systems will last longer than the 6th generation systems did.

Gamecube 2001-2007
Xbox 2001-2007
Playstation 2 2000-Present

I was discussing the next-gen consoles, how they would be and stuff with some friends. We all seem to aggree that the next wave of games would be the last for all 3 systems, or at least the last wave to attempt to sell consoles.

It is unfair to consider the Gamecube and Xbox spans as long as that. Sure games are still produced for them, but the systems themselves died off a lot earlier.

That in mind, there is no way the current gen machines will last as long as the PS2. The market is just not as conducive to that kind of dominance as it was in the PS2's prime. However...


..the next wave of titles will certainly not be the last for any of the current systems. Nor will it be the second or even third last.

It won't be the last to sell consoles either. Given current prices, there are still demographics that will need conquering after the MGS4s and GoW2s of this year have gone by. Early Wii adopters looking for a 'real' console will be one, and another will no doubt be those casuals who get taken in by the Rock Band / Singstar DLC-based platforms and need to decide on a console over that. MS and Sony will be fighting to sell systems to these people for years to come.

Especially with the Blu-Ray thing sorted, tech specs and graphic whore games will become less important than what each system's networks can offer. A game that isn't a fee based MMO but that can still offer a continuous, evolving experience will no doubt shift boxes when whatever the killer app in that department is gets released.

I would like to Saturn if a exploit comes around to use full capabilities this is would be good.

I'm with you. I'd love saturn on the PS3, it's been a long time and my mod chip broke a year ago. Thing is, not a single emulator can run a saturn game correctly. I haven't been updated in a while, but I'm pretty sure this still stands in the emulation community.

What would really be awesome is if sony allowed saturn games to be played on the PS3 via an emulator, and sell saturn games on the PSN.

Saturn emu on any next gen console would be awesome.

So I guess the PS3 was never "haxed"?

Nope. PS3News is full of BS. Remember when they hyped up the ISO loader for the PS3 last year? Same thing.
