    PS3/PSP private keys released.

    I said it before, I say it again, a change of keys IS POSSIBLE and yes, it could be used to tighten up the security again. However, it is not trivial. a) Add a second public key to the PS3. b) Use the private key for the new public key to sign new games. c) Create a checksum list of the headers...

    KaKaRoTo created first PS3 Custom Firmware

    The German Microsoft product manager once explained why Homebrew isn't helping a console at all: Most consoles are sold below value or with MINIMAL profit. Profit is made via games. Thus even if a console is used just for homebrew you don't give profit to Sony.

    PS3 keys finally released

    To answer the question if Sony could change the keys: Yes, they can but it is not trivial. If we check out the DSi you'll notice the DSi is compatible with all DS games, however incompatible with old flash cards (new ones use exploits which I do not want to go into). What happened? -Nintendo...

    Hacking Smash Stack PAL

    It is easy unfortunately! Even though Nintendo cannot directly patch the exploit using their current patching scheme they could easily in theory. Pretty muhc like Gecko OS patches game code on loading the system menu could do the same. The Stack Smash exploit relies on a fault of the Stage...

    Gaming Thinking about getting an xbox360... which one???

    The 360 might have the most complicated region code settings of all (after all Microsoft seperates Europe and Australia - just most games have both region codes enabled, I have yet to see one allowing one of both territories) however, there is ONLY ONE region code for Europe. So yes, there...

    Hacking PokéPark Wii problem on PAL Wii 4.2E

    I also played the game.. set your USB Loader to forced English or Japanese in the options.. the game has a lock so that it doesn't run on Wii languages which Japanese Wiis do not have.. Japanese wiis only allow Japanese or English (though 99% of all games released in Japan do not come with...

    Hacking Bricked Wii...cause PreLoader

    You changed the IOS version the system menu uses I assume. If you use 3.x your sys menus use IOS30. IOS11 is a game IOS which does not have sufficient NAND access for a system menu. This was your issue on a technical mean.

    Hacking comex's brawl haxx

    Well, to get my impressions on it.. Ocarina/Gecko OS staff developer speaking here (and many people say I would have developed Ocarina alone - let me just assure you I did not).. From a theoretical viewpoint this can be even patched by Nintendo.. however, I agree it's VERY hard.. to make it...

    Hacking additional preloader hacks for 4.0

    I tested the no copy protection with a NiGHTS savegame on 4.0E (guys if it doesn't work.. change "Offset" to "offset" (lower-case)). It copied.. but it refuses to copy back

    Hacking USB Backup Loader : isn't it a bit "too much" ?

    Quite sure of it in Germany too.. It is allowed to make one personal copy of non-copy-protected media.. as Wii discs should be considered copy-protected (seeing no computer could regularly read them) it's definitely illegal to copy them

    ROM Hack How to extract .cpk file ?

    Another good site is: http://hcs64.com/vgm_ripping.html Download the utf_tab suite there.. it will most likely allow you to unpack the CPK files.. the outcome will be most likely AAX or ADX audio files which can be played back with in_vgmstream.. which you can get at...

    Hacking Waninkoko's NAND iso Loader

    You do realize that it's not just about speed.. first of all we need somethign better than that crappy FAT support.. NTFS or ext2/3 filesystems will be needed! Many ISOs couldn't be properly scrubbed to go lower than 4 GB!

    Hardware Wii to GCN Converter

    On a technical note.. I guess it would be possible to enable that... however I'd suspect, you'd require both a bc and mios hack.. bc is the application which switches the Wii into Gamecube mode.. BC would be required to be modified so that it does not disable the Bluetooth adapter.. MIOS then...
