why don't they port it to something more easy instead of all these over expensive phones/devices?

 

[Vampant]

suppose it has to be a certain usb device

Let's hope the port to the Dualshock 3 controller is a success.

The device has to be able to be in USB slave mode. So you can't do this on any computer/laptop/netbook. Since all smartphones have to act as USB slave devices they are an ideal platform to get this stuff working. Since the most prevelant working version is based on Linux, only devices that have Linux support/hacks are being tried, which by definition makes them pretty obscure

Currently the easiest way is to hack the kernel of a linux device to act like the PSJailbreak. All devices so far have been accomplished by building a kernel module for their specific USB controller.

Since each controller needs to be attacked individually, there won't be an "Android App" for all Android devices.

The PSP version has hit some kind of wall because the CPU can't change the addresssing of the USB devices, which is required for the PSJailbreak to work.

I also just read the often joked about TI-84 version is actually close to being released! I guess all the MIT nerds in my back yard can now rejoice.

It was never a joke.

I enjoy reading about this every day, shows just how screwed Sony finally became.
The PS3 has got to be the console with the most available options on which device you would like to hack it with

You can hack the Wii with a lot more things than you can the PS3, at least so far.

yeah, like

> an sd card/bannerbomb
> an sd card/a game
> an sd card/a diff game

so much variety

Just to confirm, can I get sources?

+1 lol

we already have news of some awesome emu's currently being ported, ps2 and dc
those 2 pretty much put the whole homebrew scene of the wii to shame

 

[Bladexdsl]

ps2 emulation isn't even perfect on the pc yet so what makes you think it'll be better on a ps3? and don't bother saying it's more powerful

In terms of the USB slave mode question, that's been address in Kakaroto's FAQ of the original N900 PSFreedom

http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/tag/psfreedom/

Q: Will it work from a linux PC ?
A: Unfortunately, no, most PCs have a USB controller that only supports Host mode, but you need Slave mode to be able to make this work.

This explains why no desktop Linux port has been made despite PSFreedom being a Linux based hack.

In regards to the PSP version. There's definitely a lot of 'noise' in the thread but the consensus, so far, is that while they have the usb hub working, the addressing problem still exists, which might make a PSP version impossible. Of course this is the synopsis from people translating Spanish forums

http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65216

Of course this could change, as has a lot just in the past week or so with other PSGroove ports. But unless some kind of breakthrough is made it seems the PSP version is dead.
