this is all sony's fault when you lock up your system and call it unbreakable, give people a means to run their code (albeit with limited access) and then take it away cause your afraid ppl will abuse it. this is what u get.. i hope that it becomes as hacked as the wii and the xbox them maybe these company's will stop wasting so much money on encryption and protection schemes that hurt the owners of the systems (drm..). once they realize that they can never win, perhaps i can finally buy a device and run MY code on it with out having to compromise my hardware or machines firmware by having to hack it. now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that this should be used to pirate games. i would just like to see more acceptance of homebrew code on systems.
Q, USAF and their 2,500 PS3 cluster
I've got homebrew on my PS3, and it isn't costing them a dime. Even if I wanted to pirate, I simply don't have a fast enough connection for it, so my stuff is all legit.
that is indeed true for some people.Well some people claim to use "backups" but once they do backup their games onto their hard drives or external drives, then they just go and sell the game back to gamestop, EBgames, etc. but your right its not always used for piracy, the homebrew apps are very useful, like the VNC apps on the wii that lets me view n control my computer on my tv, while the fusa gamepad hombrew lets my use my psp as a gampad on my computer to let me play it juust like the psx
same here. there are situations where these two are separated, e.g. on newest psp models with HBL, where you can only run homebrew.
I'm don't put it together.
