George Hotz is still hard at it, hacking the Sony Playstation 3, this time, he goes a little more into detail as to what he has done, and where this is going. The beginning of the post, he stresses the against the use of piracy, and what to and what not to expect.
First off, this is not a release blog like “On The iPhone”. If you are expecting some tool to be released from this blog like blackra1n, stop reading now. If you have a slim and are complaining this hack won’t work for you, stop reading now. WE DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY, NOR WILL WE EVER. If you are looking for piracy, stop reading now. If you want to see the direction in which I will take this blog, read the early entries in the iPhone one. Information on this blog is for research purposes only.
George then goes into detail, as to what code the hypervision is written in, which is C++ and PPC.
The hypervisor is complicated, it is written in C++ and is PPC, which I am not that familiar with yet. At first I was trying to add a hypercall to add arbitrary real memory to the LPAR, but it kept crashing(because I can’t code), which is really annoying, because I have to wait while Linux reboots.
