[source: ps3key.com] The PS3Key feature list has been announced! Check out http://www.ps3key.com for more information!
PS3Key Feature List:
* USB Plug and Play solution that installs in seconds without any need to open up the PS3.
* Does not break your warranty seal.
* Compatible with all PS3 models, both Fat and Slim.
* Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA.
* USB device fully updatable by PC.
* Disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.
* Supports most games and homebrew applications.
* Easy-to-use software for backing up, managing, and playing games from external USB Hard Drive.
* Playing games from HDD is much more enjoyable, benefiting from greatly enhanced seek and loading times.
* Supports installing homebrew application on PS3 and external USB media.

Here's a not so random quote from the post: 'The initial analysis by gamefreax.de suggested that it was a Stack overflow attack. After further analysis it turns out that this exploit is a Heap Overflow attack. The exploit carefully manipulates the heap by plugging and unplugging fake usb devices with large device descriptors until the device on port 4 which misreports its size to overwrite one of malloc's boundary tags.'"

PSGroove for PS3; an open-source reimplementation of the PS Jailbreak exploit for AT90USB and related microcontrollers has been released by Mathieulh and others. According to the author it should work on any of these: AT90USB162, AT90USB646, AT90USB647, AT90USB1286, AT90USB1287, ATMEGA32U4 and maybe more. The Teensy USB board as seen below seems to be the popular choice of hardware to run PSGroove. ;)

Please note I have no way of confirming if this is the real thing or not at the moment. According to this info the device is an ATmega164PA which does not include any USB support in hardware. UPDATE: These are indeed custom schematics and PCB layouts made by Xantra, not the original PS Jailbreak. "

Since interesting data (and even whole sites) have a nasty way of disappearing on the net I pasted it all up in a text file (ASCII) you can find here. After a quick look at the stuff released it seems as if the first USB session prepares a 'landing zone' with PPC exploit code and the second session trigger some kind of overflow bug which throws execution to land somewhere within the exploit code (maybe in a buffer or stack).

Probably works fine with other modchips also. There was an update on the game disc, could be System Menu 4.3. I used GeckoOS loaded from the Homebrew Channel to bypass the update, but it should work to perform the update on disc when using modchip if you don't care about the effects on homebrew stuff installed. Also, if you have upgraded to the latest Homebrew Channel using HackMii Installer (v0.7 or above) it shouldn't be a problem to do the disc update after that since System Menu 4.3 is supported.

[source: wiikey.cn] Today we have released Wiikey Fusion update v1.4 which partially fixes an issue that causes the Mii/Photo channel to crash on some Wiis when no SD card is present. With this update, all Wiis should now work as long as SD card or DVD is present. This will be completely resolved in the upcoming 1.5 firmware update. Various other minor bugfixes and improvements have been included in this release and we recommend that everyone upgrades. It can be downloaded from the members area.

The device has been sent out and confirmed by xorloser and OzModChips posted a video on YouTube. There have been several fakes announced in the past with similar functionality but this one seem legit. I suspect it was developed using the PS3 Glitch Hack released by geohot in January 2010. The official site is http://psjailbreak.com/ (which is under heavy load at the moment). Read on for official specs...

This is promising news indeed, we all know what C4E is capable of regarding custom firmwares for the Xbox 360 DVD drive."

[source: team-xecuter.com] Team Xecuter have been working closely with Team Jungle & C4E for several weeks now on the new Xbox 360 250GB Model (some call it 360 S or 360 Slim). We are pleased to officially announce that the team has successfully patched the DVD Rom to be able to play backups. This is the first successful step and there is much work still to be done for the general public’s consumption.

[source: dhewg @ hackmii.org] Some of you may be familiar with a major problem in Wii homebrew land. Most applications and games found on wiibrew.org use libogc, which in turn relies on IOS. While most IOS versions have a USB module, it is limited to USB1, and its I/O throughput make some applications next to unusable when using USB mass storage devices, others have annoyingly long loading times. The Wii game Your Shape changed this - it introduced a new IOS version: 58, and this is the first with an official USB2 module. Starting with the System Menu 4.3 update, IOS58 is available to every Wii. Thanks to some serious work by tueidj, all homebrew applications can now utilize this USB2 module through libogc. The Homebrew Channel v1.0.8 is the first version supporting it. IOS58 will be automatically installed when you update your Wii to System Menu 4.3. If you do not want to update, you can use Tantric’s clean IOS58 Installer.

He also claims the team already know how to decrypt the dumped firmware."

[source: wiikey.cn] Good news for those of you who have emailed us asking about GC support on SD card in Wiikey Fusion! A small bug fix to the Wiikey Fusion The popular WBFS Manager application has now been updated to version 4.0 and includes full support for adding GC images to SD cards formatted with the WBFS filesystem. Because of the way it does this, a minor update to Wiikey Fusion has also been necessary. You can download both the new WBFS Manager and the Wiikey Fusion v1.3 update in the members area.

modrobert writes: "What first looked like a general lesson in electronics by tmbinc turned out to be GameCube disc related, I should have known. ;) The screen dump from his oscilloscope shows the 'laser mark' from a Datel disc (ultimate cheatcodes), which interestingly enough isn't actually a real laser mark but simply embedded in the datastream according to tmbinc. This is the trick used by Datel to boot their discs (eg. Action Replay) in unmodified GameCube's, now explained in detail. At this point I'm not sure if this leads closer to create bootable discs (as if original) on your own, but he has my full attention from now on. o_O Deja vu Dreamcast! Quote tmbinc: 'Every now and then, I come across something on my scope that's just beautiful.'

modrobert writes: "Sony has released PS3 Firmware Update v3.41 via PSN. This release adds a recommendation function to games and videos in the playstation store according to Eric Lempel (and still removes 'Other OS' in fat PS3 consoles if anyone cares). This time there is a new smaller PS3PATCH.PUP file available along with the usual PS3UPDAT.PUP which I suspect is an incremental patch. Check this topic in the ps3 tech forum for hacking related info and download links. I have updated the Ps3OsRels wiki as usual."

[source: dhewg @ hackmii.com] After more than four weeks we believe we’ve finally reached the point for the next public release of the HackMii Installer: v0.7. A lot of changes and improvements went into this release. After quite some headaches and a few puzzles (thanks Erant!) we stockpiled over 250 commits since v0.6, increasing the compatibility with even more Wiis. The installer now works completely differently, The Homebrew Channel got a few new features and a new look, and BootMii received a fair amount of minor improvements too.

modrobert writes: "Here's something for the oldschool console fans out there (like myself); marshallh over at retroactive.be is working on an impressive flash cart project for the Nintendo 64 (N64) currently named 64drive which supports loading of ROM's from a CompactFlash (CF) card with FAT32 file system, and he also coded a native N64 software loader system/menu to interface with the hardware. To get a taste of his N64 coding skills, check the collection of top notch homebrew games/demos here. For an introduction to the project you can watch this video over at YouTube from January 2010 where marshallh got the design working for the first time on his FPGA dev board after spending lots of time translating his idea into Verilog code. Below is a recent photo of the final PCB fitting nicely into a N64 cart.

[source: helldoc.blogspot.com via xbox-scene.com] Testing is underway and things are looking amazing!! There's still some visual issue : A tab sometime appears blue, seems to be some threading issue with our skin xml loading... If your content list is pretty much empty issues is not seen.... Copy DVD is working fine, but skin needs some work. In the profile tab, the gamertag is misaligned. HTTP downloader is 100% stable, all of my content seems to get scanned fine ( i got lots of extracted games and xbla games. GOD and homebrew should list fine too, will test later. Will post some screenshot later today. About the SVN log not working anymore, it seems like there some issue with our website, just go to http://trac.teamfsd.com/log and you'll see whats going on.

[source: wiikey.cn] Our photographer has just come back from Cambodia with the latest photos from the Wiikey Outreach Project. For those of your unfamiair with the project, work was started to rennovate and repair Classroom block A of Anuwitayalai Prey Srolit School in Cambodia back in January. There have been a number of delays along the way, but all have been overcome and we are all very proud of the progress made so far. All of this was done by using a portion of the proceeds from Wiikey sales in 2009.

[source: Bushing @ hackmii.com] It's been a quiet few months around here - Nintendo seems to have been neglecting the Wii. We expected to see a firmware update bundled with Super Mario Galaxy 2, but found no such thing - however, a few weeks later, we have ourselves a brand new 4.3 update.

modrobert writes: "Nintendo has released Wii System Menu 4.3 which seems to pack a number of unpleasant features so I recommend avoiding it for now. Here are some of the changes according to wiibrew.org: Deletes the Homebrew Channel and DVDX, title IDs HAXX, DVDX, JODI, DISC, and DISK. Now uses IOS80. IOS254 stubbed BootMii is deleted. Fixed Bannerbomb less stupidly this time. Added IOS58. HackMii Installer Userland+Syscall IOS exploit removed. NANDFS privilege escalation fixed. ES_AddTitleFinish now checks the signature (Trucha Bug Restorer and similar won't work anymore). Officially the update seems nice enough, quote: 'This update provides behind-the-scenes fixes that will not affect features but will improve the overall system performance.' Knowing Nintendo the exact opposite is true for those of us using homebrew or soft hacks, not sure if modchips are affected yet."

[source: wiikey.cn] To help users who have had a bad flash while upgrading their Wiikey Fusion (ie: if the power went out in the middle of updating) we have made a Recovery Image available in the members area. This update provides the same firmware update as the regular Wiikey Fusion Update v1.2 released on 8th June, but it runs in recovery mode. Use this only if you are unable to apply the regular v1.2 update. Be sure to read the readme.txt instructions carefully before installing, as it requires more steps than a regular Wiikey Fusion update.
