That said, there's no stopping these hardcore homebrew types when they put their minds to something, and now Dragula96, a well known PSP hacker, has supposedly found an exploit on the PS3 that let him get a little Hello World proof of concept up and running. At the moment he's not saying how he did it, but he does say the hack is working on 60GB and 40GB PS3s, running the current 2.20 firmware. Next on the agenda? Pong. Video is after the break.

He hasn't specified how he's done the hack, but he does confirm that it's working on 40 and 60GB model and that his next step is putting Pong on there. On the other hand, dragula96 thinks that it's very unlikely that his hack will lead to an "iso loader", meaning you'll have to wait for another hack to play pirated copies of retail games. Well, another hack plus some actual games to play. I keeed!

Seriously, this is awesome. Imagine what people could do with the power of the PS3 in terms of homebrew apps and games. Even if there's no ISO loader in the near future, the kind of stuff homebrew developers could do with the PS3 is promising.

Wee don't want custom firmware necessarily, wee just want homebrew and ISO's :P

Holy poo poo, I just got an idea. If someone wrote an N64 emulator for PS3, it would most likely run close to full speed, because of the PS3's power, right? So, what if you could play that emulator over Remote Play? AWESOMESAUCE.

ok ISO loader will never happen as well because fat32 only supports up to 4gb
Iso loader and CFW will not happen
