Malheureusement, les hackers essayent toujours de contourner les logiciels systèmes", a déclaré un porte-parole de SCEA, Dave Karraker.
"Le mieux que nous puissions faire en qualité de société est de renforcer la sécurité et d'engager des poursuites légales agressives à l'encontre de toute personne essayant d'exploiter une faille de manière illégale".
Pour l'heure, les pirates ont cracké les firmwares 1.10 et 1.11 de la PS3, en parvenant booter avec des jeux piratés. Mais booter ne veut pas dire exécuter, car aucun jeu copié ni programme "homebrew" n'a cependant pu être lancé.
Et Karraker de rajouter :
"Naturellement, toute modification du logiciel système annule la garantie de la PS3â?¦Ce qui pourrait être une couteuse erreur juste pour savoir si vous pouvez lancer un jeu Sega CD dessus".
Reste que â?? d'une manière générale â?? c'est un fait que le piratage software a une certaine incidence sur les ventes de hardware. Et bien que cela soit totalement immoral, le crackage des firmwares de la PS3 pourrait bien se transformer en motivation d'achat pour certains clients, que ce soit pour utiliser des jeux piratés ou bien les programmes "faits maison" dont raffole la communauté. Et une communauté enthousiaste et impliquée, c'est bon pour la santé d'un produit, c'est ce qui s'appelle un dilemme.
Attendons maintenant de voir si ces déclarations hostiles seront finalement suivies des faits.
What's new/fixed:
* Fixed crashes related to running out of RAM in HD modes. You should be able to use any skin in 720p or 1080i and have no crashes ever. If you are an HD user that has been waiting to upgrade, then now is the time.
* Several (too many to list) HD GUI fixes. If you are an HD user, you will be pleased at the new tweaks.
* Added 720p and 1080i versions of all the skins. If you are going to run in 720p or 1080i, don't try to configure everything yourself (it takes FAR too long). Change to a 720p or 1080i skin and this will setup the GUI for you. This method will only require minor tweaks for your TV.
* The HD setting is now applied from the skin ini file.
* Removed a lot of dead code.
* Removed the TV calibration option since I assume it's not really being used by anyone. This frees up more RAM.
* The database files are loaded/unloaded on the fly to free more RAM
* Fixed the virtual keyboard to display correctly in 720p and 1080i.
* Added larger font sizes for the game guide and GUI (the game guide was too small to read in 720p and 1080i. This is fixed)
* Loading game guides 1MB and up should work now in HD resolutions (but don't go too crazy with the file sizes).

Technical details
------------------------
Defeats all current Xbox Live detection attempts.
· Compiling and running code via 'acquired' Dev hardware
· Gaining a better understanding how the PS3 Console works
· Encrypting our own Debug executables (make_fself: essentially normal PS3 ELF -> PS3 SELF [secure/crypted]) on Dev boxes
· Identifying and examining $CE calls/functions- this will lead to the creation of a "free" PS3$DK as it did with PS2 (inside joke: simply remove "sce_" flags and it's legal!)
· Through disassembly, sort the exact ELF->SELF method; extract Debug encryption keys
· PS3 Cell File System: In this v1.60 $DK, mkfs.self (CELL FS format utility) comparison VS from v0.50-v0.80 $DK mkfs.elf (which weren't encrypted, so can be ran and disassembled)
· Make and store games on a Dev box via $DK.. including signing them for Dev machines
· PSX(PS1)/PS2 region settings; future region switching shouldn't be difficult based on a preliminary examination
· Other areas of peak interest thus far: Cell_HW_Doc-xxx.zip and iRSX-HW_Doc-xxx.zip (hardware documentation packages)
· A LOT more- the above is from an extremely brief peek only
Finally, for non-Devs even some of the related tools seem interesting as well:
