Hello PS3 World!!!

 

Quote:

We haven't heard much out of the PS3 homebrew scene so far, which could be due to the console's delayed popularity, or perhaps because Sony did users a solid out of the gate and included Linux. 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.

Update:
Some users were reporting issues when using the Pack Generator with Mac OSX and also there has been some confusion as to the actual extraction to root process.  I'm happy to report that we've solved the issue of the Mac corrupted .zip files, and have updated the Pack Generator with instructions on how to install on each different OS.  Hopefully that will solve most users problems.  Enjoy!

 


WiiBrew is proud to present the Wii Pack Generator! For those of you who aren't familiar with the concept of a Pack Generator, I'll give you a quick rundown. The Wii Pack Generator is a web based utility that allows you to select from the most recent, up to date, and high quality homebrew for your Nintendo Wii and create a custom pack. All of the homebrew you select will be added into a .zip or .exe file with the correct structure for easy, ready to go extraction onto your SD card.

Get homebrew on your Wii, the easy way! Just select what you want, download, extract to the root of your SD card, and run using the Homebrew Channel! Don't have the Homebrew channel, but have Twilight Princess? Have no fear, we've got you covered. Just download the necessary files at the top of the homebrew list, run the Twilight Hack (we've got a video tutorial if you don't know how), and the Homebrew Channel will be installed automatically for you. Ready to start downloading? Then simply click the Wii Pack Generator banner or follow the link below. Special thanks goes out to BrentBizzle for his hard work with updating and filling the Pack Generator to make all of this possible!  If you like our Pack Generator or need help, be sure to join our forums and let us know!  We always appreciate getting new members in the Brewology community!

Great news to the world of 1.2.0 Jailbroken iPod Touch/iPhone owners. Word has it that "Installer.app" is almost complete and will be available soon! In which case would cause a ton more homebrew capabilities onto the new 2.0 firmware. This will be a great alternative to cydia because it has been more widly used and it looks great. Look up to see screenshots!

Wii Dunce Cap

Thanks to an inadequate response from Nintendo, bushing has made the decision to go public with his ISO loading DVD loading exploit.  Essentially what this means is that all users, including those without a modchip, will now be able to access to files stored on their own DVD-R.  This really opens up a lot of useful possibilities with countless homebrew applications.  Check out what folks at HacMii had to say:

 

Quote:

Note: this is not a backup loader, in any way, shape, or form. If you’re looking for a backup loader, please move along.

While Nintendo did reply to bushing’s open letter, he has not succeeded in establishing a conversation with an engineer about the issue. Furthermore, we have learned that they received and read at least two of the original three e-mails that were sent prior to the open letter, and decided not to reply (in fact, one of their replies was to one of the original e-mails, but only after the open letter was posted). Therefore, we can only conclude that they are not very interested in the issue.

As many of you may already know or have deduced, the bug in our open letter referred to a way of reading DVD-Rs (and Video DVDs) without the use of a modchip. Several people have investigated the bug independently, and they’ve gotten pretty close. However, we did discover an easier way of enabling this mode from homebrew, which, among other things, does not require any changes to IOS at all. This method is also relatively difficult to transform into some sort of backup loader.

Erant has been developing a library that uses this trick to enable DVD access for homebrew. We hope to release it this coming week, after a few details have been polished. svpe and dhewg have been working on a native mplayer port that uses this library to play back DVDs, which we hope to release as a proof-of-concept together with the library. We also have DVD-loading versions of snes9x and Genplus.

Non-modchip users will not need a custom IOS. Ironically, this method doesn’t work for users of some modchips. Therefore, these users will require a patched IOS using the well-known UnencryptedRead patch (the library will automatically use it if needed). We’ll try to release a somewhat more user-friendly version of patchmii dedicated to this task together with the library.

Could this mean an eventual ISO or DVD loader for downloaded backup games?  Only time will tell, but for now I can safely say Nintendo should be nominated as "Dunce of the Week" for their lack of and follow through with getting this patched.  I have a feeling this could come back to bite them…

iTouch

The iTouch DS gets a major makeover with the all new firmware update 1.9.  This update pretty much cancels out about 75% of the iTouch DS's cons.  The changelog pretty much speaks for itself:

 

Official iTouch Web Site —> Cool

Head here for a direct download —> Laughing

 

Hopefully, when more people get aware of this new update, the iTouch will get its sales boost.  This is exactly what this cart needed.

Heres a heads up for all "Non-Apple" Devs out there. It seems the a few days after the first unlocked iPhone 3G was born, Apple rolled out firmware 2.1 for Apple Developers.  Check it out:

Dev Team’s planetbeing released xpwn, cmw released winpwn, and Apple pushed out 2.1 firmware to beta testers. And meanwhile the pursuit of the 3G unlock goes on. Whew that’s a lot of activity for one week!

Here’s a screenshot of 2.1 running on an unlocked iPhone 1G. Pwnage remains in effect. Unlike all other jailbreaks (and unlocks for 1G), we believe Pwnage to be fixable only via a hardware revision. So far Pwnage has worked for 1.1.4, all eight (!) 2.0 betas, 2.0 itself, and now 2.1 beta1.

TVersityTVersity 1.0 RC2 has just been released lately, with some much needed features added, as well as some enjoyable ones. One of my most favorite changes has to be the support for album art. The image isn't limited to the icon that Windows Media Player or Winamp produce, but you can also use your own art by using the naming convention included in the readme. While this release isn't a full on v1.0 release, it is still very close. The album art interface is also not limited to Wiis but any HTML (PS3's, Blackberries, iPhones, PSP's, etc.) and Flash (Wii!) interface. Here is the changelog for your viewing pleasure:

 

Quote:

New Features:
-Album art support is now available and is compatible with the Sony PS3 as well as with the HTML interface (PSP, iPhone, Blackberry, etc.) and flash interface (Wii). Album art relies on JPEG files conforming to certain naming conventions that are present in the same folder as music tracks. These files can be created by either Windows Media Player or WinAmp and TVersity will pick them up, or users can add them manually.
-Individual YouTube videos can now be added by pointing the browser to a specific video on YouTube and dragging and dropping the address bar icon to TVersity (or copying and pasting the URL).

Bug Fixes:
-MShare now refreshes as fast as it was in 0.9.11.4.
-No files are periodically added to the Temporary Internet Files folder while the GUI is running (browser caching was turned off).
-Fix crashes when adding/refreshing some FLAC and some MP3 files.
-Flash interface is now more reliable when switching from one live stream to another and then going back to first one.
-TVersity service was failing to start on machines that had a non ASCII character in their hostname.

Uno!

Homebrew developer kriogeN has just updated his great homebrew game "UNO" for the Wii to version 4. This update includes something we all can love, improved graphics! Seems like a fun game to me. UNO allows 2 to 4 players that can play against each other across the internet. This update also includes a couple more minor changes, which can be viewed in the readme. So now the directions, excuse me if my Spanish is a little rusty (as well as googles) but here it goes:
 
Quote:

Directions:
In the main menu indicates if it wants to act as a server for 2 to 4 players or want to become a customer, once selected you'll have to wait until all players are connected. As all are connected server distributed charts and start playing the first connected user (normally the player who acts as a server, but could be another if someone connected before this establish its own connection).

If you have more cards in your hand you can see (more than 7 letters) you can move hand with the left and right buttons.

To select a letter you put on top and press B (the letter selected will appear in the foreground as you move your hand), if you have no cards to make (or think you do not have) hit the button and draw a new 2 letter. Clicking the button home saldrás your turn the game, but other users are blocked (expects to receive from a socket that no longer exists)

If this is not your turn seem that the game has been hanged, but is not so.
