Yes, you read that correctly. All firmwares ever released or to be released by Sony will have homebrew. Why? Well, the company has no way of making their gaming machines know what is homebrew and what is officially released programs.

How is this possible? Well, the makers of both products have added a secret encryption to everything that is ran on either machine. Without this encryption, your programs will not run. But, that secret key has been released for both of the devices and this year, we will see both devices explode with homebrew and Sony won’t be able to do anything about it!

Thanks Geohot, Team fail0verflow, Mathiuel, and the others! :D We love you and truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us!

” 1. Download ps3 utilities and ps3 tools from github / team fail0verflow:
*

git clone https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3utils.git

*

cd ps3utils

*

make

*

cd ..

*

git clone git://git.fail0verflow.com/ps3tools.git

*

cd ps3tools

*

make

*

cp pkg unpkg ../ps3utils

2. Grab the PS3 encryption/decryption/signing keys from github:
*

git clone https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3keys.git ~/.ps3

3. Download PS3 3.55 (or whatever official firmware PUP) from here
4. Extract and copy “PS3UPDAT.PUP” to the “ps3utils” directory
5. Create the PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) from the original/official update (OFW):
*

cd ps3utils

*

./create_cfw.sh PS3UPDAT.PUP CFW.PUP

6. Copy and rename CFW.PUP to a USB storage device keeping this directory structure in mind: /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
7. Connect that USB device to your PS3 and install
from Settings -> System Update”

If any of you are wondering if it’s “the right time to hack the PSP/ PS3″, right about…. NOW is that time. We live in good times, my friends, good times.
