Master keys... ooooh boy... Sony will be unable to patch these, they are like MAC addresses and allows hackers to gain the SAME executable access that Sony ITSELF has. Thanks to a kid named geohot for the exploit and team fail0verflow for developing and releasing a dev kit. This is very very big news.

Questions:

Can I finally play Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball off my hard drive instead of buying it for R100 from BTgames?!

No, not as of yet anyway, Geohot specifically designed his CFW without the ability to load Blu Ray backups. It has to be said though that Castlevania: Lord of Shadow has been ripped to play, its 11 gigs though, so screw downloading it. There is more development going into this right now than the Nasa Moon Landing so expect to be able to run all your games off drive soon.

Can I run oldschool games like mario and sonic?

Yes, yes you can! Homebrew like Snes9x 4.4.1 can be executed to run under the Gehot CFW, ive tested myself and games like Mario Allstars run perfectly! Emulators are available at present because people were busy developing for the Jailbreak mod (R1000000 USB dongle) which allowed execution of pkg files.

Can I go online with Geohot's CFW?

For everyone who’s asking the question: “Will I get banned from PSN for using these hacks?” Well in theory, as EuroGamer puts it, yeah … probably. Sony’s been playing nice so far, releasing only mandatory firmware updates that revoke PSN access, and now said updates will only slow the hardcores down, because as you and I both know the PS3 is owned at the hardware level — we saw it happen on the PSP and Sony is reliving the nightmare on the PS3. So when will the +b’s kick in? It’s only a matter of time I guess. There’ve been no ban reports yet, but if/when that happens we’ll let you know. And you should know: your PS3, no matter what, if it’s connected to an Internet jack, it’s transmitting data from/to Sony. It’s always a bad idea to keep your hacked PS3 Internet connected.

But DarkM@st3r_666 has developed his own CFW should'nt I use his instead?

I have trouble keeping my various papers organized, the quickest way to keep them all tidy would be to download and install CFW from some random bra on the internet! Please guys, dont brick your PS3s.

was looking at this since after christmas - no ixtreme LT+ or similar for PS3 - its just blown open by the code. it'll probably be easier to pirate for the PS3 now- well barring the bluray disc costs. funny that the PS3 has a killer line up this year.

The Geohot keys were released today. So pretty big news. Sony said it would take a thousand workstations a thousand years to brute force them, well... yea..

You could, you know, just run everything off a 2tb drive? :) Dude the system is blown OPEN you can run NTFS support if you want to via CFW.

this is sooo cool. also the way it was cracked was ridiculously funny - i read something about random numbers being checked by the hypervisor (?) but it always only checks the same sets of numbers - maybe i missed the crux of the hack by a bit :D

true. cant wait for some cool homebrew shiz to pop up now.
 
Isn't geohot the guy who got the linux switched out for us by the first hack few months ago ?
 
With the pace that the homebrew apps are coming out I wouldnt be surprised if a CFW gets released this week :)

This are really happening at a fast pace. You can can even create your own pup files. :D
 
Great news.

George Hotz (GeoHOt) is only 21 years old.
He jailbroke the Iphone when he was 17.
Pretty impressive.
 
Geohot has one mean resume now. Imagine what kind of offers he is going to get.
 
To the best of my understanding, it means that any dev can now code for the PS3 and sign it using the root key so that ANY PS3 can boot the code
