Jailbreaking a PS3 using a TI-84 Plus?
« on: September 06, 2010, 07:34:50 pm »
While TI hinders the community with anti-downgrade/ASM/C protections on your TI-Nspire, Sony does the same about 3rd party development on the Playstation 3. Well, thanks to BrandonW, it looks like our dear calcs may come to help for PS3 users! In #ti IRC channel, there have been a lot of discussion about his latest project for the last few days. Some discussion was leaked in #omnimaga, #cemetech and #tcpa as well.

Who said calculators were just for math? Certainly not BrandonW, who has been working non stop, breaking his all-nighters streak record, on this PS3 jailbreaking exploit, mentionned on Slashdot today.

Here is a video of it in action, by BrandonW himself:


Now to see if PS3 owners will eventually be able to use their console to jailbreak a TI-Nspire...

UPDATE: It has been released! http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/

Nope, anything with the BrandonW label on it cannot be a joke :P

And yes, good job! Let's hope Sony won't block this too fast.

Great work BrandonW!

By the way, who came up with the idea to jailbreak a PS3 with a calculator? I mean am I the only one thinking "Random much?" :P
