"Keys open doors" ?

[jdbnsn]

I found this file on wikileaks some time ago and was recently wondering about the status of being able to return PS3's back to dual boot ability. I know Geohat is working on stuff which apparently works but it's still a bit complicated for my knowledge. Does anyone know what these keys do?

No idea what those are.

Global keys used to open or close root on the OS thereby allowing for an alternative OS to be installed. The keys are useless without a few other tools, but there will probably soon be a package out there to do this since the keys are out there.

I heard today in one of Leo Laporte's podcast that Sony is investigating GEOhot for the breach in the PSN. He also mentioned that they are considering seeking legal action on anyone running a PS3 that is running a different OS. He also aluded to them forseeing the breach in the network and that was partially the reason they pulled the other OS option. They were trying to prevent the trouble they are having now. He said that an "inside source" said that the PSN will not be back up until late 2011 and maybe even early 2012.

Is it true that you can not even play new games now because they have to be "validated" before first run?

Note to Sony:

GIVE US ACCESS TO LINK OUR PS3 TO OUR STEAM ACCOUNTS! For those who bought PS3 Portal 2 (or, in my case, a friend who bought it), it's a real pain!


If you get it up enough for Steam transfers, I'll be happy. Just shut down the servers containing the private info.

Ah yeah, I said Geohot but I was thinking of gitbrew.org Evidently they have devised a working dual boot setup which allows for an actual linux OS to run vs the original design that gave you a sort of "boxed" alternative OS within the Sony gaming OS. It seems to be in pretty early stages though and the setup instructions might as well be written in Sanskrit. I'll have to wait a while for the McDonald's Drive-thru version to come out later.
