Forums - Sony - PS3 Hackers Gain Flash Access. Custom Firmware Coming?

With the release of yesterday's PS3_FTP_Server which enabled easy access to dev_hdd0, dev_flash, dev_flash2, dev_flash3 and dev_bdvd on the PS3, several developers are now examining the PlayStation 3's dev_flash and registry entries.

Forum user diemetal has let us know today that Spanish PS3 developer DemonHades has began to analyze dev_flash from PS3 Firmware version 3.41, stating the following (roughly translated):

"TeamHades has removed the three dev_flash that PS3 has. Thanks to the Homebrew PS3News we needed to extract (PS3 FTP Server).

We begin the analysis with some pictures of their content, we will later file by file documenting that we are not able to do anything and escape in the future a stable CFW."

RichDevx has also tweeted some pictures (below) of the PS3 flash contents and registry entries today.

Included in flash0 he stated that fonts, image, and 3 user modules (prx) files were interesting, however, he went on to say he is working on something else at the moment.

Finally, after a little digging CJPC discovered where Sony stores updates for both Retail and Debug PS3 games, stating that users can simply replace the game's TitleID with the one from any game and be able to obtain the latest update download links.

I won't give links to where I found this, for obvious reasons, but I hate to say I told you so.
I also couldn't put the pictures because the site won't let me link them, but they shows a PSP emulator on the PS3.

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

When I read the other day about the FTP app I knew it would lead to this and eventually a CFW.

This alone tempts me to pick up a slim and mod it.
