Linux on the PS4 running Pokemon

4.5
At the Chaos Communication Congress failoverflow showed us a Linux running on the PS4 with a special version of pokemon running on it. They didn’t talk about it like the 3DS hacking just a few slides and a video of it in action.

Now it’s hard to say what firmware they are using to do this with but if I had to guess I would say 1.76Fw as we know it has the WebKit exploit in it but they use the PS4 user guide as their entry point. Thanks to biteyourconsole they recorded this for everyone to see, you can check out the short video below.

Agape can't wait to see what this all leads to!


this will all lead to people finding out more annoying shit to annoy more people on every game.

JRMH People are praising this, as if hacking isn't what ruins nearly every AAA game. Ha. F/cking losers lmao.


People are praising this because it is a pretty remarkable thing as far as computer science goes. You are taking a device and making it do something that it was never meant to do. If anything you are the loser for not seeing the whole point behind it. This has nothing to do with "hacking" like you are talking.


Running homebrew software is just the same as running code to host stupid shit on games. i mean, if you can exploit it, people WILL exploit it. I pray that this type of "remarkable thing" remains on Playstation, where it belongs.

That's truly amazing for this to happen.
