LovingSteam said:Hypervisor security broken
No need for dongles
New exploits
Can sign homebrew on all systems
Potentially offers the ability to offer updates without Sony official updates
So yea, none of that was possible before today's announcement. Still not seeing where you get the notion that CFW has been possible since the first unsigned code was running on the PS3.
Hypervisor security was already broken.
Dongles, yes although unsure what they're going to use for to put the executables on the PS3. Probably PS Store but that can be patched, so then you'd have to go through hard drive editing, not sure how that's much easier than a dongle.
Jailbroken PS3s already ran unsigned homebrew, no need to sign it. Potential to update was offered on Jailbroken PS3s.
CFW was a possibility the day the PS3 was released. All I'm saying is that this news doesn't mean that there's magically going to be CFW, CWCheat, MKV support like some people here have suggested. And if it does it's because of the renewed interest in it.
N.A said:Update .pup's and the contents of them are all signed and couldn't be modified (without the PS3 detecting it) before this key was found.
The downgrader used a modified PUP.
