I have added two hypercalls, lv1_peek and lv1_poke. peek reads memory in real space(including all the MMIO), poke writes it. I can also add other arbitrary hypercalls as I see fit.
The hypervisor is complicated, it is written in C++ and is PPC, which I am not that familiar with yet.

Some people have criticised GeoHot as he hasn't yet accessed the isolated SPEs, he replied with this:

Some people pointed out that I have not accessed the isolated SPEs. This is true. Although as far as doing anything with the system, it doesn't matter. The PPE can't read the isolated data, but it can kick the isolated SPEs out. Decrypt the PPE binary you need using the intact SPE and save the decrypted version. Kick out the SPE, and patch the decrypted version all you want. And interesting note, by the time you get to OtherOS, all 7 working SPEs are stopped.
Despite this, he is working on the isolated SPEs now, which he says he can now load.
I suggest you keep your browser locked and loaded at Geohot’s PS3 blog. It'll keep you up-to-date on this very interesting peice of developing news.

I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1.
3 years, 2 months, 11 days…thats a pretty secure system.

That, in my mind, is a feat that deserves a medal.
My bad, I ment to say, you are giving him too much credit for the PS3, he has technically not hacked anything except found an exploit, What im trying to say by "You're giving him too much credit" is, Don't expect him to come out with CUSTOM FIRMWARE, and PIRATE GAMES, because before the PS3 update he said "dont download ps3 update, I will make Custom Firmware.", well I don't see the custom firmware, he also mentioned before that he could play pirated games, which was fake. I lost faith on this guy from all his lies.

yea i think this guy was awesome with the iPhone i mean that was some cool and sucessful stuff but i aint too sure about his PS3 success i mean i agree with HSx9 he has made alot of stuff up but at the same time he has "hacked" the PS3 (well found an exploit) but i think he deserves credit for getting close but by far has not been fully successful....i will be watching closely to his blog :p
