George Hotz said about the matter in his blog:

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.

Dude, come on..... I know absolutely nothing about hacking but I DO know when to give credit where credit's due. This guy was the first person ever to hack the iPhone, leading to majorly awesome things happening. He is also the only person EVER to have hacked the PS3..... That, in my mind, is a feat that deserves a medal.

If his answer to Sony's removing of the Other OS still requires a Hardware Mod then I'm going to update. I have yet to update because I'm holding out for a Software mod.

He already said he has no intentions for hacking/pirating games.

Geohot may be a good hacker, but has he ever done anything as intense as hacking the MW2 leaderboards? That's hardcore 1337 h4x0r shit :p

to be fair and please dont take this the wrong way dude people give you a hell of a lot of credit for your prestige hack and fair due's it helped a lot of people, but this guy hacked the iphone and the ps3 which combined has helped out a lot more people than your prestige hack so imo the guy deserves a hell of a lot of credit, dont take this the wrong way its just my opinion
