(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We have just been informed by an anonymous source that a new modified firmware-project is underway: Project PS3MFW.

There are several contributors, some of whom are well-known within the PS3 homebrew community but wish to remain anonymous. However, we were told that KaKaRoTo is playing an important role in the project.

The purpose of Project PS3MFW is the development of a customizable tool that creates modified firmware for Playstation 3 with many great features not available in current solutions. It provides a framework where each firmware modification task is an independent plugin with access to an API that facilitates the modification process. One important feature is that the project will be entirely open source, as opposed to every other MFW released to date.

The tool will be called “PS3MFW Builder”, and it will work in conjunction with several other utilities.

Project PS3MFW is an ongoing project; anyone qualified can contribute.

Vectormatic noted the rumor floating around that the most recent PS3 patch has a back door, and
"Sony can now remotely execute code on the PS3 as soon as you connect. This can do whatever Sony wants it to do, such as verifying system files or searching for homebrew. Sony can change the code and add new detection methods without any firmware updates."

@stOneskull The website is unrelated to the group, we just happened to choose the same name :p also ps3cfw.com has been around for a while..

@msmith0592 I work on it on linux yes, I just took the screenshot from windows cause people want to see windows.

@stevelufc01 those never work... unfortunately

@stevelufc01 nothing they are big companies! don't worry measures will be taken against it!

@KaKaRoToKS ok correction Gold Platter, you are right!

@msmith0592 oh, and the gui is totally optional, you can run it all from the command line with --gui false.. and you get 65 CLI options :p

JUST AN UPDATE ON WHATS GOING ON --> TWITTER!!!
