This tool costs over $10,000 from Sony and only used by high-end Game Studios as it has features which are not allowed in normal DEBUG / TEST machines, like the ability to dump the actual Hypervisor and LV1 memory ranges, basically it is dream-house of low-level knowledge waiting for the right person to look into its core brains more deeply using today's PS3 knowledge that we now have, thanks in part to all the previously released tools!

This is were adrianc enters the PS3 battle arena, and has started a "fund raising effort" to grab one of these little babies (pictured above), most of the big money has already been privately raised, so now he has open up the last bit of $1,800 to be raised via donations from the PS3 public that want to see more great low-level PS3 knowledge released, more developer tools, better homebrew, faster emulators, and maybe even some stuff like keys for v3.56+, you never know want might be discovered by ripping this costly sucker apart with solid developers like adrianc behind this project that has worked closely with all the other key PS3 developers on IRC channels, and knows what needs to done!

Hey, I'm adrianc, you may know me from around the ps3 scene for my work on various projects, for example finding and releasing the 3.56 keys. I'd like to encourage you to donate whatever you can to this project, as it could be a catalyst for great things in the scene.
First and foremost, the decr-1000a is a device that is essential to any quality homebrew being produced. Without it, homebrew devs cannot profile their applications in real time, something that will cripple most intensive applications such as gamecube or ps2 emulation, preventing them from ever being viable.
Secondly the Decr-1000a could open up the possibility of dumping the 3.60+ keys as it has a different hardware setup which could make it easier to dump the ram. In addition to this, the Syscon, which remains the last unhacked CPU remaining inside the PS3 could be exploited on the 1000a system, as it has a prototype syscon with a completely different update process.
Third and finally, the decr-1000a motherboard remains somewhat of a mystery, with only some very old pictures that are available. It would be an incredible asset to the ps3 developer wiki if we could get more information as well as pictures of this enigmatic device.
If you still believe in the ps3 scene, I urge you to donate whatever you can to this project, in order to secure a bright future for devs and end users alike.
