PS2 Exploit Allows Running of Unsigned Code

Posted by michael on from the game-on dept.

DrEldarion writes "This man has figured out a way to make the PS2 run unsigned code without a modchip. "To make a long story short, the exploit allows anyone with a memory card and a valid, legal PS1 disc to hijack the boot process and run any piece of code.""

    I doubt many people are going to latch onto the idea of running unsigned code on their ps2. It's a much better process on the xbox, and the things you can do with and xbox are endless.

    Here is a page that purports to be the true history of the Natalie Portman troll. It is regretfully unfinished, but a great read for as far as it goes.
