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 really think they should make a n0bel pr1ze for these people. a annual award to those people that find and create these things.

    what amazing job, well done.

    Yeah, but the PS2 Linux kit is carefully controlled by Sony. It doesn't exactly give you direct access to the system. I want absolute control of a PS2, including writing directly to the hardware registers.
