PS3 Hacked Using Official Controller

Posted by timothy on from the next-stop-no-controllers dept.

YokimaSun writes "The PS3 Hacking War took on a new turn few days ago with Sony releasing a new firmware that blocks USB devices, supposedly aimed at cloned PS3 Joypads, but more than likely to stop the efforts of hackers. Today the PS3 is now hackable using its own Sixaxis/DualShock 3 Controllers. How will Sony stop people now from playing emulators on the PS3?"

      "B A" is vital to the hack. Maybe your controller's already been patched by Sony?
