ps1 emulated under linux
Wait wait wait... SteamOS is Linux based.
OMG
ps1 emulated under linux
Here come the multiplayer cheaters. Fun is over when these assholes get their way.
I'm not sure how you leapt from "fail0verflow showed Linux booting on a PS4" to "my multiplayer games are ruined."

Oh wow, never knew this! Now I'll rebuy a PS3 Slim.
Whatever exploit they're doing to run it is going to allow modded firmware to be installed. That leads to cheats and piracy (these hackers love piracy the most).

They are not using the latest firmware to run Linux, we don't know if it's even possible with current firmwares.
Solid GPU, weak CPU, and I'm not sure if there are any drivers that would take advantage of the full GPU feature set. I'm hopeful though, being able to play some of my old PC games on a PS4 is really intriguing because I don't have a powerful PC (just a SP3).Man i would love to buy a second PS4 and turn it into a Steam Machine. I dont think i would risk my main console, got WAYYYY too much invested on the PS Store
Any ideas/thoughts on how a PS4 would perform as a Steam console?
You said the exact same shit about the Wii U exploitable and for people to say goodbye to splatoon. Despite cheats already existing way before that specific exploitable and somehow magically Splatoon isn't a cheater fest and nobody needed to say goodbyeWhatever exploit they're doing to run it is going to allow modded firmware to be installed.

Unless you can use standard drivers (mainly GPU drivers) on PS4 Linux, probably not that good. I think you're better off buying a PC instead.Man i would love to buy a second PS4 and turn it into a Steam Machine. I dont think i would risk my main console, got WAYYYY too much invested on the PS Store

There statement about the security on ps4 makes me think this is quite different to what cturt did with the browser, as in something inherently broken by Sony.

Well, "crap enough" could mean that theres one mistake (which we already know about, since they got kernel access), so it might not be that big of a fail/funny in that sense Pity that they didnt give any info regarding the security, would be interesting to see."ps4 security is crap enough that you don't need us for that"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! it's x86, i suppose this don't help!
PSY・S;190795992 said:don't games run worse under steam os than windows?
indeed this seems to be an hardware hack, like other hackers have said to wololo!
I really hope they touch on why the security is bad. I think on PS3 it wasn't generating a random number when it should or something ridiculous?
The Wii conference they did about the password on the drives still kills me.
They're executing this exploit through the web browser (i just watched the presentation). They click on the user manual under the PS4 settings, which opens the web browser.There statement about the security on ps4 makes me think this is quite different to what cturt did with the browser, as in something inherently broken by Sony.

After there statement regarding homebrew on consoles and why they didn't do any more hacking to WiiU and the fact that there is nothing on their homepage, one might wonder how easy it was to hack the console.
Also I don't think they will release anything for PS4 regarding the hack. I guess it was a small attempt, they achieved what they wanted and talked about it and that's it.
But of course I hope for more groups/hackers to enable Linux on PS4!
any youtube link on non-flash link to the keynote?

There's a big exploit coming out for Wii U fairly soon. They just said there was not really much appetite for Wii U, so they released a way to use the extra cores in vWii mode instead.
fail0verflow said:[...]
The same goes, by the way, for the Xbox Durango and the Playstation Orbis. Theyre both glorified PCs. With Valves Steam Box coming up, there will be little advantage to either of the first consoles other than potentially new input devices and exclusive games. And the Steam Box will almost certainly be hackable with trivial to no effort.

As long as online cheating and trophy fuckery can be prevented or is impossible this is good.
I think maybe people think this could be a hardware hack because the presenter (not a part of Fail0verflow, as far as i know) said that it was a hardware hack. I think hes just referring to that its a hardware hack in terms of PS4 (the hardware) being hacked.
Other hackers, contacted about this announce, have told us that the Fail0verflow hack is probably hardware based and a release would not necessarily be convenient anyway.
As soon as you get file access, trophy fuckery is happening. AFAIK, Sony thought once again that just having an unencrypted trophy file would be A-OK so just like PS3 and Vita, trophy fuckery will exist.
Microsoft is the software company of the two while Sony is the hardware one, I wouldn't be surprised if the Xbox was more difficult to crack.
Maybe they don't give a shit about trophies?

Oh, interesting! Any details on this, links?
Yes the Xbox and the 360 were notoriously hard to crack. Also windows is ever harder still!

It will if Sony repeats last generation where they rarely banned anyone unless you were very obvious about your CFW PS3 and didn't take precaution before going online.Whatever exploit they're doing to run it is going to allow modded firmware to be installed.

Seriously, who cares if someone else has trophies?
I don't even care about trophies I get but some people are perfectionists and can only get satisfaction from 100% games. Why do you care if other people do more than you?
Modded PS3 was the modded Xbox 2.billion

The original Xbox was not hard to crack. Modded Xbox's were going around a year or two into the lifecycle of the Xbox. With softmodded ones came after as well.Yes the Xbox and the 360 were notoriously hard to crack. Also windows is ever harder still!
