PlayStation 3 Software Development Kit leaked!!
An anonymous source has recently revealed the complete PS3 development kit. This is only a report of the leak itself, as it is highly illegal to possess and/or to distribute the contents unless you're a fully fledged developer. Read on for the info.
quote:
· Compiling and running code via 'acquired' Dev hardware
· Gaining a better understanding how the PS3 console works
· Encrypting our own Debug executables (make_fself: essentially normal PS3 ELF -> PS3 SELF [sec ure/crypted]) on Dev boxes
· Identifying and examining $CE calls/functions- this will lead to the creation of a "free" PS3$DK as it did with PS2 (inside joke: simply remove "sce_" flags and it's legal!)
· Through disassembly, sort the exact ELF->SELF method; extract Debug encryption keys
· PS3 Cell File System: In this v1.60 $DK, mkfs.self (CELL FS format utility) comparison VS from v0.50-v0.80 $DK mkfs.elf (which weren't encrypted, so can be ran and disassembled)
· Make and store games on a Dev box via $DK.. including signing them for Dev machines
· PSX(PS1)/PS2 region settings; future region switching shouldn't be difficult based on a preliminary examination
· Other areas of peak interest thus far: Cell_HW_Doc-xxx.zip and iRSX-HW_Doc-xxx.zip (hardware documentation packages)
· A LOT more- the above is from an extremely brief peek only
Finally, for non-Devs even some of the related tools seem interesting as well:

SEdit-1200.zip SEdit

this will lead to loaders custom firmware and the like..
once the hacker/devs get to grips with it
many possibiltys with this
