Update: This is not an exploit, it will not lead to any actual hombrew.

Esteemed reverse engineer SKFU is at it again, he has released an Exploit Loader and a hello world.

Here is a quote from his blog:

So here is the result of the simple idea. The first code which is 100% PS3 only compatible. No flash, no bd-java or similar.

This is a beta version of the POC as I'm too tired to finish it now but I don't wanna' let you wait so long. Here you go:

How 2 Use:

1. Install loader.p3t like a common theme file. 2. Put loadme.fu on an USB stick's root dir. 3. Insert USB device into any PS3 USB port. 4. Enable the the theme you just installed before. 5. Hello World.

How It Works:

The PS3 theme file is able to load the loadme.fu script from any USB port. The script is executed. The "loader" is for future-use aswell to load any .fu files which I'll release.

Stay tuned for updates!

Fantastic news! What is a ".fu" file? Is it similar to an ".elf" and how do you compile them? And what firmware will this (not) work on? I assume all firmwares considering its' a theme.
Thanks!

Has anyone tried this yet? Because it seems very exciting!

Good to see SKFU has a sense of humor.

The loadme.fu file is actually some .raf data (Fuji Raw Image File)

What confuses me tho is. Are animated themes supposed to be able to load data from the usb ports because if you remove the USB-Drive and reload the theme the "FU GeoHot" dosent load and you just end up with the default theme but if the USB-Drive is plugged in it actually can load the "FU GeoHot" theme.

So long story short, are animated themes supposed to be able to read from usb?

SKFU has been on this scene since before the PS3 was released, he wont desert anyone.

looking through the loader.p3t it appears that this is just fun and games from SKFU :/

I was hoping that theme's couldnt access USB but it appears that SKFU is just using a debug function that sony allready has implemeted into the theme file

"bgimage.anim_debug./dev_usb/loadme.fu"

Sorry to burst your guys bubble but this is completely useless and is not going to lead to any "zmog IsO loader!". Might be a fun little candy but this to be honest is just a hype generator.
