What people tend to forget is that this hack will only work with a serious hardware hack, it will only work on systems with OtherOS.. and the decrypting etc will not work in plain OtherOS (otherwise it would have been done ages ago)..

Also people wanting it for hardware video encoding: it's already possible, there are even some companies who sell a whole PS3 package for this..

Maybe you know something like this? The only thing I found for PS Hardware video encoding is MP4 encoding and using PC-PS3 connection.

I would like to connect my USB HDD to PS3, copy movies and encode them quickly to any format that I like with all customizable options and I didn't find anything like this xD

Yup im waitng for some video player with mkv (and other type of video) support +subtitles...

exactly, he wants to doc what the spu/cell is doing so he can eventually rewrite/overwrite the functions (if I understood it correctly) and find a hole

Hey, it's nice to know someone actually knows what's going on. I asked George to explain this a little bit more in depth cause i don't understand where he got all the other parameters. For example:

# Load Quadword (d-form)
00110100 iiiiiiiiii aaaaaaa ttttttt // <- I understand this part
ri {i} << 4 // <- starting from here i become clue less
Parsed "O R, I(R)" lqd {{t}} {|{ri}|} {{a}}
#Change 128 `{{t}}` [[`{{a}}`] + {ri}]
Stop

according to the official documentation:

Load Quadword (d-form)
Requiredv 1.0
The local storage address is computed by adding the signed value in the I10 field, with 4 zero bits appended, to the value in the preferred slot of register RA and forcing the rightmost 4 bits of the sum to zero. The 16 bytes at the local storage address are placed into register RT. This instruction is computed using the following formula:
lqd rt,symbol(ra)
0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 I10 RA RT
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 // all the above makes perfect sense
LSA ← (RepLeftBit(I10 || 0b0000,32) + RA0:3) & LSLR & 0xFFFFFFF0
RT ← LocStor(LSA, 16)

I'm completely clueless

I am not sure either but i think it is a command for EDA to examinate? Couldnt think of something else.
I saw your blog comment with the question; hopefully you will get a awnser soon. If he awnsers, please post it here. Im very interested

[Disane]

you bet i will

I'm dying to know the answer

@Disane Understanding ISDF files. The #Change lines are actually commented out(anything beginning with # is a comment) for now they are less important. Focus on the Parsed lines. This example describes the instruction il Lines from file: 1. # Immediate Load Word 2. 010000001 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ttttttt 3. Parsed "O R, I" il {{t}} {i} 4. Stop 1. A comment for the reader of the file to know the instruction 2. A bitmask to identify it. 0 and 1 must exist in the instruction. i and t are variables created from those regions. 3. Parsed is how to print the disassembled instruction to the user. The first parameter after Parsed is a format string describing the other parameters. O is opcode, R is register, I is immediate. il is the opcode, t is the register), and i is the immediate. Curly braces around i mean value of. Double curly braces around t mean value of register indexed by variable. 4. Stop parsing, this instruction is done.

as i promised, let's help him hack the beast

[Spiker]

Jesus. What programming language is that?

[Disane]

I think i understood how George is interpreting the data in the IBM documentation and converting it into a SPU.isdf meta data for his EDA application.

I'll try and help him out
