PS3 hacked - So what now?

[akhlaq768]

One thing which I really dont understand,

We have the latest fastest running game console in the world, and every single time we jailbreak one, the first thing people think about is how to play SNES games,

People people, a super nintendo with like 20 games is about ?30quid ANYWHERE. buy that god damn it,

you face the risk of getting banned/bricking the console/ you spend at least ?20 which is what I paid for my jailbreak on the dongle, some people spend another ?50 on a external HDD, to play games from n64 or supernintendo.

am I missing something, I mean I play those games on my supernintendo or the N64, they are so cheap now that I have mst games so why have it on my PS3?

Am i missing something?

great point

not really , there no risk of bricking consoles and emulating old machines is a good way of testing tweeking and coding hacks and developing homebrew applications

it helps homebrew app makers to fully understand the console and whats possible and not

nothing wrong with abit of retro gaming on a high powered console

especially when creating simple apps like these lead to much bigger and better things

i have alot of respect for people that manage to emulate older machines on the new gen consoles

only good can come of it
