PS3 Hypervisor Dumped via Parallel/LPT1 Port with XorHack!

[PS4 News]

I merged your post here, but to date nobody has been able to source 'RadioShack' parts to accomplish this so like most here you will probably be stuck ordering them online.

The good news is this will trigger the exploit the same as the more expensive methods, so you won't really be limited if you decide to go this route instead.

Ah, thanks.

The problem with ordering them online is, well, I do not have anyway to purchase products online. I have checked local, but I live in a pretty small area, and a programming shop is pretty low priority, and RadioShack is the only place that sells parts like that.

Oh well, I guess I will just wait for a softmod, assuming there ever will be one.

I hear ya... most people who don't have a real credit card they can use will either use PayPal or buy a disposible pre-paid credit card, or one of those overpriced "gift" Visa credit cards that can be used anywhere.

I am sure you have already thought of this though...

Yeah, if I were to buy a prepaid card, I would be paying more, and at that point I would just take the parts off of old electronics... Would I be able to use an LTP port taken off an old computer or printer?

[CodeKiller]

you can use even paper clip to connect to lpt-port (or alternatively i suggest to use old serial-port-header with the DB25 connector).. but come on, it so cheap, that even the money-transfer cost more money, than the components itself. But to be fair, the best way is to extract npn transistor with about the same spec (actually just the speed is important).

Just be very careful, as you can ruin your pc, ps3 or both!

And could I find the parts at, like, RadioShack?

Radio Shack has the 2N3904 transistor in stock. Catalog #: 276-2016 Cost 79 cents.

Alright, so would I do this the same way I would doing it Geohot's way?

And where can I buy the parallel/ltp1?

If you mean a connector - Radio Shack, digikey, jameco - pretty much any electronics supplier will have it for a few bucks. If you have an old parallel cable, you could map out the wires to the pins, and use that if needed!

I only have cords, and printers with parallel ports. No spare ports.

Your best bet may be to either get / build an old PC with a parallel port (even a old laptop would work) - or use a different (standalone) method to trigger it.
