I was about to report this thread.

How about a little description of what is this about?

That link looks suspicious af. (No offense meant).

I'm surprised this has not been more heavily reported, this is great news for those who've been patiently waiting for developments on this console

Looks like it allows you to run stuff in SystemOS devmode as administrator, maybe more useful for curiosity and research than actually useful for devmode, you could run stuff as an administrator in a full feature Windows installation anyway.

It doesn't go down into hostOS or security processor so it will be entirely useless in terms of fully cracking the console as an actual console, it won't help dumping/running games.

Still may be good as an angle to look into the SystemOS.

afaik we've been this far at least once and nothing more came out of it.
As impressive as it is, this exploit here was way more interesting for the average user:

And this one also went dark in terms of interest from other people.

fingers crossed that enough talented people get involved with the project and open this wide for all to enjoy
Honestly I doubt it anytime soon

Years ago the SDK and a bunch of other documents leaked on se7ensins for the Xbox one and nothing came from that either

Page tables are the way forward for this console as the PT's only require a certain amount of conditions met to bypass the hypercalls that request privileges. At the point of making A PT meet certain constraints and hypercalls being satisfied a small amount of memory access is all that is needed to setup new PT's in the memory or even existing PT's for a full memory breakout, at this point we are able to read and write arbitrary machine memory and control of the VM should not be to difficult.

Although this is a vulgar and oversimplified explanation it is what will work. The reason nobody wants to hack this console is that Microsoft has taken all the fun out of it by already giving us everything we would want to achieve, they have only really locked down piracy and left nothing else of interest.

Well done MS :)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
