PlayStation 2 Independence: The PS1DRV Hack

posted in Misc. News by zushiba on Aug 16th, 2003

On Friday, August 15th, 2003, Marcus R. Brown released information on how to run unsigned code on the PS2 without a modchip
Here is the news as it reads from his site
"To make a long story short, the exploit allows anyone with a memory card and a valid, legal PS1 disc to hijack the boot process and run any piece of code.
Absolutely no modification to the system is necessary to use the exploit (my only working PS2 is not moddded, and I have developed and tested the exploit on this
machine). All one really needs is a way to send the files to the memory card to
enable the exploit."
