NORway v0.3 Released - PS3 NOR Flasher Using Teensy++ 2.0

Submitted by greg; August 10, 2011


Now this is a real hack -- a hardware hack from judges that'll let you downgrade/upgrade PS3 firmwares at will. Of course though you require a NOR-enabled PS3 (not NAND), a Teensy++ 2.0 board and a steady hand backed by serious tech skill. If you're fully equipped, take a look at the pictures below... Yeah, that's what you're getting into. There is a README.txt included in the git repository that details everything; in fact the git repo has everything you'll need for the software side. git clone git://git.dashhacks.com/norway/norway.git Or view the git repo at git-hacks. The NORway project is actually a Teensy++ 2.0 port of "noralizer" -- a NOR flashing tool by fail0verflow's marcan. And neither judges, marcan nor (no pun intended) Dashhacks are responsible if you damage your PS3 when attempting this. CHANGELOG
