Hi, Guys B7U3 C50SS here with some really exiting news I think you'll like. if you haven't already done it check out
http://www.ps3hax.net/2014/12/a-message-kakarotoko-tells-about-releasing-something-big-on-jan-1st/
I've also posted the entire topic from there here: so you can feel free to post your thoughts about it on the froum like always
(this one, LOL)
In essance what's been going on is: The Famed dev KaKaRoToKo Has announced the by the first of the new year he will be making a special release for all ps3 scene developers and all of his fans alike. But not just them it's for every one who owns a PS3. A few days ago he announced a promise for something BIG to be on it's way January first. (or perhaps even on Christmas day) Something that wouldn't be exactly groundbreaking.. but I find that to be a half truth. a lie in some ways. Because I believe it's part of something bigger.

KaKaRoToKo, Founder of PSFreedom and PL3 just sent a message to PS3 fans. The following is the pastebin where he is saying about releasing a very useful tool that was never released before.
Hello PS3 fans!
I have all these twitter followers who are completely uselessp) and who tell me how to use my twitter (not to “spam” them with useless stuff ) but now is finally the time for you to become useful and do something for a change!
I know though that most of my followers just want to see some ps3 exclusive info, and since I’ve left the ps3 scene, many people were annoyed by some of my ‘non-relevant’ tweets.
So here’s the deal, I’ve entered a few contests on reddit and instructables and I’d be very happy if i won something and you will help me do that!
If you help me win one of the contests, you’ll get something in return that will make you very happy. Hint: It’s a very useful PS3 tool that was never released before.
So here’s what you need to do :
Go to reddit and upvote my comment : http://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/2orjjk/lulzbot_mini_3d_printer_launch_contest/cmsl43u
You can also go to the reddit contest and enter it yourself if you want a chance of winning a Lulzbot Mini 3D printer! http://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/2orjjk/lulzbot_mini_3d_printer_launch_contest/
You will then go to my instructables and vote for them on each of the contests in which they are entered.
To do that, you click on that “Vote” button in the top-right corner, and click the “Vote” button on each of the contests that appear. You will need to login to instructables (you can login using twitter/facebook/google+ directly) when you click the vote button. Also, I’m told that if you have adblock, it might give you an error when you click on vote, so just login first and it should be ok.
I have made 4 instructables here :
http://www.instructables.com/id/Litophanes-How-to-3D-Print-your-photos
http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-3D-printed-Dalek/
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-build-a-custom-bed-of-nails-tester-for-your
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-setup-the-RAMBo-for-your-3D-printer
You can also go to the instructables contests list and see which contest you find interesting (with interesting prizes) and enter it yourself : http://www.instructables.com/contest/
Once you do all of that, you will receive (telepathically) my thanks, and on January 1st, I will be releasing something awesome for the PS3!
Thanks everyone!!!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy new year, etc…
So the day is not that far. Just wait and watch and I really hope this will be something that will finally put some life again in the ps3scene.
UPDATE The dev confirmed that it is what we were all hoping for. Yes it is HEN that might help to run homebrew on newer models.
Hello piplz!
So… wow, a lot of interest after yesterday’s tweet! A little too much even! So first of all, thanks to everyone who voted for my stuff, this is truly amazing to see all the support you guys and gals have given me! It is greatly appreciated! Hopefully I win something! It would be great, but it’s ok if I don’t
I want to make a few points clearer though as I’ve seen some confusion in some of the ps3 forums..
1 – This is not newsworthy! Thanks for those who opened a forum thread about it, that makes sense.. but seeing it in the front page news of some websites was a little too much honestly…
2 – I want to make it clear that I will be releasing regardless of whether I win any contest or not! I said I’d release on January 1st, as a ‘new year gift’, but maybe I’ll do it on december 25th as a christmas gift instead, if I have the time. This would also prevent people from saying “you released after the deadline for the contest so you only released because you won something”.. nope, that’s not it. I announced that I’ll be releasing something AND I also asked for people help for those contests, but it is definitely not a requirement and I never said I’d only release if I won something.
3 – I actually posted links to the contests (reddit/instructables) a few times on twitter but nobody (not many at least) paid it much attention, I’m surprised to see so much reaction now, I hope it’s not just because I announced something ps3 related at the same time, is it?
4 – Some people didn’t like me saying that my twitter followers are useless. Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I just meant it as a joke. I do have a weird sense of humor
5 – The instructables contest winners are chosen by a panel of judges, not by votes, but the judges will only look at the top 50% of entries by votes, so you need to get votes for it to be looked at. The reddit contest does go to the most upvotes (and to the best one chosen by lulzbot), but I’d also like to see some cool new entries into the contest. So I encourage everyone to get their best ideas and to enter the contest as well.
6 – Someone said that asking on twitter for votes is against the reddit rules (reddiquette) and could cause a ban. Actually, I’ve checked all the rules and it only applies to posts, not to comments, and the contest’s rules themselves encourage us to share on social media. After all, the purpose of the contest is for Lulzbot to get publicity and be more known and by sharing the contest on twitter, it helps promote them (and I believe that’s the reason the entry with more votes get a win, and then they chose the best one as a second win to be fair for the creative ideas).
7 – I’m not releasing right away because I actually need time to go through the code and make sure the tool works, the code compiles, there are no missing files, etc.. this is a tool that was written over 3 years ago (first commit was in november 2011 and I worked on it until February 2012 I believe) so I need to look at it again, try to remember how it works and write a README/instructions, etc…
8 – I’ve wanted to release this for a long time now, I stopped working on it 3 years ago but it’s pretty much all finished, but I was waiting to see if there would be a better use for it in the future. This is related to that HEN I spoke about a long time ago, and I even made a poll on twitter a couple of years ago and most of my followers said not to release it until it can be used to hack newer models, but I think it’s time now as I don’t foresee any new developments in that area and I want to release it once and for all and be done with the ps3 scene with nothing holding me back to it.
9 – Yes, I think it’s a useful tool, it includes months of reverse engineering of an area of the PS3 that no one looked at before, but no, this is not something that is groundbreaking, like a new CFW or a way to degrade or something like that. It might open up new possibilities and it will give you more control over your PS3′s content, whether you’re on OFW or CFW.
That’s about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on twitter, I’ll also be answering on this forum : http://playstationhax.it/forums/topic/1050-ps3-developer-kakaroto-needs-your-help/page-2#entry9807 (there are many forums and I don’t want to go through them all, so i’ll just reply on that one).
Take care and thanks again for everyone who voted for me!
KaKaRoTo
and about him saying that this is not news worthy, well our only intention to front page it was so that his message can reach as much people as possible and not everyone look at forums. He is one of the most respected devs in the ps3 scene so i thought it was worth sharing on the front page. So any of you reading this please go over the links provided in the first pastebin and help him win.
He also made a poll about releasing this hen few years back here at Hax. Here is the link . it was unfinished at that time and most of the users agreed to not to release it until its finished
