Despite his legal matters, graf_chokolo is planning a significant development in the weeks to come for the PS3. He is currently working on a custom firmware for 3.55 that would allow users to dual boot between Linux, FreeBSD or etc and GameOS. He also mentions the custom firmware will feature patches to the hypervisor to allow more features. We can only imagine what sort of features he has planned for us, but the coming weeks should be very exciting for PS3 owners.
I plan to implement dual boot feature in HV, just like i did on my PS3 3.41, and you can boot with it either gameos or linux or some other system like freebsd. You won’t need any bootos on gameos for that. I will also patch HV and enable more features Graf Chokolo Is Working On 3.55 HV CFW, With Dual Boot Linux Option
I will do it on PS3 slim, first i will resize HDD and add a partition for Linux there Graf Chokolo Is Working On 3.55 HV CFW, With Dual Boot Linux Option
Expect more features coming in as the HV patching continues. Oh, and he is working on a 3.55 FW only at the moment, although on the newer firmware versions is possible according to graf.
now for 3.55, on other version offsets are different so the code is the same but offsets to patch are different
When ask about the progress of his lawsuit and if he requires more legal funds, graf_chokolo had to say this:
it’s very slow, for now it’s enough i think, thanks
i have no huge news yet regarding lawsuit but soon i think i will have
