PS3 RSX Data Dumps!

I have released a dump of the PlayStation 3 Graphic Libraries for the RSX Hardware in the PS3.

These are not machine readable, they are human readable.

They are being released because there is a wealth of information in there, and hacking NVidia GPU's is a specialist field. Hopefully the appropriate experts can take these files and provide necessary information to allow full RSX access from under linux. I am quite confident this is possible from my cursory scan of this data and the functions that exist in the PS3 Hypervisor. (Especially the undocumented RSX Register access functions).

In any event I will continue to work on this area.

Note, these files are from code that runs UNDER GameOS. Linux does not run under GameOS, it runs directly under the Hypervisor, so there are no Hypervisor calls in this data.

The data certainly reveals the structure of critical memory structures, register layout, etc.

Nothing is impossible in these days.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

A H.U.G.E step for PS3 hacking.

YaY, this is more interesting than boring Backups. I hope this allows people to look into the unreleased specs of the RSX as well and hopefully access to XDR ram under Linux.

Do we have a place like Xbins for PS3?

We all know that all Xbox new and release are from Xbox-scene, Is there a place already like this for PS3, I know we have PS3 scene but I don't see much posted forum on this site.
