The possibility of similar hacks through the Blu-ray player on the PS3 and PS4 (or the CD player on the PS1) are also being examined by the community. But CTurt writes that he's "confident that all other versions also contain these same trivial IFO parsing buffer overflows" and can be exploited with broadly similar methods. The exploit is currently limited to very specific versions of the PS2's DVD player firmware (as of press time, firmwares 3.10 and 3.11, when set to "English") found in later editions of the console and won't work in earlier systems. Building on previous PS2 homebrew efforts like uLaunchELF, it's relatively simple to use that DVD-R to load homebrew software or even full copies of otherwise copy-protected PS2 games. That code can then tell the system to load an ELF file written to a burned DVD-R in the system. For those looking to use ESR launcher/gui and may be having trouble getting it to work, first, make sure you have the iso file esr patched, burn it using imgburn, then instead of launching ESR then inserting the disc once the menu loads, insert your disc, close the tray. Further Reading Modder arrest a reminder that most console hacks are illegalSending carefully formatted data to that function causes a buffer overflow that in turn triggers another badly written function to tell the system to jump to an area of memory with arbitrary, attacker-written code.
