After playing around with Zork III for awhile, I wondered if I could find a more utilitarian purpose for the system in order to justify the considerable space it was taking up in my office. I thought, why not make it into a serial terminal for my Gentoo Linux box? In an effort to save at least a handful of old Apple 8 bits from obsolescence, I documented the procedure and included a few photographs of the result. I tell myself that this is useful, but in practice I just like zoning out in deep digital green."

Submission + - Lumines Exploit Allows Homebrew on All PSPs

YokimaSun writes: Noobz have today released a new exploit in the game Lumines — allowing unsigned code to be ran!, from the article:" Following research in conjunction with Archaemic, Noobz are proud to present the first ever all-firmware exploit for the PSP. Based on Lumines, the "Illuminati" exploit is a user-mode exploit using a buffer overflow in the savedata file — similar to the GTA exploit. That's right — if you've got a legal UMD copy of Lumines, then you can run homebrew on your PSP — whatever the firmware version. That includes v3.50! Right now, the only homebrew is the Hello World demo released below — but in future we intend to release a HEN and downgrader."
