Ok Im not claiming Im going to be the first or next to release a 3.73 CFW.....
As a complete n00b where would I begin to gain the knowledge, what is the the first few things I should learn and concentrate on? I want to do this simply to expand my brain and because it interests me. Can anybody point a n00b in the right direction?
Lemme rephrase.... If I wanted to create a 3.55 CFW or any cfw period
I dont wanna crush your dreams but dont bother..... if you dont know how to program (especially in this case) C++ or dont know anything about compiling Sony's SDK it takes a while to learn C++ and code... hell even for the most shittiest games like a cheap 2d homebrew game that is a TON of code an debugging... just leave it to the pros
Trust me
Crap, well thanks, i guess ill move to something else, maybe case modification

the beginning is always a good place to start ;)
Anybody have a compiler preference for the C++ guide and tutorials im using?
A college education would do wonderfully, for a start. Take courses in Java and Pascal, if for no other reason than to understand the mechanics of what it is you're trying to manipulate. Follow it up with in-depth training in both coding and execution for C++, for application and theory. I would also suggest calculus and trigonometry if you're trying to learn encryption/decryption, which is vital for almost anything you might want to do with reverse engineering or programming for an existing framework. Finally, wrap it up with some study in how, exactly, the ps3 itself works. Everything from boot order and chip functions to basic applications and memory offsets. PS3devwiki has a decent amount of information for learning how to manipulate the PS3 system, but it's only useful if you already have an understanding of the terms and how they relate to what you're researching.Quote:

Thank you bunches!
