Fanjita did reply on this.
To put to rest some speculation:
This runs arbitrary unsigned code, in user-space. i.e. it's a full-on code hack, it doesn't just modify a few data bytes.
It's not a window to kernel-mode, much to everyone's disappointment
It's GTA-specific, and apparently region-specific and firmware-specific. But it should be possible to modify it for other firmwares and regions.
To my knowledge, Edison doesn't have access to insider info. He's just spent weeks understanding the save-game format, and the ways in which it can be manipulated.
This is an exciting exploit, and hopefully lots more good stuff will come from it.
------------------------------------
Looks rather interesting. At least this is an "exploit" compare to all the other BS which has no progress or proof. People get so hype and excited over a stupid crash. Look! Now this 2.6 FW everyone like hey should I upgrade, etc. Would it hurt to not upgrade for the time being?
The freaking 2.6fw is not a drug. Just wait and see, let those diehard anti-homebrew users test them. Those who wanna use homebrew should just chill off.
