IMO its a waste, but its good to see the community working on it for people who maybe don't have the skill to do other things like building their own device or maybe don't have the money to spend on a device. Since they already have a cell phone capable of doing the hack, then so be it.
Im just saying, everytime I flash a new kernel or rom, it seems my battery life starts getting wacky and I have to recalibrate my phone's battery everytime. You know how much it sucks to see your phone drop 10% in like 15 minutes or less when you flash something new?
This solution just doesn't seem to be for me. I am building boards with PIC18F2550 and flashing them with my programmer. This is a better solution, at least for myself.

That's all you need, and you don't need some of the resistors, basically anything connecting to pins 21-27 on the PIC is not needed.
Do any of your posts on xda construe optimism or not knock one dev or another?
I don't even have a PS3, but I saw an opportunity to help out. Its pretty simple, if it doesn't suit you, then what are you doing in the thread in the first place? I don't recall the title being anything like "How ideal a situation is this for you?"
