Amazing work. Hector Martin (@marcan42) is an incredibly talented hacker. I still remember his post for enabling the hardware virtualization of the CPU in his laptop, an Acer Aspire 5930 [1], that had it disabled in the BIOS, and it was not user serviceable (I had a similar laptop, with smaller screen, so his post was useful for me). Also his hacks and comments in a Spanish forum [2] for the PS2, Nintendo consoles, and others were plenty insightful. Then the PS3 hack. And now, getting Linux working in the PS4, even with 3D acceleration (without help, just with few specs found in the web (!!!)). It is mind blowing :-)

- yo-code-sucks 10y agoIt doesn't take a genius to enable a CSR (CPU Specific Register), intel has the documentation online.

Wow, I remember this too. I had a similar model (a 5760 I think?) which was my main "work" laptop at the time. I remember running this in the vague hope that it would work knowing full well that I could have a brick on my hands and it did work, flawlessly. Amazing how these things pop up again years down the line.
