Well modifying your xmb and core system files not to mention the disabling of features like HDCP, Enviroment settings for dev mode or retail mode, modifying your fan speed without opening your ps3, pirated games etc All this is done by 3rd party applications and that counts as another thing. Hombrew like movian streaming, CDG player for karaoke, retro emulators the list goes on and on.
RTME (Real time memory editing) Custom VSH Notifications etc
Changing the name of a game or demo using (again) homebrew
Trophy hacking, as well...which still hasn't been fully explored. We've barely cracked the surface of what we can do with trophy hacking. We haven't cracked the tropsys.dat file, been able to fix synced folders, figure out why accounts starting with letters in their params are incompatible, or even how to bypass server shut downs to load trophies. If someone can figure out how to locates for games based on region, then why can't someone make a tool to find a game's pkg based on title, like Aero-Cross, Driftopia, NBA Jam, etc. Too much unknowns, and not one competent programmer wants to try a hand at it.
