I enjoyed seeing a throwback wololo link enough that I think maybe it should stay, but the real (linked) research is at https://github.com/mcidclan/psp-media-engine-cracking-the-un... and stands well enough on its own that you don't really need the article.

I also sort of disagree with the premise of the article; the ME was not only well known but well used, even back in the day. The cool part here is the VME, which looks like a configurable block pipeline of different DSP elements. This is a pretty common architecture in codec processors but they don't get reversed very often.

Seeing Wololo posted is a blast from the past.

Tried to read article, screen was overtaken with ads I could not get rid of.

Next.
