Alternate Loading Methods
As the kernel can start the root filesystem from any of a number of different sources (over a network, from an SD card or from a DVD for example), the initial challenge is to load the kernel; although the original mechanism grew from the original PSO exploit, its later development was shaped by the development of first the anaconda recode, and then a method called SDLoad. SDLoad was reliant upon the fact that the Action Replay disc, produced by Codejunkies, allows the user to alter code in a game in Memory. By inserting the appropriate Action Replay codes, it was possible to modify the action replay software in memory to allow booting from an SD card.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate, loading and/or methods:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Nitrates and phosphates for ammunition. The seeds of war. They’re loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home, the world will die a little more.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries. How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
