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:
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“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)
“All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
