Hacking $24 PS3 Jailbreak

[XXLANCEXX]

Ahoy lasses, I See Sony's Border Control coming to seize the operation from pirates :/

Just so people know. Matthiew and his team are great programmers and are interested in homebrew on the PS3, not piracy. As such they are intentionally taking out the parts, like bddvd component that the backup manager uses. Consider their contribution to be what the HomeBrew Channel provides on the Wii.

Looks like the code is out now according to Mathieulh's Twitter account. It's called psgroove and the backup loading feature has been disabled.

Do you just put it on a USB stick?

No. On the page it states what chips and boards are supported. The Teensy for example is a usb development board that you can flash it to.

I thought it was the software(backup manager) that allowed you to backup games not the hardware(psjailbreak), or am I wrong?

Hopefully my wife don't throw it out like she did my stuff for xbox jtag. Stupid bitch.

XD
make sure she keeps the cat away from it ;p

When this "homemade" one launches the PS3 into Dev mode, it purposely doesn't enable the BD emulator, which means you can't run official games (even if you did back them up), just homebrew.

Maybe you ruined her life and she was just trying to get back at you.

Talks about doing this with jailbroken iPhones and PSPs now.

Would be nice if something came out for Android phones also, if possible.

I saw mention of using a Ti-84+ as well, I thought it was a joke but if it turns out to not be... wow.

 

[jalaneme]

hmm very interested in this, i will see how this progress, i am interested in what "apps" that can develop for this device.

Thank you for your order!  Digi-Key has processed and shipped salesorder
#XXXXXXX, invoice #XXXXXXXX, to you

fyi Some sites already have PsGroove patched to work with backups. not sure if it fully works yet as I am unsure if it requires someone to complile some sort of software like Backup manager, but I'm just relaying the info. Patched version is already out.

 

[jurai]

the psgroove team is apparently gonna try to port so you can run it from a hacked PSP

Thanks for repeating that, incase people didn't see the first time...

So if I were to take my sisters Ti 84 plus calc i could use it to start the backup manager with the modded version of psgroove which allows for bd component and give the calc back to my sister or do i need to keep it in during the game.
