Hacking Installing PSGroove (Help)

[Sacohen9665]

I got my Blackcat USB JTAG Kit PCB v 1.7 today and I'mhaving problems flashing it.
I'm running Windows Vista and whenever I try to connect Flip 3.4.2 via USB to the Blackcat I get the following error. "Could not open USB device".
I have found reply's about how to fix it for Windows 7, but not Vista.

I tried connecting to it using the Blackcat software, but no luck.

I just get a message saying that it is not connected.

The drivers are installed.

I got a bit further (I Guess).
Now the BlackCat software says...
Blackcat USB Status: Connected
Device Mode: Enhanced JTAG
Board firmware version: 6.01
Connected to device: Error connecting to target board.

Still no connection with AmtelFlip 3.4.2

Any help is appreciated.

I know this won't be a permanent fix but you could always try running to the library or borrowing a friend's laptop to do it.

I'm not sure I'm using the correct drivers.

What frivers should I be using for a Windows Vista system?

I also have the availability of using Windows XP (a completly different machine)

I tried the Blackcat drivers and Blackcat software on that system and got the same thing.

With Blackcat Build 250 it said...

Blackcat USB Status: Connected
Device Mode: Enhanced JTAG
Board firmware version: 6.01
Connected to device: Error connecting to target board.

With the Blackcat Build 247 it said...

Blackcat USB Status: Connected
Device Mode: Enhanced JTAG
Board firmware version: 6.01
Connected to device: No Power. Chek power.

The Blackcat had power both the read and blue light were on.

Amtel Flip still would not detech it at all.

I finally got it working.
It tried various drivers and finally found one that worked.
I just can't remember which one it was right now.

But it's working , I flashed the Blackcat and I'm going to try it on the PS3 tonight.
