PSGroove released, an open-source method to jailbreak your PS3
|
The long wait is over folks as homebrew coder extraordinaire
Mathieulh and his team releases PSGroove, "an open source
reimplementation of the PS JailBreak exploit for AT90USB and related
microcontrollers."
But before you proceed folks, make sure you know what you are
doing as this is totally a do-it-yourself method. You'll also need to
purchase a small board, either the Teensy++ USB Development Board or AT90USBKEY,
to jailbreak your console although some reports now claim that the code
can also be ported to the PSP and TI-84 Plus Calculator.
Developer's note:This is the PSGroove, an open-source reimplementation of the psjailbreak exploit for AT90USB and related microcontrollers.
It should work on:
AT90USB162
AT90USB646
AT90USB647
AT90USB1286
AT90USB1287
ATMEGA32U4
… and maybe more.

software is not intended to enable piracy, and such features have been
disabled. This software is intended to allow the execution of unsigned
third-party apps and games on the PS3.
CloningThe repository uses the LUFA library as a submodule. To clone, use something like:
git clone git://github.com/psgroove/psgroove.git
cd psgroove
git submodule init
git submodule update
ConfiguringChip
and board selection can usually be handled in the Makefile. In
particular, update the MCU, BOARD, and F_CPU lines. Suggested values:
Teensy 1.0:
MCU = at90usb162
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000
Teensy++ 1.0:
MCU = at90usb646
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000
Teensy 2.0:
MCU = atmega32u4
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000
Teensy++ 2.0:
MCU = at90usb1286
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000
AT90USBKEY / AT90USBKEY2:
MCU = at90usb1287
BOARD = USBKEY
F_CLOCK = 8000000
Board-specific notesTeensy
boards only have one LED, so it will turn off when the exploit succeeds
rather than turn green. Older Teensy 1.0 boards also have the polarity
inverted. In general, a LED should do something when the board is
powered, and do something different when theexploit works.
BuildingOn Linux, use the AVR GCC toolchain (Debian/Ubuntu package: gcc-avr). On Windows, WinAVR should do the trick.

ProgrammingNow
program psgroove.hex into your board and you're ready to go. For the
AT90USBKEY and other chips with a DFU bootloader preinstalled, you can
get the dfu-programmer tool, put your board in programming mode, and run
make dfu
For the Teensy boards, you probably have to use the Teensy Loader software.
UsingTo use this exploit:
• Hard power cycle your PS3 (using the switch in back, or unplug it)
• Plug the dongle into your PS3.
• Press the PS3 power button, followed quickly by the eject button.
After
a few seconds, the first LED on your dongle should light up. After
about 5 seconds, the second LED will light up (or the LED will just go
off, if you only have one). This means theexploit worked! You can see
the new "Install Package Files" menu option in the game menu.
NotesA programmed dongle won't enumerate properly on a PC, so don't worry about that.
