Mathieulh and his crew have released their "free" version of the PS Jailbreak code.
To the dismay of the majority of people waiting for it, though, the team have disabled the ability to install games. If running unsigned homebrew code is your thing, though, grab a Teensy 2.0, Teensy++ USB Development Board v2.0 or an AT90USBKEY and have fun. PSGroove is an open-source version of the PSJailBreak exploit for AT90USB and related micro-controllers.
PSGroove for now allows the very same features as the PS JailBreak but without backup manager support, you can also now remove the dongle.
Download: HERE (Compiled Open Source is attached - NO BACKUP MANAGER INCLUDED)
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.
This 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.
Configuring
Chip 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 notes
Teensy 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 the exploit works.
Building
On Linux, use the AVR GCC toolchain (Debian/Ubuntu package: gcc-avr). On Windows, WinAVR should do the trick.
make clean
make
Programming
Now 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.
Using
To 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 the exploit worked! You can see the new "InstallPackage Files" menu option in the game menu.
To load files, you will need TEENSY Loader (for TEENSY boards) can be found here. If you are using a AT90USB, you can download ATMEL FLIP Utility here.
Once you have your board, you can also purchase a USB Male Type A to Mini USB 5-Pin Adapter to connect to your PS3. You can buy from DealExtreme:
*NOTE: No illegal files are included. Link above contains open source files. DO NOT POST FILES OR LINK TO ILLEGAL FILES. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BAN! This is solely for homebrew purposes.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, Director of Programming for Microsoft Gaming, has posted a video on YouTube showing off a new Xbox 360 controller. One of the newest feature is a "transformable" D-Pad. The D-Pad changes from a "DISC" to a "PLUS" with a simple twist. In addition, the analog sticks have a concave design and the A, Y, X and B buttons, no longer have colored buttons...instead, they are grey.
The controller will be available on November 9, 2010 for $64.99 in the US and sometime in February 2011 for Europe. It is only bundled with the Play-N-Charge kit and will replace current wireless controller in November. So if you're looking to get a new controller, I suggest waiting another 2 months.

However, we do want to thank our loyal members and give you the opportunity to lock in your current price with an additional discount, so now would be a good time to renew your subscription.

Below is a video of a gamer installing a old 20GB HDD from their old Xbox 360 into their Xbox 360 Slim. It may take some patience as there is not enough finger room to help you guide the HDD. You'll have to "drop" it in and hope that it lands on the SATA connector ports inside the Slim.
The other hardest part is removing it from the Xbox 360 Slim as there is no way to grip the HDD with your fingers. In the video, it shows that pliers were used (not recommended). I'm sure you will (or someone) will come up with a better way. Kind of like a pull tab with tape? (you heard it hear first as a suggestion!)
Its been confirmed by others that not only the 20GB works but the 60GB, 120GB, all the way up to 250GB. But take a look at the video and see for yourself.
*Note: Performing this may void your warranty. Perform at your own risk.
