Definitive Guide to Installing PsGroove

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

The guide will be updated as more ports of PsGroove are released.
Some of the guides are incomplete(No Download Links not Numbered etc etc I hope to have the thread fully done by Friday and will update until this gets patched or other stuff.)So yeah dont complain.
I recommend consulting Rydian's FAQ to enable Backup Support.
I recommend installing the stealth backup manager I will not supply it and will not help you find it if you ask you will be ignored.
Even if you use the stealth backup manager is used you may still be detected and banned from psn.

TI-84

Spoiler!

This is the exact readme instructions from the download which you can get here.(http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/)
BACKUP LOADING NOW SUPPORTED.

First, back up any important variables on your calculator that you want to keep to your computer just in case something goes wrong. I'm not responsible if your RAM is reset by using this program!

Next, transfer the "PS3JB.8XK" FLASH application to your TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition using the link software appropriate for your platform:

Mac OS X: TI Connect
Windows : TI Connect or TiLP
Linux : TiLP

For TI Connect under Windows, for example, you can run "TI DeviceExplorer" and drag-and-drop the file into the window, or right-click the file and choose "Send to TI Device."

Once transferred, you should see "PS3JB" in your APPLICATIONS menu (by pressing the [APPS] key). Run the application by highlighting "PS3JB" and pressing [ENTER].

After the splash screen is displayed, press a key to get to the main menu:

1) PS3 Jailbreak
2) View Log
3) About
4) Quit

To jailbreak the PS3 with the PSGroove exploit, select option 1.

Next, make sure your PS3 is OFF (as in unplugged/switched off in the back), and connect one end of a USB cable to your PS3 and the other end to your calculator.

Then switch on or plug back in your PS3, and tap the POWER button quickly followed by the EJECT button. This causes the PS3 to look for USB devices, specifically the calculator.

The calculator's LCD will clear and display "Working...", and several seconds later, the calculator should display "Done" to indicate the exploit was successful.

Once the exploit is successful, you should see an "Install Package Files" option under Game in the XMB.
If the exploit is NOT successful and "Done" isn't displayed, press [ON] to exit the application and try the above steps again.

Blackcat USB

Spoiler!

Download:http://hotfile.com/dl/67801318/9525c...chive.rar.html and Flip Software (Preferably 3.3.1) the rar archive contains an already hex edited compiled source and the backup manager.

First, you gotta put the Blackcat USB in DFU mode by flipping both switches to the 1 and 2 positions.

Push the button on the board, if it shows up as AT90USB162 on your Device Manager, you are in the DFU mode.

Open Flip and select target device AT90USB162.

Now go into Settings and select a communication medium, choose USB. Your Blackcat’s info should show up.

Go to File, hit Load Hex File, and choose the Teensy 1.0 hex file.

Erase, Blank Check it, and write the Hex file onto the chip.
Hit the verify button to make sure it went through ok, if so just hit the “Start Application” button.

Load the Manager.pkg onto the external drive. (Formatted FAT32)

Go to your PS3 and do a complete power cycle. (Turn off completely with switch on back.)

Plug in your Blackcat USB, turn on the switch in back.

Power on your PS3 and hit the eject button immediately. (This is the part most people mess up.)

If you did it right, you will have two folders on your XMB. One that says “Install Package Files” and another “/app_home/PS3_GAME/”.

Plug in your USB drive with the Manager.pkg file. You should now see it in the “Install Package Files” folder. Run it. You should now have Package Manager installed.

Install your original PS3 game and run Package Manager. It will ask you whether you want to load it or back it up. Back it up!

After a few minutes you’ll have a copy of the game showing up. Select it and it will load it to the XMB menu.

Hit the game icon and you can now start enjoying the backup copy of your PS3 game.

Atmel USB

Spoiler!

Just go to the official download site for PSGroove http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove and download the PS Groove HEX file, psgroove.hex

Device Firmware Upgrade

When you received your very own AtMel USB PCB Controller, the first thing to do is to load the HEX file into the on-chip flash memory of your microcontroller. The “Flip” Software is the tool been used to upgrade the device firmware (you can get it for free at USB CD-ROM or Atmel Website).

You must follow these steps carefully and should be completed to allow the device starting DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode and then it will load the HEX file:

1. Install Flip software (Flip Version 3.0 or above is required).
2. Push the RST (Reset) button.
3. Connect the board to the PC using the USB Cable (Standard Ato Mini B)
4. Push the HWB (Hardware Bootloader) button.
5. Release the RST button.
6. Release the HWB button.
7. If your hardware conditions explained above are correct, a new device detection wizard will be displayed. This will happen if you are using Flip for the first time. Please follow the instructions (the INF file is located in the USB sub directory from Flip installation: (“install path:\ATMEL\FLIP\FLIPx.x.x\usb”)

New Device Detection Wizard

Now, on your PC screen, the New Device Detection Wizard will automatically open.

Select “Install from a specific location (Advanced)” and click on Next>
Select “Search for the best drivers in this locations.” and click on “Include this location in the search:”. Now Browse to the path C:\Program Files\ATMEL\FLIP 2.4.2\usb and click on Next>

Then, check your Device Manager. There should be a new icon with the description AT90USBxxx (where xxx is the number of your USB PCB Controller). If there is no icon show, you must start the procedure again.
Ok, now your Device is in DFU Mode. Launch the program Flip to proceed with the flashing process.

Click the chip-icon in the upper left corner and select your device from the up-poping list.
Now click on the USB-Cable icon in the upper left corner to select the communication mode. Select “USB”. In the up-poping window click on “Open” to open the communication port.
Now click on “File” “Load HEX File…” and browse to your ready psgroove.hex file.
Now Load the HEX File (in the Operations Flow Tab Check Erase,Program and Vertify,then Push Run button) A window will pop-up that shows the processes.
After all the processes are done click on the “Start Application” button in the right down corner.

The AT90USB boot loader will detach and jump into the user application when “Start Application” button is pressed.

Congratulations, now your very own PS Jailbreak clone is ready (It is without the Backup Manager support though)

PS: I know this tutorial is not perfect, will update it when neccessary. Thanks to grecomafioso for this.

Getting those backups onto your External a hassle eh? Follow the instructions below and you'll never have to worry again.

Spoiler!

For isos(non PSJailbreak ready):
A. Extract the file. ISO with WinRar
B. Open the file. ISO with UltraISO or a similar program
C. Extract all the contents to a folder named as the "identification" of the game itself
D. Copy the folder (with game ID name), with all its contents extracted in the directory "Gamez" in HDD
E. Open the game with Backup Manager (obviously taking PSJaillbreak)
For PSJailbreak friendly backups:
For use with a jailbroken PS3 and backup manager. Simply copy the extracted
GAMEIDGOESHERE folder to your backup manager "GAMEZ" folder on your external
device. No files larger than 4GB.

Now you've got your handy PSJailbreak installed and know how to get those "Backups" onto your hard drive there's nothing left to do except to play them.

If you have questions please post them me or the community will be glad to help.

I know the DS lite can plug into the PS3 usb ports to charge using the cable that came with the PS3 for charging controllers. I wonder if it would be possible to use DS linux or just compile PSGroove/PSFreedom for use on a M3 Real or other homebrew cart...

[mike_jmg]

anyone knows the size range of the PS3 backups?
