PSGroove

This is the PSGrooPIC, an open-source reimplementation of the psjailbreak exploit for PIC18F microcontrollers.

It is known to work on:

• PIC18F2450 (28 pins / 16KB Flash) - (PS3Break/USBreak)
• PIC18F2455 (28 pins / 24KB Flash)
• PIC18F2550 (28 pins / 32KB Flash)
• PIC18F4450 (40 pins / 16KB Flash)
• PIC18F4455 (40 pins / 24KB Flash)
• PIC18F4550 (40 pins / 32KB Flash)

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.

No one involved in maintaining the psgroopic git is responsible for or has any involvement with any existing usb dongles sporting "psgroove" / "psgroopic" in its name. Thank you for your understanding.

Cloning

The repository uses the Hermes Payload.

Configuring

This version of PSGrooPIC has been modified to directly use Hermes payload instead of a single hardcoded Payload for much greater flexablity.

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 "Install Package Files" menu option in the game menu.

Notes

A programmed dongle won't enumerate properly on a PC, so don't worry about that.

Credits

Special thanks to the developers of PSGroove (http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove), who did the real hard work by reversing the code from the original PSJailbreak.

Thanks to the developers of PSGrooPIC, which made possible the port to the PIC18F, to the people who keep it updated by integrating the latest payloads and also to the ones that have contributed to integrate PL3 on it. (J1M, ElSemi, TSC, laichung, Noltari).

And finally, thanks to kakarotoks for creating and maintaining PL3, the open source payload which makes simpler the update of our devices.
