PSGroove TI-84+ Port Updated With New Version

Brandon Wilson have returned to the PS3 Jailbreak scene with vast improvement to his ever popular PSGroove port, the TI-84 calculator port. The most significant update his the support to Marcan’s AsbestOS Linux, read more in his website to know more about his calculator port.


The latest version brings about several improvements:
  • Current status is displayed at the bottom of the LCD:
    status PSGroove TI 84+ Port Updated With New Version
  • In addition to the usual jailbreak method, you can now install and uninstall a “hook” that allows the jailbreak to work at any point in the calculator’s OS:
    menu PSGroove TI 84+ Port Updated With New Version
    This even works when the calculator is off; the PS3 will turn it on as it enumerates USB devices, and the calculator will shut off after about 5 minutes of inactivity (through the calculators’ existing Automatic Power Down feature).
    Now you can shove the calculator and the USB cable behind the PS3 and forget it’s there.
  • External payloads are now supported. This means you don’t have to re-assemble the application to use a payload different from the official PSGroove one.
    These payloads are stored as calculator AppVars and selected through PS3JB’s options menu:
    options PSGroove TI 84+ Port Updated With New Version
    These options are stored in an AppVar called PS3JBOPT, which can be archived to keep it safe from RAM resets.
    To convert from a binary file containing the payload data to an AppVar, you can use To8XV (a VB.NET 2.0 program) found here, or you can create your own.
  • AsbestOS is now supported. The stage 1 and stage 2 payloads are specified in the options menu as above. To use the standard jailbreak exploit, select “None” as the stage 2 payload (which is the default).
