97w ago - Today PlayStation 3 developer
uf6667 has
Tweeted news announcing a new PS3 hardware flasher project called ProgSkeet.
Currently the official site ProgSkeet.com doesn't offer any details beyond the
ProgSkeet PS3 Install Diagrams and
ProgSkeet Multi-Console Install Diagrams, however, he did provide some pictures (below, with high-res
HERE) of the ProgSkeet device and the
ProgSkeet Drivers,
ProgSkeet Flasher Software and
ProgSkeet Flasher Software Update followed by some more updates in
THIS ongoing Forum thread.
Based on them, ProgSkeet appears to utilize an Actel A3P125 IC (datasheet
HERE) which is common among modchips due to its security, and offers enough address lines for at least 2 (if not more) NANDs with 16 general purpose lines and boasts 125,000 system gates with 133 maximum user I/O lines. It also offers JTAG pads, presumably used for programming the device.
Upon completion, ProgSkeet will allow users to downgrade and jailbreak their PS3 similar to the
Infectus Mod along with backing up and reflashing the console's memory.
More details will be posted as they become available on the ProgSkeet project, with a video now posted below and a
ProgSkeet Review for those interested.
I have just recently got the Progskeet v1.2 (Black Tar Edition) and I have managed to install the driver for the Injectus no problem, but when I try and install the driver for the Progskeet I get the message "Unknown USB Device".
I have seen by looking the net a lot of people are having this problem. I was wondering if somebody would be kind enough to do walk through for me please as I am new to the Progskeet and would greatly appreciate some guidance.
P.S. I am just wondering if the problem might be that I am running Windows 7 64 Bit on an Intel machine, as I see that the 64 Bit driver is in a folder marked AMD and doesn't seem to mention Intel. I just thought I'd mention that just in case.
Many thanks for any help!

pedromaiaz - it is recommended to set the delay to 200 instead of 50 as your video. however if your using clips i would strongly recommend you not use them as they are unreliable at best. soldering a nor is a very easy job.
i'm currently soldering a nand and by geez its a hard job. all you need is the correct number and length of wires. i always use 10 cm lengths and, once checked for shorts or bad soldering, i have never had a failure reading or writing however that was with a 1.0 so i'm eager to see how the 1.2 fares against a nand.
