SKFU reported on PS3 Custom Firmware, and today Spanish PS3 developer
JaicraB has made it a reality and released a PS3 PS3 USB Custom Firmware Loader!
Download:
PS3 USB Custom Firmware Loader v0.2
To quote from his site (linked above), roughly translated:
"This program allows to simulate the dev_flash from USB. Allowing a Custom Firmware. We may modify the files of our new dev_flash (USB) as we please, without running the risk of throwing away the PS3.
It is a beta version, probably find bugs. I will continue working on it when time permits me. Remember that suffers no risk to the console. All that is changed the new dev_flash'll be doing really USB.
Requirements:
• Syscall PEEK and POKE.
Installation:
1. Copy the "FTP server" the entire contents of the / dev_flash the USB (the root).
2. Copy the JaiC_USB_FIRM_LOADER.pkg also the root of the USB.
3. Install the package.
Use:
1. Insert the USB into the PS3.
2. Run USB LOADER FIRM. After a few seconds will return to the XMB. The new firmare is loaded.
You will see that whatever you do the USB will be launched. Ideal for amending RCO, exchange modules, as you imagine.
IMPORTANT!
Do not update while in Live Firmware Mode. It will reboot, setting the original dev_flash back, and then it will update! Do not update from USB FIRMWARE LOADER!"
I tried adding game_bg_overlay=0 to the config.bin file but that didn't work either. There used to be a view mode called "Game list (user backgro...
Made a 1:1 dump of the data through awesome filebrowser and also one through winscp. Both didnt work with my psgroove 1.1 (at90usbkey, source compiled on my own).
And here comes the solution: I flashed Hermes version of the psgroove to my at90 and voila: The previously made dump boots flawlessly!
So it seems like some functions, payloads or anything i cant even imagine seems to lack in this version (compiled the source of psgroove 1.1 from github).
By the way, is there an tut on how to setup the linux environment on an windows machine to compile this new sort of grooves which seem to need software that is just available for linux? As it seems to be needed for further releases of the psgroove or his mods would be great if anybody can make a tut for the not so experienced linux users
you have to change one some line in the category_game_tool2.xml
These three parts I have edited so it is possible PS1 games to play. because my 80GB PS3 not PS2-supported, for the PS2 have the support it should work.
It can also, optionally, the entries should be added for PS2_CD.
There'm still looking at the possibilities on which it places to change settings so that also run PS1 backups, and the functional support for the PS2 I have not I discovered assume that it is located in a file SPRX.
Perhaps one of the following SPRX files it could be.
dev_flash/vsh/module/
bdp_disccheck_plugin
game_ext_plugin
game_indicator_plugin
gamedata_plugin
gamelib_plugin
ps: i don't have a slim so i can't test... works on 60GB fat so far
