chaos personified
The Build:
First of all building it... what a fun task this was! (Honestly I mean it, hardware tinkering is where my heart is) It started off with a breadboard and some jumper wires, and now has turned into a carved out etched board with even finer solder points.
(Pics coming on this soon)
PSGroove Code:
After looking through the uncompiled versions I will say the original author did a fantastic job! The shell code is clean, well executed and easy to follow.
Some improvements are needed for the ports, especially the PIC chip port, but all in all the ports boot without fail 95% of the time. The PIC port needs to be rewritten in PPC/ASM instead of this high level C crap. I imagine with some time someone will rewrite it. Not sure I am up for the task as I know some ASM, but am not nearly advanced enough in it yet to accomplish what is needed.
I will say though, the PIC port is what has me the most excited. Why you ask? Due to someone thinking outside of the box and porting it to a device that is not based on the same chip. PIC chips are fairly common and can accomplish the same task's as the USB ones. The downside is you need to build a PIC programmer. But that is inexpensive and easy to do.
Backup Manager:
It is clunky. Honestly not much else to say about it. I think someone will be rewriting this very very soon. It does the job, but it's ugly and is in need of a GUI overhaul.

External Drives:
This is what IS exciting. When you backup to an external drive (If the game doesn't have individual files over 4gig in length) it backs it up, completely decrypted.
Here is MW2 Structure from an external HD

PSGroove code now includes the ability to peek and poke memory locations and information.
What this means is the ability to read and change anything within LVL2 of the memory... Trainers anyone?
Update #3
Getting MW2 to work was not too bad. I had a little help from a friend as well though.
(Playing on backup manager, online, note the version)

This one interested me, a log of the games you have booted.
Still think they cannot detect the jailbreak?

I will be updating this with more and more impressions and info as I go through it.

Nice post. But i need you help as you seem to be the one that knows about this stuff. I have ordered this board: You must login or register to view this content.
It is on its way now. But when i get it how do i get Jailbreak on it. I know it involves a jumper pin or something. But what else will i have to do. Also is it possible not to be caught and banned from ps3?
Thanks man and nice post. Gunna nominate now.

In correct. If you get the correct hex it changes the backup managers id to that of mw2s. So sony think you playing MW2 lol. At lease that is what i got told.
but the backup manager can´t read .PKGs as DLC or patches if you play mw2 backuped you can´t have MP´s or the 1.11 patch
