Brandon Wilson has updated his TI-84 PSGroove port to version 0.05.0001 bringing nice new features, and updates.
To quote:
Changes:
The latest version brings about several improvements:
Current status is displayed at the bottom of the LCD:
In addition to the usual jailbreak method, you can now install and uninstall an OS “hook” that allows the jailbreak to work at any point in the OS:
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:
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).
Thanks to Blalien for the tip.

Found myself a bdmv enabled version on a private tracker.
I can confirm it works really GREAT.
The calculator jumps on and does the hack by itself whenever i turn the PS3 on.
Kind of like the dongles.
Runs backups and payloads work.
Don't think brandonw enables bdmv by default.
So people need to find a enabled version themselves.

Very nice, Im happy I need this calculator for school, so I needn't buy a stick.

Hmm, how do you create your own payload? I'm talking about the bin file that you can convert with his tool.

Great news for my calc.
I don't understand how this works, my calc. is activated by USB?
and the payloads could be downloaded without any pre-compiling?

Sounds great - hope they port the same options over to the samba devices.

So how do we use To8XV to convert the Hermes v2 payload into an Appvar?
10-04-2010
05:13 PM
I modified it to have Hermes v1.0 as a default payload.

Can someone dumb this down for me? I've been using the original ti-84 program to run my backups. I understand the provided download link doesn't allow me to do that. so how do i set this up so i can "shove the calculator and the USB cable behind the PS3 and forget it’s there"?

few questions. What does it mean by payload and what dos it do. what is meant by not having to touch the calculator anymore do i still have to press start then eject ? also i wanna be able to play with no disk inserted and be able to back up?
Thanks in advance i havent had a chance to follow all the updates so im abit behind whats going on
im still useing backupmanger v1 and version 2 of this. 1 last question if i update the backupmanger will i loose my backups?? o ye and whats the install for
10-05-2010

This new updated app will let you install a "hook" to the calculator os so all you need to do is just plug the calculator in on or off and it will still perform the exploit. Somebody already uploaded this new version with backup support and no disc support its on the second page.
10-05-2010
05:46 AM
what about pushing reset then eject do i still need to do this ?
10-05-2010
05:51 AM
Hey.
I cant get it to load without a disc, i have downloaded the app for ti 84 which is posted on second page. When i try to launch the game through /app_home/PS3_GAME/ i get error code (80028F14). But if i insert a disc and launch the game through the disc icon it works fine.
What am i doing wrong?
Btw i have tried three diffrent loaders.

If you're using Erk3452's app all it is, is PSGroove 1.1 modified to play backups WITH a disc. In order to play with out a disc you need my Hermesv2 payload and need to specify it in the PSJB app on your calculator.
10-05-2010
08:52 AM
what is the difference between the stage 1 and stage 2?
And what it does?
stage 1 is related to the normal JB, and stage 2 is used when the OS Hook is installed?

Racket Sports Move Doesn´t need patch!
Great Work

can i get a step by step guide on how use this so i can continue to run my backups that i have and "shove the calculator and the USB cable behind the PS3 and forget it’s there"? do I still need to always power off the system and then power back on with the on/eject button method? I'm so confused.
10-05-2010
07:06 PM
i got it finally. I downloaded this: http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachme...2&d=1286311877 and put it into my calc. loaded it up in stage 1, left stage 2 as none. installed it on my calc. turned on system (eject method) installed this: http://www.ps3-hacks.com/file/147. and everything is all good! got hermes 3 with OM and BM w/ emu
10-05-2010

hook method is really confusing =/ yea need someone to explain it to me :aetsch:

Thanks, and by any chance, did any of u have problem loading games use backup manager?
10-05-2010

For some reason I'm having issues. Games that have previously been mounted don't mount anymore. I'm going through all the exact same steps. When I choose to "load" a game in backup manager or open manager...the ps3 "resprings" but still with the game that's in the bd-rom drive.

its version 5 though..not 6
10-06-2010
07:42 PM
http://www.mediafire.com/?cdgo18e6fooid1l here is version 6 supporting firmware 3.15 with backups enabled...No hermes though i didnt wanna mess with anything and potentially screw up the 3.15 support.
Those who use 3.15 need to download http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/fwcompat/FWC315.8xv and send it to the calculator and then select it as the payload in settings. It also looks like brandon included Hermes v3 as a selectable payload also.
10-06-2010
08:55 PM
No need to patch brandon releases anymore, just put the desired payload and BD-emu will work, I've tested this myself.

Can someone explain to me how to use Brandon's To8XV program to install different payloads. As far as I understand you need the .bin file from the payloads so I got the discriptor.bin file from Hermes v3 and put it over the To8XV program and the only thing that happens is that the cmd window pops up for a split second and then closes and I dont see no new file or anything so could someone please help me out and explain what I might be doing wrong?
10-07-2010
04:33 AM
you need to open cmd first then navigate to "to8xv.exe" and type "to8xv xxx.bin xxx"
10-07-2010
09:35 AM
Can you please explain to me exactly how to run this program in the command prompt. Also was I right about what .bin file to use to add it as a payload? Thank you very much for the help!

"These options are stored in an AppVar called PS3JBOPT, which can be archived to keep it safe from RAM resets."
what is meant by this? how do i do this? the ti cleaned the ram today and i had to select the payloads again
10-14-2010
10:07 AM
Can anyone explain to me how to actually enable BD-EMU in the payload myself? I want to be able to do this myself without having to get it online from someone else.
