• PS3 Hacks, PSGroove , 15.11.2010

    Xoeo, responsible for releasing the PSN payload for jail broken devices, has released his own persobal payload, here is what it does:

    * Based on the PL3 code structure, but contains implementation of Hermes for increased stability.
    * Allows playing of PS1/PS2 games in JB mode
    * Enables Life with Playstation in JB Mode
    * PSN Access (Different implementation from what’s out there right now)
    * 3.50 Spoof
    * Fixed the bug of Linux menu disappearing under XMB

    NOTE This will not enable non BC consoles to play PS2 games.

      Coolio
      Personally I prefer Hermes 4b but maybe this is the best of both worlds. And hopefully in the future I could backup all my classic psx games.

      "NOTE This will not enable non BC consoles to play PS2 games."

      Ok now I'm confused if it doesn't allow non BC consoles to play ps2 games then what is new with this feature? I have a 60 gb model so it doesn't bother me but I just don't really understand what they mean by playing ps1 and ps2 games in JB mode (since you can already do that in normal mode) unless they mean it has backups support.

      Well it means that you don't have to "un jailbreak" just to play PS2 games.

      I have tested an iLLNESS compiled build based on Xoeo's sourcecode: LEDB145C0-1-iLLNESS-PL3PSN-315-default_pl_xoeo-350SPOOF-PICDEM.hex (originated from: http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachme...-c1-picdem-zip) on Eclips3/eclipsemod and JailBreak works with PS3 (CECHC04) FW3.15, even the ledsequence is correct.

      PS2 BC does not work (inserted disc not showing & missing XMB option "Memorycard Utility PS/PS2"), tested originals:
      - Medal of Honor Frontline [SLES-50684]
      - Medal of Honor Rising Sun [SLES-51873]
      - Medal of Honor European Assault [SLES-53332]
      - Medal of Honor Vanguard [SLES-54683]
      "PSGrooPIC_BEEPIC_FW315_NUA.hex" and "psgroove_psn_yes_315.hex" have btw the same problems regarding missing XMB items

      System Model info returns 3.50 (on FW3.15) and no bugging about updating

      'Life with Playstation' in JB Mode downloads and installs correct, updating to v1.21 also works. Starting 'Life with Playstation' however results in black screen freeze.

      ON boot it initially gave a 8002A240 error in the XMB (I have disabled automatic sign on), afterwards PSN seemed to work just fine.

      OtherOS still present in XMB and booting correct to Linux

      PSN Retail packages install (tested:Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection [NPEA0001-PAL/EUR]). I have no idea if FW3.50 build PSN titles can install correctly, as I have none.

      So unless the problems are related to compiling and not the sourcecode. I don't see very much improvement to the previous PSN/spoofed payloads (but maybe it is improved on the JB part, as I didn't tested titles which didn't work with my previous used payloads).

      Yes. If not Jailbroken, it sure is.

      'PS3 model CECHC04 (60GB PAL/EUR with PS1/PS2 BC) with firmware 3.15 and enhanced 500GB 7200rpm drive + 2TB 7200rpm on USB'.

      I can't remember any payload (PL3, Hermes etc) which doesn't remove the PS1/PS2 related menuitems. Either I see the JB added *app_home/ps3_game and *install package files items, or in non JB state I get the PS1/PS2 menuitems.

      AFAIK, such a Backup/File Manager already exists.
      deanrr's multiMAN change log:
      "01.08.05 – Support for detecting and mounting PS2 game backups"
      Mounting is possible, only lacking is playability last time I checked.

      I'm guessing you mean stoker25's CFWLoad v1.0 based on JaicraB/dwarfcrank USB FW loader that patched those menu items even on nonBC PS3's?

      No, wasnt talking about that, but if that works... Have you tried with that?

      No sorry, no time to do that yet (PS2 doesn't have such high priority to me, as I can do it nonJB.

      To busy testing (as you can see below

      I have tested evilsperm's compiled build based on Xoeo's sourcecode: psgroove_teensy_at90usb1286_16mhz_firmware_3_15.hex from evilsperm' xoeo-custom-PL3-3.15-test-hex.zip (originated from http://psx-scene.com/forums/592291-post220.html) on Eclips3/eclipsemod and JB works with PS3 (CECHC04) FW3.15, the ledsequence is correct.

      PS2 BC does not work (inserted disc not showing & missing XMB option "Memorycard Utility PS/PS2"), tested originals:
      - Medal of Honor European Assault [SLES-53332]
      - Medal of Honor Vanguard [SLES-54683]
      "LEDB145C0-1-iLLNESS-PL3PSN-315-default_pl_xoeo-350SPOOF-PICDEM.hex", "PSGrooPIC_BEEPIC_FW315_NUA.hex" and "psgroove_psn_yes_315.hex" have btw the same problems regarding missing XMB items.

      System Model info returns 3.50 (on FW3.15) and no bugging about updating

      'Life with Playstation' in JB Mode downloads and installs correct, updating to v1.21 also works. Starting 'Life with Playstation' however results in black screen freeze.

      On boot no 8002A240 error this time (but this errorcode seems related to new TOS and only comes up once to people reporting it afaik [see: http://psx-scene.com/forums/591213-post1.html).

      OtherOS still present in XMB and booting correct to Linux

      Jailbreak Compatibilitytest with Gaia Manager 1.03.1 (but also crosschecked with original Backup Manager v1.x, Open Manager v2.1I, Open Manager v1.17.2 and Rogero Manager v7.5, no differences where seen in errorreports):
      - Call of Duty World at War [internal] (evilsperm' xoeo works without errors, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 works errorless)
      - Red Dead Redemption [internal] (evilsperm' xoeo works without errors, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 works errorless)
      - Killzone 2 [internal] (evilsperm' xoeo works without errors, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Little Big Planet [external] (evilsperm' xoeo works without errors, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      not working, but then again, it wasn't on Psgroove_PL3_20102310 either:
      - Burnout Paradise [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010017, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 also gave error 80010017)
      but:
      - Batman Arkham Asylum [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Haze [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Toy Story 3 [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Mercenaries 2 World in Flames [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Fallout 3 GOTY [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Vanquish [internal] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Uncharted1 [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Uncharted2 [unPSARCed external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - God of War 3 [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - Metal Gear Solid 4 [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)
      - PES11 [external] (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 gives error 80010007)
      - Dantes Inferno [external] .01) (evilsperm' xoeo gives error 80010009, nonPSN Psgroove_PL3_20102310 just works)

      Could test some more, but the 'error 80010009' list only gets bigger (it's a real noshowstopper) and always occurs a few seconds after videoreinitialisation (HDD activity seems to go on after that).
      Error 80010009 does not seem related to external HD vs. internal HD, as the error comes up on both (although the only tested errorless games are from internal). Does not seem related to regionlocking too, as it comes up on BLES/BCES@PAL and BLUS/BCUS@NTSC consoles the same. Does not seem related to 'newer function in higher FW not available in spoofed 3.15' as it also comes up with games with lower FW requerements (SFO originally below 3.15).
      All the 80010009 errors now seem to come from a step back because of frankenstein build (merge PSGroove/PL3/Hermes). Funny thing is that PS3YES website lists 11/11/2010 a fixed version adressing 80010009 errors (on another payload btw).

      Rogero Manager v7.5 sees this HEX as "Payload: Hermes/3.15"

      Sorry for the crosspost, but I thought I'll give you a headsup on whats going on with Xoeo's hybrid builds.

      All these 80010009 errors are btw only happening now on some backups, never on originals.

      Crosstested it on an empty harddisk and redumped FW1.50 required game (e.g.: Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Motorstorm, Resistance Fall of Man, Need for Speed Carbon, Call of Duty 3, Blazing Angels Squadron of WWII), but even then it gave error 80010009.

      quote evilsperm "We have it running on 3.41! [...] we will test it for a bit then release it" so I guess more testers are available soon when a compiled HEX for that FW is released.
