Now this is very interesting news that can possible render all other ports being working on quite useless. The folks over at Elotrolado have started on working on trying to get PSGroove ported to the Sixaxis/Dualshock3.

To quote:

*The SIXAXIS control has a memory eeprom what its programming allows. (BoRJa_FiesTeRo Thanks)

*The name of the Micro ones is:

• TOSHIBA 15UM3EFG-001
• JAPAN0703EG1
• F0194ZA

Hopefully this is a port to be excited about, as everyone has a PS3 controller that wants to jailbreak their PS3. You can catch up the the latest update over at their forums (its in Spanish) - we will keep you updated here when something happens.

Would this render the controller useless while using it? If so, than would you still be able to use the controller when just using your ps3 as normal?

idk, they're talking about how the process would render the controller useless. I think we would be better off with other ports, and/or waiting untill all the stores are re-stocked with teensys and at90usbkey boards again. I think this method is actually better because that way you have a dedicated peripheral vs one that you need for other things, such as communicating with the outside world, or playing the video games and homebrew that the ps3 was hacked for. kinda renders it useless that way. lol

The reason they're saying that the controller is renedered useless is because the r-2 trigger during the operation, becomes moot. they don't specify.

They are also talking about other ports to other microcontrollers and even about an eventual live cd, They don't specify how that last one works. i think it's worth the wait.

the ultimate insult to sony........
next big news "sony removes controller functionality from ps3" LOL XD

Probably not because MATH fixed the problem with the kernel panic when the jig was disconnected, so i would assume that the controller would act as a jig just long enough , then it would revert back to a controller. an d plug it's self in :D

[japsander]

it seems the biggest problem will be how to flash it in the first place. if it needs stripping down and hardwiring to flash the option to use it after the exploit is completed is less of a reality

just because it has a usb doesnt mean it is flashable through it.

heres hoping though.

I have a usable but slightly damaged launch (no rumble) SIXAXE with the springs missing from L2 & R2 and a long wait for my Teensy. Bring it on!

[darkbepo]

this.
is.
AWESOME!

Can't wait to rape sony with their own tools.
Wait.. that sounds... ehm

[antoyax]

this is so perfect for me having a disgruntled R+L triggers for my 6axis!!!i also hav psp if ever they cant port it with 6axis but this is better for me..

I see some point in this unlike the ports to iphone and all that, this is feasible, i actually remember the time when people were investigating the possiblity of the ps3 controller starting the jig LOLOL i guess it would be a reallity in a few days.
