PS3Hax member ricardopvz, has released a hybrid version of PSGroove which consists of PL3 and Hermes v4b together, for the Arduino Duemilanove/Mega USB boards.

To quote:

There are many people who doesn't know which payload to use (Hermes or PL3). So i thought, i don't we put them together?

And that's what i made. When you connect your arduino to the PS3, you can choose which payload to use by simply pressing a button or moving a switch.

You connect a button or a switch from pin 12 to 5v, and then you can select which payload to use. The led on pin 13 will go ON when PL3 is being used, if it is OFF, then Hermes is being used.

Tested with arduino duemilanove. Not tested with arduino mega. This is only for fw 3.41.

With the realization of the problems that people had moving from hermes to PL3, isn't this kind of a bad idea? Not knocking the work put in it, because I'm sure it will be useful to some, but to the average user this isn't a good thing for them to do. As I've said I'm pro choice, but I could see people ultimately only using one payload... Not many are going to switch back and forth.

I could see this being more useful for developers maybe?

Yes, when i made this i was thinking in developers, because of syscall36 and syscall35. But when i read that Hermes payloads were blocking games to be run in PL3, i thought this would be a good ideia, since there are many people with plenty of games in their PS3, and they can use this instead of re-installing them.

For games i like more hermes payload, but for apps i like more PL3.

would it be possible to put this on a minimus at90 board

Ola podes dar me uma ajuda como instalar o ps3 groove num arduino duemilanove, ja fiz o circuito conforme o primeiro tutorial daqui do ps3hax e agora no software tou a ver me grego nao consegui fazer o flash, vi outro tutorial ja deu o flash mas nao funciona :S. podes ajudar?

Cool! Sounds like you thought it out then! Thanks for your work man! Any work is always appreciated. Sorry if it sounded like I was belittling what you were doing, I guess I was just more curious with the idea behind it more than anything. Thanks for clarifying!

I'll be putting this on my Arduino...thanks.

Thanks ricardopvz! Been keeping up with your great Arduino ports for a while now :D

Hi ricardopvz,

Great work mixing the 2 payloads into one. Any chance you could make the source code available? I would like to try doing the same with the Teensy board.

Thnx

I just put another led at port 13, it's working fine here with two firmwares.
