Video proving that a PS3 can be jailbroken using the PSGroove exploit from a TI-84 Plus/Silver Edition graphing calculator.

PS3JB is a FLASH application for the TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition that implements the PSGroove exploit for the Playstation 3 console. By connecting a USB cable between a PS3 and your calculator and running the application, you can trigger the PSGroove exploit from your graphing calculator.

The exploit only works on the two models listed and does not launch backups yet.

Use:
- Make a backup of important things on your calculator to avoid any loss in case of reset of the RAM.
- Then transfer the application " PS3JB.8XK " on your TI -84 Plus or TI - 84 Plus Silver Edition through the appropriate software for your platform:

* Mac OS X : Connect IT
* Windows : TI Connect or TiLP
* Linux : TiLP

Under Windows, for example, you can use "IT DeviceExplorer" then perform a drag and drop the file or right click and choose "send to IT Device."

- Once the application is transferred, you should see " PS3JB "in the menu of your applications (by pressing the [ APPS ]).
- Run the application.
- After the start screen, press a button to display the menu:

1) PS3 Jailbreak
2) View Log
3) About
4) Quit

- To launch the exploit, select option 1.
- You can then follow the usual.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will I still be able to use my calculator like normal after this? Can this cause damage to my calculator?
- This is just a FLASH application like any other you would download off education.ti.com or ticalc.org and has no impact on other functionality. There is always the potential that the application could reset RAM, so back up anything important on your calculator to your computer before running this. I'm not responsible for anything that happens from you choosing to run this program.

Do I need a special cable for this?
- No, you just need a standard A to mini-B USB cable (this is what you use to connect a calculator to computer and comes with the calculator, it's also used to charge/sync PS3 controllers). You have one of these.

What OS version does my calculator need to be on for this to work?
- OS 2.30 or above. You can get the latest version (currently 2.53MP) at education.ti.com.

How do I get this on my calculator?
- Do some reading and/or googling. You will need link software like TI Connect (Windows/Mac OS X) or TiLP (Windows/Linux) and a cable to connect your calculator to your computer.

It didn't work! What's wrong?!
- Be patient with it. It may take multiple tries for it to work correctly. Make sure the PS3 is powered completely off first and that you press EJECT immediately after POWER. You'll know it worked when you see the calculator's LCD say "Waiting...Done" and you see an "Install Package Files" option under Game in the XMB of the PS3.

Will this work on the TI-83 Plus or TI-83 Plus Silver Edition or [xyz]? It has a cable that's USB on one end, so it can work, right?
- No. The calculator must have a USB controller in it, and the only two calculators with USB controllers that this application supports is the TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.

Can this be ported to the TI-89 Titanium?
- Theoretically, yes. However, the TI-89 Titanium has a Motorola 68K processor (as opposed to a Zilog Z80), so this application can't work on it (and I don't have the knowledge to code it). The TI-89 Titanium's USB controller is also not understood at all, even less than the TI-84 Plus/Silver Edition.

Can this be ported to HP or Casio calculators?
- Maybe, I don't know. I'm not an HP or Casio person. I can't possibly do it.

Will this work on my TI-Nspire or TI-Nspire CAS? My TI-Nspire can emulate the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.
- True, but it's not the same. The Nspire's 84+SE emulator doesn't accurately emulate all the USB controller hardware necessary for this to work.

Which version of PSGroove does this include?
- This includes the payload(s) from the PSGroove GitHub repository as of 9/6/2010.

Can I use this to play backups?
- No, this jailbreak is based upon the PSGroove source code, which does not support piracy either.

@BloodyFlam you think you're funny. you aren't. instead you are narrow minded and prejudiced. I'm an Applied Mathematics magistrate wannabe, I've been living with my fiancee for 6 years by now, I've had a lot of sex in my life - standard, triangles, squares, and other, nude parties, I did almost everything excluding animals and children under 15. and I'm good at sex. standard european size, but educated and talented. that being said, I claim, that doing science is far more exciting then fucking.
