Jailbreak a PS3 from a TI-84 Plus/Silver Edition Calculator

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

You can download this application for free at http://brandonw.net/ps3jb/ .

By the way:

The composite cable was used because that's what my TV has front jacks for. I normally use HDMI.
Yes, you must do this every time the PS3 boots, it is not a one-time deal.
Yes, this works on the Slim models.
Yes, you can use this to emulate the official Sony jig stick and get into service mode for downgrading or what-have-you.
No, this does NOT work with the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-83 Plus Silver Edition.
No, this does NOT work with the TI-86.
No, this does NOT work with the TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, or Voyage 200.
No, this does NOT work with any HP calculators.
No, this does NOT work with any Casio calculators.
No, this does NOT work with the TI-Nspire nor TI-Nspire CAS.
Yes, something similar to this does work on a TI-89 Titanium, see http://brandonw.net/ps3jb89/.

No, this does NOT work on firmware 3.42, 3.50, or anything higher. It's never going to. I'm not a PS3 developer, I know nothing about finding a new exploit for newer firmware versions. But if another exploit is found and released, and it's possible for a calculator to do it, then I will jump on it.

SO MAINLY HE JUST USED HIS CALC LIKE A FLASHDRIVE....NOT HARD

[ti83programmer]

@demonicleaders09 That's...actually not what it does at all. It's communicating at a low level with the USB controller on the calculator to emulate a 6-port USB hub to trigger the PSJailbreak exploit. You can google the technical details of how that exploit works for more information.

[ti83programmer]

@lowinfinity Uh...right...because it's not possible for a person to actually buy a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition that looks just like that...whatever you say...
