PS3JB89 v0.01 Released; PSGroove for the TI-89 Titanium

Submitted by greg; October 31, 2010


Brandon is back with another PSGroove port for another calculator. Break out the TI-89 Titanium -- we're not graphing today, we're hacking the PS3. It's very similar to that of PSGroove for the TI-84+. External payloads are stored and loaded as "PAYL" files, and different firmwares are supported (up to 3.41) by different "firmware compatibility files." Refer to readme.txt to get started. PS3JB89 v0.01 Features:

• Current status is displayed at the bottom of the LCD. You can tell exactly what step it's failing on and take action based on it.
• The program has several configurable options to change the way the jailbreak works. These options are stored in a custom "CONF" file called "ps3jbopt", which can be archived to keep it from RAM resets.
• External payload files are supported. This means you don't have to re-compile the program to use a payload different from the built-in one. These payloads are stored as custom "PAYL" files and are selected through PS3JB89's options menu: You can specify an external payload file by transferring it to your calculator and then entering its filename in the "Stage 1" field, or you can press [2nd]+[-] to bring up the "VAR-LINK" menu and select the file. To convert from a binary file containing the payload data to a custom "PAYL" file, read this.
• Other firmware versions below 3.41 are supported through the use of "firmware compatibility files", which are external files that override specific behavior in the jailbreak to make it function under different firmware versions.
  Select a compatibility file appropriate for your firmware version along with a payload appropriate for your version and you can now use the jailbreak on 3.01, 3.15, and potentially others (below 3.41). A basic list of these compatibility files as well as their format (for creating your own) can be found here.
• The connection of device 6 during the jailbreak can be enabled/disabled in the options. This is disabled by default, and useful with older payloads that still use device 6. If you don't know what to do with it, leave it alone.
