Got my dongle from Volumerates today. It's really tiny. It seems like I got the latest payload to flash using the instructions from earlier. I can install PSN games and some games launch without a disc in the system, though some don't. I can't get game updates to work, though. Anyone else have a similar problem?

A couple of new homebrew games have been released:
Don't Get Crushed (which is a port of a Wii homebrew game):
http://psgroove.com/?p=2016
And also Spin Pong:

http://psgroove.com/?p=2013
Finally there's a java app that shows all of the current apps available for jailbroken PS3s. This thing could be dodgy so I certainly wouldn't allow it access to my machine or use it to actually download anything, but as a simple list of apps it seems pretty good. Use with caution I guess:

XBMC, last I checked, uses ffmpeg for video playback. And again, last I checked, ffmpeg has absolutely zero Cell optimizations. That means the entire burden of video decoding is on the PPC, and from personal experience on PS3's linux, it's nowhere near fast enough for 1080p video. Adding RSX support really doesn't do anything (color space conversion was already available for the SPUs).
Adding Cell support for h.264 isn't easy, or it would've happened in the years that linux was available on the PS3.
Now, if someone finds a way to use Sony's video libraries in XBMC, then there's no problem. Don't know if they're part of any of the leaked SDKs or not.

Yeah, in XMB it can, that's with mad optimizations and a low OS footprint. Open source implementation written by people in their free time with no documentation? I'm less confident.
Having said that, I'm sure a decent open media player will come along eventually, I was referring to using it an actual operating system, Firefox, Office etc.

It was almost done, but they found a technical issue really difficult to solve. They stopped the 2 projects that were trying to do it.Mr_Brit said:
This would be a scammer. The main project was an open source project in ElOtroLado Spanish forums. They didn't ask for donations.Metalmurphy said:

Woopsie. It's a clone of the PSJailbreak, so I'm 99% sure it shipped with the original JB payload. I used the method outlined before to updates it to Hermes v4b for Maximus AVR AT90usb162 16 mhz. I'm positive the update worked because I can do the following:
- Play some games without a disc in the system.
- Install PSN games in JB mode
- Remove the dongle after the system has been jailbroken
I believe none of those things were possible with the PSJailbreak payload. The only problem I have now is that I can't install game updates. I get an error message every time I try.
From memory these are ones that are useful:
File Management:
Blackbox FTP Server
Comgenie's Awesome File Manager
Emulators:
SNES9x-PS3
FCEU-PS3 (NES)
Mednafen-PS3 (NES, SMS, GG, GB, GBC, GBA, PC Engine, Lynx)
ScummVM
Linux:
AsbestOS (Original Payload Version)
AsbestOS Launcher (Launch straight from XMB)
Plus some basic homebrew games.

It worked pretty well for the couple of games I played.

This is a great site for getting the latest payloads for every board: http://www.project0.de/psgroove-maker/
There has been loads of progress on AsbestOS over the last couple of days:
From marcan's twitter:
From marcan's twitter:
# Replaced LZO1X compression with LZMA, 25% size reduction (40K -> 30K or so). 36 minutes ago via Choqok
# @KaKaRoToKS nope, DVD apparently needs something extra. It just returns ATAPI errors. 37 minutes ago via Choqok in reply to KaKaRoToKS
# Looks like the Linux drivers for HDD/Flash can't handle more than one region, I'll have to add that in. about 7 hours ago via Choqok
# Fixed PS3 storage stuff (haven't pushed yet, need to make sure it's safe). DVD/HDD/Flash now work. about 7 hours ago via Choqok
# @shuffle2 is that a remote KDE session on the PS3 on top of a local GNOME Ubuntu session? Are you insane?about 10 hours ago via Choqok in reply to shuffle2
# @marlencrabapple it should be able to run 1080p great *once drivers have been written*. Until then, no real change. about 14 hours ago via Choqok in reply to marlencrabapple
# Once AsbestOS is user-friendly enough to not require netboot stuff, *then* I'll take the time to build a Ubuntu kernel and post an image
# In other words: except for the lack of usable internal HDD access, AsbestOS works just as well as OtherOS for pretty much all purposes. about 15 hours ago via Choqok
# There's just more important stuff to work on, like USB booting so people don't need to set up a network boot environment. about 15 hours ago via Choqok
# In other words, if I bothered to set it up, I could make Ubuntu/whatever run on AsbestOS today. about 15 hours ago via Choqok
# People keep thinking that somehow there's "something" to do before GUI works. There isn't, I just haven't bothered to install Xorg. about 15 hours ago via Choqok
# Fixed the Linux memory, framebuffer mem limit (720p works), threads-max and all that nonsense. Use latest ps3-linux.git & asbestos.git! 9:10 PM Oct 29th via Choqok
# Goodbye dtbImage.ps3, hello vmlinux. Note: from now on you *MUST* use the patched kernel from http://is.gd/gtmrZ . See README for details. 8:19 PM Oct 29th via Choqok

Not really sure if this is related to your case at all..
PSGroove.com said:We recently received an email from the PS3Key team that contained some unfortunate news. It seems a small group of PS3Keys were sent out with the wrong bootloader. The affected batch have the following range of serials 1001 0300 0000-x and 1001 0300 0999-x. If you possess one of these chips, with the affected serial, the PS3Key team urge you to contact your retailer for a replacement. If you have an affected chip you may want to check out the complete announcement after the jump.

Is it known if there are teams working on stuff like region free blu-rays etc?
I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but so far to me it seems like the actual homebrew results brought the hacked PS3s only back to the level of pre-geohot PS3s (while lacking the PSN stuff and added piracy capabilities). I know it has been just 2 months but wasn't the progress faster on the other consoles?
oh and:
something something new firmwares to be cracked something something end of October ?
*looks at calender*

THIS. I want region free. I want H246, MKV etc. At least port xbmc by now.
I don't mind ISOs for undubs, but that's about it.
I also want hacked PSN enabled (somehow).

So have they started bootlegging games on this this thing for the masses? The op doesn't have very much info at all.
New Android app downloads the latest homebrew releases to your phone's SD. You then you plug your phone into PS3 as external storage to install.
http://psgroove.com/?p=2070
(It costs a dollar, because they're running their own homebrew server. Hopefully these guys put the money to good use and continue to develop it.)

This is essentially just to update your release after you've jailbroken it, right?
With the newest releases, would I still need my device plugged in whenever I fire up the system?
^ It's not actually related to the jailbreaking process, it's just a convenient way of getting the latest homebrew releases. You'll still need to jailbreak on bootup as per your usual method.
If you've got a PC connected to your PS3 and you're using one of the existing (PC based) homebrew managers, then this app doesn't bring much to the table. But I don't, and I'm on the move Mon to Fri so it's handy to grab things on the fly.

Since the Teensy ++ is out of stock, would getting the SD Adapter for the regular Teensy actually work when that extra memory is needed?

Because the TI-84 has cool menus. http://psgroove.com/?p=1344
(There are other cool features listed in that article too, like external payload support and set-and-forget operation.)
$20 is an awesome price, jump on it IMO.

The open source PSL1GHT SDK has improved enough that the the first legal homebrew, PONGUS, has been released: http://psgroove.com/?p=2146

Is it possible yet to play Heavy Rain with Move controls on a 3.41 JB PS3? I know we can install retail packages including updates so I'm hoping someone has gotten this up and running. Plus, there's supposed to be a move bundle on amazon today. Also would I need the controller at camera?
