Well, Finally got the chance to try my hand at jailbreaking my PS3.
What you will need to pull this off:
1. Playstation Original or Slim at firmware version 3.41
2. Arduino Duemilanove with an ATMEGA 128 chip on it.
3. Small breadboard (a-j, 1-30, 2 power rails)
4. 7 Jumper wires
5. 2 68 ohm resistors
6. 2 470 ohm resistors
7. 1 USB Cable
8. 1 Green LED
9. 1 Red LED
10. 1 3.6v .5w zener diode
11. PS3 Backup Manager 2
12. ATMEGA port of PSGroove
Got all that? Good. Let’s get started. First, here is the pin lineup for where everything plugs in:
(A = Arduino, D = Digital, B=Breadboard)
Arduino Pin -> Breadboard Pin
A D9 -> B G20
A D8 -> B G14
A D5 -> B b2
A D4 -> B b12
A D2 -> B b4
A 5v -> B +
A GND -> B -
Ok, now the rest is breadboard only:
Part – Breadboard Pin -> Breadboard Pin
R1 (68 ohm) – c4 -> g4
R2 (470 ohm) – d2 -> h4
R3 (68 ohm) – d12 -> g12
R4 (470 ohm) – j18 -> -
Z1 (3.6v zener diode) – i7 -> + (this side has the black stripe)
LED1 (GRN LED) – i14(+) -> h18(-)
LED2 (RED LED) – i20(+) -> i18(-)
USB VCC (RED) -> f7
USB data+(GRN) -> f12
USB data-(WHITE) -> f4
USB GND (black) -> -
That’s the hardware side. I will update tomorrow with the software side.
