PSGroove: Open Source PS3 Jailbreak, Available for Download

Jailbreak Playstation 3 PS3 PSGroove psjailbreak Sony

A new, open source PS3 jailbreak, called PSGroove, is now available for download.

After the PlayStation 3 was finally cracked, the Australian Federal Court quickly put a stop to the jailbreak’s circulation by halting the distribution of the crack and turning the cracking group’s inventory over to Sony, the long-overdue crack’s future was looking grim (for people into that sort of thing).

However, a new, open source jailbreak has just been released, dubbed PSGroove. The crack is available for download, but must be installed onto an AT90USBkey or a Teensy++ USB development board. As with most homebrew-enabling cracks, PSGroove allows a user to run unsigned code on a PS3.

Now that an open source, downloadable crack has made it onto the internet, federal courts will probably have a much harder time preventing its distribution, thus most likely ensuring the longevity of the jailbreak.

You might want to update this article because Sony recently released a firmware update that breaks the hack used for the mod chip. Since, unfortunately, the firmware update is required to use your PS3 at all, this mod chip was obsolete 3 days after it was publicly released.

Hopefully, your readers will save their money and not spend it on something that is totally useless.
I have written an article regarding the same. http://aleptu.com/firmware-update-makes-ps3-jailbreak-obsolete-18191280.html
