Update: PSGroove Ported To TI-84+ Calculator, Exploit Files Now Available

by Mike Bendel on September 8, 2010 @ 8:06 pm

Update #2: BrandonW has rolled out v0.02.0001 of his TI-84+ based port, touting “improved compatibility with homebrew applications.”

Update: As promised, BrandonW has released his TI-84+ port of PSGroove. Additionally, the developer has written up a handy FAQ on his site for the inevitable flood of questions that will come.

These ports of the now-infamous USB-hub emulating PS3 exploit are becoming increasingly unpredictable by the day. This time, the porting was done on a common household item: a calculator.

Developer Brandon Wilson has cooked up a port of the recently-released PSGroove hack for the TI-84+ and TI-84 Silver Edition family of graphing calculators. Above, a teaser video shows the magic in action.

According to Wilson’s Twitter feed, a release is due out “later today.” Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.

Adiuvo says:

This'll be the first time I use my TI-84 willingly.

KezraPlanes says:

I know it's a calculator... That's why I "what"'d I can't quite believe it.

x3sphere says:

It's real, I can vouch 100% for it :D

Greyone says:

What's not to believe? It has always been possible to write apps for the high end calculators.

ilyace says:

Be a little more explicit next time.

KezraPlanes says:

I know that... But it seems that everything with an USB port runs this exploit nowadays xD

slicer4ever says:

damn, people are coming up with some of the most creative ways to run this exploit

El Diablo says:

Obligatory "well if x can run it when will my flash drive do it" post. /face

Still though this is crazy the things it's being ported to. Still waiting on my Blackberry or PSP though :(. Hell next thing you know car audio headunits will be exploiting the ps3 with their usb ports :p.

NooMoahk says:

Awesome, can't wait to try it out.

ChurchedAtheist says:

Fix including Bluray Emulation is out here.

rianchio23 says:

if the android version has been released why no news on here about it???

FrozenIpaq says:

Probably because of the somewhat complexity and diversity of various Android ports made available. I'm sure we'll get around to making a post about it soon (I've been sick for the past week or so and haven't been on top of my news). For those wondering, here's a nice compatibility list (including Android): http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list

x3sphere says:

We'll have one up for the Android ports soon. Problem is there's so many it's tough to keep track. :p
