Got it working but most of my games don't work anymore. GoW3 which I played moments before flashing this and now it just resets back to the XMB. I am going to stick with my previous one.

Well it was just found so I am sure there are some optimizations that can be done and by weeks end it will be feasible.

I have the hex, Works perfectly just tried it. Only difference is there is no disc icon you click on the APP_HOME/PS3_GAME thing and it loads the games perfectly. Just done it on about 25 games all work fine.

This is the new hex

Just flash as normal, Clicking cancel when the pop up box comes up.

I can confirm 100% its working, Im very pleased now as it saves me keep using my bluray drive for no apprent reason.

I hope this helps people out as it wasnt "difficult" to find, Just a bit awkward as everything is still work in progress and stuff I didnt know if it was the right one but it is.

Big thanks to the creator for this, Real pleased like I said before. My bluray drive should last for ages now

This will need work for sure.  Reminds me of the drivers for the PSP, some games will need a certain one, and some will need a dvd.  Either way its safe to update Backup Manager, and the payload and just use a disc for the ones that do not load the other way around.  What I really want edited is the damn Yes/No question when backup manager starts!

1.5 for pics, for spi.

This is to use with the new backup manager.

Do you have a link to the thread that came from? I want to install the new BM (though it's really no bother keeping a game in the drive), but if it breaks compatibility then...no.

is this hex contains pike poke syscalls already as well???

[b3nnyb0y]

As far as im aware the one I posted does have peek & poke syscalls. I would use the hex that Looouky  posted though, As his is 1.5 mine was 1.3 so i think its old now? Also some games dont load either, Like sports champions & start the party, They load perfectly with the old backup manger though (Using new hex) So not sure whats up there, I hear its a common prooblem, Some games load some dont. I thought all my games was fine till todaywhen i tried the psmove games.

[atreyu187]

Yes it has peek n poke 100% sure as I just did a LV2 dump to test. And I just keep two backup loaders the PS3hax stealth one and the patched one that launches games from the loader instead of the XMB. The stealth one while useless as we can't go online has a different title ID so it doesn't install over the other one. And to all who care yes this new loader doesn't support all games but it does function like the old one as well so long as you have a disc inside so you won't lose any compatibility you just have to load with a disc inside the drive for certain games.

Ok, so if I do use the new Backup Mananger and hermes new hex, I can retain compatibility by simply having a blue ray in the drive.
I'm also confused.....do games still go into GAMEZ on the root of the USB? Keep a disc in to retain 100% compat?
I still need to go into backup manager to get the game to later show up in XMB.

Woah,
Can't believe I got my batch of Jtag SPIs so fast from DIYGadget.
I was told it'll take 2,3 weeks to Pakistan.

It arrived on a surprised 10th day from Canada. you guys rock.

gonna program now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Someone help plz

I'm using the correct HEX file on my JTAG SPI,
but when i flash my jtag spi from PICDEM FS USB tool, and i click on "program it button" it gives me an error after 9,10 seconds .

is this because my modchip has a bootloader installed? i read somewhere about OFFset some code caz it has bootloader, someone plze help.

i'm using 2455 PIC based one from diygadget.

thanks

[Shroomer]

Can i use a pro duo memory stick or an sd card to install backup manager since i have 3 card readers on my ps3? or does it have to be a thumb drive?
thx.

[NinjaOptimus]

Ok got it.

the hex can be flashed on diygadget based 360 SPI JTaGs,

but selecting CANCEL, instead of NO (on the configuration overwrite prom't), when asked about configuration file, during HEX file selection proces.

[ragingpanda]

I think i'm missing one step in the process.  I got everything running to the point where I can run backups off a USB drive but I'm not able to copy to the internal disk.  Anyone have a tip or run into the same issue?

[lew000]

I used these files to program the PIC18f2455 and works like a charm!!!

this is the dev.board what i have.
http://www.diygadget.com/mini-usb-developm...ic-18f2455.html

Download pack :
contain:
-windows driver for the board
-the programmer
-and the latest hex (psgroove hermes) with peek poke and works with backup manager v2 (no blu-ray disc support)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WMFT2K6Y

when iam loaded the hex i've got a pop-up window with 3 options (yes,no,cancel). i've choose "no" then click programm device and when it finished came an error message but the board is succesfully programmed and works!!!

Can someone clear this up for me. Flashing with hermes payload as posted abov (the 1st .hex, not the 2nd .hex on psx-scene,  you know what I'm talking about) and installing bootloader v2.....okay thats all fine and dandy.

However there have been alot of complaints in terms of reliability, and yet teams like PS3Key are relasing the same stuff claiming it works......does it work? Is this stuff 100% or does it suffer the same stuff as the homebrew versions?
