PIC PSGrooPIC flashing/DIY guide, FAQ and hex files collections

[xbox1]

yes!!! until as your DIY JailBreak LED KEPP LIGHT ,
it mean your ps3 FREE NOW~
then plug your USB DISK to install some PKG
...............
if the LED always blink light ..blink light ..blink light
check your board ...
--------------
The LED will Keep light after about 10 sec. when you power on ,and prees power botton then press eject

OH! TAHNKS A LOT!

I already see the manager.pgk and i installed it

but i didn't found the BACKUP MANAGER ICON like down pic :



i used this HEX file , it from http://psgroopic.blogspot.com/ V1.4
My question is , The HEX is not support backup manager to run my HDD Game ?

If my attached HEX is not support HDD Game, anybody can give me one HEX to support HDDGAME ?
My schematic is PSGrooPIC 1.2 schematic, and 100% same , used 8MHz crystal
attached HEX is come from http://psgroopic.blogspot.com/ V1.4


thanks again

I have a PIC18F2455 and a 8mhz crystal. I am using ART2003 and tried using the hex file from http://PSgroopIC.blogspot.com, but it failed during the write. I read the settings from the chip and LVP is enabled. I can also erase and read the chip without any problems. I am planning on building the board from the aforementioned site. What hex file do you suggest?

Does it mean that I can't connect the cathode of both leds together first before connecting it to ground? Aka in the pic. Sorry. Will it explode if i connect the 2 led's cathode together?

haha yeah you can connect both together, and then to ground. Its the exact same thing as connecting each one to ground... it's all the same node.

The old FAQ contains too much details people don't need and has bad structure. Confuses people, so I've rewritten it.

I am confused after reading all that
I have a PIC2455 chip, no bootloader, no nothing all the parts and a 12mhz osc. I also have a programmer that also supports pics so I can burn a bootloader. What schematic and bl/hex do I use for that so I can make my own with usb update support? I am also confused about the led function , not that they are crucial but it would be nice to have them

The guide is improved now, check the section of
Good practice
Planning

I am going to make a DIY 18F2550 with 20Hz crystal..

Looks like the metalphreak diagram there is mention of a custombooloader-mp.hex and customerfirmware.hex but i cant find them in the FAQ thread?

I have flashed this bootloader MCHPFSUSB bootloader BTL-pin28-RB7 20MHz custom by MP.zip will use 20Mhz hex from metalphreak and thats with USBPDF app, then it should work (assuming I follow metalphreak PCB layout) right?

This thing about this thread is that there are so many permutations it gets confusion for newbies like me who dont understand pics that wel... maybe it would be better to have seperate threads per pic + board type?.

One for all 18F2550 boards
One for xbox1 nand readers
One for nand-x type boards
etc

Each schema has separate guide now

Guys help me, I just made a Art2003 programmer. When i plug it into the parrallel port to program it , it doesnt work, I tried the hardware test and it says error, hardware not responding. I followed the Art2003 schematics, but i didnt pull pin26 low by grounding it. Its not needed for the Art2003 right?

Only need to ground B5 on the jailbreak board not the programmer board.

Check if you have ticked LVP option in the settings tab, you need to always check it while you use ART2003

Hi,
I'm glad to write in this forum
I read this FAQ and other posts and I tries diddefrent schematics but it wont work.
I'm using this DIY bootloader

Please what exact schematic and hex file should I use?
sorry for my bad english.
Looking forward to your help.
Greetings from Tunisia!

Hi everyone,
i've a request for you:
in Italy many people bought a just-made board based on the pic 18f2550, the board is a 990.020 MuIN USB, i'm new so i cannot post links or similar so if you want to see it search with google "Droids.it 990.020 MuIn USB datasheet [EN]", it would be the ninth result.

However, This board has preloaded Microchip HID USB Bootloader 2.6 so we can flash it with usb and the hid 2.6b software.

The hex PSGrooPIC_wBTL_HEX_V1.4.hex is fully functional apart a little thing

The problem is that this board has a led in A4 pin (even used for the bootloader status) and the hex has the led mapped on B4 pin, i don't know how to modify the hex and i don't know how to compile the source with pcwhd (i cannot find 4.112 version and if i'll find it i don't know how to use it), can you help me?

Thanks a lot

try this,assume it has 8MHz crystal osc because you forget to mention

Edit: now compiled to 12MHz
