This tutorial is for using the TI 83 Silver and TI 89 Platinum to play jailbroken/downloaded PS3 games from the internet.
If you do not have a PS3 with 3.41 or later firmware, you will have to purchase some special software/hardware that takes your 3.50 firmware to 3.41 or later. If you do not have 3.41 or later firmware, DO NOT CONTINUE.
I would recommend having 3.41 firmware since most payloads and packages support 3.41.
TI 83 Silver Instructions:
Coming soon.
TI 89 Platinum:
Since I have a 89 Platinum, I decided to start on this first.
Requirements:
- PS3 with 3.41 f/w
- TI 89 Titanium calculator with USB dongle
- TI-Connect
- External Hard drive or thumb drive with FAT file format (Make sure its recognized by your PS3 before continuing).
Instructions to install PS3JB:
- Connect your TI 89 titanium to your computer via USB dongle
- Start up TI-Connect
- Open "TIDeviceExplorer"
- Select your calculator
- Drag the following packages to your calculator:
- 1) PS3JB89.89z from ""
- 2) HERM4BS.89y from ""
- They will install, now you are done with PC. Disconnect the usb cord from your PC and connect it to your PS3.
- Ensure your PS3 is turned off.
- Start up the calculator, press HOME.
- It should take you to the screen where you enter in your maths.
- Now press 2nd + var-link (-) and select "ps3jb89" and hit enter
- Next press ")" and hit enter
- PS3JB89 should boot up
- Now you need to configure it to work properly. Press f4
- Stage one needs an entry, press 2nd + Var-Link (-) and choose herm4bs and hit enter.
- Where it says "Use Device 6?", select yes
- Now press OK and lets get the show on the road
- Press F1 to start the process, and let it sit there
- Turn off your PS3 completely (use the switch in the back of the PS3)
- Turn it back on
- Now the led on the front should be red
- This is where shit gets tricky, press the power button, and the eject button immediately after.
- If you don't do it correctly you will have to turn off the ps3 and do this step again
- The best indicator of this is when the calculator hangs at stage 5 and never gets to stage 6 and never tells you "press any key to quit."
- If done correctly, you should be able to install packages from the game menu and start any packages
- Anyways, here is where you will want to install packages.
- Basically get a thumb drive with FAT file format, and drag the PAK files you want to install on it.
- Connect it to your PS3 and go to "Install PAK files" from your game menu
- Choose the pak file to install, and there you go
- Recommended pak files would be PS3-FTP-Server (Download: ) (fast transfer of games to your PS3) and Gaia v1.04 (Download: ) (To start the games). I have attached them below
- Once you have them installed, you can transfer your files via FTP (Start the package and start the server, then go to your PC and connect to that IP... Ensure you are networked (Common sense)). The games go into HDD0/Gamez folder (You might have to make it if you have not started Gaia.
- If you prefer to transfer it VIA usb and you have a 8+ gigabyte thumb drive with FAT file format, you can make a "Gamez" folder in the root of the thumb drive and drag your jail broken games in there granted you have enough space. You may run into problems if the game has files larger than 4 gigs, so using the FTP method is preferred.
- To start the game, start Gaia, insert a game you already have (YOU HAVE TO DO THIS OR THE GAME WILL NOT SHOW UP), then select the game you want and wait for it to take you to the game menu.
Thats all folks.
This is a pretty coarse set of instructions. I wrote this because I had trouble finding any reliable/working instructions on the net. I will refine this, add screenshots and add instructions for other methods later.
I have attached the files I have used, these instructions are confirmed to work on 11/24/10. Got any questions? Ask them here...

Wow thanks for helping out the ps3 section dave.
Thanks for the tutorial man.
There's a list of items you can jailbreak with on PSFreedoms wiki I think! Haven't checked up on the whole PS3 Hacking see lately as I have been Playing COD:BO|NFS:HP|GT5 (Soon)

i gave up on black ops i got to bored
THNX for the tutorial its really helpful....been looking all over the place for a nice clean tutorial, really appreciate it.
3.50 Firmware and the developers SDK is a pain in the ass to get games to work online, even if your using Hermes V4 loader! I've been reading around and honestly Jailbreaking at the moment isn't worth the hassle! (Unless you have two PS3's). Other than this there's nothing really available for Modders to use in terms of online game hacking as most of the recent games use Sony's new encryptions and file extensions on client sided files (Game Saves etc).
Typed using MPGH mobile!
nice. This might seem like a silly question to some of you but is it possible to still play online with games when they have been downloaded? Im asking this because when i did this with my Xbox i couldnt play online
