Guide
How to install
First, you need to install Rockbox firmware on your device.
Once installed, you will have to replace a file with another one.
The new file fully disable the Rockbox USB functionality and allow PSGroove to send Data to the PS3.
Rockbox USB functionality will not work anymore (computer interaction, file browsing, etc.), use the Disk mode (Select+play when booting an iPod) to connect to computer to acces your player's files.
Rockbox firmware installation
1. Download the Rockbox installer.
2. Run the program and go to the file/preferences to pick your device's model.
3. Then, go to Installation tab, and install the bootloader
4. Once done, install Rockbox and select either the Stable Rockbox, or the Archived version if you want to retain your Rockbox usability as a normal player.
Note : The best choice would be to install the exact same revision which was used by the PSGroove patch. The installer doesn't give you the choice to install a given revision, you will have to download it yourself and replace the .rockbox folder on your device manually.
PSGroove installation
ATTENTION : PSGroove replace the USB mode by a USB Hub. Connecting the device to your computer won't work anymore unless you force the Disk mode. To access Disk mode on an iPod: Reset your player (hold Menu+Select), when you see the Apple logo hold Select+Play.
Installing PSgroove on your player can be done using 2 methods :
1. RockBox-PSGroove Installer
Rockbox-PSGroove installer Requires Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0
It will install a new bootloader to your media player which allow you to select which firmware you want to use (Original, Rockbox, PSGroove, Disk mode).
It will then replace your rockbox firmware with one from the included PSGroove patched firmware to your player.
Pros :
- Easy and automatic installation for many devices
- Install a Bootloader menu (iPod, Linux, Rockbox, PSGroove)
Cons :
- Only for Windows
- No PSGroove version choice (You have to download the needed PSGroove files and replace them in the installer sub-folder before using the installation button)
2. Manual installation
Replace device:/.rockbox/rockbox.ipod (if you are using an iPod) by the one provided by your PSGroove compiled binary
How to use
1. Power cycle the PS3
2. Disconnect your earphones, and Reset the Ipod with Menu+Select (Important for first PSGroove versions!).
3. When Rockbox is loaded, connect the device to the PS3, power ON the console and push Reset quickly.
FAQ
- Does the original PSGroove port for Rockbox read bdvd?
No, you have to modify the source and recompile, (patching the rockbox.ipod in an hexeditor doesn't work. Rockbox won't boot because of checksum error)
- How to enable bdvd?
Search for 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78 and change it to 0x62, 0x64, 0x76, 0x64 (Line 1314 of the original .patch)
- If I enable bdvd, will it work with any backupManager?
No, you have to use a compatible payload.
- Backup Manager v2.0 needs PSGroove Hermes v1.1
- Open Manager v1.13 needs PSGroove Hermes v2.0
- Open manager v1.16 needs PSGroove Hermes v3.0

PSGroove
Original PSGroove port to rockbox video.
Rockbox patch provided by shuffle2.
This is a patch for rockbox which replaces usb functionality with that of psgroove. Currently it is only functional on PP502x targets, and has only been tested on a 5th generation ipod video. Additionally, the descriptors/payload is the vanilla psgroove data at the moment. I hope to eventually port Aaron's changes to build descriptors at compile time... or someone else can do this change and commit it :)
Note : This PSGroove port doesn't include the bdvd access. It's for homebrews only.
