Can the PSGroove be ported to propeller?

Can http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove/blob/master/psgroove.c which is for AT90USB microcontrollers be ported to work on the prop? I'd like to jailbreak my PS3 but currently the prop is all I have on hand. (And everything that came in the prop education kit dip. and some other stuff)

    I can't tell what it's supposed to do, so I can't be sure. But, looking at the code, it does something over USB, which might or might not be an issue.

    I know someone wrote a USB driver, but it was limited and I'm not sure if it is suitable for what you are looking for.

    What is PSGroove? The code/site are very light on its description.

    Yeah, it does stuff over USB basically.. It's a hack for the PS3 that allows it to run unsigned code.

    I love this idea as much as the next pirate, but let's be careful about posting code here that would make Sony look this direction. ;)

    That being said, I seriously doubt there is enough power in the Propeller I to pull this off. (Please prove me wrong. :) ) Prop2 on the other hand....

    It looks as though Sony is taking people to court over that hack:

    Meh, Sony is taking to court the people who were selling the USB dongles that could do the hack for $150, specifically advertising it's ability to play backups/pirated games. The PSGroove hack is free, open source, and doesn't include any code that lets you run backups. PSGroove simply lets you run unsigned code which is totally legal.
