[WIP]: PSP Bios (RM)

[legendmythe]

No! It does some stuff to the Flash0 and writes to Flash1 so don't try this! Later I might make one for HEN/LCFW but this one is only for Hackable PSP

I've done reverse-engineering (yeah, it sounds proudly ) and you are using NO FLASH WRITING FUNCTIONS (all sceNand imports are about READING flash). And I didn't found "flash0:" string in data section of your RM. I know you are using example code from other programs (there is nothing to be shamed, especially on the beginning), but it will be nice if you read pasted code and understand what it is doing.

So it's 99% safe to launch your RM on 3k/GO. What about this missing 1%? In Poland we used to say: If you have bad luck, brick will smash your head even in wooden church.

Yes, it only writes to flash1 but I don't want to take any risks.

Flash1 only stores the settings... If anything gets broken, the PSP will just bluescreen and tell you to press circle to restore the default settings. I don't think you can cause an unrecoverable brick through flash1. Flash2 and 3 aren't dangerous either; I don't know the use for f2 (theme stuff maybe?) but f3 is never used at all.

Flash0, on the other hand, is really dangerous. You break something and your PSP is scr..ed... As long as your app doesn't touch flash0 I think people will be fine.

Ok... Then flash3 is only used in Japan (the 1seg thing is the Japanese TV tuner, right?)

@legendmythe: are you sure you want to lie to me telling you wrote the whole code of this? Think again.
