FULL vita memory card dump !

[John V. North]

I know nothing of programming and hacking, so could some tell me, what exacly can we possibly acheive with the memory card dump?

refer to this article for a few possibilities.

it would be great if anyone put a memory stick inside a debug psvita at ps event (like gamescom), make a mini and full core dump and try to decrypt it. Maybe anyone know how to do with these file

nevermind, seems that the dump can only be upload

Debug vita don't store any more decrypted into than retail.

So is a pinout for the mem stick going to be released soon, or is the method used not direct interface?

I believe their method may be a local inclusion or directory traversal bug. I don't think this was done via pin interface (hardware method). Maybe they would like to clarify?

How do you know?

I simply don't know. it looks like just a modified m2 shell. Usually Sony re-use the same things they have by improving them with new hardware inside. That's why i supposed that it was just a modified M2.

I've got evidence to the contrary. Be interested to hear why you think so though?

Well, actually it looks the same (i have an M2 and it has the same size) only the pins differs.

I have spent some decent time looking into many aspects of the hardware. In the case of the memory media, I have decapped the package, chucked the die under a microscope, sniffed/dumped the protocol etc.
They have a similar form factor to an M2, but are more like a micro SD card internally, as far as circuit design, microcontroller and flash chip(s) are concerned.

No offence, but it is like saying, "an orange and a lemon are the same - they are just different colours". They may both be citrus, but they are not both oranges.

Anyway, this is a bit off topic.

No offence at all.
Actually i never said it was an M2 inside.I expressed myself badly, i'm sorry. I haven't decapped the chip, so mine was just an assumption. I thought it was a good thought just because i saw it the best idea that Sony (a corporation that now is losing money) could have on a new proprietary memory card.
Anyway from the info you gave me now, i was right. M2 memory cards are quite rare (at the least here, where i live), so making a "modified M2" was, for me, the best idea they could have, since they just need to use the old M2 shell + a new (existing) integrated circuit ("like a micro SD card internally").

Ah, then perhaps you would be able to give a little insight to the pinout?
