Editing Talk:PS3MFW Builder

Basic patches:
*1* Patched LV1 hypervisor to allow mapping of any needed memory area
*2* Patched LV2 kernel to add Peek&Poke system calls to LV2
*3* Patched PKG installer to allow installation of pseudo-retail + debug PKGs
*4* Patched Application launcher to allow running of unsigned applications
*5* Add new icons to XMB to add Install PKGs + /app_home[/code]

Select the following patches for making your own PS3MFW:
Kakaroto PoC: 5
Geohot : 3+5
Wutangrza : 1+2
Waninkoko : 1+2+3+4+5 
Kmeaw / f0xtr()n : 1+2+3+5
graf_chokolo HV-rights: 1(+2?)
and add any patches you like to add to that. There is absolutely no reason at all to use a prepatched PUP someone made for a single firmware version.

All above mentioned patches should work on all retail OFW 3.55, 3.50, 3.42, 3.41, 3.40, 3.30, 3.21, 3.15, 3.10 without problems (*tested them with PS3MFW v0.1 & v0.2).

PS3MFW is probably the most intensive pretested firmware builder existing. I have yet to hear of a single console that bricked with it, that should not have (semi)bricked with a non modified original firmware too (and yes, even consoles can brick with OFW.

For the people that still want a comparison between fluke1/kmeaw and PS3MFW Builder : http://oi53.tinypic.com/oqetrp.jpg

''selected are only the things that are default in fluke1/kmeaw 3.55''

nb: patch Appldr is not available in a public release, it is a personal added task for testing purposes)

lv1dump.pkg needs :

 # Option --patch-lv2-lv1-peek-poke-355: Patch to add LV1 Peek&Poke system calls to LV2 3.55 (LV1 peek/poke patch necessary)
 perhaps it needs to be updated for 315/341
 needs syscall 8
 which can be modified
 its just a little more code
