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
