Using console / shellscript

By using commandline switches you can preset every task there is, plus the source PUP, destination PUP and debug settings.

Example of PS3MFW Builder 0.2 tasks:

ps3mfw.exe %1 "Y:\PS3-Firmwares" "Z:/PS3MFW-out/test.pup" --change_version --add_license_msg --patch_lv1 --patch_lv2 --patch_nas_plugin --patch_privacy --patch_vsh --patch_category_game --spoof_version --debug true

Example of PS3MFW Builder with OtherOS++ tasks (in this case tasks that fail with FW 3.15 are disabled/not selected):

ps3mfw.exe %1 "Y:\PS3-Firmwares\" "Z:/MFWOtherOS-out/test.pup" --change_version --add_license_msg --patch_lv1 --patch-lv1-dispmgr-access false --patch-lv1-otheros-plus-plus false --patch_lv2 --patch-emer-init --patch_category_game --patch-package-files true --patch-app-home true --patch_nas_plugin --allow-pseudoretail-pkg true --allow-debug-pkg true --patch_vsh --allow-unsigned-app true --patch_privacy --debug true
