N4ru Flash Loader

Post by actarus1973 »

Automatically translated from French.

N4ru Flash Loader n4ru offers us a PS3 application self-proclaimed as the successor to the famous JaiCrab USB Loader thanks to the use of the SynaPS3 library.
Image unavailable (removed by its host) According to the author's explanations, the Jaicrab Loader was developed back when we still had to use peek/poke to remount/link the different directories.
We now have syscall35 (PL3), and syscall8 (Hermes) to remount/link the directories.
This makes things much easier.

This Custom-Firmware loader is therefore universal and works with both PL3 and Hermes payloads.

Usage:

Create a folder named "cfw" at the root of your USB drive (Fat32) or USB hard drive (Fat32), or your SD-Card (Fat32) or your Internal hard drive (HDD0) and place there the "dev_flash" folder from the dump (modified or not) of the PS3 firmware to load, then create a "cfw" folder inside the "dev_flash" folder you copied.

This loader therefore supports loading a firmware from your hard drive, once you've finished building your firmware/custom-firmware and copied everything to the root of the hard drive as indicated, simply launch n4ru (flash loader).

In addition to mounting your /dev_flash, this application can also unmount your firmware/custom-firmware the next time you launch it after having already used it.

The check for the presence of the "cfw" folder happens in this order of priority:

1: Hard drive
2: Cards
3: USB

With the recent appearance of the ability to decrypt, modify, and rebuild the PS3 firmware's libraries (*.SPRX, this can concern features, audio/video codecs, etc...) and the executables (*.SELF, for PSone/PS2/PSP support for example), it seems clear that the best is yet to come!
Don't hesitate to run all sorts of tests, and to give your impressions, share any progress!

Note: the author wasn't able to test the application, it might therefore not work at all, don't hesitate to report information regarding any bugs. The sources are available in the archive.
