There is one thing That I've always wanted to know. You know how DAX makes custom firmwares? I really want to know how or what files get patched in the process to enable custom firmware. I've searched everywhere using google and nothing came up can anyone tell me how this works or what gets patched during the installation. Maybe even what the custom firmware files are [ie march33.prx]? Thanks
C?
lol
most people would use c++ for this type of thing because it can be run cross platform... (with correct headers... of course there is unmanaged C which I don't know much about and c# which is managed by microsoft and usually only works natively on windows)
I know most computer system OS are loaded up with a bootstrapper (a dll or function that loads drivers and functions and hooks into the OS and starts loading what needs to be loaded)
Most are done in assembly language or I guess they could be written in DOS....
So I imagine he found an exploit within the psp that allowed him to load a bootstrapper that in turn allowed him to run a program...
Or he just searched for ways to get the psp to hook into and run his custom programs...
from there he probably took the official firmware packages and edited them to suit his needs... (Either hex editing or disassembling them?)
That's just my guess >.<
