Lua Flashing Mod Functions

[pspfreak9]

Can someone please give me all the functions to the new lua falshing mod. I just want to see what it can do, no i'm not gonna create some kind of flasher so don't call me a noob. I just know it can do other things and I wanna see what it can do. Thank you.

They are all in the sample file Flasher in the mod download. With documentation

[SG57]

The new mod has the following:

-- Unassign an IO device

-- Parameters:
-- dev - IO device to unassign as a string

System.Unassign ( dev )



-- This will unassign your memory stick device
System.Unassign ( "ms0:" )

-- This will assign an IO device

-- Parameters:
-- dev1 - The device name to assign as a string 
-- dev2 - The block device to assign from as a string
-- dev3 - The filesystem device to map the block device to dev1 as a string  

System.Assign ( dev1, dev2, dev3 )



-- This will reassign flash0 (assiging gives that device read and write privelages autoatmically)
System.Assign ( "flash0", "lflash0:0,0", "flashfat0:" )

-- This allows you to write 'source' file to 'destination' file with a flag to remove 'source' file after writing to 'destination'.  NOTE - overwrites if 'destination' exists

-- Parameters:
-- source - File to be copied as a string
-- destination - Place for 'source' to be copied to as a string
-- remove - Flag for removing 'source' file after being copied to 'desitination'.
---- "yes" to remove 'source' file
---- anything else to NOT remove 'source' file

System.writeFile ( source, destination, remove )



-- This will copy your current 'topmenu_plugin.rco' to the root of your memory stick
System.writeFile ( "flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco", "ms0:/", "no" )

-= Double Post =-
Here's an example script to flash or dump an entire basic theme (advanced rco's not included, meaning just the basic rcos).

Hopefully this will stop all the confusion.

white = Color.new(255,255,255)

Pressed = {flash=false,dump=false}

System.createDirectory("ms0:/flash")
System.createDirectory("ms0:/dump")

function DumpTheme()
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco", "ms0:/dump/topmenu_plugin.rco", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco", "ms0:/dump/system_plugin.rco", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_fg.rco", "ms0:/dump/system_plugin_fg.rco", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_bg.rco", "ms0:/dump/system_plugin_bg.rco", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/impose_plugin.rco", "ms0:/dump/impose_plugin.rco", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/01-12.bmp", "ms0:/dump/01-12.bmp", "no")
  System.writeFile( "flash0:/vsh/resource/gameboot.pmf", "ms0:/dump/gameboot.pmf", "no")
end

function FlashTheme()
  System.Unassign("flash0:") -- these 2 lines give us read-write privelages
  System.Assign("flash0:", "lflash0:0,0", "flashfat0:") -- to flash0:

  if io.open("ms0:/flash/topmenu_plugin.rco","r") then
    System.writeFile("ms0:/flash/topmenu_plugin.rco","flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/system_plugin.rco","r") then
    System.writeFile("ms0:/flash/system_plugin.rco","flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/system_plugin_fg.rco","r") then
    System.writeFile("ms0:/flash/system_plugin_fg.rco","flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_fg.rco","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/system_plugin_bg.rco","r") then
    System.writeFile("ms0:/flash/system_plugin_bg.rco","flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_bg.rco","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/impose_plugin.rco","r") then
    System.writeFile("ms0:/flash/impose_plugin.rco","flash0:/vsh/resource/impose_plugin.rco","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/01-12.bmp","r") then
    System.writeFile ("ms0:/flash/01-12.bmp", "flash0:/vsh/resource/01-12.bmp","yes")
  end
  if io.open("ms0:/flash/gameboot.pmf","r") then
    System.writeFile ("ms0:/flash/gameboot.pmf", "flash0:/vsh/resource/gameboot.pmf","yes")
  end
end

wow, thnx for the sample SG57, if you don't mind, can i use it in my theme flasher ? I was like 3 lines away from writing this but you beat me to it.

[SG57]

Nah, go ahead. It isnt too complicated, so theres no need to hollar 'zomg you copied me!' like so many other lua-users...
