I was messing around with a hex editor and the 3.30 OE-A recovery prx and it works.

This lets you launch recovery from your GAME menu. I'm wondering if anyone has the technical know-how to have it run the PRX directly from the flash so it works with all future versions of DAX's firmware.

Edit: Changed folder name to recovery loader =o

yummy

PS:You shouldn't have named the folder RECOVERY because that screws people up when it replaces their firmware recovery folder but whatever

Negi - Wild guess...

Code:

LoadStartModule("flash0:/kn/recovery.prx"); // or whereever its located

// you may find LoadStartModule function in the SDK samples, used in the USB sample

Unless it requires some special launching method, that should work...

Heh, I know nothing about coding for the PSP. How would I just put that inside an EBOOT?

Youd get the source to your eboot your using, replace the current one loading it from the memory stick to load from flash.

I hex edited recovery.prx into an eboot. I didn't write any code. If someone else could just have the eboot load the prx from the flash with like 2 lines of code, this would be compatible with pretty much anything.

God.... WHY would you need to do this kind of thing? It's totally stupid... Do something really useful

Negi · 04-16-2007, 05:50 PM

So I don't need to turn off the PSP completely to enter recovery. I made it for myself and figured I'd post it to see if anyone knew how to load recovery from flash.

It's not up to you to decide if something is stupid and not useful. People use different things for different purposes you may not need. People may need this if recovery doesn't work for them and need to access this a second way. Or they can use this for a faster way. Don't call things stupid just because you don't see anything you can use from this.

If I change the name of this app too something like 'Recovery Loader' but still keep the actual recovery folder as 'Recovery', will I be able to perform emergency downgrades?

Not bad at all.
This is very convenient. Thanks!

IS there any difference?
