NAND Currency v1.2

Posted by x3sphere at April 16, 2009, 11:37 pm


Homebrew developer angelsniper45 has released an update to NAND Currency, a utility that allows users to make a complete backup of the PSP’s on-board flash memory for restoration or archival purposes. It is heavily based on Open Source NAND Dumper, originally written by cory1492.

Fully optimized, version 1.2 aims to increase usability and features a redesigned EBOOT image.

very nice, +rep
when you get the restore function up and running maybe we could put this in flash spacer?
also, i need someone to test dumping act.dat from flash2 to ms, i dont use the ps store so i dont have it. i can read+write to and from flash2 i dont know about act.dat cause i dont have it ;P if you dont mid ofcourse

x3sphere says:

Why exactly would you think that? Just because there are not many comments does not mean people aren't using it. Anyway, I'm curious, is there any difference as to how this dumps the NAND when compared to the program cory1492 made?

jx233 says:

I don't know. :huh: Maybe all the buzz and excitement over the Easter Exploit distracted people from homebrew releases.

Well, if you post this on other forums, it will get more attention then and be more widely known. That's what other developers sometimes do, and it works.


Besides, not many people are online over the weekends and holidays so just wait until the week passes by, and you will get more downloads or comments.


Also, can this homebrew be ported to 1.50 kernel?

angelsniper45 says:

Yea, I rewrote the code, I just focused more on the actuall udump than usability. Thatz going to be in v1.5. It possiblethat it can.

Your App has been posted on PSP4noobz, so it's reaching the world, angel sniper :wink:

Well done, Nand currency@PSP4noobz

angelsniper45 says:

Awsome. I was just expecting a bit more since cygwin is the master of givingout crap. I cant tell you how many nights I wastes on trying to install that damn toolcahin. :D

alex_e says:

angelsniper45 says:

is that good or bad? lawl. Im going to release v1.1 later tonight if i have time to, already added some more usabilty, but thats going to have to be kept secret for now.

alex_e says:

nice....
its good btw ;)

angelsniper45 says:

Now updated to version 1.2!!

jx233 says:

Turns out people love the source more than they love the program you made. :biggrin:

x3sphere says:

Heh, but you aren't taking the downloads page into account...

http://downloads.exophase.com/479/nand-currency-v10/

It received 79 downloads over there. eXo's main page receives quite a bit more traffic than the forum, at least double.

Anyway, nice work on v1.2. Keep it up :)

alex_e: all one needs to get a valid act.dat is to use the PC based PSN dowloader to get a demo and put it on your PSP - though it's in fact just a tiny bin file which such operations could be verified with any file, a hex editor and m33's usb mount options.

angelsniper45: I too gave up on cygwin long ago, used VMware linux for a bit until Heimdal made his minwin releases - which I now treasure for the gold they are :)

I was never able to get raw NAND flashing stable enough for my liking from a 'live' PSP (firmware running from flash instead of MS using known good test code resulted in seemingly random and rare bricks/corruption), but if you'd like a look into any of my flashing source just let me know.

angelsniper45 says:

Wow!! Cory1492! Yeah, do you have source for intrafont? Ive been truying to incoporate it, since the
Default text wouldnt suit a shell, I have the libraries and what not.

Ive gotten some very stable dumps, and so far no bricksor bugs have been reported, and yeah, I love using native win commands to compileeboots. I cant tellyou how many nights I wasted trying to installcywgin and the toolchain.

angelsniper45 says:

Now updated to v1.4!!!

magixien says:

Hi,

just say me if i'am wrong.

1 - You announce v1.4 and the file is named Nand Currency v1.20.zip.. so 1.4 or 1.2 ?

2 - I test this version but I have a 80020130 error (on slim in 5.02gen and 5.00M33)

so ?

EDIT : ok, i understand, the eboot.pbp under the Nand Currency v1.20.zip is the v1.4 version. Note the v1.2 is not ok.

EDIT 2 : note that your v2 doesn't works and that all site publish it without any test.... QJ, dcemu, exophase. I like all that sites that never test anything before publihsing lol

EDIT 3 : http://www.pspgen.com/nand-currency-v1-4-faites-copie-votre-nand-actualite-186904.html

angelsniper45 says:

It should work maxi, do you have the nand.prx is the folder?

Also, save the eboot onto your computer, then replace the one in the original folder with the new one.

x3sphere says:

magixien is right, v1.2 fails to load on a Slim unit. The problem seems to be fixed in v1.4, however.
