Access Flashes while in Service Mode?

Post by Gh0st-UPMS »

How do you access the flashes while running in service mode, as ms0 takes the role of flash0 and obviously anything you try to read/write returns ms0.

Would just like to know how this is done.

Thanks in advance.

Boot the MS IPL, load some of sony's PRXs and access flash normally. It is NOT recommended being a smartass and rerouting the TinyFat accesses to flash :) (Unless you want to destroy your IDStorage)

Thanks adrahil.
Don't want to destroy any IDStorage by using the TinyFat system, what sony prx's do I need to load?

The basic firmware :) You can look at what is loaded by Desperator Cemeterio for an example.
