I am trying to do a complete dump of a few firmwares, however PSAR Dumper only dumps the flash0. I have looked through code of other programs and also the PSPSDK samples, but I haven't found a way to dump the flash1. Can anybody help me figure this out?

The fileio example dumps an entire filesystem,
in fact you can compile it, and dump flash 1 straight away.
Code: Select all
printf("Press square to dump flash1\n");

I know that, I'm wondering how to dump the flash1 from an Eboot (more specifically a data.psar)

data.psar does not contain any flash1 data. It is more likely to be generated by things in flash0 I think.

OK, so how would I extract it from the data in the flash0?

You can't, it is created by the firmware itself.

Really? Because if I remember correctly, a few of the old versions of PSAR Dumper used to generate the flash1. How was that possible?

eh.. Did they? If so, probably the dumper just generated itself. I'm sure it's not from the pbp.

Yes, it was copied from the PSPs flash1.
