Dumping nand partitions

Hi,
I'm using the dax code of the "Open Nand Dumper",
but if I want to dump only a partition of the NAND? ( flash0, 1, 2 and 3 )
I've to dump the blocks from x to y, right?
But X and Y are unknown for me...

oh, maybe it is a stupid idea, but if you see the samples, you can see how dump falsh0 and flash1... then you can make some functions that can dump flash2 and flash3 too... can it help you?

I've already see your functions but if I'm right this function copy file by file the flash, nothing else!
I want to dump the blocks, this is probably better than copy all the files...

Have you seen "nand samples" too? there is an example how to dump all IPL block, maybe you can convert it for your functions...

For that ( I think ) that I've to know which blocks I've to dump...

If I try to dump it with:

Code: Select all

sceIoOpen&#40;"flash0&#58;", PSP_O_RDONLY, 0777&#41;;

I can copy it correctly, or I've to dump it by blocks like a UMD?

You might try looking at existing nand dump type programs. The original 3.xx HEN even had a nand dump app as an example.

I've decided to doesn't add flash dump support, because if I add it I've to add the flasher, and I don't wan't to add this!
I've only added the nand dumper.
Anyway thanks J.F.!
