PSP Tool changelog

PSP Tool is a multi-purpose application designed for the PlayStation Portable console to perform various general management functions with the console. Initially PSP Tool was designed just for extracting the IPL from the Memory Stick but has since expanded and incorporates many other diagnostics functions.The changes made in version 1.00 are * Added: Detection of HEN version under System Information (thanks to Davee). * Added: Detection of TA-088v3, TA-090 and TA-090v2 motherboards under System Information. * Fixed: Made a change to improve the reliability of extracting an IPL using the first option. * Fixed: If the original PSP firmware version cannot be retrieved “N/A” will be shown instead of nothing. * Fixed: Crash if circle is enter. * Fixed: The battery menu can no longer be accessed if the PSP does not support reading/writting to the battery EEPROM. * Other: Changed the wave style used. * Other: Decreased RAM usage by a massive ~2MB.

Here is version 0.9, this is probably the final version unless there are some more issues found or if I can add support for the dreaded 3.71 firmware or a new version of DC is released. I've had this much done for a couple of weeks now and I was hoping to add something more but I'm out of ideas.PSP Tool is a multi-purpose utility to application which can perform various general management functions on a PlayStation Portable console. This includes:- Backup and Restore the IdStorage of the PSP- Check the IPL injected on the Memory Stick or a file located on the Memory Stick- Check, Backup, Restore and change the battery EEPROM- Connect various devices through a USB cable- Create a checksum of the IPL injected on the Memory Stick or an IPL located on the Memory Stick- Create a variety of different Magic Memory Sticks- Erase the entire IPL space of the Memory Stick- Extract the IPL injected on the Memory Stick to a file- Format the Memory Stick- Inject a variety of included IPLs or an IPL from a file to the Memory StickIn this release I made the following changes:- Added: Support for 2.71 SE and 1.50 running under Time Machine and check to disable running on 3.71.- Fixed: RSOD when choosing ‘Test M33’ feature on a DC7 MMS created with this application (only occured on Fat).- Fixed: Issue using SQUARE as part of the boot key when creating a Magic Memory Stick.- Fixed: Issue which could arise when creating more than one Magic Memory Stick in a single session.- Other: Other Memory Sticks can now be formatted by first clicking on the format item in the menu and before answering yes to the questions insert the second Memory Stick.- Other: To reduce the risk of a BSOD when installing or running a firmware from a Magic Memory Stick the registry of a 1.50 system is now copied instead of the registry of the current system (to use the current systems registry files hold the L trigger while the Magic Memory Stick is being created.)- Other: Implemented a check for modules which are known to cause issues with PSP Tool. If any of these modules are found a message is first shown with the modules which need to be disabled and then the PSP performs a reboot. To disable this check hold the R trigger while loading the game.- Updated: Now uses VLF library 1.0 by moonlight.- Updated: Updated the information shown in the System Information panels.

Big changes are up for raing3's multi-purpose IPL/memstick management application for the PSP. We haven't heard about PSP Tool for quite some time now, and fortunately, it hasn't gotten a new name change too.For those who haven't kept track of PSP Tool, it allows you to back up and restore yoru PSP's IdStorage, and inject or erase some IPLs. It's pretty useful, and the GUI menu is pretty self-explanatory. For this version, raing3 has added a lot of changes.Changelog for PSP Tool v0.8: * Added options to create DC3, DC4, DC5, DC7, DC8 or an original 1.50 Update Flasher Magic Memory Sticks (read manual for requirements, same as original installers). * Added a Memory Stick format function based on Hellcats Pandora Installer. * The wave colours are now random and customizable (the wave colours can be changed by pressing SQUARE or holding L while pressing square toggles between the flash0 colours and the internal colours). * Other minor alterations and fixes. * Fixed crash when attempting to use a flash via USB when run under DC. * All files (except loaded PRXs) are now stored in a zip archive in the PSAR section of the EBOOT for easy editing. * Sources are no longer included to reduce file size. * IdStorage keys are now saved and restored from a single file and the integrity of the file is validated before restoration. * Added more information to the system information pandels.Raing3 notes that the format function was only added at the last minute so there may be some bugs with it still. He says he was able to use the function with his two memsticks just fine (1GB Sony, 4GB SanDisk), but says that there could be some unforeseen hitches.The download archive includes a useful pdf outlining all the documentation you might need. If all else fails, there's still the forum.
