Jeep's New Proggy Beta Thread

[bobl]

I'm sure Jeep will fill in some detail, he started posting this information about an exiting new program he is building, which allows uploading of games with a flash cable to the 3410 (Something that I think is VERY VERY impressive :D)

I started this thread cause the posts were starting to go off topic.

This thread is for beta testers' experiences in using his program :)

I am also trying to post hints and tips on using this program :)

Enjoy!

Right, now some help for beta testers....

This program apparantly supports full flashes, but it was very slow for me, hence I decided to read in the flash Between 570000-5FFFFF

This is your PMM (not your PPM, don't get them confused)

This is where all your games and some incredibly interesting stuff that Jeep has decoded :)

To get this part of your flash, use the attached program, knok phoenix 1a

Read --> Read flash and store as FLS

Start address: 0x570000
End address: 0x5FFFFF

This won't take long, and you'll end up with a 576kb flash file. This is your PMM chunk.

The instructions are fairly similar for Rolis Flasher, just read in in Dejan FLS format, between the same points :)!

Here is knok phoenix 1a

Cheers Bob, I was going to start a new thread, but never quite got round to it.... :D

I wouldn't work too hard on a user guide at the moment - for starters, it's just you playing with it at the moment, and secondly, I intend to simplify the screen significantly before it goes to a fully released tool.

For those that missed the original discussion, burried in the "prince of persia" thread (:D). I've sucessfully uploaded a game to my 3410 via cable.

It's early days still, but I've decoded a good amount of the PMM area, it's already very easy to extract JADs and JARs from a partial flash. Adding them in is taking a lot more work, but if you're careful, you can replace what's already there.

There are no checksum or FAID problems to deal with - it's a case of reading a partial flash from your phone, playing with this program and then uploading back to the phone. As an added bonus, it's quite straightforward to undelete things as well :D

I'm not going to post the beta here - it's constantly evolving at the moment and I'd never be able to make sure that the version here is up to date. PM an email address & I'll send you the latest version :)

When I first saw how much stuff was stored, it scared the hell out of me!

Thanks for writing the readme file bob :)

Yeh, I've just realised how bad this is. I've got some petrol and burnt the 3410, I'll go and buy a new one later.

I think you may have to create a PMM wiper :)
