Dev_Blind Simple PS3 Writable Dev_Flash Mounter is Released

[PS3 News]

Today jjolano has released Dev_Blind v1.0, a simple PS3 writable Dev_Flash mounter homebrew application followed by version 1.1 with the changelog detailed HERE.

Download: Dev_Blind v1.0 for PS3 / Dev_Blind v1.1 for PS3 / https://github.com/jjolano/dev_blind

To quote: This homebrew just does what the title says (plus unmounting, if you run it again).

Tested on PS3 3.55 (kmeaw, if you need me to be more specific). It should work on any firmware though.

This enables writing to the flash, which is vital to the operation of the console's operating system - use this at your own risk.

This homebrew was created using the PSL1GHT SDK.

Edit: in comparison with FreeFlash: this is ONLY using two syscalls (one for mounting, one for unmounting) - simple, efficient, and works.

And it says "Can be used by various PS3 FTP servers and file managers". Very nice, thanks.

very nice. now, can bdemu.bin be mounted with this?

[pjmiller435]

this was heavily needed and seems like a terrific idea to be able to mount/unmount the flash.

Major props to jjolano, the dev. terrific work here.
