You cant do that, Below is what the author said:

right, full ram dumping doesn't work, yet. you need to use graf's linux kernel to make a full dump, sorry

Its things like this that make me sad I got rid of my PS3's. OK, according to $0Ny we don't own our consoles and they are the voice of their own god. I hope to see a DVR app strait from XMB for all those hacked consoles! This is good news.

I wonder if the extra memory obtained from a fake mini Hyper Visor take the originals place will allow cross game chat? or may be playing your own MP3's on any game like the hacked psp could.

These programmers are making great strides towards a console the really does everything! Good luck and may "Graf" be with you.
