NORway v0.5 Changelog:
- Added block table for Samsung K8Q2815UQB. The programming modes "writeword" and "writewordubm" don't require manual chip/sector erase prior to writing anymore!
- Bugfix: "NORway.py COMx release" didn't work. Now you can leave Teensy powered at all times and console will boot up correctly after issuing a "release" command
- Bugfix: increased TRANSMIT_TIMEOUT for Teensy's serial device to 10000ms (required for OS X)
- Bugfix: disabled DSR/DTR flow control (wasn't working reliably on OS X)
- Bugfix: TRISTATE wasn't set correctly
- Added additional verification when writing is done. Although each write command verifies each written sector/block, it happened that written bytes weren't persistent
- Added "verify" command
NORway v0.6 Beta Changelog:
- Changed programming modes "write", "writeword" and "writewordubm" to "vwrite", "vwriteword" and "vwritewordubm".
- Added new programming modes that skip verification for single 4KB blocks: "write", "writeword" and "writewordubm".
- Moved verification algorithm to Teensy.
CFW: Custom Firmware (made by third parties)
MFW: Modified Firmware (not completely custom, but modified OFW. Lighter than the CFW)
OFW: Original Firm...
PS: Keep your Teensy's for the PS4 (whenever it arrives) - I'm sure it will come in handy!
Lol I remember those.. am sure they will use better pasties for the strip job.. this time around..
But i think, I'll just wait for the downgrade package install or something.. or maybe even a custom upgrade->downgrade method than soldering.. I don't have that steady hands for this fine soldering job.. it'll be a nightmare.. I know how i soldered the dvd9 mod to the ps2 back in the day..
