PS3 LV2Dump v0.7a
Previously
JaicraB with
TeamHades dumped the PS3 hypervisor LV2 (GameOS) and
revealed how it was done, however, the dump was not clean and so work
resumed until today.
To quote from the included ReadMe file: "This application will dump all accessible LV2 memory on a jailbroken retail PS3.
To run this app, place lv2dump_07a.pkg on a usb memory stick. Install the pkg. Then run LV2Dump from the XMB. It should run for approximately 20-30 seconds, then it will exit back to the XMB. There will now be a file named LV2.BIN in the folder /dev_hdd0/game/
You can access your dump by copying the file out with your own code, or the FTP application.
Before attempting another dump, delete the LV2.BIN that is in /dev_hdd0/game/ as the next dump will append to the file if it exists.
The dump is right around 8MB - which will let you take a look at the PS3's kernel.
Expect more tools from us in the future for the PS3."

Here is some shaky late night video of my dump in action.
As a personal note I would be happy to be able to install games on the hard drive or launch homebrew software through official functionalities in the firmware.
Too bad Sony was fool enough not to allow this in the first place.
