Sounds like pretty cool stuff to me.    Now when can we get a timeline on that patch?

[scener]

In the rar there is a testing patch.

[SteveOA]

sounds like the final for everything isn't to far away

[Zenofex]

maybe really soon :-D

*sigh* yet another piece of software that doesn't serve a purpose, at least not yet anyways. I think they're just trying to torture us.

How does this not serve a purpose ??

If your not a noob you can follow the tutorials up on any of the sites out there .

This does not seem to have a purpose because this seems to do just the same as any other 'patcher, like ppf-o-matic.

So unless I am very much mistaken this is just a tool like ppf-o-matic where the only difference is that this is specifically meant for firmwares.

ppf-o-matic can do the same.

Or maybe someone can correct me?

Wait a second. Am I correct in saying you must first extract your DVD drive key.

This would mean that, whenever the firmware is released - you will need to get the key (which you can already do with other programs), then patch the patch!

Is that right?

EDIT: Woops, you will obviously patch the firmware and then write your DVD key after.

It does serve a purpose but one that we already have hundrets of programs for. Its like making another notepad: interesting for the coder but chances that somebody really needs it are slim.

Erm, correct me if Im mistaken - but this is the first program to be able to patch a firmware.

The rest are just DVD key tools.

Let's see, patch tools you could use to patch a firmware:
-PPF
-APE
-over 60 more at http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/patch-engine.html

By the way, some of these tools could easily patch the drive key as well if you customize (for example) the PPF you download.

And what's wrong with a generic ppf/diff tool? Is this really needed?

Oh sorry, point taken  .

What we really need is a flasher and the actual firmware!!!
