my point was what good is this software without a patch? A patcher without a patch serves no purpose. We have all this software that really doesn't really do anything useful, at least not til we get a patch/firmware. that was my point. and no, I'm not a noob, I just don't feel like nor have the time to go searching through the firmware and removing all static references and then adding in all the code to refer to the moved security sector and so on and so forth. By the time I do that, someone else will have already released a patch/firmware, and all those hours of my life would've been wasted. my time's better spent on something like the psp, which apparently no one cares about anymore because there haven't been any new developments in over 6 months.
