uf6667 has been busy again, and updated the flasher software interface for ProgSkeet, and it finally adds support for the SAMSUNG flash memory, so it now supports basically every model of PS3 out there!

It also adds ByteSwap and Differential flash these two options are useful for downgraders, as it removes the need of using an extra program to swap bytes, and when writing back the new file, it speeds up the progress as it only writes the flash sectors that have infact been changed!
110819:
- NOR: verification is only done if "verify" is checked and only after it's done flashing
- NOR: added "ByteSwap" so you don't have to use any additional app to reverse the bytes - goes for dump and flash (for transplanet v1 but you can also use the unaltered version of norunpack this way)
- Logging: moved the log file to the application directory so you don't need admin rights
Notes:
*) if you're using 16MByte SAMSUNG NOR, please use Sector Size: 4kB/ Sector Count: 4096 and check "alternate writing method".
*) Differential flash, if you haven't noticed yet, will skip unnecessary writes (compares data on chip vs data in file)
yours truly,
uf6667
Great job uf6667, as always check out their official site for more information: http://www.PROGSKEET.com
UPDATES:
Any more things people want me to add to the flasher? Otherwise I start porting to Linux/OSX...
NOTICE:
Because of all the ProgSkeet news and other great ways to flash firmware, and downgrading that is now possible, and up-coming new exploits, we here at PS3Crunch have open up a new support forum section just this topics and related subjects, check it out at:
