 |
|
Hi all!, first of all I must say that I'm a tootal noob in "system development", so please forgive me if I ask noobish questions.
Now, I've a few questions:
- If I use flashing utility in devhook, is a breaking possible?
- Can I use the emulated firmwares from devhook to try the prx development in a safely way?
- Is it possible to develop something like a new OS in devhook safely?
- Last one (for now, at least ;) ), is the devhook sdk only for devhook add on development?
Thanks All |

I'm no coder but i'll try to answer some of you questions:
- If I use flashing utility in devhook, is a breaking possible?
flashing is always risky you could end up with a brick. Personnaly I've been messing with the flash memory for quite a time and nothing happend..
- Can I use the emulated firmwares from devhook to try the prx development in a safely way?
Yes you can
- Is it possible to develop something like a new OS in devhook safely?
What do you mean by new OS in devhook?
If you mean testing a shell on emulated devhook, yes it should work
- Last one (for now, at least ;) ), is the devhook sdk only for devhook add on development?
I guess the devhook sdk is for making compatible eboot under emulated firmware..
I'm not quite sure about these answer so if anyone care to back me up I'll be relieved :=)
happy coding! |

yes, the devhook sdk is for devhook application development :)
For the non-emulated firmwares use the standard ways... You should follow a special procedure for some of the firmwares though... (like tiff) |

All info are very usefull.
I wanto to clarify a bit the first question: what I meant was

| It should touch to the emulated one UNLESS YOU USE HARDWARE.... Devhook remaps flash0/1 to memory stick :) But the real HW is still accessible by hardware calls... |

| By "hardware call" you mean all the Nand calls? |
