RS Psar Dumper is a “derivated” from the original Psar Dumper homebrew for PSP (last version of which was released by HelldashX).
Its functions are the same of classical Psar Dumper (so to dump Firmware from an Official Update Eboot), but with extra features: this version has a user interface full of colors, more interactive and especially it has the new important function to make a dump of Firmware directly on PC, without using Memory Stick! Infact this Homebrew has a USBHostfs connection function with a PC, so the program can read an eboot directly from Hard Disk (that is a good profit because new Sony Update Eboots sizes exceed 20 MB!) and it can also dump the Firmware directly on PC, so Memory Stick is NEVER used during the process!

Note: since v3 this program does NOT violate any Sony Copyright!
If you use it under a 3.80 (or more) Firmware, the program try to get NATIVE support for decompress KL3E (to decompress reboot.bin) and the oldest 2LRZ (to decompress ⇐3.73 firmwares). KL4E in this case is decrypted using an import exported by UtilsForKernel function.

Procedure

Procedure WITHOUT using USBHOSTFS:

Procedure USING USBHOSTFS:

In both the cases will be created a folder called DUMP in the same directory where the Eboot (to decompress) is.
When process will end, in DUMP folder you will can find Firmware files extracted from the Offical Updater Eboot chosen.

Profit

What is the effective profit?

  1. Well, first of all this homebrew does not require free space on Memory Stick (that can be full too!)
  2. You spare time because you do not need to copy files between PC and Memory Stick!
  3. Extracting and dumping process require a very smaller time!

An example? Look to this my little “experiment”:

Technical data:

Result:

Conclusions: Using the new USBHOSTFS function you can gain more than one minute! And also I did not calculate the time needed to copy eboot file from PC to Memory Stick, time that with USBHOSTFS is void!
