Memory Stick IPL Dumper by raing3
==========================================

==========================================
Introduction
==========================================
I couldn't wait for Rain to release his Memory Stick IPL dumper
so I made my own IPL dumper. What it does is dump 256kb from the
Memory Stick starting from sector 16. This is my first application
for the PSP (and C++) so it isn't very good. Rains will probably be
better but I decided to start my own anyway.

I also am really eager to fix the below issues so if anyone has can
offer any assistance with fixing these issues please email me at the
below address. I have also included the source, if you are going to
use any of the source could you give me some credit in your app as I
will give credit for those who help me fix the problems.

==========================================
What is the good of this program?
==========================================
 - You can dump the Datel Action Replay PSP IPL to the Memory Stick
   yippee. Now you can use any MS with action replay without using
   WinHex (great for newbs).
 - It's open source (mostly because I need help fixing it and it is
   only a little bit of code).

==========================================
Known Problems/Issues
==========================================
 - The application doesn't detect the size of the IPL, just dumps
   256kb (slightly larger than the original pandora IPL).

 - The program does not go directly to the IPL sector, it first reads
   8kb of data before it gets to the IPL.

 - The rubbish size may have to change when using different file system
   etc. Not sure but if the size of sectors change it probably will
   have to change.

==========================================
How to use
==========================================
 1. Copy the EBOOT.PBP to X:\PSP\GAME\MS IPL Dumper\EBOOT.PBP
 2. Run the app on the PSP
 3. Open the dumped file (X:\ipl.bin) with a hex editor and look for
    a big bunch of 00's and delete data after it. Thats the best way
    I can describe it (I don't think this is required if the MS is
    properly formatted).
