OK, so everybody knows when you start up your PSP, the Memory Stick light flashes for a second. I think it may be doing something with the IND file (files if you use a Memory Stick Duo PRO) in the root of the MS, possibly writing then deleting something, because when you open it, it is blank. Could there be a way to do something with these, place code in them, or something, so when you start your PSP, it will be executed? Just a random thought, but, hey, you never know...

Points: 1.44 Donate | | | I have no idea what they're for. I deleted both of them (MEMSTICK.IND and MSTK_PRO.IND) but I didn't even get an error message and they weren't there when I started up my PSP again after restarting it. |

That's like asking what Windows does when you start it. |

Points: 84,973,253,490.38 Donate | | | ....ur right its probably just checking if one is in. but what are those files for?!? |
01-02-2006, 08:38 PM
| | | I think .ind files are not used i tried a lot of things with it but nothing 
Then for the start up's light:
It can be just an initialisation of the ms adaptor, the psp checks if there's any ms and "mounts" it, or maybe it checks a "secret sector" that could contain some rescue boot code..., MPH told he tried to put some code on the MBR but nothing. My idea's to connect to the psp's ms socket a machine that could "catch" the sectors the psp tries to access, but i don't know how to do that... |

Points: 84,973,253,490.38 Donate | | | interesting. it may have something to do with the boot, but i dont think you can log it. |

| | | | If there's a good electronician here plz say us if exchanges between the psp and the ms can be catched during the boot?!
I have another idea, but very dangerous: i read about the browser's bug that reinstalls the fw, i think if you remove the ms during the update about 98%, maybe the psp will boot (not sure! don't try this) and see that its flash is corrupted and say to reinstall the firmware?! | |
