Nice work. Good to see us slowly erroding the boundries of the unknown.
To answer the inevitable question no this doesn't mean 3.70 cfw!
Lol.
That said I'm loving the recent flurry of activity on the scene! Good work and many thanks to the dev!

I can only wonder if this enables anyone to dump the LS while in SPU_ISO mode. Does anyone know? Cause dumping metldr and some loaders would be always welcome XD
