I woke up with good surprises today, thanks everyone for giving this a shot and your positive feedback and comment.

@afzoo3hax , as Papa pig says "I'm a kind of expert at these things", sorry for the reference my son is addicted to Peppa pig and Shaun the sheep :P.

Well even at work documentation is not my favorite thing but there I have no choice than writing some.

I'll put feet in the wiki a bit later, what I'll try to do first is a short notice on how to use it as a end user and document what it does or not as per reference of the wiki.

as for the "--help" I've been lazy in including this I instead check if no arguments are given which lead to this:

******************************
* NOR Dump Tool *
******************************

Open source project aimed to help to validate PS3 NOR dumps
At the moment (January 2013) the code is probably able
to give you a validation status of roughly 90%!?
It's anyway better to do additional checking by your own,
unless the code of this tool is fully validated by experts!!!

Usage: ./NORDumpTool NorFile.bin (Options)
Option: -P : Give percentage of bytes
Option: -G : Check PS3 Generic information
Option: -C : Check and display perconsole information
Option: -F : Check areas filled with '00' or 'FF'
Option: -S FolderName : Split some NOR section to folder 'FolderName'
Option: -M Start Size : Run MD5 sum on file from 'Start' for 'Size' long
Option: -E FileName Start Size : Extract specific NOR Section from 'Start' for 'Size' long
Option: -D Start Size H/A : Display a specific NOR Section from 'Start' for 'Size' long,
use H or A for Hexa or ASCII
By default -P -G -C and -F will be applied if no option is given

what I'm going to do in short term is to put it here:
https://github.com/anaria28/NOR-Dump-Tool

Then I'll write down a more complete readme.

But ATM I'm still living in China for few more weeks/months, and as you may know ... well Fvcking Internet monitoring...

@anaria , i can see you have natural C skills. good luck with that work, but, my guess is that your Dump Checker will be wiki's natural auto tool in a few weeks

Not until its fully tested and all bugs removed !

But again its great

First post updated.

Version 0.9.5 is out : Source + bin made with MinGW32.
Please confirm me if the bin is running properly in the DOS as it's my first try with this, I hope it's ok because I spend few hours downloading and installing MinGW + MSYS.

Also, please do not use any binary based on a source lower than 0.9.4.

Cheers!!!

I've read what I could from ps3devwiki as well as on ps3hax in order to gather as much as possible information to help me in writing my lines. I'd come to it shortly, but first I'd like to thanks all of you who participate to this scene, I'm not good at naming people and I'm worry to forget some. Now my code may not look beautiful and may definitely be improved/enhanced, but as of today it seems useful to me and I hope it can be for others, so please enjoy it as much as you want. I have no pretension for it but I'd like from anyone who enjoy it, to keep it as an opensource project, if this code or any part of it is used for another application I ask you to make it public as well, if you like this code and write some changes please share it with everyone. I'd also appreciate if anyone want to propose some code and English correction. Source code is now to be found here : https://github.com/anaria28/NOR-Dump-Tool Windows binary (MinGW32) Version 0.9.5 : http://www.sendspace.com/file/8nwxe7

I can give you my windows visual studio 2010 solution. Then you could create the standalone win version yourself (and i dont have to do that ). But if everyone is happy with the mingw version, it's fine too.

[Sarah1331]

any chance of if it failes at any part to go to a YOUR DUMP HAS FAILED

as when testing deadeeef rather than deadbeef it shows error but at end it says

seems good but evedu............................


or with option to repair generic
Then again if generic is bad who knows..
