Why would you need to feed firmware to embedded anything in order to write an XCI loader? It's trivial, it just hasn't been done in public on account of that being solely useful for warez....
You know less than I ever imagined. I should have known better than to assume that you meant 'how to program (write software)' as opposed to 'how to feed firmware to a device, for no relevant reason'.
There are not enough words if I tell you that there are limitations to pay for playing. I have always known, since I follow the Scene from Wii and little known from the PSX, that this chipiar Hardware, or now is the Software, is Hobby, like a video game where you get tricks to get "premium things ", you do it by hobby, just like playing games that have only limited for the public that does not mind losing their money buying physical products helping to pollute the world ... there are many reasons why it" pirates ", and is that the name does not fit, because it is not stealing, if not improving the characteristics of embedded hardware such as consoles.
In conclusion, load "backup copies", you're not stealing from anyone, right? There are only policies that are illegal ... and if it affects the video game industry is true, but what do I do if I liked to program Freeware? so that it allows me to make things easier.
What kills me is that this Scene has become mediocre and nothing can be shared without alleged repercussions.
