MaxSafe 1.00 – PSP storage and flash saving tool

MaxSafe 1.00 - PSP storage, flash saving tool - Image 1 

Team 0x4658 has landed in our QJ.Net forums informing us of their PSP tool that allows its users to back up the handheld’s idstorage (a different part of the PSP’s flash). This useful PSP application, aptly named as MaxSafe 1.00, is actually meant to support owners trying to unbrick their PSPs with the help of Prometheus Project Pandora.

As stated, what it specifically does is create a backup of the PSP’s idstorage and (looking at the screenshot) flash allowing you to restore it when the need arises. It should be noted that Pandora doesn’t back up or recreate a new idstorage so if that’s messed up for some reason, Pandora won’t be able help you. However if you’ve backed up the idstorage using this tool, you can restore it later and repeat the whole PSP unbricking procedure. Maximum safety indeed for MaxSafe users.

Installation procedure as posted (word for word) by Team 0x4658 on our forums:

  • We (you) need to have preinstalled the Pandora in your Battery and your Memory Stick.
    • 1.- copy the content of MS_ROOT to the root of your Memory Stick.
    • 2.- Load MaxSafe 1.0 (form our menu).
    • 3.- Press X to install it ( If you want to unistall it, just press O ).
    • 4.- You have the MaxSafe installed.

Team 0x4658 notes that MaxSafe has been tested and found working on all PSP motherboards. And since this PSP application is coded based from Team C+D’s Pandora exploit, they wish to extend their thanks to the said group. A comprehensive readme is provided with the download and information is also available through our PSP development forums, make sure you go over them first before trying this program out.
