#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <string.h>

to

#include <psl1ght/lv2.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>

I didn't test it but it should work. I'm playing around with cpp an psl1ght myself and have successfully built a project.

Cool, thanks, I'll add that to the OP.

I didn't think it was going to be complicated, but I'm stuck in straight C right now, to code the routines for the log stealthing - so others can use the code in their own projects. C translates directly to C++, but usually not the other way, thanks to name mangling in C++.

I'm itching to create some decent OO libs for the PSL1GHT stuff. Nice to see they added dialog support, too.

That's why I'm playing around with c++ in psl1ght, I hate not having my classes <.>

Yup, the dialog stuff BEGS for classes, as does the screen buffering and gamepad handling.

Most of the stuff I'm doing for the log stealthing is creating my own set of utility functions. I'll have to clean it up before release, though. I could release something now, but I want this thing to be dynamic, and it needs configuration (US, EU or JP) so Sony will see "correct" values. I'm adding the dialog stuff shortly. Not sure when I'll be able to test, as my out of work 18yo has decided to play the 360 for the first time in a few weeks (I'm torn between kicking him off and out to find a job, or letting him de-stress before his GED classes tonight).

PSL1GHT has been updated?
Wish I'd known that before generating, printing and binding nearly 400 pages of documentation for it :facepalm:

I've heard it said that mount Alejandro doesn't work properly in 3.55, and that's the only one I've used on 3.41 so far.

I guess I ought to bite the bullet and upgrade to 3.55 to try it out.

Alejandro is a semi-permanent solution. I was referring to the flash loaders. Try those first. (you may have to resign them and stuff)

It might be a stupid question but how does debugging work on the ps3

As far as I know, it means writing out copious trace logs to the USB stick, heh... that's my current solution.

We could probably do some network tracing, but debugging would probably require a debug console (with debug firmware, obviously).

psl1ght has support for sending debug prints over the network to your linux console. I haven't messed around with them but there's a sample or two in psl1ght. Alternatively you can do what I do and use sconsole to print your debug strings to the screen (I just have a global debug string that I build and print as needed).

I've tried all of those on 3.41. The only one that came close to working at all still didn't load up the XMB properly, and t'other guy network hacking ('krunchy') said they didn't help with certificates.

I haven't got time to play with this stuff again until the weekend now anyway.
