hi there.
due to some disadvantages and some minor issues with tools, i have made a mod of toolboy's ps3mfw builder release.
the major disadvantage of reddot's or toolboy's mfwbuilder, you cannot add, rename, delete files from pup file just as easy as with old original 0.2.1 builder. you have to do some annoying workaround to solve this problem and it was due to the tar re-creation routine he/they have used.
the other thing is, the created pups with their builders behave weird on installation. they work fine, nonetheless.
but if you exactly follow the installation procedure and notice the installation percents, the mfws created with either toolboy's or reddot's builder only go up to about 45 - 50%. this is not the case with original builder, where the pup installation percents go up almost completely.
this is a side effect of pkgtool from toolboy, which results in this behavior.
so i took the chance and made a hybrid of toolboy's mfwbuilder paired with original mfwbuilder. this one uses all of toolboy's tools and routines to extract pup, pkg and tar files, but it uses all the original routines to re-pack the pup files.
so no more problem on adding, removing, renaming files from pup with this builder version and there is also absolutely no permission problem from original builder.
furthermore, i have changed the way of detecting and differentiating between old 3.xx and new 4.xx firmwares. this means, you can now modify this 3.55 dex downgrader and REBUG 3.55.4 CFW, or you can even create your own 3.55 downgrader, which have spkg support
i also have modified all of glevand's 3.55 otheros tasks, to make it work with toolboy's patchtool. also i have ported all of his patches and they will work for 4.xx as well.
i have made myself now a 4.21OtherOs++ pup, and i do not have to go down to 3.55 anymore. i can resize with this pup on 4.21 just fine the hdd. for this i have added patches to either select 10gb or 22gb for linux vflash partitition, which should be more than enough.
there are 3 folder with tasks, my personalized ones, toolboy's tasks and glevand's 3.55 tasks . credits go to the original authors and of course reddot and toolboy! i have only modified most of the patches to be more dynamically
