ps3vram-ng

Post by jimparis »

Geoff just merged ps3vram-ng, a new version of the ps3vram driver from Geert that eliminates the MTD layer and gives a significant performance boost:

Code: Select all

Notes:
  - As both ps3vram and ps3vram-ng bind to the same PS3 system bus device,
    the driver which is loaded first by udev wins. However, you can unload
    ps3vram, and load ps3vram-ng later.
  - ps3vram-ng is faster than ps3vram:
       o 1 MiB blocks: +50% (read), +5% (write)
       o 4 KiB blocks: +50% (read), +5% (write)
       o 512 B blocks: +10% (read), +10% (write)
