How to dump firmware?
Anyone got any pointers as to what would be involved in dumping firmware such that someone with a UK 505 could dump their 1.2 firmware and the result could be added to the Universal Flasher/PRSCustomiser?

I have the dumps of the UK and (just got it today) the FR versions. I'll be updating Universal Flasher to deal with those versions.

That's very good news igorsk - I assume this is the UK firmware I sent you? As I hadn't heard from you for a while I was wondering...but I didn't want to pester you again.

If you've still got a dump, I'd be interested in taking a look? (It might not be anything I can make sense of, so don't expect anything, but I'm curious!)

Maybe the date or number format? 1.1 (US) has mm/dd/yyyy (if I recall correctly) whereas 1.2 (UK) has dd/mm/yyyy?

France I believe uses the same date format, so their firmware should be 1.2 too. I'm interested in the diff between 1.2 and 1.3. I'm guessing there's more to these country-specific firmwares than date changes...

The UK firmware is basically the same, the date format is changed and an error message added in case the book deletion fails. The French firmware is quite advanced, they added switchable localization, customizable date format, proper (locale-specific) title sorting and grouping.
