Hacking [RELEASE] sa0tour0 -- "safely" mod contents of sa0 (i.e fonts)

[SKGleba]

Hi guys i was bored and saw some ppl complaining about that the fw reinstall dont restore sa0 , so modding sa0 is dangerous.
So i made a small [1.11MB] mod to redirect sa0 reqs to ur0/ux0
Currently moved fonts (both pvf and pgf) , dictionaries and hwr (handwriting) files (so basically all).
And important apps (i.e safemode) use these in sa0-so ur safe
Useful for fonts testing.

https://mega.nz/#F!mwhFVb5b!NU8cUpfpkxn31ccU1E8KUQ

Installation:
Copy sa0:/data to desired location (i.e to ux0 so it will be ux0:/data)
Install vpk
Choose Install patch
Choose your desired location
The app will close automatically
Reboot.

Uninstallation:
Uninstall via menu
Reboot

If you receive an error while switching just try again, if still-try other option.
If you have a bootloop from i.e incompatible font just reinstall fw via safemode (the original sa0 is untouched so u can normally reinstall fw)

Also compatible with psTV

damn I spent hours trying to do this. does it not use ksceIoOpen? also my font dedicated plugin / app is gonna be released soon (which injects into ScePvf)

I know u worked hard on it, but today's morning many people had problems with it, so i made a quick solution.
Also urs is better because u only hook into ?SceLibPvf? and i do the whole sa0 to ur0/ux0 so it takes more space.
Definitely urs is better&safer for normal ppl

I don't know where I screwed up, but I couldn't simply uninstall patch; it just gave some error when I clicked on it. In the end, I simply reinstalled the firmware through safe mode.But an interesting patch, I liked it, good job.

The vpk contains alot of files(it may bug) just reinstall via vpk, also the install patch again may help
But yeah, reinstall fw fix all

Does v2 is compatible with v1? I have installed v1 which i can't uninstall (same error as mentioned above). Can i try to uninstall/disable this mod with v2?
