[E3-hacking] Config / content filesystem

[Nick Griffin]

Thanks for the info, but the emailer would have to download the config file ever time it looked for mail so rewriting on the top of the old config,so to reset the time back to 90days,it has to be on apart off the system that has full rights if it was read only it would not be able to download the config file. Maybe the Config file is in a place where the games are download.I don’t know yet, It only there if the emailer is activated, if you never connected the email to Amserve the config file would not be there.They all worked the same way.

Spanner..

I have a vague memory that the E3 used a read-only cramfs or similar
filesystem for the actual OS/base application stuff, and then a custom
filesystem (based on Q;Q; blocks in flash) for all the ads / games /
ringtones / other content. I don't recall anyone spending time on
working out how to modify that custom setup.
