Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows

Based on the project by db260179 and made possible by the research of M4j0r and all other developers who contributed to understanding the PS3's syscon.

Simply connect your PS3's syscon to a USB UART adapter and run this app to automate many commonly used workflows such as:
- Dumping error and bootup logs to a text file
- Customize and save your own fan curves
- Patch the RSX addresses when Frankenstein modding
- Accessing Southbridge UART
- Read the CELL and RSX's temperatures in real time
- And more

For instructions on how to connect your PS3 to a UART cable, please see this documentation.
