NAND Backup and flash

When the backup is created, a file .chk is created. In this file we store the Mac Address and control keys of the dump. When you you want to reflash the dump, PSPlorer compare the stored MAC address and the PSP MAC address, to be sure that the dump belongs to the PSP The keys are used to check that the dump hasn't been modified.

Changelog

v1.5

The new functionalities:
- File and directory transfert from PSP to PSP via wifi (using an access point), this new mode works over internet. If you are behind a router you will have to use port forwardinf (the port used by PSPlorer is configurable in the config file PSPlorer.txt which is generated at the first run).
- File extraction from eboots.
- Multi-languages, you can add your own language. To do this just create a text file with the translations (corresponding line by line with english.txt), modify the config file (psplorer.txt) put the name of your file at the tag [langiageFileName] (don't forget the space between the tag and the file name).
