## Overview

This repository contains two Windows applications: a GUI for inspecting and modifying PS5 NOR files, with UART diagnostics, and a separate console UART tool. The primary GUI workflow is to open a NOR dump, inspect or edit board identity and edition data, then save a modified dump; its UART features connect to a console for error-code and command I/O. The excerpts show the GUI entry point, NOR file access, serial handling, and online database calls. Other capability links are documented in the README; unsampled implementation details are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`PS5 NOR Modifier/Form1.cs`](https://github.com/thecod3ryoutube/ps5normodifier/blob/main/PS5%20NOR%20Modifier/Form1.cs) (GUI UART controls), [`UART-CL By TheCod3r/UART-CL By TheCod3r/Program.cs`](https://github.com/thecod3ryoutube/ps5normodifier/blob/main/UART-CL%20By%20TheCod3r/UART-CL%20By%20TheCod3r/Program.cs) (Console UART application), [`PS5 NOR Modifier/Program.cs`](https://github.com/thecod3ryoutube/ps5normodifier/blob/main/PS5%20NOR%20Modifier/Program.cs) (GUI startup)
