Art has released a new version of his firmware modification tool for the PSP.
X-Flash V16b (Dual Firmware Support)
The same program runs on 1.50 and 2.71 SE, and behaves accordingly
after the PSP firmware version is auto detected at startup.
New for X-Flash V16b:
- Wave Effect Removed from opening intro screen as well as XMB menu.
(firmware version 2.71 SE)
- Debranded Coldboot intro screen.
(firmware version 2.71 SE)
- Debranded Gameboot movie.
(firmware version 2.71 SE)
- Plain Black Gameboot Movie.
(firmware version 2.71 SE)
Currently Supported for 2.71 SE:
- Debranded Coldboot Intro screen.
- Debranded Gameboot screen,
- Disable XMB Menu Wave Effect, and Coldboot Intro Wave Effect
- Custom Monthly Backgrounds, including Plain Black Backgrounds.
- Custom Font (sample font included is now the ASCII font).
- Disable Network Update Icon functionality.
- Custom Name Plate picture (Easter Egg "Art" name plate is disabled
in 2.71 SE since only basic name plate pictures work).
- Firmware Dump (At least 21 Mb free space required for 2.71 SE).
- Registry Backup and Restore Tool.
- Custom Gameboot movies.
Currently Disabled for 2.71 SE:
- XMB Menu Label editor.
- Firmware Version Spoofers.
- Coldboot and XMB sounds (may be fixed in a later version).
- Plain Black PSP About Screens (may be fixed in a later version).
- Some Easter Eggs won't work because they rely on version spoofs,
detailed name plate picture, etc.
Note: many considerations have been made to ensure this release works
smoothly on both supported firmware versions.
Features pertaining to Dark_AleX Custom Firmware POC for 1.50 are
disabled in 2.71 SE, including the prompt for it's auto installation at first
time use. Writing mp3 file to flash feature is disabled for 2.71 SE due to
lack of space left on flash0 after 2.71 SE is installed. Custom Gameboots
are limited in size to 500Kb when using 2.71 SE for the same reason.
I may increase this slightly to accomodate the Prince Of Persia gameboot.
