FlashMod Version 2.0 for PSP Version 1.5

[wraggster]

IchigoKurosaki released a new version of FlashMod, heres the full details:

<blockquote>FlashMod Version 2.0 for PSP Version 1.5

WARNING: If you used FlashMod 1.0 or 1.5 to change Backgrounds please Restore the Default Backgrounds with 2.0 and install your custom background again. This is due to the original writing to flash code when it couldn't find a file it would just write it as 0 bytes.

New Features

.:UMD 2.00 or higher support:.
Not yet finished and requires a 2.00+ Firmware in the root of your Memory Stick in the folders "Flash0" and "Flash1". Right now the only fix i have is a untested SOCOM fix. (Edit: I was told SOCOM does not work) It will also run your UMD's at 333Mhz for the CPU and 166Mhz for GPU. This will not write to your Firmware or UMD.

.:UMD Loading support:.
This will runs UMD's without 2.00 or higher support. It will also run your UMD's at 333Mhz for the CPU and 166Mhz for GPU. Which means Faster Loading time and smoother Gameplay.

.:Change XMB Menu Names:.
This will let you change your XMB Menu Names just follow these steps:

1. Extract the Utilities folder on to your Desktop.

2. Go into the Utilities folder and run "PSPMenuEdit.exe"

3. Now select you Language and click on the button [...] under [Edit topmenu_plugin.rco]

4. Now select [topmenu_plugin.rco] which should be located in the utilities folder.

5. Once you are done editing all your Menu Names just click [Patch File] and copy the [topmenu_plugin.rco] out of the utilities folder to the root of you Memory Stick.

6. Now go into FlashMod and select [Install Custom XMB Menu Names] and your done.

.:Even safer writing:.
Now will not write if it can't find the file and will display the [Flash Complete] Picture longer.

.:Version used Info:.
Now if you are unsure of what version you have used of FlashMod just go to your XMB (Cross Media Bars) and go to [Settings]-[System Settings]-[About PSP™] and after it shows the copyright information it should tell you "Firmware Flashed with: FlashMod Version 2.00"

.:New Graphical User Interface:.
Now with discriptions for all the features included on the GUI.

.:New Agreement:.
The new agreement is due to FlashMod being Open Source and Public Domain which could cause people to download a Version of FlashMod that might not be from Orbis PSP Development. So for yours protection I urge you not to download FlashMod if it does not say Orbis PSP Development. As for people that want to release their own version of FlashMod please tell me before releasing any unofficial versions.

I Agree by downloading FlashMod Version 2.0 that I relinquish Orbis PSP Development of any liabilities concerning the software effect on my PSP.</blockquote>

This is awesome, but I don't understand how to run a UMD at 333 MhZ. Can someone help me out?

[sephy23]

[jarraman]

[aries2k4]

Just restore the original backgrounds first, and you should be okay.

Nice work but i got a question it says psp version 1.5 only did anyone try to run it with 0.9 loader if it work. Second question is that once you install the flashmod 2.0 on 1.5 psp can you delete all the files that runs the program and the UMD'S support still work ? (loads faster and smoother gamplay). thanks in advance bad english sorry

Has anyone used this to actually load a game? I'd love to play my Japanese Katamari on my Black v1.5fw PSP, but I'm not too sure where to get 2.0 Firmware as a file, and the program makes me a bit nervous.

[thebritons]

yeah, i really want to play GTA and keep firmware 1.5.
i had 2.0 and that eboot loader locks you out of a lot.

I'm deeply sorry, but i don't really understand the the following line mean, anyone care to enlighten me please?? Thanks!! --->>> requires a 2.00+ Firmware in the root of your Memory Stick in the folders "Flash0" and "Flash1".
