The PSP scene is alive and you found it — the #1 spot for all your PSP hacks. And this hack you’re about to read comes from my main man MaX SLayeR, by way of Master of Shadows over at PlayStationLandia (see source).




It’s been discovered that using PSP Filer 4.4 Kernel 3.xx, which seemingly works best with Half Byte Loader, you’re able to access (read/write) the PSP registry in flash1. So if you follow the steps below you can customize the XMB font by redirecting the fonts folder from flash0 to your memory stick. Lets get started:

Download the fontmod package below; it includes PSP Filer 4.4, fixupreg3, and fonts to try out.
Run PSP Filer via HBL; press R + Left to go into “Hacker Mode.”
Press start to move over to flash1.
Copy the registry folder to the memory stick.
Open the file “system.dreg” in a hex editor; Google for one.
Change “flash0:/font” to “ms0:/fontmod” (or ef0:/fontmod if you’re on a GO).
Place the files from the registry into a folder with the files from fixupreg3, then run the .exe.
Place the new registry files back on the memory stick.
Place the fontmod folder in the root of the memory stick (or GO storage).
Run Filer, enter Hacker Mode, and copy the registry files from the memory stick over the files in flash1:/registry/.
Hit Home and exit to the XMB to see your new font.
That should be it. Now, real quick, we aren’t responsible if you damage your PSP. Messing with flash memory poses a potential risk; however, it’s unlikely you’ll cause a brick by performing the above. If you do mess up the PSP will prompt you to recover flash1 anyway.

Wow...I can see that the days of bricking PSP's through messing with flash files are back again.

Hopefully, now that the flash files are accessible more doors will open to hacking the PSPgo.

Great find guys.

Read the article. This only modifies the flash 1. Impossible to brick through messing around with that. This doesn't really bring us any closer to unlocking the PSPGo because we still have no kernel access.
