We recently got an email from edog046, where he sent us a link to a tutorial he wrote. Checking out the link, we thought it was kind of him to share this with us, especially if you're not used to putting stuff into your PSP or changing the normal settings.

So, for those who'd like to switch fonts on their PSPs, or simply want to have a reference point for the general idea of installing something on it, you might want to bookmark this for future reference. Now, let's see those instructions, shall we?

1) Download his Fonthack Noob Pack (see link below).

2) Extract to your PSP's memory stick.

3) The root of your memory stick should look like the picture below. The encircled files are the ones you just downloaded.


Your memory stick's root should look like this, with the files you downloaded being the encircled ones here.


4) Your psp/photo folder should look like the picture below, with the encircled folder being the important thing to note.

Your PSP/Photo folder should look like this. Note the encircled folder.

 

5) Unplug your PSP and go to the photo section, and hit "x" on the fonthack folder. DO NOT HIT "START" OR RUN AS A SLIDE SHOW.

6) A black screen with writing should come up, hit "o" and count to ten, then hit "home."

7) Plug your psp back into your computer

8) Download Fonts from Birdmans Fontpack (see link below too)

9) Extract it anywhere. Go into the "Fonts from birdmans fontpack"

10) The folder should look like this:


After the previous steps, the Birdman font folder should look like this.

11) Those are the folders of all of the fonts. Pick one and go into the font folder that interests you. There is a folder called fontmod in each of those named folders, so go into that folder and you should see this:


You're looking for the file in each font folder that pretty much is of the file type in this pic.


12) Finally, copy that file, and paste it in the FONTMOD folder, as encircled below.

Paste the file you just copied in the folder below, called FONTMOD



13) Now, just unplug the PSP from your computer, restart it, and your custom font should now be installed.
14) Give yourself a pat on the back, because if everything turned out well, you've just completed edog046's tutorial. Congratulations!

If you have any questions, you can look for him through the source link or email him at (ethanc464 at hotmail dot com). Thanks again edog046!

 » what?

i think it's simple but where do you birdman's font pack? and how do you put the original font back? because when i'm done with all that crap i want the original font back.

I'm not callin the homebrew crap it's pretty awesome, but you know i want to stick with the original after i've seen the other options.

Neat idea but it doesnt seem to work for me. When ever I use it, it works alright but then when a reboot it, I get some funky message that says "The settings are courrupt. Press O to reset" then it re sets every thing. Running 2.8. Any ideas?

sry about my stupid question see #6, anyways my screen doesnt go black when i open the folder with "x" on my psp. it freeze, like it does with all the other.

#10: In Birdman's font pack, you'll have three folders: FONT EXPLOIT, Fontmod, PSP FONTS. Firstly, copy that "Fontmod" folder and all of the fonts in it to the root of your PSP. Then, find the individual font you want from in the PSP FONTS folder, and copy that font file to the Fontmod directory, replacing the existing ltn0.pgf. Then try running the TIFF exploit again.

#11: A number of suggestions have been made on how the TIFF exploit can be made more reliable. Firstly, the less files that are directly in your PHOTO folders, the more chance of the exploit running. Secondly, despite this tutorial saying otherwise, people report more success running as a slideshow than they do otherwise. Make sure the fonthack folder is right in your /PSP/PHOTOS/ and keep trying.

up in the tittle

   by reptie7 - 2006-09-18

In the font pack somewhere it says default font or just dealete fonthack folder and the 2 system folders then you will get a blue screen of death(don't worry)just press o and thats it.

   by reptie7 - 2006-09-18

I hav a gay pokemon font but it looks cool!

i got it on my third try

#14: Important to note is that this hack has no chance of bricking your PSP: worst you can do is cause a blue screen settings error, which will fix itself (albeit resetting all of your settings in the process, but still without a bricked PSP in the end).
