A lot of you have probably been waiting some time for this release: courtesy of JaX3RiR, the FileAssistant homebrew program now works for the PSP Slim.

For those unfamiliar with FileAssistant, it's basically an all-purpose file manager: it does the basics, such as renaming and viewing file details. It also allows you to play MP3's, play AVI files, and a lot more.

FileAssistant 3.XX Kernel still has a few bugs. In the forums, JaX3RiR mentioned that the PSP freezes when trying to view the program's credits. Also, there is currently a problem with exiting the program. Here is part of the readme (with a slight correction from JaX3RiR):

There are some functions that do not work, like when you press the "Home"-button nothing happens. Right now the only way to get out of this application is to restart your PSP or to launch this homebrew from IR Shell, and use Home + Square to quit the application (not tested).

Again, please be aware that the program still has a few bugs, so be careful when using it. Users are advised to go through the readme before installing the application. The readme also contains instructions for installation.

Please note that the readme says you need to press L+Home to exit the program from IR Shell. JaX3RiR in the comments section has corrected this saying that the button combo is actually Home + Square.
