71M has updated his great FileAssistant homebrew application to version 1.2. FileAssistant is an all purpose file browsing application, that allows you to rename, delete, and view details of files on your PSP, or files from a UMD. It also allows you to play MP3's, play SWF's (Flash files), view .txt's, run UMD's, homebrew applications, play AVI video files and much much more.

This version is an 'experimental' build that should work on 2.0+ using the eLoader. This is a great achievement since FileAssistant has a built-in SWF viewer! This means none of you 2.0+ users have to upgrade to 2.7 to view SWF's saved on your memory stick.

This version hasn't yet been tested on 2.0+, but should work! If this application fails to start, please either post a comment or leave feedback for 71M in his bugs forum. As far as I can tell, this version doesn't add any new features, so 1.5 users have no need to download this version.

Thanks for the heads up Calum!

Updates:
  • Has been confirmed to work with 0.97 eLoader on both 2.0 & 2.6
  • It appears that the ability to launch homebrew applications form this was taken out in order for it to work on 2.0+ - Sorry guys!

With the built in .swf player I don't have to worry about upgrading to FM 2.70.

Try navigating to the EBOOT.pbp of the game you wish to load, and press X.

Sorry, it appears that it can't run homebrew. It was taken out in order for it to load on 2.0+ - Sorry for the mistake!

The flash player sucks ass.

It loads halfway, then my PSP shuts down automatically

Credits screen does cause a lockup, but other than that seems to work fine. Nice prog.

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-25
 » Works on 2.5 too

Couldn't get it to play an avi file but it looks very good anyway!

   by 71M - 2006-04-25
 » Flash! Ah ah!

I'm the first to admit that the Flash player isn't the best, loading times are long, compatibility is also somewhat questionable, but at least you get to play your homebrew still and enjoy some SWF files! :D

Check out http://www.easy-monkey.co.uk/SWF/ for a couple of example files that are tested and working, harecut.swf being the most compatible.

Enjoy the update...

Cheers,
71M
