Flash Agent - It's the 007 for PSPsHallo007 from our forums has just released revision C of his Flash agent homebrew flashing application for the PSP. Flash Agent revision C allows you to flash custom gameboots, fonts, and topmenu_plugin files onto your PSP, and it has the ability to enable/disable the PSP's dreaded "network update" function.

Don't worry if something goes wrong either, Flash Agent revision C also has a "recovery mode" which will reflash the original Sony firmware files onto your PSP as if they were new!

Why use this as opposed to the long running X-Flash? Well, Hallo007 is keen to elaborate on the multi-flash facility included with Flash Agent revision C which allows you to specifically select where to flash the file by using a simple file browser. This should help if you want to flash custom firmware files onto DevHook for example, but may be a little more complicated than X-Flash because you will have to specify the directory.

There is no GUI, it just checks if your battery is ok and then brings up a text only directory listing.

As with all homebrew applications which access and write the the flash memory, be very careful because if you don't know what you're doing, you could end up with a brick beyond what recovery mode can do.

 » Will it work in Devhook?

I am running 1.50 via Devhook, will this tool work? The latest version of X-Flash Crashes since it looks for free Flash0 space and the firmware is running off the MS. This is cooler than X-Flash, will it work on Devhook?

Thanks,

-Derek
