The famous PSP 'brew, FileAssistant, has now been ported to run on Firmware 2.8, thanks to Killer Maniac's efforts. Now, the thing is, he hasn't tested it if Flash writing works, because according to him, he is not willing to risk it. But if you are, then you are most welcome to do so, of course.

As for the installation, you just unzip the two folders into your "ms0:/PSP/GAME” folder". Then, to run, start xLoader and go to the game folder in your XMB. Look for FileAssistant and click X. There are also five skins included here, which you may use if needed.

As a final caveat, Killer Maniac would like to remind everyone that he can not be, in any way, held liable for anything that happens to your PSP because of this application. Anyway, you guys know the drill. Use it at your own risk. So, just be extra careful, alright?

For modchip users, Djhg2000 from our forums offers two ways to enable and customize Wi-Fi on Epsilon BIOS: The hard way and the easy way. Yeah, you're going to want the easy way first, wouldn't you?

The easy (well, easier) way is to use his Epsilon BIOS Wi-Fi editor, downloadable from the link below. Instructions are included in the package (please read them!), but this will require the user - meaning you guys - to finalize the result with fixupdreg2.exe, which is NOT included in the package. And we're not including it, for the obvious reasons. That last step is up to you.

On the other hand, there's the hard way.

It requires the full article to display all the instructions.

One of the must-have pieces of homebrew, FileAssistant, has been ported to the TIFF Exploit by Freeplay. Although it's one of the older versions (v0.05), this was the only version whose source FreePlay could find. The original version was coded by Lin J.R, in case anyone's curious.

While not being as slick and shiny as the newer versions, it did the job, and wow! While talking to FreePlay, he revealed that the speed of this version is amazing. He actually had to slow down the dialogs, just to make them readable. Here's a few more screenshots in case you want to check out the GUI

 

  

This version allows you to write to Flash1 only. Looking at all the homebrew being released for the TIFF exploit, expect to see more ports and scratch-made homebrew in the coming days. For now, enjoy this latest homebrew.

Update: Just a few hours after the release of the first public build, FreePlay has told me that he has updated FileAssistant. Turns out, he's correct. The new version allows you to browse your UMDs and he has also got the battery meter working. Plus, while talking to him, he also revealed that he has polished the dialogs since they were a bit problematic. To download, check out the link below.
