Font Hacker
Freeplay and Skylark have released version 0.93 of their "FontHacker" program. This PC program enables users to manage
and/or install the font hack, configure font options (shape, shadow, shadow position), conversion of TrueType fonts to a usable
format for the PSP and can generate all 16 types of the font files. This release will aid many of those who struggled with
the font hack in the past and will allow for many users to convert their own files without hassle. We have seen many users
create "font packs" for those who were unfortunate to work on their own fonts themselves, but with this program, it is now
easy for everyone! For once, 1.50 users may have to suffer somewhat, even though we have the full PSP access. It has been
noted that 1.50 users may have to reset their PSP system settings in order for the font hack to work. This reminds me a lot
of PSPersonalize in which users had to mess around with their PSP's a few times in order for the background to show. This
is a great PC program that all should download, even if you think you are never going to use it! Think of this as a part of
a rare PSP hombrew collection, it is a must have!

The Gameboot Changer
So you think your pretty unfortunate since you are just blessed with PSP 2.6 since you're being left out from all the
fun that the 1.5 firmwares are getting. Well, since the 2.50/260 downgrader is already here, that shouldn't be the case anymore.
Unless you are afraid that you will mess up the instructions and brick your PSP. Well, that's your call.
Anyways, just
to say that the 1.5 owners don't get all the fun, homebrew developer Slasher, concocted a simple gameboot.pmf flasher for
you loyal 2.6ers. This app was based on the work of hitchikr, neural, DarK_AleX, Yoshihiro, and Mathieulh. According to Slasher,
all you have to do is "simply put the gameboot.pmf in the root of your memorystick, run the program, and it'll flash it directly
to your flash0:/vsh/resources/ folder." With that you're all good!
Also, the good developer informed us about some
security checks and other info about this app. Security checks include the following:
- Checks if AC adapter is plugged
in
- Checks if gameboot.pmf is actually placed in the right location
- Avoids flashing if something goes wrong
*
After running the program; if there's an error, it will return to eloader; if it's successful, your psp will be restarted.
*
If disc read error pops up, all you need to do is turn off your psp, then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, then take
battery out for 5 mins then put it back in.
* Works on TA-082 PSP mother boards
He also would like to convey that
there's always a risk of bricking your psp while flashing something. lthough this has been tested and confirmed working remember
that you are using this at your own risk. The developer won't be held responsible if your brick your PSP with this software.
He also says that
the MAX gameboot.pmf size is 1mb, although he isn't 100% sure with that. But he asks you to please avoid
flashing gameboots that are any larger. If you flash anything larger than 1 mb, you may end up with a brick.
And as
a sign of a good developer, he wishes to extend his thanks to those who helped him along the way: to TMK (The Mario Karters)
for the idea, and for helping him test the app. As always, you're constructive criticisms, opinions, and suggestions will
be very much appreciated so let 'em flow through your comments.
