TIFF Font Hack Installer v0.1

Tags: memory stick, fonts, Fontmod, TeamOverload, TIFF FreePlay released TIFF Font Hack Installer v0.1 for PSP firmware 2.7-2.80 (2.0, 2.01, 2.5, and 2.6). Originally
created by FreePlay, TeamOverload, and Skylark, the font hack enables PSP users to change the fonts on the PSP's home XMB screen.
Other things you can play around with: italic, bold, shadow, and other style options for fonts.
FreePlay says its one drawback is that you have to manually edit and fix your registry using some other tools they made. But they are working on ironing out this kink.
To install:
Copy the program to PSPPHOTO on your Memory Stick.
To run the program:
Highlight the 'fonthack' folder from your PSP's Photo menu, then press Start.
To modify your registry:
Use the parsedreg/fixupdreg package (included in the download file). Extract the ZIP file to your computer.
Run the Font Hack Installer, and press Cross to copy your registry to your Memory Stick.
Copy the system.dreg and system.ireg files from your Memory Stick to the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder.
Open system.dreg (NOT system.ireg) in a hex editor. Replace every instance of "flash0:/font" with "ms0:/fontmod". Save the file.
Double-click fixupdreg3.exe . It should pop up a window that closes automatically. Your registry should now be fixed, assuming everything went well.
Copy system.dreg and system.ireg back from the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder to where you found them on your Memory Stick.
Run the Font Hack Installer again, and press Circle to install your modified registry.
You'll need to have a custom font copied to the fontmod folder on your Memory Stick to use custom fonts. To make your own custom fonts, use the FHacker utility (included in the download file.)
FreePlay also says this app doesn't touch flash0 (only flash1)so there's absolutely no chance of bricking your PSP.

Im using notepad to edit and only finding one instance of flash0:/font
Notepad isn't a hex editor. In fact, you'll destroy a lot of the information in a binary file if you save it in notepad. Try Googling for XVI32. It's a nice little free hex editor for Windows and isn't too tough to figure out.

Yes, actually. If you want to be daring, you can swap the buttons by searching for "button_assign". Now, look exactly 15 bytes after the 'n' in 'assign'. Change this value to 1 to use the PSP's default assignment (i.e. X = OK, O = Cancel for US PSPs), and change it to 0 to swap X and O.
After any modification to the registry, you'll have to run the 'fixupdreg' program. Each value in the registry has a checksum, and the fixupdreg program fixes them when you change things.
If you guys have any more questions, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to help you out.
Oh, and if you're getting the Blue Screen of Death a lot, make sure you have a complete font set copied to ms0:/fontmod - not just ltn0.pgf. Some firmwares have different numbers of fonts:
1.50-1.52: 17
2.00-2.50: 19
2.60: 20
2.70-2.80: 19 again (the shadow.pgf file was removed)
Make sure that ms0:/fontmod contains the right number of files; make sure you've run fixupdreg; then try again.
