Over at the QJ forums, EvilSeph of Team tOC dropped us a line recently and gave us word that Team tOc is proud to announce the release of version to of their Flash1 Foramtter for the PSP.

If in case you haven't been following the development of this app, the Flash1 Formatter is a program for the PSP that allows you to reover from a corrupted falsh1 and (new in version 2) allows you to back up flash1.

Here's the changelog :

Jan, 19-20 2007

* Changed exit button from Square to R + L.
* Added function to fully dump f1 to ms0:/dump/.
* Made backup function dump to ms0:/dump/.
* General aesthetics fixes... (EvilSeph is picky).
* Cleaned up code...
* Revised readme.txt.
* Included FAQ.html automatically generated by a PHP script coded by Ahadiel.
* Added two exit screens (one for unlocked, one for locked).
* Added new readme reading check, since v1 readme.txt was posted on news sites. Read readme.txt for more information.
* Added checks for missing files from the user dump.
* Made dump folder and user's supplied dump folder different, to allow for backup of flash1 when choosing option 2.
* Modified delay until user can press a button after unlocking program from 5s to 3s.
* Removed automatic removal of dump from flash after formatting.

Jan, 20-26 2007:

* Made all options that format flash1 backup flash1 first.
* Completed GUI (if you can call it that...)
* Modified user's supplied dump format to include two types (to support PSP Filer's dump).
* Modified delay until program exits from 10s to 5s
* Modified program colours from black background with red text to blue background with white text

The team notes that development of version two took longer than the they thought it would, but hey, at least it's here. Oh, and before you folks start trying to install the thing, team tOc would like to remind all of you to please read the readme and faq files. That way you not only ensure your own psp's safety but you don't end up bothering the folks who know better.

Great work Team tOc, we all look forward to more updates from you folks!
