Hallo007 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 as well as having the ability to enable/disable the PSPs dredded 'network update' function. Don't worry if something goes wrong either, Flash Agent revision C also has a 'recovery mode' which if you don't know by now will reflash the original Sony firmware files onto your PSP as if it 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 to 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 not 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 are doing you could end up with a brick beyond what recovery mode can do.
