PSPEverybody seems to be in a giving mood this holiday season! Why did we say that? Because kando stopped by our forums to tell us about his and weltall's nifty creation which is the Flash0 Free Space Calculator v1. The app is based on some codes by LordSturm and what it does is it tries to determine just how much space is free on your Flash0.

This app is pretty nifty for those people who wish to code a program that uses flash0 space. Also, in case you may want to modify firmware parts that require more flash0 room, this app right here could come in pretty handy.

However, it is not free of any bugs as kando shares that for now, free space could only be calculated up to 1.50MB. With regards to this app bricking your flash0, he says that:

Not likely. there is ALWAYS a 0.00001% chance of bricking, however, as long as you dont take out your battery or run it w/ 1% battery left, you will be fine. Just let the program finish running. Also if you run this program about 100,000 times your flash0 might give out. But then again, even w/ all my playing around w/ flash0, i've only written a couple hundred times

But it never hurts to take some pre-cautionary measures by reading the forum release thread or the readme file that comes with the download. Indeed, it is the season of giving! Kudos to kando and weltall!

» cool but

the safer way is to dump out the fo n f1 from psp. den calculate how many MB of f0 n f1 combined.



32MB - [f0 n f1] equal MB left

this isnt very 'nifty' because you dont write to flash0 for homebrew, you write to flash1. And Im guessing your simply trying to malloc memory in flash0 in 500kb chunks until it fails?

u might wanna read up on homebrew and other psp things because using a custom gameboot is writin to flash0 and using a custom bootsound or background is also flash0
