TIFF FileAssistant v0.06 Released!

FileAssistant v0.05


One of the must-have pieces of homebrew, FileAssistant, has been ported to the TIFF Exploit by Freeplay. Although it's one of the older versions (v0.05), this was the only version whose source FreePlay could find. The original version was coded by Lin J.R, in case anyone's curious.

While not being as slick and shiny as the newer versions, it did the job, and wow! While talking to FreePlay, he revealed that the speed of this version is amazing. He actually had to slow down the dialogs, just to make them readable. Here's a few more screenshots in case you want to check out the GUI

This version allows you to write to Flash1 only. Looking at all the homebrew being released for the TIFF exploit, expect to see more ports and scratch-made homebrew in the coming days. For now, enjoy this latest homebrew.



Update: Just a few hours after the release of the first public build, FreePlay has told me that he has updated FileAssistant. Turns out, he's correct. The new version allows you to browse your UMDs and he has also got the battery meter working. Plus, while talking to him, he also revealed that he has polished the dialogs since they were a bit problematic. To download, check out the link below.

The colors in the screenshots aren't the real colors. Taking screenshots from FileAssistant is... bizarre.

Tested (as far as I know) on 2.71 and 2.80 so far. Works on 2.71 in Devhook. Also works on Epsilon, which apparently has a few glitches - e.g. pressing Home crashes the PSP rather than exiting the program.

# file unzipperGuest 2006-09-18 11:26
we need a file unzip utility! thats what i really need.

then i could download a new tiff homebrew, unzip it, and move the files to the right place, instead of doing it all on the computer.

# Problemreptie7 2006-09-18 14:02
I been experamenting with problems with tiff files.Heres what i got:

If you run a umd then a tiff game the tiff will freeze but if you don't it won't so if you play a umd then play tiff it will freeze after that it will probaly Never freeze unless you play another umd.

# coolGuest 2006-09-18 14:32
this is great and all and i apreciate all the work that went in to it, but i agree, we need some emulators, we've seen the power of this exploit and it seem to be able to handle alot. this thing isnt all that usefull, i mean it can be if you dont want to go to your pc or if you cant.



all in all its a great app, not something id use though. and good luck to the devs on making or porting some emus.

# Works Finecrazymunch 2006-09-18 22:27
I'm on 2.8 and It works perfectly, just like all the other 2.8 Homebrew. FYI, I launch them all by pressing Triangle -> Slideshow, as this is the most stable way to do it.



My Question is, seeing as you can read and write from Flash1, can you do your own custom FontHack, so instead of editing the registry, you just put your own files in using this, so it's your default font in the Flash1 instead of on your MS?



Just wondering, too chicken to try it. I know it wont brick, but I just got my PSP the way I like all the settings and dont want to risk having to re-write Flash1

Reply
 

 
# Ok, Suggestioncrazymunch 2006-09-18 22:39
Ok, I just realized Fonts are stored in Flash0.



Soo... WHy not make a font hack that stores the fonts in

Flash1 and directs the registry there?



That way, changing MS would not screw up your font.



Just a thought, I don't know enough about HB to do it, but it would work, right?

# bad workGuest 2006-09-19 03:09
The psp always freezes when you start the application. The TIFF based homebrew is useless anyway. When you have more than one game or app on your stick you cannot choose between them because the thing starts immediately while hovering over.

This homebrew is awesome, it is exactly like having a "Windows Explorer" for your PSP. :)



BTW, the .06 version didn't work for me the first time, but in the second try it worked like a charm.

I already did this. But the app starts immediately when you hover over a folder. You have absolutely no chance to scroll down more than 3 or 4 items without opening one automatically.

How odd. It worked fine for a few days, but then I changed my font with FreePlay's fonthack (which works great, BTW) and now I can't get the FileAssistant to work. it freezes my PSP every time. I even reinstalled it and it still freezes.
