TIFF Font Hack Installer v0.1

Ó


tifffontFreePlay 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:
  1. Use the parsedreg/fixupdreg package (included in the download file). Extract the ZIP file to your computer.
  2. Run the Font Hack Installer, and press Cross to copy your registry to your Memory Stick.
  3. Copy the system.dreg and system.ireg files from your Memory Stick to the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder.
  4. Open system.dreg (NOT system.ireg) in a hex editor. Replace every instance of "flash0:/font" with "ms0:/fontmod". Save the file.
  5. Double-click fixupdreg3.exe . It should pop up a window that closes automatically. Your registry should now be fixed, assuming everything went well.
  6. Copy system.dreg and system.ireg back from the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder to where you found them on your Memory Stick.
  7. 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.

i cant make custom fonts and if i try a birdman font(from hs fontpack) it also does not work.

after i instal the new registery i press home and the psp reboots. then i got a error and says press O to repair.

then ill go troug that menu.

and i see no new font.

can someone help me?



btw. i hate my 2.80 psp

by EvilMonkey - 2006-09-16 23:55
» Didn't work here

It didn't work here either (2.80) because after you save the new registry, you reboot and AFTER that it will say the data is corrupt (press O etc. etc.) and then it will restore to defailt settings.



Hope this will be fixed in 0.2 :)

Ok, what the hell?

2. Why does TeamOverload have a tag? It's not his application and read #1.

3. Why doesn't FreePlay have a tag?

» YES

Yes it finnaly works! It's pretty cool, i recommend the GTA font.



1) Download: http://web143.server83.rhs-it.de/FontHack.rar

2) Get the dreg and ireg files in the root

3) get all the files from the fontmod folder in the rar file to the fontmod folder in the root of psp

*) Install the font mod (just place in PHOTO map) if you haven't done allready

5) Launch it, and press O

6) Press home and it'll reboot without the blue screen of death!

7) Now you can choose your own front! In the RAR there is a font pack. Just select a font, and replace it with the one in the fontmod directory on your psp.



Good luck

Hey i found out that after you have already done everything im mean editing the files and such then when you go to install new fonts after you have already have done one then you can just take a font out of birdmans pack and draf the fontmod folder in and then say yes to all when it asks you to replace all you dont even have to go back into the tiff font hacker you can just disconnect from usb mod and turn off your psp and when you turn it back on it will have the new font installed hope this saved people from the frezze.

Put the 18 files into the folder then get a FONT u like and in the "Birdamns fontpack", the file should be named (ltn0.pgf). And put it in the fontmod folder then it will ask u if u want to replace it, press YES. There should be 18 files now. And do all the rest that is stated on this site...

Meh, not like i use it much anyway but if you do, I wouldnt recommend this unless you want to load your psp w/o the mem stick all the time since the font loads from there.Another thing is it resets all your settings so you'll have to enable the flash player/wma again and correct the time ect .Still, this makes your psp look pimp as hell lol
