Mhorpheox has once again dropped a line on our forums informing us that Legend has updated his PSPModkit app to version 2.0. PSPModkit is a flashing app that runs on a PC instead of on the PSP itself. It needs the .NET Framework 2.0 in order to run, so we've also included a download link for that in case some of you guys don't have it yet.

Here's the changelog for PSPModkit v2.0:

• Now the program have an automatic installer  with desktop shortcut.
• Fixed bug that causing "Error path" in the flash menù.
• Added auto-open directory of processed file.
• Included pmf player in the tool menu (after patch MPS into PMF) and in the flash menù.
• Included rapid installation of pmf player codecs.
• Graphic restyled.
• Code revisioned.

Please read the included readme file very carefully before you try flashing your PSP using this app. Even though it creates a backup of flash0, bricking is still a possibility. For a closer look at the features that PSPModkit offers, check out our coverage of the first version.

Mhorphoex has passed by our forums today to inform us that homebrew developer Legend over at PSPlandia, and Italian PSP site, has come up with a new flashing application that runs not on your PSP but from the comfort of your PC. First of all, the application asks whether you would like to make a backup of your Flash0 folder before any flashing as a safety precaution, and then allows you to flash gameboots, fonts, icons, backgrounds, sounds, waves, icons, volume control styles, and more.

This needs the .NET framework 2.0 or higher to run and interfaces to the PSP via USB cable, so make sure you have it connected  before you attempt to backup your flash0 or start flashing. Other features of this flashing application include auto-renaming for files, the creation of recovery files in the event you flash something wrong, a tool for conversion of gameboots from MPS to PMF format, and much more.

Check out the readme for more info, but be careful as although a backup of flash0 is created it is still possible to brick your PSP while flashing so please be careful! Consult our PSP forums if you have any questions on flashing.
