• Allows to create a raw dump of your Lflash (flash0 , 1 and 2).
• Remove the DIC directory (asian fonts), Location Free Player and the built in web browser.
• Restore's flash2 files (PSN details).
• Install a custom flash0 XMB.
• Flash a custom gameboot.
• Restore the original Sony gameboot.
• Remove the Rss.

User guide

Note: Flashers or features that require alterations in the flash of the device can brick your PSP. Please backup your important data accordingly and use with caution.

Flash Spacer also allows you to install custom Xmb files to the flash0. To do this you must have the following files:

• font/gb3s1518.bwfonfont/jpn0.pgf
• font/ltn0.pgf
• vsh/module/paf.prx
• vsh/module/vshmain.prx
• vsh/resource/impose_plugin.rco
• vsh/resource/sysconf_plugin.rco
• vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco
• vsh/resource/system_plugin_bg.rco
• vsh/resource/system_plugin_fg.rco
• vsh/resource/topmenu_icon.rco
• vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco

You need all of these for it to work, you will have to run flash spacer first, it will then create the folder Custom XMB. In that folder you place those files and folders.if one of those files are missing, flash spacer will not flash the custom xmb.

If the custom xmb is corrupt of it is not for the correct firmware, you will semi-brick and you will have to restore the flash0 back-up that was made at start up.

Further info - Flash Spacer Checks For h.bin at the root of the Memory Stick, if this is found it will boot into a HEN mode. If you wish to boot into the full program, remove h.bin from the root of your Memory Stick.

Restoring functions if back ups are lost - You will either have to dump the FW you are running and restore them manually, or you will have to up/down grade the FW.
