TeamOverload, Freeplay, and Skylark have been working hard on his font modding project recently. And today, his progress has finally come to a useable state. Cheers to TeamOverload. The picture below is the final effect of the mod using a certain font file (of course not only limited to this font).
Here comes the tutorial:
Requirement:
1. PlayStation Portable (Firmware 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.01, 2.5, or 2.60). On PSPs with firmware 2.0+, eLoader is required, as well as GTA for 2.01+.
2. At least 4MB free space on your memory stick for the customized fonts.
3. FileAssistant 0.4
4. A Hex editor program on your PC (like UltraEdit32 or WinHex)
Process:
1. Copy files from your firmware
To mod your PSP with your own font, you will have to first export 2 files from your flash1. You can use FileAssistant to do so. Run it, go to Disk, and change to PSP BIOS 1. Then enter folder "registry", select "copy", and copy both system.dreg and system.ireg to your memory stick. Then use the same method to copy the "font" folder from PSP BIOS 0 to your memory stick.
2. Edit the registry file
Copy the system.dreg and system.ireg file onto your PC. Open system.dreg with a Hex editor program. Run a search for "flash0:", you will be able to see some text like "flash0:/font" to be found. Then, type the directory onto this text to overwrite it. In this tutorial, we use "ms0:/fontmod" for our own font. Type it in the Hex editor to overwrite the original text in the text field, and erase the remaining text with "00" in the hex field. And at last, save the file and copy them back onto an easy-to-find place on your memory stick.
3. Repair the registry file
Use fixupdreg3.exe to fix the registry files. Just copy the exe file to where the 2 registry files are in, and run it with a double click.
4. Get the font files ready
Copy the exported font files into ms0:/fontmod folder.
5. Write the customized registry files back
Run FileAssistant again. Find the system.dreg and system.ireg file, and copy them into your PSP BIOS 1. This step should be the most dangerous one in the whole process since we are now actually writing to the firmware. You may want to firmly plug in your power adapter or at least check the remaining battery life. Copying is fast, but you don't want to fail on this for god's sake. After copied the files, exit FileAssistant.
After exited FileAssistant, you will see the changes if you are using a different font then the original one. If you don't you may be using the same font with the original font of the PSP, or you may need to reboot the PSP system to let it take effect (just turn it ACTUALLY off and back on).
TeamOverload has released a customized font, which is enclosed with the package we are offering for download below. You will notice that your PSP system font is all italic after using the mod.
If you don't want to actually write this into your firmware, you can just try it with MPH's firmware loader. Set up a normal firmware emulation and copy the modified system.dreg and system.ireg onto flash1/registry folder of your firmware files on your memory stick. Then start the firmware emulation. You will also be able to try it out in this way! (My picture was actually taken in this way ;-))
In this pack, you can see the needed fixupdreg3.exe and the need font file created by TeamOverload.
