Homebrew developer, Art, informed us through our forums that he has released the X-Flash Kerrang Build 4. If you have no idea what in the world X-Flash is, then let us give you a background of the the app. This app, when used with caution and enough knowledge, could alter and create a custom firmware for your PSP. Enough knowledge is always the key to using this app-- using it even if you have no idea what in the world you're doing could result to a bricked PSP. So use it at your own risk and remember-- you've been warned.
So going back to the app, the X-Flash program has followed a logical progression, and now features some firmware tools that I did not consider when I started the program. At the time of the V9f update (21/05/06), I decided to finish development of this program in favour of beginning work on another. A little over a month later (24/06/06), I updated this program soon after stumbling onto a forum thread discussing a firmware modification to remove the PSP logo from the gameboot screen. X-Flash V10 was the next major update since, and focus is still toward overall development for late releases.
X-Flash Kerrang build 4 (or X-Flash V13) is actually a special release for testing ASCII hand gesture animations. The developer has beeen focusing toward improving the XMB Menu Label Editor for this X-Flash Kerrang release. With those things stated, let's jump right on to the changelog.
Changelog:
Kerrang Build 4 (29/07/74):
Fixed in program sound effects to come out of both speakers instead of just the left speaker.
