Flash Spacer V3 By alex_e

Tested on 5.00m33-4 on a psp phat

This application removes and back-ups certain files in flash0. currently, it installs, unistall the location free player, the dic folder and unistalls the camera feature located in the xmb thus
saving you approximatley 3mb so far.
It Know lets you install custom Xmb files to the flash0.
to do this you must have the following files:

font/gb3s1518.bwfon
font/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 isnt for the correct firmware, you will semi-brick and you will have to restore the flash0 back-up that was made at start up.

Installation

copy Flash Spacer V3 to PSP/GAME

this will work in any of the game folders and will now create and restore back-ups.
this should also run the slim, but with any programs that access the flash beware.

Controls:
UP- UP
DOWN-DOWN
[X]- SELECT

Further info:

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