While we like do-it-all packs like the previously released Custom PSP Theme Pack 4: C Edition, it sometimes pays to be more task-specific. Johny 5 over at the boards is letting everybody know about his new johny5_flash application/homebrew pack. And as the name says, this PC-based application allows users to handle flash-related tasks on their PSP in a jiffy. Going into specifics, here's what it can do:

Merge your 12 bmps
Flash bmp
Flash topmenu created by this xmb icon maker
Flash XMBWave (system_plugin_bg.rco)
Flash different fonts
Flash gameboot.pmf
Flash location free player
Flash battery icons
Flash opening plugin boot sound+gameboot "psp gameboot logo"
Flash custom files from CUSTOMIZATIONS folder
Flash from backup files
Backup function!
Free up flash0 space!
Backup ALL flash0

Now, in case you're wondering why it's labelled as a pack, the bundle also includes other essential apps that you'll need for customizing your PSP - Johny 5 gives full credits to the corresponding developers behind these applications:

Just remember to stay away from the XMB_BATTERY and COLDBOOT functions - they're reportedlty bugged, and should be fixed by v0.2. We strongly advise a viewing of the bundle's README(s) to know how to run these applications properly. Lastly, be reminded that johny5_flash BETA v0.1 is built to run specifically on custom firmware 3.03 OE-C and above - you have been warned. Enjoy the download, and remember to visit the forum threads for any further details.
