A Simple Fonthack: The Newbie Tutorial

We recently got an email from edog046, where he sent us a link to a tutorial he wrote. Checking out the link, we thought it was kind of him to share this with us, especially if you’re not used to putting stuff into your PSP or changing the normal settings.

So, for those who’d like to switch fonts on their PSPs, or simply want to have a reference point for the general idea of installing something on it, you might want to bookmark this for future reference. Now, let’s see those instructions, shall we?

1) Download his Fonthack Noob Pack (see link below).

2) Extract to your PSP’s memory stick.

3) The root of your memory stick should look like the picture below. The encircled files are the ones you just downloaded.

Your memory stick's root should look like this, with the files you downloaded being the encircled ones here.

4) Your psp/photo folder should look like the picture below, with the encircled folder being the important thing to note.

Your PSP/Photo folder should look like this. Note the encircled folder.

 

5) Unplug your PSP and go to the photo section, and hit “x” on the fonthack folder. DO NOT HIT “START” OR RUN AS A SLIDE SHOW.

6) A black screen with writing should come up, hit “o” and count to ten, then hit “home.”

You can check out the rest of the tutorial after the jump.
