ZeroVSH Patcher v0.1 Released

Submitted by greg; September 25, 2011


Another useful plugin comin' atcha: NightStar3 and codestation's ZeroVSH Patcher! This plugin, when enabled, lets you load resources (.rco), fonts (.pgf), bitmaps (.bmp) and gameboots (.pmf) from the memory stick or internal PSPgo storage, effectively [soft-]modding your PSP visually, all while minimizing the risk of a brick ... because nothing is written to flash0. Cool, huh? Load your custom files to ms0:/PSP/VSH/ or ef0:/PSP/VSH/ and fire up the plugin. How does it work? Like this:

ZeroVSH Patcher uses the robust technique of hooking I/O drivers, allowing us to load files from a memory stick or internal storage, rather than replacing the file from flash. It will check if the file is being loaded from flash, check if our replacement is found, and then do some hooking to load our files.

And you should probably know this too, and I quote:

In order for everything to go as planned, make sure to use custom files from the fw you are using, or else the new files wont be loaded properly (due to the offsets changing and all). This plugin should work on ALL PSPs, and on ALL FIRMWARES (up to date). Restart your VSH after enabling this plugin.
