I need help in figureing out how to access Flash0 Read and Write Permission. Right now i'm trying to develop and XMB Name Changer, but can't figure out how to access Flash0 to make the necessary changes.

(reading is easy, writing is trickier)

Also check out some of the released programs that write to flash0/flash1 like PspPersonalize/PspSet/WabVersionChanger. AFAIK they are released as binary only [no source] so you need a little disassembly. At least follow some of the same pre-checks (ie. make sure the battery is full or AC adapter charged before starting to write etc)
GENERAL WARNING: writing to flash0 is very dangerous (for you and the people who use your program)

that won't work i need to be able to edit topmenu_plugin.rco to change the XMB and sysconf_plugin.rco to change the version name in System Information.

Hey edwardfma,
don't make a program like this! I'm the maker of PSPSET! And brick one psp by changing the name from the UMD to D:/! The edit topmenu_plugin.rco works great with the MTH Firmware loader! But after I flashed it to the flash0 my psp don't start up! ;)
Just for info ;)
