The inspired anarchical implementer, Art, has just cooked up a truly interesting piece of ‘brew that’s designed from the top down to allow y’all to find and edit monochrome and 256-color bitmaps that are lurking within firmware files. Unlike older, but similar, homebrew applications, Bitmap Hunter does allow you to make changes to the images directly.

Quick lesson, in case you’re just tuning in: A bitmap is a type of image file format that’s used to store images with a specific color depth in a lossless format; bitmaps are quite close to raw image data, although they generally include header information…

The savvy code cook Thullium has just released an update for his pet application, Flash0 Plugin Loader. This nifty little program drops a seplugins folder into the root of your flash0, functioning just like the seplugins folder that’s typically found on a memory stick. On top of that, it resets the buffer to the exact size needed to hold the plugin text files. Thullium says this about the project:

“This has been coded for the 5.00 M33-2 custom firmware or higher, don’t attempt to run it on a lower version. The plugins you flash won’t show up in the recovery, but…
