a nice update to this...


BadBoy's Firmware 2.71 SE Customizer v0.6 is a nifty tool you can use to customize your Firmware 2.71 SE (every SE, SE-A, SE-B, SE-B', SE-B''). According to BadBoy's readme, the project was first started by Eiffel56. Unfortunately he bricked his PSP, so he sort of lost interest in continuing with the project. BadBoy says he wanted to test his C skills so he took on this project and developed it into what we have here right now.

With this tool you can change your font, change your background images, change your gameboot, change opening sound, flash a custom menu, disable/Enable your Network Update, dump/flash registry, dump complete Flash0 & Flash1, restore defaults (gameboot, font, sound, menu texts and wallpaper).

Be sure to read the readme file that comes along with this application as BadBoy warns that this could brick your PSP. Use this at your own risk and with at least 50% or more battery. What's new in this update? Well, If the battery is lower than 50%, the program now asks whether it is to start or not.  It can now also restore defaults (gameboot, font, sound, menu texts and wallpaper)

Here's are several how-to instructions straight from the readme:
  • Change your font/gameboot/sound. Simply put the files(ltn0.pgf, gameboot.pmf or opening_plugin.rco) into the root of your Memory Stick and start the Customizer. Choose a point from the menu, wait a short time and tadaaa.
  • Change your background images. Put the files(01.bmp, 02.bmp, ...) into the root of your Memory Stick and start the Customizer. Choose the background you want to flash, press X, wait a short time and tadaaa
  • Change the menu text. Create a dump of Sony´s Firmware 2.50. Go to flash0/vsh/resource and copy the file topmenu_plugin.rco to your Memory Stick. Just edit the file with a hex-editor. Then start the Customizer and choose 5.
  • Disable/Enable Network Update. Once you have started the Customizer pick point 7 or 8.
  • Dump/Flash registry. Start the customizer and choose point 9 to dump the registry. The files are saved to ms0:/system.dreg and ms0:/system.dreg. To flash the registry again put the two files (system.dreg and system.ireg) in the root of your Memory Stick and choose point 10.
  • Dump complete Flash. Choose the last Menupoint and wait a short time. After finish the dump all files are found in ms0:/flash0 and ms0:/flash1
Nice update BadBoy!

» Well................

You may would like to, i just did yesterday and i am quite enjoying it.



You won't need to waste memory stick space on 2.00-2.50-2.60-2.71 for your 4 gigabyte memory stick, just so you can play a newer umd game.

This is with a RARE menu editor from loco, it will edit the coldboot.vag and the menu edit easily.
